3rd round up this weekend and my old home team, York City have got Stoke away. Stoke, currently 83 places ahead of York, cross division [i]should/i] think that it will be an easy game, but my hopes are on the Minstermen to provide a shock result and get through to the fourht round.

Any other FA Cup related stuff, here is the place for them.

Come on Scunthorpe for the FA Cup this year!

@Abyss, I would like to see someone trying to red card the Forkrul Assail.

Reading beat Liverpool in their third round replay - cracking game too, Reading completely deserved to win




So United and Liverpool both fall to lower-league clubs at the first hurdle. I love the FA Cup

Well played Reading, Liverpool were shocking in defence tonight. The Reading wingers danced around them all night. Aquilani better learn fast that you don't have as much time on the ball in the premiership, he does some pretty things and looks like a decent link man ( not in Alonso's league though) but if he's going to endear himself to the Kop then he's going to have to get stuck in a bit more.

What's the chance's now that Benitez gets the boot and they give a new manager the rest of the season to lick Liverpool into shape and give him a nice pot of cash in the summer ready for next season. There is absolutley NO spark at Liverpool at the moment. Torres and Gerard are just not playing well enough to carry a team whose best player is Benayoun.

Too many mediocre players and inconsistent performances, if they are not careful it will come down to a who stays situation, Benitez ? or Torres, Gerard ( Mascherano's already on his way IMO). The rest of the season should be telling now that Liverpool have nothing to play for.

Mark Hughes anyone........

I love the fact that Benitez is the Liverpool manager, but I happen to be a Gooner. Well done the Runners!

Didn't see the match - or the highlights for that matter. But at least that retarded Liverpool fan on the train the other day will probably still be in bed curled in the foetal position, crying his squinty too-close-together eyes out. Happy days.

That is the attraction of the FA Cup for sure. Just wish the beauty of it wasn't displayed against Man U.

Any fellow Ipswich fans here? or even Southampton?

Should be a tight game on Saturday...2-1 away win I'm thinking...might even put a couple of quid on it...hmmm

[Tiste Simeon]

OK, not actually FA Cup, but Man Utd lost again, this time the Carling Cup against Man City... It is only the first leg but still... I hate Tevez...

Based on his goal celebrations, i'd say he's not that fond of you and your ilk anymore either

Man U were unlucky not to score more, but saying that If Mancini hadn't ordered the team to sit on the lead, I reckon City could have scored 1 or 2 more. Tevez was awesome, he tries so hard for his team. You must be chuffed that Berbatov has stepped in to fill the void......

City looked good up front, Tevez and that gobby Llanederyn shite Bellamy work well together, I can't understand why Mancini played 3 defensive midfielders though, Stephen Ireland would have excelled in that game. Whatever, it seemed to work though.

Saying that, Man u are more than capable of turning it around at home. I hope they don't though, watching Phelan and Ferguson thinking up ways to blame the officials is far to entertaining. Every week it's either Ferguson, Benitez or Wenger (or any one of 10 other managers) bemoaning the officials and talking of bias, what a load of shit, they've all got something in common...their teams lost.

That is all.

[polishgenius]

Tevez is such a nobend. Moaning little twat, hope we do them proper at home just so we're saved the spectacle of him thinking he's the sole reason anyone wins anything. And Gary Neville should be commended by the FA for telling it like it is.

[Macros]

Sorry if I'm the only Tevez fan here. the mans a workhorse and I felt his shut your mouth to that git nevill was delightful. As was his classy response.

Dad's a city fan so I took massive delight in the game, not a penalty, but imagining the crying that would occur gave me a great nights sleep

Aye, I'm quite worried about Bellamy recently - he's playing well and actually seems to have sorted his life out. With Robbie Savage and Joey Barton disappeared off the map too, there's not really anyone to properly hate anymore





I like Tevez. It's beyond beautiful to see someone stick it in Fergie's eye for once His celebrations did much less harm to the image of the game than Rooney sprinting 90 yards down the pitch to yell in the ref's face when he gave that penalty.

[masan's saddle]

Nah, a leopard never changes its spots, Bellamy is a prick who is universally loathed by everyone, even in Cardiff.
He is the archetypal skinny, foulmouthed, pikey faced chav who has delusions about how important he thinks he is. I personally know of 2 people who have had arguments with him in bars as a result of his "do you know who I am" attitude, one of whom actually chinned him.
He's been in front of Cardiff magistrates more that a few times, once for sexual assault ( to be fair he was let off as it turned out the girl was some wannabe page three stunna trying to make a few quid). Anyway, he's a cock, which is a shame because on his day he's one of the best players in the premiership, a real terroriser of full backs.

As for hate figures, I have a profound dislike for players who surround the ref and scream like epileptic toddlers whenever a decision goes against them, there are too many of these to mention. For some bizarre reason I also don't like Rory Delap....... " so Rory, tell us what the highlight of your career has been "?.........." Throw ins".
Dick.

Oh yeh, El Hadj Diouf is also a complete tool.

Perhaps more in Cardiff - you'd be surprised how many people I know who quite like Bellamy (including me). There's no denying that he is a bit of a wanker sometimes, but as a player he generally works hard and off the pitch, apart from flashpoints he generally keeps out of the headlines and is known for his dedication to charity work.
