3-0!!! Now this is beginning to look like the old Man United!

EDIT: 3-1 now, Dammit!

[Gandalf]Defend the walls! Fiiight! Go for the trolls! Bring them down![/Gandalf]

 

What the hell are Man City doing?????

 

4-1

Tunisia 1-0 Morocco in cup of nations finals after 4'

EDIT:
4-2, Fowler for city

 

Final score 4-2. A rather good performance by United, hopefully there's more of this in other matches. As for Gary, hopefully Ferguson gave him some strong words...assuming Sir Alex isn't too busy checking on his horse.

 

FA cup full time

Arsenal 2
Chelsea 1

 

Reyes = class. No doubt. That first goal was terrific.

 

not seen it yet, maybe I'll buy him for my fantasy football team

 

you play fantasy football? where at?
I play fantasy football on yahoo.

 

we have a league at work. It's done with the daily telegraph. 200 quid for the winner

 

Great goals by Reyes, I'm sure his confidence is gonna be right up after that. Chelsea again next week, and Henry could well be back by then too. Nice!

 

Liverpool 1
Portsmouth 0

 

It seems Ferguson and Magnier have settled their differences over the Rock of Gibraltor, although they have not yet called an official truce.

And Neville was an idiot for butting McManaman.

 

Yes, Gary Neville was silly. If your gonna nut Steve Mcmanaman, you make sure the curly haired w**ker doesn't get back up.

 

Amen.

And you make sure to kick him when he's down too.

 

For anyone who hasn't seen...

FA CUP DRAW
Quarter-finals:
MILLWALL v TRANMERE



MAN UTD v FULHAM/WEST HAM



SUN'LAND/B'HAM v SHEFF UTD



L'POOL/P'MOUTH v ARSENAL

 

Well then, my guesses for the Semi-Finalists would be:

Millwall, Manchester United, Birmingham City and Arsenal.

(and inevitably, Man Utd will draw Millwall, and Arsenal will draw Birmingham... )

 

Wow, Millwall or Tranmere in the semis! Thats pretty cool, now lets just hope United get one of them

 

Todays fixtures:

Bolton v Man City
Charlton v Blackburn
Chelsea v Arsenal
Man Utd v Leeds
Newcastle v Middlesbrough
Southampton v Everton
Wolves v Fulham

 

Saints' first game without Strachan at the healm. Should be interesting!

I predict a draw.

 

1-0 Chelsea! Hopefully they can hold on this time unlike the FA Cup match

Edit: God damn it, Chelsea suck. 1-1

Edit 2: Chelsea REALLY suck. 1-2

 

Whoa, the Wanderers, they sound intimidating. [face_shocked]

I am also on the fantasy football on Yahoo. How many points do you have?
What position are you overall?
I have 1917.52 points and I am ranked 3676, but I was in the top 1000 2 weeks ago, two very bad weeks.

On topic, I am watching the Chelsea Arsenal match and what a game. I almost expected a stalemate!!!

 

Man Utd just scored! At last! Now hopefully the defence doesn't screw up...

EDIT: I spoke too soon, here comes the Leeds equaliser.

 

Saints' first game without Strachan at the healm. Should be interesting!

I predict a draw.

I predict, an Everton win!

EDIT: Final scores for 12:30 kick-offs:

Manchester United 1 - 1 Leeds United

Chelsea 1 - 2 Arsenal.

Seven point gap at the top for Arsenal now...

EDIT #2: Just watching the post-match talk on Sky from Stamford Bridge, and Glenn Hoddle is the 'expert', and he's just said 'at this moment in time...!!!!

 

I've just switched Soccer Saturday on for the afternoon, and was greeted with a picture from St. Mary's (Southampton vs. Everton)... the crowd has a big sign up that read:
