FA Cup weekend

I sincerely hope Reading spring a surprise tonight. This premature talk of Wembley again littering my Facebook since Everton beat Chelsea is sickening

Not sure if it's legit, but:

Beckford caught up in a traffic accident on M62 and didn;t make it to the ground in time to start!

He came to the bench in a suit

Reading leads 1:0
I'm disappointed as we play well and Reading's player shot somehow went in through at least 5-6 players legs standing inside the 6 yard box.

Probably we will need Man in Suit after all.

Distan with the mistake giving Reading a 1 on 1, saved by Howard

Very poor 2nd half so far from Everton, Reading is closer to doubling their lead, than we to equalizing.

Great save from guests keeper stopping Osman from scoring off the volley

Point for you. Well deserved by Reading as well.

Bit of a Fail from Everton there. Clearly scared of the possibility of Villa in the next round

It goes from bad to worse for Everton - Fellaini now out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury. (according to BBC)

Fantastic
It's worth mentioning that level of incompetence of Everton medical staff is quickly going to Arsenal's level, Fellaini first played slightly injured during weekend (thank you Mr Moyes as well), and later there were quotes that his injury is not serious.

Arsenal XI vs. Leyton Orient: Almunia, Eboue, Squillaci, Miquel, Gibbs, Denilson, Diaby, Rosicky, Henderson, Bendtner, Chamakh

Come on Orient, destroy Arsenal's most realistic chance of a trophy!

And let Utd win another

I'm hoping Villa can edge past City and then they should beat Reading which means they can fluke past United in the final...

Ok, maybe I want Arsenal to win tonight

Balotelli leads the line.

An interesting team from Mancini.

I don't get why Mancini feels the need to rest both tevez and Dzeko. It's not as if City can catch United and it's unlikely they'll finish outside the top 4 so they should be doing everything to win this trophy. Mind you the Villa team looks pretty average to me with no Bent (cup tied) or Young in the side.

Both line-ups are a joke, ITV should say "fuck this!" and show Corrie or whatever instead. This isn't the carling cup ffs.

1-0 Yaya

1-0 Arsenal. Good work by Rosicky who bursts into the box and puts in a low cross to Chamakh who couldn't miss from six yards out.

And villa are out of the cup.

Bendtner good header 2 - 0.

Now the fightback.

2-0 & both strikers on the scoresheet for Arsenal. Bendtner with a looping header after a cross from Gibbs on the left.

3-0. Ball given away by Leyton Orient, Bendtner takes the ball to the edge of the area and curls an effort into the bottom corner.

3 - 0 Bendtner.

Still can't help thinking we are going to do something stupendously stupid.

Bendtner slams a penalty home for his hat-trick. The foul was on Gibbs, Nasri also subbed on.

Villa may aswell have not turned up today. Bizarre really as they don't have that much to play for in the league.
