Think Hughes is holding on for what he's got!

Didn't someone tell Elano that this is only a mickey mouse cup game?

Frisbee · 03-01-2009 5:30pm

Vela finally on for Arsenal. I expect a brace at minimum :pac:

UnitedIrishman · 03-01-2009 5:31pm

Last throw of the dice, Jo is on... So thats Forest in the 4th round draw.

Apparently it was just an argument over positioning but they both had to be called over to the touchline.

And it certainly isn't 'only a mickey mouse cup game'.

UnitedIrishman · 03-01-2009 5:34pm

3-0 Forest. Great day so far.

Lol Hughes must be gonski after this.

Fans at the COMS calling for his head now.

EDIT: Security have moved to surround the City technical area. It's gettin nasty.

Surprised Betfair haven't opened a live betting on how long he'll last on the pitch before injury.

Tusky · 03-01-2009 5:40pm

Very strong Liverpool team.

The Reds XI in full is: Cavalieri, Insua, Carragher, Hyypia, Agger, Babel, Riera, Alonso, Mascherano, Gerrard, Keane. Subs: Reina, Torres, Aurelio, Lucas, Ngog, El Zhar, Skrtel.

Cavalieri

Carra----Hyypia---Agger---Insua

Alonso--Masch

Babel

Gerrard

Riera

Keane

Torres, Skrtel & Aurelio all make the bench which is a big boost. Surprised not to see Lucas start in this one considering its the FA cup and he has been in great form.

Dont think so. We are already out of the Carling Cup so Rafa obviously feels its important that we compete in the FA cup. The team hasnt played in a week and wont play again until next weekend.

UnitedIrishman · 03-01-2009 5:51pm

Great stuff Southend just after equalising. At least thats one more fixture for Chelsea to deal with - down there aswell.

Tom65 · 03-01-2009 6:06pm

Blimmin' great round of matches that (as regards upsets): City lose 3-0, Chelsea draw, Forest Green 3-4 Derby, Stoke losing to Hartlepool. Anyone know if Match of the Day is on tonight?

mike65 · 03-01-2009 6:08pm

Nope, its an ITV production from now on. ITV1 10.20-midnight.

Aidric · 03-01-2009 6:08pm

That's a shocker of a result for Man City at home. Forest are amongst the whipping boys in the championship.

Big Prem team at home versus struggling lower league team. Hardly a shock really as they happen every year.

Shoulda grabbed that 8/1 on Forest I saw earlier.

Irishpimpdude · 03-01-2009 6:26pm

Hopefully torres get a few mins today

I was referring more to the margin of victory than anything else. It still goes down as a shock in my book.

UnitedIrishman · 03-01-2009 6:27pm

Worst thing that could've happened City was Calderwood going last week. Big start for Billy Davies there.

mormank · 03-01-2009 6:42pm

anybody got a link for the liverpool preston game please??

Daysha · 03-01-2009 6:50pm

Riera is brilliant!!!!!!!

Mr.Plough · 03-01-2009 6:52pm

great strike from riera

MementoMori · 03-01-2009 6:52pm

Yummy from Riera there. KABOOM

1-0 to Liverpool

Cant see anything but a Pool win from here - Hopefully a second goal before half-time and then some decent run-outs from some of the subs

Xavi6 · 03-01-2009 6:52pm

Absolute belter.

Knew we should have signed him 3 years ago.

dreamers75 · 03-01-2009 6:53pm

Preston getting a lot of joy vs the pool left back, hes not very good.

good strike from riera but sloppy defending for him to have the chance.

Sorry mate missed your post above.

I'm watching it on TVU Player channel 21500. It's on Fox Soccer USA. Might be some streams that don't need software on www.rojadirecta.com.

Totally disagree re Insua - he may have made one or two dodgy clearances and given some cheap throw-ins away but I think he has looked very secure overall. Given his recent performances I'd have him as Liverpool's first choice LB ahead of a fit Aurelio or Dossena. Looks every inch a quality defender to me especially when you consider he is only 19.

How out of from does Babel look? Seems to have no confidence whatsoever - not exactly going to give Rafa a headache as regards picking Kuyt over him on the right.

Babel nearly going for miss cue of the season there, cracking goal by Riera.

oh of course. i never even thought of google. just in a bit of a panic here tryin to watch. stayed up for it n all...thanks

MementoMori · 03-01-2009 7:06pm

Thought Keane did well there to fashion a chance (even if it did look offside) especially after the earlier miss.

Preston don't seem to have much of a Plan B besides hoofing up the long balls.

Xavi6 · 03-01-2009 7:09pm

I don't I've seen Chaplow hit a pass that was under 15 yards long. Disgraceful.

MementoMori · 03-01-2009 7:10pm

Superb by Carra there - in his favour all he was saying bellowing was "How?"

Xavi6 · 03-01-2009 7:11pm

Lol at Keane. That is horrendous.

dreamers75 · 03-01-2009 7:11pm

keane :eek:

edit x 2

MementoMori · 03-01-2009 7:12pm

AGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

That would probably have killed the game, just before half time - Bad miss

Great ball in from Gerrard though

mike65 · 03-01-2009 7:13pm

Keane = bottler

Alonso injured.

Headshot · 03-01-2009 7:13pm

Xavi bad news for ya

wright-phillips is out for 5 weeks

Xavi6 · 03-01-2009 7:14pm
