FA Cup Quarter Finals (8th/9th March)

Thanx 4 The Fish · 08-03-2008 11:01PM

Bit unfair there ironing. ronaldo is a very skilful player, I know that he is not universally liked by the oppo but he certainly is great to watch against every team except your own.

And as for fergie whinging, what's new.

Quotes from Fergie and Ronaldo (the crap one):

2) "After what happened to the Arsenal player Eduardo da Silva, I am scared to do my skills." (What skills you may ask)

I'm lovin it!

Maybe the ones he has shown all season?

So when is the last time a team from the top 4 didn't make the semi final, anyone?

If it's current top 4 you have to look back to 1987:

Semi-Final 1 Coventry City Leeds United 3 - 2 Hillsborough
Semi-Final 2 Tottenham Hotspur Watford 4 - 1 Villa Park

If it's top 4 at end of a particular season go back to 2000:

Semi-Final 1 Aston Villa (6th) Bolton Wanderers (Championship) 0 - 0 ; 4 - 1 on penalties Wembley
Semi-Final 2 Chelsea (5th) Newcastle United (11th) 2 - 1 Wembley

Watching MOTD. How many of the players I mentioned would have been so profligate against a team as bad a Portsmouth?

Quotes from Fergie and Ronaldo (the crap one):
1)Ronaldo revealed a lack of protection from officials had made him "scared" to play his natural game
2) "After what happened to the Arsenal player Eduardo da Silva, I am scared to do my skills." (What skills you may ask)
3) Ferguson said after his side's hopes of repeating their 1999 Treble were extinguished: "The game was decided by the decision not to give us a penalty. They had great confidence to hang on knowing the referee was on their side." (Boo Hoo)

I'm lovin it!

"After what happenend to the Arsenal player eduardo de silva,i am scared to do my skills.".............If he really said that then this guy is a complete and utter numpty and is a sad reflection on the game today.Manchester should send this guy to boot camp to toughen up a little. Boo hoo Ronaldo you are a fantactic player but what a wimp:mad:

Ha Ha Ha...Brilliant.

Just saw Fergies post-match rant on SSN. He's a disgustingly sore loser and I hope the FA don't let it slide.

Sideline ban deseverved for a few games (if it transpires though, it'll be sure to coincide with Bolton or Derby and not Arsenal or Liverpool, which he somehow managed to avoid the last time). Firing his chewing gum at the wall like that should incur a hefty littering fine too considering the example he sets.

Why wasn't it justified?
There's no denying that United let the game go, but theres also no denying that the ref was absolutely ****ing terrrible.

I agree. I'm fed up with opposition fans laying into the man. Every time he gives his opinions and makes justifiable criticisms people start whining.

mayordenis · 09-03-2008 02:55PM

he wasn't terrible, you should of had a peno, thats the only mistake he made, that doesnt make him ****ing terrible.

Necronomicon · 09-03-2008 03:11PM

Boro 0-1 Cardiff

Anyone surprised, given how the cup has gone so far??

Fantastic goal too.

Thrill · 09-03-2008 03:25PM

Cardiff 2-0 up. Good header.

mayordenis · 09-03-2008 03:25PM

0-2 another good goal
stays as is we're garunteed at least one non-prem team in the final.

evil_seed · 09-03-2008 03:27PM

2 - 0 cardiff

on fergies rant: it wasnt as harsh as some people are making out. he's a sore loser and thats it. his team should have won 4 - 0 or close to it but he's not gonna come out on tv and blast his players for screwing up all the chances that they missed, in fact he made light of it and laughed it off when asked about it. so he can only go and have a go at the refs, which in fairness, is what most managers will do when they lose a game that they clearly should have won.

the fact that the public and the press have made such a fuss about this has totally taken away from putting any sort of pressure on uniteds ineptitude in front of goal lately

dobsdave · 09-03-2008 03:30PM

Cardiff/Bristol semi?
That would be interesting.

Xavi6 · 09-03-2008 03:35PM

Another Prem team on the way out! Super stuff.

Unearthly · 09-03-2008 03:38PM

This is a mad FA cup

When was the last time a non premiership/old division 1 team won the FA cup?

Good question...Southampton 76? Were West Ham in Div 1 when they beat Arsenal 1980?

ROCKMAN · 09-03-2008 03:46PM

On " Goals on Sunday " they where saying that Cardiff where in financial trouble and need a win today to help survive

Anybody know if its true or not..

just one other thing about the ref and red card yesterday, the last man thing is a common misconception

the wording of Law 12 was changed and the term professional foul was replaced by denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to remove the implication that in order for a red card to be issued, such a foul had to be deliberate. Currently, if a player denies a player an obvious goalscoring opportunity by foul means, whether deliberate or not, he is sent off.

It's been an exciting FA cup this year. Bit of an embarressment for the Prem though.
