FA Cup Fourth Round Weekend Thread

Anelka should be a good buy IF Grant makes a system where him and Drogba can play together. If he keeps with the 4-3-3 then Anelka will likely spend a lot of time on the bench and so expect the sulking to begin.

The player who seems to get worse every time I see him play is Shawn Wright Phillips. Besides having the touch of a rapist, he seems to do everything wrong. His shooting, vision, and passing are awful. He's become the definition of a "pace-merchant".

what's up with wigan's pitch? looks horrible.

I was wondering about that line that goes through the whole field. It looks like they filmed the last scene of "Back to the Future" right there.

And SWP scores

If he missed that he might as well have retired though. It was all Anelka there. Funny that there was a chance earlier in the game where SWP could have squared the ball to Anelka and left him with a free shot on goal but Phillips decided to make an awful shot from outside the area instead. In that goal Anelka was in an easier position to score himself yet he still squared it to his teammate

Just got back from our game. We were pretty flat in the first half and Newcastle had the better of the chances. There were a couple of opportunities where they should have done better and Clichy did well to clear off the line. Diaby's effort at the end of the half was good, but otherwise we lacked any real co-ordination and fluency in our play, and a number of players were struggling to get involved. We improved in the second half, and once we scored we didn't really look like conceding. Two fine goals for Adebayor, and as others have said Clichy and Senderos played very well. We started playing with a bit more imagination and pace as well. The scoreline was harsh on Newcastle though.

Not as good as Torres though

how was mad Jens

Fine. He wasn't really forced into any saves that I can recall, but he controlled his area fairly well and his distribution was decent. He looked fairly sharp considering his lack of match football.

huth is $h!t and senderos is a pale imitation of him

the rugby league season hasn't started yet

most chav fans i speak to say SWP has been one of their better players this year

can't argue with adebayor being class, he's on a fucking hot streak right now

Spurs for the cups, all of them, Ramos knows how

Damn !

I so wish I was online between 3-4 this arvo.

Still, a belated

Every so often the FA Cup does throw up Magical days like this. for Havant.

Adebayor, is a Fearsome player. Just Fearsome.

The way he scored that goal midweek was like when you were 7 or 8 playing with a big group of mates your own age and someone's 13 year old brother comes on for a kickabout!

Man I'm looking foward to this match. We need to keep it tight for the first 20 mins. Lennon and Evra will be a good battle...

Expected line-up....

-----------------------Cerny--------------------------

Stalteri/Gunter----King------Dawson-------Lee Young---------

Lennon-----------O'Hara----Jenas-------Malbranque------------

------------------Keane-----Berbatov---------------------

United team today

----------------- vdS

O'Shea --- Rio --- Brown --- Evra

Ronaldo -- Carrick -- Owen H - Giggs

------------ Rooney - Tevez


Scholes is on the bench


Btw Spurs fans, King is not playing.

Any news on Vidic? Is he being rested or has he picked up an injury?

Huddlestone at centreback today alongside Dawson.

Little knock I think.

Come On Man Utd!

I honestly hope that Man Utd can hit them with a 4/5-0 or something. Kbnock their confidence and send them crashing again.

Spurs is back four is


Tainio -- Huddlestone -- Dawson -- Lee


If we can't score a couple past that, I'd be very worried. Could lead to a highscoring game as well.

quality.

0-0 for 70 minutes before O'Shea scores a set piece before the Mancs running in 3 late goals on the counter.

Whose the co-commentator?

Claridge?

Suprised you're interested in this game. There's no Fantasy points on offer.

Lee at right-back, O'Hara on the left of defence? Could be fun for Ronaldo.

Close. Its Ian Dowie.

Huddlestone pwns Rooney

With a lost voice, not great for what should be the BBC's prime game.

Giggs is on fire....jesus...what is he creatine???

G'd play Hardgreaves!

TRB2 taking on entire Spurs defence alone!

No way was that offside(!)

Keane scores for Spurs!

I wasn't expecting that.

Very good play from Lennon as well, it must be said.
