Pink Balls - FA Cup 2014

Just glanced up at the TV as Blackburn equalised and thought they were playing with a balloon at first

q offensive to lower-league & non-league teams who will be playing in the FA Cup 2014/15 in the year 2014

good

Who said this thread wasn't open to them?

Burn NBS

Accrington have just tweeted that four of their fans travelled down to Portsmouth yesterday, only for the game to be called off, so Stanley boss James Beattie has sorted them out with four tickets for Southampton v Burnley.

Now that's a gesture.

Paul Robinson's first game for over a year!

shame that only big s/e clubs like southend have the set-up to put a game on today after the weather

Apparently the only games we're getting in the US are Leeds/Rochdale and Grimsby/Huddersfield, good work FOX.

tsk i was hoping for one last look at julio cesar :/

Forgot all about that guy. What is he going to do between losing his Champo place to Rob Green and winning the World Cup with Brazil?

my head keeps singing "Pink Balls" to the tune of "Blurred Lines"

oh that'll help no end, will that

xxp presumably continue to sit around and not accept any generous loan offers idk

quite funny this isnt on telly anywhere really as jc hasnt been on the bench for us nor has ever even once been seen training with the first team anytime to my knowledge - p much the most 'shop window' appearance of all time

gonna have to be a preposterous 0-1 smash and grab alamo classic

Rochdale vs Leeds
Grimsby Town vs Huddersfield Town
Macclesfield Town vs Sheffield Wednesday

appear to be the only games on "tv"

blades 1 up at villa

lambo excuses in early so no worries

see ur mind tells u cupset there but actually look at the teamsheets, whats the fucking difference between the sides

suppose one side does have the budding seeds of young raw talent there at least... long, maguire, baxter...

not like Karl Henry to concede possession leading to a soft goal

no, quite

never seen a cretin like him in all my days

if we do sign jelavic i bet that'll still be the only pass karl ever makes to him

Burnley have just equalised vs Southampton.

...and Solksjaer has won it! (possibly)

Rochdale now two-up against Leeds

can only imagine how numbing Norwich 1 Fulham 1 must've been to watch

slightly less numbing than Villa 1 Sheff Utd 2, fyi

i can see an entertaining side to that one, soz

are you reaching the Deal or No Deal stage yet with Benteke where you're wishing you'd took the banker's last offer?

eh still not really. no reason to suspect Lambert wouldn't have spent the money on arseholes and incompetents. Benteke still not the problem, it's everyone else. Like literally, everyone else. And that's accounting for his poor form and dodgy attitude atm. At least we know for a fact that he can play football quite well, which is more than you can say for any of the rest of them

itv finally showing live footy in ireland (or maybe its just fa cup) oh welp who cares.

Lack of Capoue concerns me.

Yeah midfield is gonna be easy to ruj through and centre halves easy to run behind. Walcott has had so much joy against us these past few years and thatll continue today imo

Does that count as a ruj through by Walcott just then?

Rujful yes

Good match tho

Oooohh

I like benteleb but get him off quick imo

Arsenal looking like a canny unit while we struggle to knit the front four at all, lennon not the player he used be three days ago

Arsenal can fuck right off over the reduced ticket allocation. If there are concerns about segregation they should have built the fucking stadium differently, it's not as if they were unaware of the FA Cup.

just realized i don't need to stream this. didn't know a spurs team could contain so much running

Soldado, cant be more than three inches from a red there

Adebayor isnt gonna play focal point today is he....

Gnabry rose interesting test of each

No fuckin way i just heard that

Never a foul there tbh

This is so much better than what we were watching last month its untrue.

Walker miles out of position.

Arah walker where the fuck do you be lad ffs

Lucky if eriksen gets away with that

Every one of the back four has answers to give on that one really

Does anyone shield it on the run like dembele

spurs passing still glacial

Careless more than the pace of it, which has definitely improved (as has the ambition on the ball)

Back to questioning if a coach has ever asked walker to defend or dawson to stand off the opponent.

That extra man in midfield is really showing.

Not a yellow there?

Clatteburg letting plenty go tbf

xp yeah supply is fitful to our front two now and they're keeping it very easily

Soldado kinda snapping at things now :(

jfc Rose.

Thats some cuntish fuckin messin our fullbacks would want putting in a sack en masse and fuckin beating cos they just wont play like fuckin adults

Soldado stinkin place out too.

