Who is to say Woy would not have spent it more wisely??? Top 6 these days is an achievement for Liverpool - how the time's have changed
Never mind, they got a point today...... :whistle:Quote:

And as someone with a long-standing soft spot for Liverpool - my uncle played for them in the 60s - that is very, very sad.
Cup Matches are like Derbys, league form is often irrelevant. All 4 clubs will really want to win the FA Cup..Quote:

Spurs - Under performing, thrown away being in title race and now possiblity of missing out on top 4 again. A trophy would soften things a touch.
Chelsea - Of course theyd like to win but winning champions league /4th in premier league will be priority... yet they can miss out on both of those so they wont take the FA cup lightly
Anyway having been invovled in both the most exciting FA Cup and Champions League finals in memory.........I would never write off Liverpool not making a "half decent game" of things :)
If anything Chelsea v Liverpool would have the most "hype" taking into account the past 7 years history, now that could make a half decent game of things.
You could be right Sammi. I must just be in a half-empty mood today.
If you were a Dunfermline fan you'd understand......
Got to say I would like to see Everton lift the cup - not to annoy you Sammi - because I think David Moyes does a great job year upon year on limited resource's.....& they also put my team Blackpool out of the cup so at least we could say we got beat by the winner's haha.
If not them then Tottenham are a good team to watch & can beat anyone on their day but I get the feeling it might be a Liverpool v Chelsea final cos they always seem to meet in the cup's :shrug
haha if only they had got through that Champions league qualifier, (thats where rafa got his money, winning in istanbul and creating the "top 4" and giving us money) , Moyes could of made the top 4 a top5 a lot quicker than it took spurs or city to mix it up....... then again, I seriously doubt it , I think he is overrated - hopefuly he will get a big job one day and will prove it either way:)Quote:

On a more important topic, is Mancini a poor manager of men, or are Tevez and Balotelli incapable of being managed?
And -WHEN is someone going to introduce technology into this game!! A bleep when a player goes offside, or the whole of the ball crosses the goal-line can't be that difficult to install in Premier League grounds. The FA already uses video technology to review red cards, so they can't say there isn't a role for technology.
You talking about Kuyts "goal" ?:)Quote:

The off-side incidents in the Chelsea-Wigan and the ManU-QPR games suggest that match officials either need glasses or don't know the rules of the game.
tech for off side no, ball over line yes.
Seanchai must be a happy man these days - a modest bet on Newcastle to make a Champions League spot looks like a sensible punt. And they play good football too.
Never lasts very long, they usually have a protest once they lose a few games. Toon Army!!
;)
Aye we protested Daglish out of our club fast.Quote:

haha i knew you would bite eventually ;) i dont mind newcastle or fans, and we cant take the piss as much as used to be able to , thanks to the hicks and gillette show ;)
How much are you willing to pay for Andy Carroll?????? :screwy:banghead
With a choice of the amazing Cisse, Demba'ba, Shola Ameobi, Ben Arfa etc why would you want to add Carroll or anyone else to the mix?Quote:

Footie was best on Radio 5 last night, with reports diving around all the matches and a great panel in the studio. I switched off at half-time and enjoyed MOTD all the more as a result.
BTW, there are some seriously shit linesmen out there too. If Wigan had lost against Utd the referees' supervisor would have had to send yet another apology.
hahahhahah amazed at wigan. never took 1 point off man utd in the premier league before...........
Did you see Mancini? Says he thinks it's definitely over. Can't play mind games in the Fergie class yet...
QPR stuffed Swansea, the Arse probably nailed on for 3rd spot now, perm one from Chelsea, Spurs or Newcastle for 4th. Wolves and fuck knows who else for the trapdoor.
Super Arry' for england if he fails again and spurs miss top 4 (again) ? 8th most expensive squad in europe.. can you tell I am not a fan. lol
Yup, and now they're talking up Woy's chances. You can't make this stuff up.Quote:

Wonder if the mindless minority of Chelsea fans who repeated the Sun's unforgivable slurs during the minute's silence for the Hillsborough victims will be dealt with properly and also just how much of an edge will that add to the game?Quote:

Will only make us want to win it more, some people never learn. Bet those same "hardmen" dont travel to anfield for the night game 8 days after the FA cup either.
Does anyone care about the FA Cup these days? I can't remember the last time I watched a final.
Apparently Stuart Pearce has narrowed down his list for Team GB in the Olympics to 80. I understand the list includes David Beckham Gareth Bale and Craig Bellamy.
Is Olympic football any more interesting than the FA Cup?
Good question. I suppose we'll know in July.Quote:

Sunderland fan here. MON done a brilliant job for us, considering some of the dross that Steve Bruce bought. Still reckon we need to spend a few quid in the summer though to push on.
This seasons's been alright - apart from the Mags getting dillusions of grandeur. Agent Mike will fuck them up again....(please)
Still reckon City will win the league - Id love to see old Red nose's reaction if Man U were done. Key game is against Newcastle, then the big one at the Etihad.
Chelsea did well last night, bearing in mind they didn't touch the ball. Barca will batter them in a weeks time though......
As for Liverpool - another season in "transition". Same old shite really - they are waaaay of the pace. I reckon Dalglish will crack up next year...
Same old shite ..yet look how many trophies we have won since 2000 :DQuote:

Re newcastle and locla derbys. yes it all very well being shit, but being shit and 2nd rate locally, that hurts. Thats why we got to finish above everton as well as win the FA cup, to avoid a total disaster, sure we are shit but to be worse than everton.. omg..:(((
Im sure you will finish above them......justQuote:
