FA Cup 2014/2015

[Niall_Quinn]

Fellaini is so pub I am surprised Wetherspoons haven't tried to buy him.

He's pure pub, but not cheap and certainly lacks value.

[Niall_Quinn]

Utd all over the place. This is hilarious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Herrera scuffs it in.

[adzzzbatch]

OH JUST FUCK THE FUCK OFF!!!! :ilt:

[Niall_Quinn]

What a fucking fluke that was :doh:

Jammy cunts.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No Keown that's not the rule, sadly.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

FFS

[Niall_Quinn]

Miles offside as well.

[Niall_Quinn]

It may even have touched Shrek.

Standing right in front of the keeper a mile offside. It's another ref assisted goal for Utd. Their 30th of the season.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Keown you moran that's not the rule!

It's automatically offside if it's in the six yard box!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kilkenny booked for Youngy jumping in to him.

[Niall_Quinn]

Might have been Utd's first scuff on target.

Young starts his diving antics.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rojo booked.

Dive Preston, do it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gallagher puts the freekick just over.

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on Preston! You can take Dowd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Davies you idiot, should be a second yellow.

Dowd for some reason doesn't do it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Davies gets away with that. Certain second yellow.

Finally Dowd does something right.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Fellaini. :sick:

[Niall_Quinn]

Now we need Davies to handball in the winner in the last minute so we can see van Genius rushing out with another dossier.

:pray:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I sorta want them to win this since I fear you lot more and your voodoo curse should come in to play.

No offence like.

[adzzzbatch]

You guys know this will end 1-3, 1-4 :(

[Niall_Quinn]

Thanks God

[adzzzbatch]

Told ya. There goes our FA Cup :(

[Niall_Quinn]

Was a foul by Fellani too. Would be given 99 times out of 100.

Neither of Utd's goals should stand.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kilkenny, Davies and Wright off, Robinson, Reid and Wiseman on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Preston subbing their whole team by the look of it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Herrera smacks it wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Keown reckons van Gaal has been brave tonight.

What a cock of a commentator he's becoming become.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fellatio is probably their best striker.

That's how bad the other three are.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fellaini as a striker, Man Utd have sunk so low.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Idiot, why the backheel, why?

[Niall_Quinn]

Fellaini as a striker, Man Utd have sunk so low.

Van Gaal has brought the Moyes vision to life.

[Niall_Quinn]

If we can't rip this Utd defence to shreds we'll have been drugged.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think that's irony.

[Niall_Quinn]

Rooney is one of the choices for MOTM :haha:

It's fucking ridiculous.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dobby :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Waste from Robinson, too eager for glory.

Valencia. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Illegal goals aside, Utd have been a joke.

Apart from Rooney who has been world class and well worth his £300K per week.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Man Utd, idiot keeping.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wazza dived though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Preston 1-3 Man Utd, Wazza profits from cheating.

[Niall_Quinn]

Shrek goes flying in the box. A dive. What a cheat. Pen.

[Niall_Quinn]

That seals shrek's MOTM award then. Doing what he does best, cheating cunt.

None of Utd's goals legit.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I doubt the clapping was for Rooney ffs.

[Niall_Quinn]

I doubt the clapping was for Rooney ffs.

Course it was. Everyone loves him. And could you please stop pissing on the myth?

[adzzzbatch]

You guys know this will end 1-3, 1-4 :(

:gp:

:ilt: :ilt: :ilt: :ilt:

[Niall_Quinn]

This is the thing with Utd, you have to beat the ref too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He has to dive. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Commentators apologising for Rooney's cheating.

[Niall_Quinn]

"He's diving there, he's not touched him, but it's a penalty" - Keown

"Nothing in that, there's contact, but not a foul" - Keown 5 mins later

[Niall_Quinn]

Off the fucking line :doh:

And then Dowd clears it.

[adzzzbatch]

We're sooooooooooooooooooo fucked. :ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Preston 1-3 Man Utd, FT.

We have those pubbers to endure again. Great.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're sooooooooooooooooooo fucked. :ilt:

Are you serious? Not even we can lose to this pile of shite.

