I'd love to care but I just don't. Nothing appealing about any of those ties.

Your lot won't win the Wafer and you'll be relying on 7th place to qualify for the Europa League.

Care now?

Much rather the LOI than those fixtures.

The FA Cup is dead.

Three teams who really don't give flying who will probably win, a couple of teams that could do without the extra strain and Fulham.

It's the Chelsea's,Arsenals,Liverpools and other premership sides ,with their
0-0' and 1-1 's at home , the usual bankers, who have let me down latlely on the fixed odds coupens

Chelsea one up at half time. Coventry started terribly and shipped an early goal as a result. They've been more competitive as the half went on, but Chelsea are still creating the better chances. Doesn't look like we'll be getting an upset here...

Anyone else find it funny that the red button on Setanta brings you to SkyBet? haha

I was hoping for some sort of insight from Pat Dolan.

any streams? the one on iraq goals is pretty poor, and streaming football at work is the only thing that makes a saturday in here palatable!

i thought when players left the field after treatment they had to come back on on the half way line?i could be wrong!just both chelsea players were allowed come on where they went off and immediatly broke up a coventry attack and from the break scored.

Indeed, although the number of empty seats looks a helluva lot more than usual, and earlier than usual too. hmm.

Two fantastic goals by the Arse so far. Could end up 4 or 5-0 here.

Some great goals in the Cup this weekend but I think Eduardo has got the pick of the bunch, amazing technique.
