Scenes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dozen Wicked Words

Woo hoo, 3rd round for first time in 10 years!


Glamour tie v Rotherham or someone now I expect.

That, and a pub by the ground I was barred from 20 years ago has burnt down, happy days.

Dozen Wicked Words

Watched the goals on the red button. Really do feel for Northwich Victoria, first goal was wickedly deflected, second a loopy speculative effort, flicked on, that would normally end in a goal kick and third where their heads had gone after they'd been pegged back. Still had a chance to equalise but our keeper pulled off a pretty good save.

I'll happily take a glory draw away now, money in the bank and concentrate on the league.

Now, here's the goals again!

Can Chelsea pull off the sho.......ah never mind.

I noticed that there is a Premier League program the midweek after 3rd round games.
As there are regular complaints of teams resting players is there any logic for the FA to do this?

For example Sunderland are away to Swansea on Tuesday night in the league 3 days after travelling to the Emirates in the Cup.
Is there any chance at all that Allardyce wont play a weakened side on the Saturday?? and why wouldnt he?

Their results have been woeful since the start of December, so great chance to force himself into the team if he gets a run out.

Be as good a chance as ever.

Last time Watford played Newcastle in the FA cup was 1989.
Watford won, after a Glenn Roder goal, in the 3rd replay

Different times.

Harry Palmr

Watford lead Newcastle 1-0 but that's hardly cupset territory
Everton only one up against the Daggers.
Palace ahead of Soton 0-1

How did towell play today does anybody know?

Would somebody tell Michael Owen it's not called Division 1 any more?

Wasn't on tv and didn't see highlights so can't say.

Oxford leading in injury time v Swansea

Harry Palmr

Oxford United 3 - 2 Swansea City.

Good game to watch hopefully Spurs and Leicester live up to it

Lots of positive reviews I read. Houghton said he was impressed too.

GLaDOS

Getting the full 90 while Brighton made 3 subs is a good sign anyway

With them playing again on Weds, and it being a much bigger game, I'd be shocked if there isn't a load of changes for both sides.

GreNoLi

Should be a decent game between spurs and leicester.

GreNoLi

One all, good game.

dfx-

Decent game, definitely needed the Leicester equaliser.

Unfortunately watcing BBC reminds me how much I dislike Jonathan Pearce's judgemental tone in commentary.

'JP' loves sticking in those subtle jabs towards foreign managers.

Mr.Crinklewood

Terrible defending by Spurs ( and Kyle Walker ) not even involved.

GreNoLi

Lovely feint by Okazaki in the lead up to his goal, 2-1 leicester.

Another big FA cup penalty.

RobertKK

Kane took a penalty similar to Rooney's.

None of us know if it was on purpose, but it has to be handball really.

No way, not for me. It's not deliberate handball. There's no way I look at that and say it's deliberate. It's a natural movement when turning for me. I feel Leicester have been robbed.

Never ever a penalty. Awful decision by the referee. The very definition of ball to hand.

Absolutely. He's turning naturally and the ball has dropped onto his hand. Such a poor decision.

blueser

Exceedingly soft penalty. I wish we got penalties as soft as that. That's the same ref who denied us a blatant (and a lot more obvious) penalty on wednesday night when Navas was tripped by Mirallas.

He's a woeful referee in general.

Nope. Just because the decision has gone your team's way, it doesn't mean you have to defend it. It wasn't a penalty. It's just one of those human errors.

KingdomYid

For me it could have gone either way, only Dyer knows if he meant it. If it went against my team I would accept it. Spurs were lucky to get a draw though on the night.

Agreed. Shockingly bad decision; Leicester were robbed by a human error, not by any great skill by Spurs.

i agree spurs were blessed to get a replay esp an 88th min equaliser against the run of play after our excellent start..

to my biased eyes dyer had his eyes on the ball , knew exactly where it was which is why he tried to stop rose by flicking the ball away slyly.. when rose had passed him

AdamD

Its hardly a shockingly bad decision if several people in here think it was a pen, that suggests it wasn't cut and dry. I think its a pen all day and I support Arsenal..