[adzzzbatch]

"He's diving there, he's not touched him, but it's a penalty" - Keown

"Nothing in that, there's contact, but not a foul" - Keown 5 mins later

Why do all ex Arsenal men become fucking shit pundits? :banghead:

[Niall_Quinn]

Preston 1-3 Man Utd, FT.

We have those pubbers to endure again. Great.

Defence just needs to brush up on the long ball bombing and Utd have nothing after that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's all Garner's fault.

[Niall_Quinn]

3 dodgy goals and Utd worm their way through.

We need to bid higher than them for the ref.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's all Garner's fault.

Dowd would have rescued it if they'd have gone behind by 2

[adzzzbatch]

Are you serious? Not even we can lose to this pile of shite.

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Building a little bit of momentum with their two wins in a row, against Burnley and Preston.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dowd would have rescued it if they'd have gone behind by 2

At least make him work for it!

[Niall_Quinn]

Rooney's first goal of the year, and he had to cheat to get it. That's how good he is.

MOTM for sure.

[Marc Overmars]

Us. :rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Neville :doh:

"He's not interfering with play, but look at the brilliant way Rooney tricked the keeper."

[Niall_Quinn]

Neville:

"In my heart it's offside, but perfectly good goal"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He had to get out the way, or he'd have broken his leg.

:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Neville:

"It was a nudge, he could have given the foul, brilliant finish"

Neville:

"There's no contact, he tries to leave his leg in there, you might say it was a dive but he had to get out of the way, it was a leg breaker"

England's manager in response to "He didn't touch him, it's a dive":

"Well maybe, but no not for me, he had to get out of the way."

Rooney MOTM :haha: :haha: :haha: You couldn't make it up (unless you are the BBC)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Versatility. :lol:

Lump it up to the big man proves he is multi-talented.

[Niall_Quinn]

Versatility. :lol:

Lump it up to the big man proves he is multi-talented.

tbf he can barge around in midfield, barge around up front and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he could barge around in defence.

[AFC Leveller]

Neville:

"It was a nudge, he could have given the foul, brilliant finish"

Neville:

"There's no contact, he tries to leave his leg in there, you might say it was a dive but he had to get out of the way, it was a leg breaker"

England's manager in response to "He didn't touch him, it's a dive":

"Well maybe, but no not for me, he had to get out of the way."

Rooney MOTM :haha: :haha: :haha: You couldn't make it up (unless you are the BBC)

These pundits are shockingly bad at their "job". How can he not be interfering with play but still dummy the keeper brilliantly? shocking.

[adzzzbatch]

Hotels in Wembley are already taking bookings from people in manchester :sick:

[Marc Overmars]

Must be for a weekend break in London for non-football fans from Manchester.

We all know United fans only have a short journey to Wembley.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ian Ladyman's (LOOOL) take on Rooney's "professionalism":


There was still time for Rooney to score, his penalty coming after Stuckmann dashed from goal to floor him rather recklessly. There were subsequent suggestions of a dive but that was something of a side issue.

Does anyone remember that Pires dive? You know, the one where poor old Portsmouth were robbed of winning the title? That's the French for you. Also, there are some Brazilian Croatian types who play like the French. Eduardo, for example. Remember that time the keeper brought him down in the box but it was a dive and it robbed Celtic in that tie where Arsenal got 5 goals? This is the sort of thing we need stamping out of the game.

Also we need to protect players like Bale. The poor sod had to dive up in the air when he was in the penalty box so many times just to avoid serious injury. Is this acceptable? It was like last night, Rooney could have had his leg broken. I think Stuckmann is a rather lucky man to walk away without being sanctioned.

Regardless of the injustices suffered by Rooney, he just got on with it and put in a man of the match performance. This is what marks him out from the rest. The skilful way he lulls opponents into a false sense of security by playing ten yards off the pace and pretending to huff and puff his way through matches. Then suddenly he pops up 5 yards offside to distract the keeper while managing to not interfere with play. That's genius. Simply brilliant. Not content with that he caps off the night by narrowly avoiding critical injury then stepping up to calmly slot away the entirely justified penalty. And this isn't the first time he's done it. All through his career he's repeated it time and again. His consistency is amazing. A model pro and the best example of an English captain kids will ever see.

You can trust me, I'm a sports journalist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bradford: Williams, Darby, McArdle, Davies, Meredith, Liddle, Morais, Knott, Clarke, Hanson, Stead.

Reading: Federici, Kelly, Obita, Pearce, Hector, Chalobah, Norwood, Williams, Robson-Kanu, Mackie, Pogrebnyak.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sherwood: "You have to take the rough with the smooth".

Clichés are back. :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Is no one ashamed that the whole world may be watching football played on a pitch in England that would shame any 3rd world country

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Magic of the Cup etc etc...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bradford 0-0 Reading, FT.

Not a classic.

[adzzzbatch]

One for the purists and all that shit.

[Master Splinter]

Aston Villa v West Bromwich Albion (17:30):

Villa: Given, Lowton, Okore, Clark, Bacuna, Westwood, Delph, Cleverley, Sinclair, Agbonlahor, N’Zogbia
Subs: Guzan, Weimann, Sanchez, Gil, Grealish, Kinsella, Calder

Subs: Foster, Wisdom, Pocognoli, Baird, Mulumbu, Sessegnon, McManaman

Ref: Anthony Taylor

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref: Anthony Taylor

:haha:

Almost worth watching this just to see the antics this buffoon serves up.

[Master Splinter]

Villa depleted. Pulis might bore this one out. It needs an early goal or it will be fucking awlful.

It's rubbish when teams play each other more than once in a short time period, never mind four days after the exact same fixture.

Shit FA Cup draws :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC's programme is on now.

Shearer and Jenas in the studio. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Experiencing losing to appreciate winning. :bow:

Keep them coming Tim.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crack on and get the job done. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Villa. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lawro is commentating to cheer us all up.

[Munchies]

BBC's programme is on now.

Shearer and Jenas in the studio. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berahinho shoots, Old Man Given saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good chance for Ideye.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lovely moment in a London derby.

Pearce. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

N'Zogbia booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Beachball. :bow:

Bit early for that really.

[Niall_Quinn]

I think English football is pretty much finished.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is a stinker, as expected.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. Magic of the Cup.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 1-0 WBA, Delph!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lescott. :haha:

What a miss.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cleverley off, Sanchez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sinclair you berk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berahino. :haha:

That was just as bad.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yacob sent off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Taylor. :haha:

He has done it again, ridiculous second yellow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gardner off, Mulumbu on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 2-0 WBA, Sinclair!

Pulis. :lol:

Losing at Villa Park twice in a week. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grealish dives, second yellow, he is sent off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"It's not been that kind of game".

Supporters on the pitch! :haha:

Jesus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WTF are they thinking?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 2-0 WBA, FT!

And here come another pitch invasion. Ridiculous.

[adzzzbatch]

Kick em out of the cup.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Kick Liverpool out of the cup.

Yeah!

[adzzzbatch]

Yeah!

I don't care either way tbh :lol:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Frankly i thought the BBC reaction was massively OTT, the pitch invasion at the final whistle whilst idiotic was pretty good natured, and it's the kind of thing you seem customarily in the lower leagues when teams win promotion.

Before the final whistle was again totally idiotic, but in the end no real harm done.....i'm sure a few police banning orders here and there and then let's hear no more about it.

Give up all hope of making it in the media if that's your plan, you're clueless.

In fact, indeed in truth, what actually happened was English football was yet again (insert hyperlink to chav racism) thrown into the gutter by thugs. Disgrace! Disgrace I say! Some bureaucrat on the take needs to launch an inquiry immediately. At least the action on the pitch honoured the long traditions of the sport. An good honest English football match and bags of entertainment for all. The game has never been in better shape, but can we get the fans to sit down, shut up and consume? This is the big challenge football needs to tackle.

Well my plan to get into the media was so secret that I even kept it from myself.

