PHB

Im very very happy with that team, the best we could put out there. Big big big big big game for Carrick and Fletcher today, they gotta perform.

Hope Robinho tears Rafael a new arse hole.

Because you know that eventually Pool are going to fall back to their customary"3rd round Champions league qualifier" position?

I like the City side. Putting Kompany at center half and bringing in Dietmar "Big Game" Hamman makes sense to me.

Have to say I'm seriously baffled by Hughes continuos starting of Vassell on the wing and SWP in the middle...
Starting Didi is a good decision for me

linkage?

Actually, think I'll watch the end of the Leeds FA Cup tie away at non league Histon. Probably will be far more entertaining.

Oh yeah, that was sooome game. Bit of a cracker at the moment to be fair. Histon are one up with a half hour left. In a quagmire. Real salt of the earth FA Cup stuff.

Frisbee

Ball boy nearly killed Ronny there...

Raskolnikov

Frisbee

Rafael booked for throwing the ball away after conceding a free.

Chong

FFS Howard Webb you toss pot.

that was redic, he thew the ball in the air were the kick was to be taken unreal

Frisbee

That was a great save by Hart from Berbatov's header. Didn't look like much when he first hit it, but it was right in the corner

Chong

Anything going down Ronaldo's side is rubbbish, Park , Fletch playing well.

You are, if you dont get a goal soon this has a classic counter attack goal just before half time for City written all over it...

Xavi6

We're gettin battered by the better team right now. Absolutely nothing up top to give the ball to. Silly yellow for Rafael but he's playin well.

Chong

FFS Shaky VDS yet again at fault.

amacachi

Agh! So close!

Xavi6

Lol typical Micah rabbit in headlights in the area.

lol. You leave the ball there. You don't pick it up and throw it behind the spot of the foul thus denying the opposition the opportunity to take a quick free kick. And you know this. Always a yellow card.

Anyway, Histon somehow held on (Alamo style) for a 1 - 0 win. First time Leeds have lost to non - league opposition in their entire history. Great drama.

Now to concentrate on the bore fest! :pac::)

Chong

COME ON ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

Beau x1

Ugh. I hate Rooney!

Frisbee

United 1-0. Rooney after Hart spilled the ball

Get in there,Rooney

My stream just froze as he scored. This makes me both sad and happy. At least we scored. :pac:

Hmmm, should Hart do better there? Shambolic defending on the edge of the box to begin with. Very panicky.

Maybe. Will have to see it again to see if he could have gathered it rather than just palmed it away...