Kind of incredible how dembele loses his composure within sight of goal

Thats a peno surely

Fair enough!

Lack of desire to play directly at goal here is strange and manky

I cant remember arsenal never even bothering with second gear against us before, this kinda sucks

More clownishness at back

Again no urgency there, eriksen fuckin asleep with yards of space in the box

Sloppy sloppy sloppy

There has to be balance btwn anal retentive hateful and this swing back to utter slackness

Spurs seem to be under orders never to cross the ball

Yeah the hesitancy in that area is killing me

Who would be the ideal Spurs manager, seriously?

Who the fuck knows

i.e. is there anyone out there who plays or has built a team the way you see yourselves?

.....arry

But he well deserved the boot too when he got it tbf, but a lot of it was for off-field nonsense

Think that's the beginning of the end for Attacking Football's Tim Sherwood. Just WHY would you play 4-4-2 at the Emirates with a 19 year old in midfield and then go 4-5-1 after conceding your second goal?

as uninspriing in its way as avb's negging

but not half as sick of it yet tbh

still cant figure dembele out.

in favour of a Walcott heel turn tbh

Raphael Honigstein ‏@honigstein 21m
Sherwood was bordering on the delusional in the press conference. "We was not not outnumbered in midfield, we wasn't."

Raphael Honigstein ‏@honigstein 15m
When pushed again, Sherwood then changed tack: "Okay, but we outnumbered them on the flanks." #strange

John Moncur's son starts up front for West Ham today.

Stewart Downing: wing back

Panenka!

https://twitter.com/AccidentalP/status/419616691711377408

lmao, classic

oh steve potts' sprog is playing as well

and rob lee's one on the bench iirc

20 to-me-to-yous along half way line, ball to wing, cross and header saved

"that would have been one of the goals of the season, just for the amount of passes"

lichaj to a grasshopper some of these poor whu kids

Have Forest always been known as the 'tricky trees'? I'd never heard this in my life until I bought Football Manager in 2006 and decided to manage them.

Never heard it until now tbh

1342:
Nottingham Forest 4-0 West Ham
Sam Allardyce is caught rubbing some lip balm on his chafed lips but there might be nothing at his disposal to soothe the damage done to his team at the City Ground this afternoon.

Andy Reid for five.

wtf was Big Sam thinking? I can understand giving some players a rest, but sending the rest out to be slaughtered is hardly going to gee the club up.

Transfer window statement obv

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdOF6L7CMAEI_oA.png

"I'm not suited to Bolton or Blackburn, I would be more suited to Inter or Real Madrid," Allardyce said. "It wouldn't be a problem to me to go and manage those clubs because I would win the double or the league every time. Give me Manchester United or Chelsea and I would do the same, it wouldn't be a problem. It's not where I'm suited to, it's just where I've been for most of the time.

Got love for u Damo Suzuki's Parrot but tbah at this point I'm kinda hoping Oxford beat us

No money spinning draw here! We will have to pay the Charlton fans to turn up for yet another tepid shit-fest against Town!

...that you will win

feel sorry for youse too tbh; shit's rigged yo

my old u-16 pitch fyi

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/818963/valley.png

Nice finish from Routledge.

Swansea take a shock lead at Fortress Old Trafford

I put a bet on Swansea to win this at 11/2

Mike Dean not happy about Man U gaining possession

https://vine.co/v/hYHM2WgxvgA

This is riveting stuff

What's that for?

the lulz

aw, shite

Sigh

inexplicable refereeing decisions, heartbreaking last minute winners, it's like Fergie's never gone away

What was the inexplicable decision?

Fabio's red sounded harsh?

Not really

sorry for traducing a referee

I really thought Utd could win that

Ha! Just remembered I've won my bet.

stopped making fun of my utd-supporting friends now, but still taking some vague solace from superior league position

League, schmeague. It's all about the Milk Cup.

Actually, forget that, I've just remembered City are still in it.

don't fuck with the gestalt psychic power of the spurs fanbase

City two nil down at home to Watford!

Pantilimon, Richards, Demichelis, Lescott, Kolarov, Navas, Toure, Rodwell, Lopes, Dzeko, Aguero

I was assuming they'd have the kids out, but no

fuck me i place one bet a fucking year and look

quadruple still on

The voice of Andy Gray.

hahahaha in your parroty face

Oviedo appears to have done something horrendous to himself.

assume from the players reactions it was a bad leg break

Aye either snapped above the ankle or dislocated foot. Hard to tell from the pictures but things definitely not pointing the right way.

McGeady looking surprisingly effective and productive so far.

stevenage are bottom of league 1

video of the Oviedo injury. Not for the faint hearted obv
https://vine.co/v/MBlx3q6UeMD

I've seen him ineffective vs worse xp

Ha! I never bought into this idea that this was a bye because we already beat you. No complaints as we were below par and despite testing your keeper a few times we didn't do enough to deserve a win or -the humanity!- a replay. Dale Stephens was a bit lucky to stay on the pitch after this ...
http://i.imgur.com/wyH36zH.png

xxp

well it's about time, I sat thru our home defeat to youse last time around and believe me I wish I hadn't. at least it's over, for us both. concentrate on yr playoff campaign idk

stephens clearly v slowly rubbing his leg on yr lad's so as to make insectoid chirp, also levitating

"at least it's over, for us both"

No it isn't, Town are at the valley in 6 weeks. Fuck me, tackles like that belong to the Jim Davidson/Gary Bushell era :p

who are YOUR celebrity fans huh

Our main one is Patrick Stewart, he is on Broadway at the moment but is quite a home/away ultra when he is in the area. I swear he is game as fuck and pops up at Yeovil Tuesday night away type games. Most people leave him alone because he is actually quite scary and not shy of telling gushing fans to Fuck Off when he is watching the game.

Others: erm.. Reece WitherspoonDinsdale and Chris Fountain.

that's a good one! it is kinda funny how our celebrity fans are pretty much all inexcusably terrible (michael grade too)

relying to fulham and chelsea tomorrow on a 99-1 accumulator

Fucking banked man! said the bet-killing demon from hell in a danny dyer accent :p

Ay, not sure I like the look of Fulham there

Think both will be close but should be ok. Settled for a 10-1 accumulator on today's results.

Oviedo has broken his leg in two places.

fuck

is he the tackling player in that vine or the player standing nearer us cos i dont see the injury causes there

still, eugh

This pic sort of completes the story..
http://i.imgur.com/ZcZKU9D.png

look it was a clash of legs ok

Even Powell, credit to him isn't talking that kind of bullshit.

lol i be windin' u up

Oviedo was making the tackle and seems to have got his studs caught, xps to Darragh.

p heinous tackle by the sounds of it xp. v rare for one of our players to pull something like that tbf (lol uh wiggins last week haha) and stephens, dare i say, isn't normally uh that s...

...hope the guy recovers quickly

Lol! the day our playoff dream died.

anyway who wants to talk about all that ugliness when you can behold beauty?

http://i.minus.com/i1E3mEgxSW1VT.gif

^that's what today was really about

ach, that gif misses the first 5 passes, including quite a neat trick. basically u got done arsenal-style

I guarantee you it will be a different story in March. Cup tied galactico signings back in the fold, just coming along to shit in yours and Stephens skulls.

Sorry my repartee is abysmal!

Get a gif of the 80 odd mins of garbage you played when you were often under the cosh against a below par mid table side, hence current bottom 3 placing.

allstar championship bantzwar :D

Watching the FA Cup highlights and was horrified that Andy Gray seems back in the guise of co-commentator.

apparently it was a one-off guest appearance

Maybe more like testing the water to see how much flak they took.

1-0 Sheffield Utd.

Darragh's dream slipping away.

Was always goin to be fulham wasnt it

Jol finally gets his revenge with the remnants of the team he built.

Don't lose hope, if your early retirement must be in anyone's hands you'd want it to be Stockdale, Passley, Hughes, Senderos, Riise, Duff, David, Karagounis, Kasami, Tankovic and Rodallega's

Benty will come on to save the day surely?

United down to ten, Benty off the bench. It's on.

Boom! Rodallega keeping the dream alive.

Not sure I can bring myself to actively hope for a Fulham win, but good luck Darragh.

This must be torture. Senderos just hit the bar.

lol are the Fulham guys in on this?

Omg lol.

Dying @ Rodallega.

The ads were right, it does matter more when there's money on it

:( sorry mang

This 'loitering outside the gents' sequence maybe not the effect BT were aiming at

I was tending to an ill mrs so the readthrough is appreciated but i gave it up an hour ago

Fiver down, not bad for a weekend of interest in the cup tbf

Those last ten minutes man, you did well not watching

I get enough of that from spurs as is tbh

Joyous

That was beautiful.

