December 3, 200618 yr Liverpool get Arsenal get again in the FA cup. :( Still seen as we're at home we should be able to beat them. ^_^ I think we'll win this 2-1, assuming Wenger plays our best 11. I know it's at anfield, but if we play well I think we'll go through. I think we'll lose the carling cup one though. :(

I think we'll lose the carling cup one though. :( Well I hope we win but it just depends what starting XI's are played. If Arsenal were at home then I think you'd win pretty easily. :( But as its at Anfield I think Liverpool may win, but it'll be close.

AW will probably be a stubborn idiot and play Song :rolleyes: Here's hoping Gerrard gets a long term injury.
December 3, 200618 yr AW will probably be a stubborn idiot and play Song :rolleyes: Here's hoping Gerrard gets a long term injury. If he does then we will be ****ed. :( We'll only have Alonso as a centeral midfielder and then probably either Hyypia, Agger or Carra as a makeshift midfielder. :(
December 3, 200618 yr Bad draw for Sunderland. When I saw PNE i went Sunderland and then it came up. Hopfuly we won't do as bad as in the league losing 4-1.
December 3, 200618 yr Author I don't like all Premiership ties at this stage, it's far more fun to play a lower league side - for both teams.
December 3, 200618 yr Bad draw for Sunderland. When I saw PNE i went Sunderland and then it came up. Hopfuly we won't do as bad as in the league losing 4-1. I don't think they will. we are getting better wining four games on the trot we could go far in this cup. :D
December 3, 200618 yr Coventry at home - not a bad draw really, as we are pretty good at Ashton Gate. Bet I can guess the main live game on Match Of The Day though............. ;) http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/leechm/Basso-1.jpg
December 3, 200618 yr I don't like all Premiership ties at this stage, it's far more fun to play a lower league side - for both teams. i do, makes it more intresting latter on in the competition instead of having like just premiership teams from the 1/4 finals. Thats the beauity of the Fa Cup.
December 3, 200618 yr I agree - be nice to see a big club knocked out right at the start. All we need now is a Chelsea/Man Utd 4th round tie (assuming both get through). Football doesn't revolve solely around the Premiership. Hopefully a less-fancied team like West Ham can go all the way to the final again.... Edited December 3, 200618 yr by Mark Leech

Well one of either Arsenal or Liverpool is definitley going out very early on. I think a team like Boro, Reading, Spurs, Newcastle or Everton will win the FA Cup this year. I think the 'bigger' teams will be more focused on the Champions League and the League this year so they probably won't be too fussed about the FA Cup.
December 4, 200618 yr i do, makes it more intresting latter on in the competition instead of having like just premiership teams from the 1/4 finals. Thats the beauity of the Fa Cup. Indeed. Upsets happen but they're rare. With 4 Premiership ties it's probably about 3 less Prem teams in the next round which can only be a good thing!
December 6, 200618 yr oo Man U game will be tough but am sure they will scrape thru Also comeeee on Brighton :lol: if Hammers carry on playin like they are then we actually ave a chance woo
