Premier League and FA Cup Replay 30/31 March 1st April 2013

This united team may get to 100 points! Best United team ever? Unstoppable right now.

Johnson subbed off. Strange one, seemed to be having a lot of joy down the right in this half. Wickham on.

Rafa's pulled a McCarthy too. Marin starts, as do Bertrand, Moses and Mikel. No Hazard, Mata and Cahill not even in the 18.

Mignolet pwns RVP. Such a top performance, shame about the OG. This Man Utd team is a disgrace to the EPL. The Germans may have a point.

Chelsea are going to get beat today for sure.

Arsenal: Fabianski, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Rosicky, Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Gervinho, Giroud. Subs: Szczesny, Vermaelen, Jenkinson, Gibbs, Coquelin, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podolski.

Sunderland improved in the second half, but they are such an awful side. They genuinely look uncomfortable whenever they actually have to have possession of the football. It makes for dreadful entertainment, especially with Man Utd doing a typically professional job and not exerting themselves any more than they need to.

I really hope Sunderland will go down. I am really disappointed with Sessegnon who is looking way worse than last season. Will Connor Wickham get on the Crouch level during his career? Have my doubts.

Spurs and Arsenal both take early leads.

1 - 0 Gervinho

Taylor has just clattered into Giroud and got away with it. Could very easily have been a penalty there. Reading are giving Arsenal far too much space here.

One man team has doubled their lead in Wales. Southampton are beating Chelsea though!

Nice interplay between Rodriguez and Lambert, but Ivanovic and Terry gave them (and the ball) way too much space.

Who knows how good Jan Vertonghen will or will not go on and become. Right now though he is the best centre back in the Premier League. There, I said it. Come at me haterz

Watch out - if he ever turns rubbish and you have a go at him you'll get crucified in here.

What a f'n strike by Lambert from free kick, just a moment after Terry equalized.

Man City and Newcastle are 2 teams with fuck all cohesion with their passing.

Hence my carefully worded disclaimer at the beginning of that sentence, designed to fall back on when Cooper posts in 2 years time about Spurs fans creaming their pants over a player who has just scored a third own goal in one game.

1-0 City, title back on!

Vertonghen's goal. I believe that's what they call a big touch for a good man:

EDIT: Video link has changed to Bale's goal. Eitherway, both were rather nice


SWA 0-2 SPU by Samu035

We're playing fucking terribly. We don't know what to do when we get the ball.

Arsenal ought to be out of sight here. So many last-ditch blocks, shots dragged wide, the probable penalty, but not a huge number of very clear chances. It's very much one way traffic though.

Sounds like City should have a pen as well.

I don't recall any penalty shouts, other than the ball hitting Taylor in the chest.

2-0 Silva

Newcastle are horrible, Obertan needs to switch flanks because his one positive attribute is nullified when he's up against Clichy. Manchester are leaving a lot of space in behind so if Cabage/Sissoko can find a pass this might not be over.

2- 0 Cazorla

3-0 Kompany.

A Wigan goal would spell real danger for Sunderland and Newcastle.

Olivier Giroud, he scores when he wants
3- 0

Robson-Kanu pulls one back for Reading 3 - 1

Newcastle getting a pasting.