Next you'll be telling me that the media push loaded agenda driven stories intended to push an idea rather than inform

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Johnson, Markovic, Henderson, Lallana, Coutinho, Sterling, Sturridge.

Blackburn Rovers: Eastwood, Henley, Baptiste, Kilgallon, Olsson, Marshall, Evans, Williamson, Conway, Cairney, Gestede.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Skrtel knocked out already.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Skrtel is still receiving treatment. :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Skrtel stretchered off, Agent Kolo on.

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chance for Conway, slices it wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is another technical showpiece.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eight added minutes.

Can booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A waste from Markovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sturridge shoots, Eastwood saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 0-0 Blackeye, HT.

[Niall_Quinn]

Magic of the cup :sleep:

[Master Splinter]

Mignolet saves well from a Baptiste header.

Coutinho hit-and-hope coming up. Don't give him the fucking space.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gestede is giving them a torrid time.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sturridge goes flying after having his bodily electrical field mildly disrupted by another human being in the near to medium range vicinity.

[Niall_Quinn]

Balotelli getting ready to come on :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tommy Spurr is on the bench for Blackeye. :lol:

Sounds like a mascot.

[Master Splinter]

Gestede is giving them a torrid time.

Would you say he's bullied them?

[Master Splinter]

Kolo :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Agent Kolo. :bow:

Though he was pushed.

[Niall_Quinn]

Absurd miss by special agent Kolo.

[Niall_Quinn]

Would you say he's bullied them?

He's let them know he's there by setting his stall out and getting at them.

[Niall_Quinn]

BT split over whether Sturridge's outrageous dive was a pen.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another last ditch clearance by Kolo to keep Blackburn in it.

[Master Splinter]

BT split over whether Sturridge's outrageous dive was a pen.

It will be certainly given when Shrek/Youngy/Di Maria/Fellaini/Herrera do it against us tomorrow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Would you say he's bullied them?

Men against boys.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sturridge finally gets a reward for his persistent diving.

[Master Splinter]

Stevie Me with his Phil Collins-loving harem.

[Niall_Quinn]

It will be certainly given when Shrek/Youngy/Di Maria/Fellaini/Herrera do it against us tomorrow.

Not if Di Maria gets well and truly hauled off again. But true about the others.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marshall off, Taylor on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Balotellied it out of the stadium.

[Niall_Quinn]

Aimless hoofing by Blackburn. They are woeful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balotelli shoots, Eastwood saves.

[Master Splinter]

Sturridge and Sterling are just as bad as anyone in terms of diving.

They learned from two of the best in Stevie Me and Shrek of course.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henderson shoots, Eastwood saves and loops up in to the air.

This is all set up for a tap-in pub for Liverpool.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coutinho. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shocking from Gestede. Control it and bring others in to play, don't control it and immediately go for the glory pass.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another slapstick effort from Liverpool.

[Master Splinter]

United and Liverpool have been pubbing their way through every round.

It's ours or Bradford's Cup tbf.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lala beats his man and then immediately unbeats him

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cairney booked. I want to see some Blackeye dives.

[Niall_Quinn]

Crossing :doh:

None of them are good enough to cross it first time, which used to be the bread and butter of the typical winger. Talentless but well paid.

[Master Splinter]

Cuntery like that should always result in a red.

But at least Balotelli wasn't maimed by the acid spit. He could just have had a broken kneecap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Only one added minute of purgatory to endure.

[Master Splinter]

Lala beats his man and then immediately unbeats him

A poor dwarf's Hleb.

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 0-0

Pub classic.

[Master Splinter]

Brendan doing wonders at Liverpool again.

5th in the League, out of two European competitions at the first stage, struggling against another lower-League team in the FA Cup. I'd take him over Wenger and Martinez and Coyle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT. A well earned :doh: for all involved.

At least Villa were on hand to provide the entertainmet in this round.

[Injury Time]

0-0 FT. A well earned :doh: for all involved.

At least Villa were on hand to provide the entertainmet in this round.

Entertainmet ftw :scarf:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I gave up with this at half time. Even that was about 53 minutes too late.

