    Wigan romping away against Sunderland.

    Reading back on terms - THE HUNT!

    Blackburn 1-3 Coventry

    John Motson and the lads at the BBC do, for obvious reasons. Can't wait to see the customary clips of Ardiles' cup final goal and Arsenal's comeback win over United in 1979 to remind viewers of 'the magic of the FA Cup'. Its like the snooker every year where they dust down the video of Taylor's 1985 win over Davis during the intermission of the Final.
    It's the final year they have it for a while.

    Mystic Lawro is actually spot on for once.

    Does anyone actually care about the FA Cup anymore?


    Yes I think so, as an Arsenal supporter it may not be a number 1 priority but I still want to win it. 3rd round is not what it used to be,but as the competition goes on it gets better.

    As a supporter and as much as I love London, I will miss the finals not been in Cardiff, really a perfect spot for a cup final, and very much a second home for us over recent years.

    RONALDO
    1-0 in the 81st minute. This guy's form is ridiculously good.

    2-0 all over now.

    How bad were Villa tonight, don't know what O'Neill has said, but Villa were crap.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    How many times have Villa gone out against Utd?

    Mike.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    6 or so nearly in a row according to motson


    typically turn it off and 2 goals are scored.

    What a poor advert for an English cup tie. I wasted 80 minutes watching that :eek:

    Great goal from McShane today. The guy is surely Irelands 'Mr. Consistent'.

    And no credit for 2 excellent back to back performances in the premiership? All it takes is seeing McShane at his best to realise how good he can be. For me it's "will be" because I think he'll be learning lots with every game. Unlike, say, Phil Babb who relied on an organiser beside him for most of his career.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    He's shown that within a couple of years, if he can eliminate the mistakes in his game, I think he could be as good as the Honey Monster.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,013 ✭✭✭✭eirebhoy


    Aye. That fact is McShane was running back at full speed to put in a tackle to make up for Johnny Evans' mistake. If that was McShane that made the mistake Pigman probably wouldn't mention the og and just focus on McShane. He's dying for him to fail.

    harsh sending off for Lafferty dont you think?

    arsenal winning 2-0 btw.

    just me or are luton fans shouting something everytime crouch gets a touch??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Liverpool do a "liverpool" and score against the run of play, luton equalise few minutes later in the run of play.

    Liverpool are definitley the worst of the bunch from the best league in the world this weekend.

    Why the hell do the commentators on BBC ( mark Bright and ?) keep calling Rozenhal Rosenthal? Is it that difficult to read a name off a bit of paper, especially on ethey would come in contact with through doing MOTD. It's not even 1 its both of them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    Probably remembering back to the legend that was Ronnie.

    Shay Given is keeping Newcastle in the game.
