FA Cup 5th round

Ah palacios that could of been goal of the season

SlickRic

what a great left winger Gareth Bale could be.

JPA

Villa Team: Villa: Friedel; L Young, Dunne, Collins, Warnock; Downing, A Young, Milner, Delph, Petrov ; Heskey. Subs: Sidwell, Carew, Delfouneso, Davies, Guzan, Beye, Cuellar.

Kess73

Spurs piling on the pressure now.


Gotta agree with Slick, Bale does look to have the making of a good left winger.

SlickRic

i'm pretty sure Pat Dolan has the horn for Defoe.

Kess73

Have to say that there are three players in the Spurs team that I would have loved to have seen in Liverpool colours.

Dawson I was hoping Liverpool would get when he was at Forest, with Huddlestone and Defoe being the other two.




Peno for Spurs!!!!

everdead.ie

Peno don't let defoe take it

everdead.ie

My god WTF is with us missing peno's

Kess73

Peno saved. What is it with Spurs and penos?

Picking the wrong takers? Bentley would be good on penos I reckon.

Kess73

another top save, Bolton can thank him for keeping the score down this half.

Bentley actually isn't a great taker Bale might be tho or kranjcar

everdead.ie

Replay at the lane so Reckon Gomes should start practising peno's cause he'll alway's be on to take them

Kess73

Villa/Palace up next.

Yep, I know.

But herself is watching some black and white on Film 4. :rolleyes:

everdead.ie

Good goal was just about to say Palace playing some good stuff Game on

Ah Des I sent herself to work so she wouldn't interrupt:P

SlickRic

bad defending there.

quite uncharacteristic for a Villa defence at a set-piece, as well as Friedel.

1-0 Palace.

I think he has been a good player since he first broke into the Spurs team a number of years back. Just think that he was not always managed properly or played to his strengths in the past.


A lot of what he does seems to be overlooked because he is not flashy, but he has a great ability for playing smart balls, and keeping the team ticking over, and is an excellent passer of the ball.


I see a lot of the qualities that Xabi Alonso has in Huddlestone, and given that Huddlestone has only just turned 23, he has plenty of time to develop.

Funnily enough 23 was how old Alonso was during his first season at Liverpool.

SlickRic

from an Irish perspective, Alan Lee is having a bit of a stormer.

and who is this Neil Danns fella? looks handy.

ha, just checked...he's 27, and was a Liverpool player at schoolboy level.

He used to sit more defensively and it just didn't seem to work, but he showed in preseason he can really move about the pitch and when he doesn't play we don't play half aswell

Kess73

1-1 Header by Collins.

everdead.ie

Good goal from Collins

SlickRic

nice simple set-piece.

Downing has some delivery on him; and a good header by Collins.

undeserved really, but 1-1.

Yeah when he is out, Spurs seem to be unable to switch tempos.

Jenas isn't half the player and there was talk he was on his way out to fulham for 5 million last summer

I'm just sitting here hoping that at some point the camera turns to a commotion in the Palace dugout, and it shows Stephane Henchoz having done a run in to clock Warnock.

he's a character and all, but i really can't stand the chap.

very inflated opinion of himself and his teams.

Very entertaning first half Palace have been excellent

Cannot stand him myself, and his spat with Henchoz is still fresh in my memory. Will never forget the end of that game, when a still angry Henchoz made a beeline for the dug out at the final whistle and Warnock went straight for the tunnel.

Bit like the Spurs/Bolton game in that the underdog was on top in the first half.

I wonder will there be a similar reaction in the second half from Villa as there was from Spurs.

I'd say so O'Neill will want a lot more in the second half and Villa hardly ever conceed once let alone twice

Headshot

what a goal

everdead.ie

What a goal unbeilevable fantastic

Kess73

That was a rocket of a shot.

Mr Alan

goalkeeper should be stopping that every day of the week. great hit none the less.

noodler

Setanta commentators are awful.

Delfonso clearly onside there but Lou Macari and co called it incorrectly before the replay so there is no correction.

Kess73

2-2 Petrov. Just after the ball had hit the keeper's head and stayed out in the previous attack.

noodler

I am really starting to miss FA Cup runs by the way. We better do alot better next season.

Daemos

6th Round Draw:

Chelsea vs. Man City or Stoke
Fulham vs. Bolton or Tottenham
Reading or West Brom vs. Crystan Palace or Aston Villa
Portsmouth vs. Birmingham