:sleep:

[AFC Leveller]

Rodgers thought they were outstanding, they showed tremendous technical ability and their technicians were superb in terms of technique.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I've just seen the score.

So far 6 teams have played in the QF. Of the six, five have failed to score.

Makes me sad that I've missed the magic of the Cup.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reading 1-0 Bradford, Robson-Kanu.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bradford. :wave:

Really though. The ref is a tit. Apparently knees to head, and numerous arms to face don't mean anything. Whatever their pub teamer is called is a twat. Same reasons. Owen is a twat. Obvious reasons.

But hey, Wembley. Woo.

[adzzzbatch]

COME THE FUCK ON VILLA!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lucas is injured.

Agent Keown is pushing for Stevie Me to play for all the emotions it will engender. Another red card. :pray:

What time is the draw for the final?

7pm

COME THE FUCK ON VILLA!!!

I'd rather play Liverpool in the final personally....if we can't beat them we don't deserve the trophy anyway

[Niall_Quinn]

I'd rather play Liverpool in the final personally....if we can't beat them we don't deserve the trophy anyway

Same here. Much better final and it'll be a more enjoyable and gut wrenching 90 minutes. Exactly the sort of thing you want from football ultimately. We're better off with Liverpool because we'll disrespect Villa and go into the game unprepared.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aston Villa: Given, Bacuna, Baker, Vlaar, Richardson, Westwood, Delph, Cleverley, Grealish, N'Zogbia, Benteke.
Subs: Guzan, Okore, Lowton, Gil, Cole, Sinclair, Weimann.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Markovic, Coutinho, Sterling.
Subs: Jones, Johnson, Manquillo, Toure, Borini, Balotelli, Lambert.

[adzzzbatch]

I'd rather play Liverpool in the final personally....if we can't beat them we don't deserve the trophy anyway

I agree there's no reason we can't beat liverpool again, it's just the thought of them "doing it for stevie" is just so :sick:

[Niall_Quinn]

I agree there's no reason we can't beat liverpool again, it's just the thought of them "doing it for stevie" is just so :sick:

Let's personally deny Stevie Me his final bow rather than leaving the honour to Villa.

[Niall_Quinn]

Skrtel is like a Doctor Who monster.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Oh not Owen :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Allen. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh not Owen :sick:

I've muted the sound. Actually quite watchable as I can just about hear the crowd through the abandoned headphones but no trace of Owen whatsoever. I know he's still there, competing with the cosmic background radiation as the most monotonous noise in the universe, and that still irritates me a bit. But it's bearable.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A better cross to Bentekkers next time please.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good effort from Zog, corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for N'Zogba to play Benteke in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sterling's fall. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baker will soon be off injured, Okore on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Coutinho.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It may be an own goal in fact but no dubious goals panel for the FA Cup.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BENTEKE!!!!!!

:bow:

[Master Splinter]

Time to bring Benteke home imo.

Welbz :wave:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Free header for Lovren, clears it. :lol:

[AFC Leveller]

Liverpool V Arsenal in the final would be a better game to watch and would ensure we turn up and give them their dues.

Villa however might surprise a few today, they have a decent record against Liverpool.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 1-1 Liverpool, HT. :popcorn:

[Marc Overmars]

Where has Bentekkers been hiding all season?

[Master Splinter]

Is Coutinho the only magician who performs sporadically at best and has a meagre output despite all that abundant magic?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Mixed feelings for this.

On one hand Villa on paper are the easier team and I really really really don't want to risk this whole "Steven Gerrard" thing happening (I'd have to quit football for good if he got the winner), but as evidenced by yesterday, we also seem to turn it on for the bigger games this season so I don't think you'd get the complacency from us if we did have to face Liverpool in the final.

[Master Splinter]

Where has Bentekkers been hiding all season?

Injured, recovering from injury, Villa playing almost as bad as Chelsea, little bit slump, gets suspended.

Enter Sherwood :bow:.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Mixed feelings for this.

(I'd have to quit football for good if he got the winner),

Deal.