Lampard and schurrle clogging things up somewhat here

Latter moves like hes on casters and seems v onefooted

crikey

?

Man City v Chelsea
Arsenal v Liverpool

all the epl sides drew each other, all the lower sides likewise

scratch that last bit, I'm forgetting Hull and Fulham are giants now

Giants wouldve fuckin beated sheff utd

go fuck yourselves forever you shitty pseudo-masonic ultracunts

so obviously fixed

Greatest domestic cup competition in the world. Stuck on ITV 4 with one man and his dog in the crowd.

hi

watch charlton

Brighton awful, truly awful

lol

epic fucken troll :D

Hull City's posters for the quarter final match bear the legend "90 Minutes From Wembley"

just another reminder that moving the semis there is the fucking stupidest shitty fucking cunt's fucking idea in the history of the competition

lol fuck you fairy tales

kin ell this is murder

Unbelievable Geoff.

This is a very respectable defence from the lads Wigan.

wowzers

Man like Boyce

City still in pole position for the league though

surely 'men against Boyce'

cup can go die tho tbrr

Wigan penalty.

It was written

TNWRA

caldwell... collison... why uwe why

Blades kind of bossing this so far. 1-0 up and have momentum.

Hull get a neat equaliser. United score immediately afterwards.

who needs yomps

I'm a man united fan. but have to admit there's a bit of civic pride seeing city go through to the final.

and now they're guaranteed a Europa cup place next season!

really? I thought the arse had to finish top 4?

i meant because they've got Arsenal

the question we must ask ourselves is does it really count if u win something while everyone's watching la liga

can't believe none of the pubs round here are showing it

I've got a mate (Arsenal fan) out atm scouting round Naples to try and find a bar showing the game, fairly certain he'll fail and I've not got the heart to tell him that I'm staying in to watch a stream of Atleti-Barca so I'm keeping schtum

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

oh yes

Loved that it came from a complete mis-hit from Thudd.

lol wengerpaws

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

MISHIT THAT SHIIIIIIIIIIT

Aye, comes square off his face, not a header at all.

cunt

Thudd loosening up

ballmanship skills in evidence

bullshit big club reffing as per

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TGSYmYVYdg

Thudd knew exactly where he was hitting the ball for that first goal btw

sherwood looks very at home opining next to roy keane

makes a change from shouting at benefits claimants

xp to NV I know you're happy and Thudd is an ILF hero but it was going straight back to the corner flag.

's weird, on my telly it went straight to Chester's foot and then the back of the net

Because he was in the straight line between Thudd and the corner flag.

boooooooooooooooooooooooo

hull didn't play much football in that half and how they survived those penalty shouts i really don't know but all the same, cmon yer bastards!

oh man

u idiot aluko

i know :/

think Bruce's caution has killed them tho

heartbreaking

fair play to Wenger, he is a good winner

does a good job for someone who hasn't had much practice

jammy shits

Eat less jam then.

thank you ilx you are the best for getting me to this game

For a second I thought I might die and just looked at my shoes because everything was wrong the game never started and nothing happening made sense, and then I saw a guy do a shitload of coke in the loos at half time but like at the urinal as if nobody else was around, as things went on it became clear the ref hated penalties, I lost my voice and jumped up and down with whoever was next to me when Ramsey scored and nearly shit myself when Fabianski Fabianski'd near the end

Later I nearly fell on my dog when we were running home to get pizza, but I just fell over, but who cares we won the FA cup

I still like it, anyway. A boring routine victory is no way to end a trophy drought, you've gotta do something special. Glad Arsenal seem to understand this as a club, but they should be thankful they didn't have to play one of the big teams in the final, with that double pressure (big team + final) it could have been a 12-0 travesty.

http://soccerlens.com/files/2014/05/Bn3TJLAIUAEzSRx.jpg

Got to watch the final plus Barca - Atletico at the same time as one of the TVs was switched to that hooray!

Best winning goal in a cup final ever of course.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6FBfAQ-NDE&feature=kp

AA-RON RAM-SEY

Taking the dog for a walk earlier wearing my arsenal shirt was awesome, people waving and smiling, shouting from windows, beeping their horns or on the way to the victory parade

two nil down, three two up, thats the way to win the cup! But I'm glad I don't have heart problems

Knew this was over for Hull from the moment Arsenal brought on Rosicky and Wilshere. They just looked knackered by that point. Not watched Hull very much this season but there was something so stodgily predictable about so much of their play, not much pace and so many players running up and down in straight lines, kind of amazing they managed to go 2-0 up in the first place.

they were missing their two first choice strikers in fairness

Yeah but it was ok the ref evened it out by not giving Arsenal 500 penalties

Arsenal also tried to help by giving up two goals in the spirit of fair play

arse watershed redemption narrative is obv demob happy fa cup holiday cobblers, a proper rival would have given them another trashing

They should have got to the final then

In fairness Arsenal did knock out three of the four teams immediately above and below them, I think they've got that angle covered.

Struggled far more against Hull and Wigan than Everton and Liverpool. The expectations were a bigger hurdle.

and "all" Man City had to do was beat Wigan, twice

burnley spurs streams?

like wtf is this the middle ages

the realest player in britain just scored against liverpool

16 stone of pure legend. Wimbledon dominated that first half.

Dom Passantino and Adebayo Akinfenwa are joyriding around Northampton at speed. Dom’s attention is drawn by a passing chubby ‘emo’ girl and, distracted, he ploughs the car into a shoe-making museum and both he and Adebayo die.

Outside the gates of heaven, St Peter asks for their names. Adebayo says “I am Saheed Adebayo Akinfenwa”. St Peter checks his computer and finds out that Adebayo is “a professional footballer currently playing for Football League One side Northampton. He is a large and imposing forward with a sometimes physical style”. The angel beckons him inside.

Dom then steps up and says “I am Domingo Cesare Paolo Passantino”. St Peter checks his computer and reads back: “Seemingly inconsequential journalist. Not sure about popularity or notability. Seems as though this article should be deleted” and Dom is assigned forever to limbo.

sean dyche's mother worked in a shoe factory in northampton

oh obv, 'realest' as in narrative realest

he just hugged balotelli on cam, if xkcd stickman can't show some vulnerability now he never shal

neil ruddock is the most deplorable of footballers, anyone who lies with dogs like that deserves bubonic fleas

i'm more pissed off about them ruining a perfectly pleasant kids' game than anything

this turned into a bit of a cup tie by the sound of it, blizzard and all

freekick in the last second, handball, Fulham have a pen to make it 3-3

McCormack scores it. shoot-out time :/

and that's us for another year, crazy

removing the gloves was u & k

Some suggestion that Robles was going to get a second yellow for persistently coming off his line during the shootout. What happens in that scenario? Outfield player goes in for the remainder, I guess.

Anyway, exhausting to listen to. Partly due to Clive Allen.

4 unanswered Spurs goals from Paulinho, Capoue, Chiriches, and Rose.

I forgot about this in my defence I was footballing in 100kmh gusts

what a moment for cambridge united

Spurs, Southampton, City and Chelsea all out as it stands.

Lol 4-2 Bradford.

wow !

Ho ho ho

2-0 to middlesbrough also

yeah that was fun

stage is now properly set for stevie g to score a hat trick of og's on his farewell wembley bday

sad thing is it's actually all the mid-to-lower epl clubs that feel the true burn of what might have been when days like today happen

There should be an FA Cup style tourney for baseball imo

lazar for enrique imo

Lol a Betfair punter staked £44k on Chelsea @ 1/100 when they where 2-0 up, don't feel so sour about my £3.80's worth of acc's going down now.

fuuuuck

there was a similar whale type punter who got burned on that famous 3-0/5-3 Man U comeback against Spurs back in '01.

well tbh hard to feel sorry for that fool

That fourth Bradford goal, though. The Chelsea defence being unpicked by the intricate footwork of Jon Stead...

genuinely toplev goal that

Not seen Steadinho since 2003!

he stood out, big coming out of that typical delayed awkward adolescence

ah spurs tho, lol

kaboul.

vorm.

ah here not the finger lads fuck off

wtf is going on at bramall lane?

4 goals in 3 games for Ideye.

Sweet header from Kramaric but Schwarzer has handed this to Villa.

Enjoyed Pearce and Savage's overlong spiel about how brilliant Given had been, prolonged further by them awkwardly realising the video editors were repeatedly replaying Given almost giving away a goal by fumbling a tame cross, and having to gradually adjust to say he may have been disappointed to have not held the first save because he held himself to such high standards

The only other notable things he did in the match were make a great save and pass the ball to a Leicester player inside the Villa 6 yard area

Feelinng super retro watching Bradford leading Sunderland on a shonky stream on a pitch of almost no green

It isn't the first time Steadinho has made Sunderland look shit against lower league opposition. Bradford have got a very good deal with him, he has been a pivotal player in their money spinning cup run and we were so keen to get shut of him we generously agreed to continue paying the bulk of his wage.

That was the first time I've seen Benteke play in ages. He looks rubbish now.

Wouldn't fancy being a steward at that one

never mind the stewards, what about the poor journalists who have to witness and describe such stomach-churningly horrific scenes

this sort of thing is simply not on :(

Not seen it, but twitter comments suggest it's just a standard celebration pitch invasion. What's wrong with that?

Or did something else happen?

60-odd particularly dense Villa fans invaded the corner of the Holte End after the second goal and were rightly criticised and booed by the other supporters as they were being shepherded back off

There was a full pitch invasion on the final whistle, which is a stupid thing to do for winning a quarter final, but seemingly everyone who works for the BBC appeared to be witnessing a pitch invasion for the first time ever and assumed it was some sort of attempted massacre

http://gyazo.com/587c0a9aeb6e4cac2538f8b800cf93a4

Nult is on the scene and has described the atmosphere as "toxic", and also feels that "sad that would had"

Xpost ffs tho its still only the semi final. Journalist outrage was as OTT as fans reaction, true.

Fabian Delph said he got bit by an overexcited fan I read on Twitter somewhere (McNulty?).

It was the pre-final whistle invasion that I think made the suits nervous. Although none of it seemed too "bad old days". Fuck, they've had a shitsucking season, let them have a release ffs.

thank fuck Nult didn't witness us and Rotherham last year

well how would he tbf

I just imagine a single tear rolling down Nult's face as he watches the fans pouring onto the pitch, repeating the words "will have known" while shaking his head sadly.

was seeing tweets about a pitch invasion, forgot what games where on the day so i had a wee look. fuck me you beat the baggies at home in the cup and youre pitch invasioning. that's about the only thing wrong with it, the proportionality.

lol, fair

I should state before anyone else that in their defence there's no DVD releases yet so ye without sin etc

during a particularly shit period of rangers form in maybe 2006 or so Celtic beat them 2-0 then 3-0 at home, in the league and cup, or the league and league cup, and actually released a DVD "remember, remember our two wins in november". which is sort of beyond parody.

odd that celtic would reference a toast to the burning of a catholic

"a club open to all"

jesus what has happened to skrtel

I'm guessing just a bit of concussion, hoping anyway.

http://www.umaxit.com/index.php/columns/why-aston-villa-fans-are-the-scum-of-the-earth

a sport festooned by irksome scallywags.

All in favour of this statement for new board title say aye

this is great

ref has been flawless except for not sending off Roja and fellaini too

is this Danny Murphy thats a few times he's been a shit cunt on commentary I think I hope he dies

Jamie Carragher @Carra23 · 8m
This is what happens when Fergie is not the manager anymore.

I don't get van Gaal

fellaini and smalling need more time to gel up front

Me neither (xp)

Keane claims van gaal in the door "literally two minutes"

It's come to something when I find myself actually thinking Robbie fucking Savage, Alan Shearer and Phil Neville are talking sense. PN pointing out the obvious there, that the half-time switch of Herrera for Carrick lost the match.

have long insisted michael oliver is the best english referee, seems everyone's catching on

He was amazing tonight, the look to di Maria before second yellowing the fucker was mint

I think that's about the 8th time I've seen Federici do that.

lol

arsenal making a habit of epic semi-final heartbreakings of lower-league opposition

federici presumably will now commit seppuku, or receive an order of exile from berkshire

Iconic shots of a dejected Gerrard enhanced by a huge gobbet of spit stubbornly clinging to his lower lip.

Detestable as Sherwood is, this is sweet.

Honestly I don't think I could cope with watching an Arsenal v Sherwood final.

Detestable as Sherwood is, this is sweet.

I mean, you tell me mate to be honest

Liverpool would've been favourites when the draw was made, but it wasn't a surprise they lost today. Especially with Gerrard starting

Honestly I don't think I could cope with watching an Arsenal v Sherwood final.

As oposed to an Arsenal vs Gerrard's 35th bday celebrations? POLL idea for last week
