MikeO

Surprised no-one's posted this yet but It's likely to be Villa at home (unless they lose to Doncaster in the replay) in the next round if we beat Liverpool in the replay. If we're going to have a run we're certainly doing it the hard way!

I'd have taken a draw with Arteta, Fellaini and a striker . Hopefully Mikel will be back for the replay, Felli will get among them, Liverpool's fixture list getting clogged . Bring it on!

The man's immense. That's his one allowed mistake for the season, could have picked a better time though .

Is it just me that gets more nervous at 1-0 up . Just makes you dare to hope . COYB!

He's at Anfield watching .

Bad news but adversity brings out the best in the lads... ....so much for a weakened Liverpool team . Hopefully without Mikel they'll underestimate us.

When people from north of the border are losers (football team for example) they're Scottish. When they win they are British . Go Andy!! He's a great player, will stuff Verdasco out of sight, but I'd be more confident of him making the final if he was in the same half of the draw as Federer, who he's beating consistantly now. Nadal will be much tougher. Did you know incidentally, that he's pretty lucky to be around still, survived the Dunblane Massacre (link). Henman was an extremely good player, four in the world at best, won a lot of tournaments, but Murray (love him or hate him) is on a different level altogether. Finally. Lived in Wimbledon for ten years, nice place but bloody chaotic two weeks every year .

That was worrying for a bit....my daughter went into labour early this morning. Bit thoughtless on derby day but there you are . Fortunately it all went quickly and the addition (Tia Louise) arrived at 8.25, but the wife needed to coo for a bit so we only just got home. Here she is with the badge nice and close to her brain seeping blue thoughts in before her dumbass red father gets to her .

Nothing on their web-site .

From the horse's mouth today... ....so you never knpw .

Even if Lescott & Jags are England's center backs ? Unlikely I know but it could happen . Otherwise I'm with you all the way!!

Really hope it's true but I very much doubt Del Bosque is going to leak his plans to some weasel from the current bun.

Check the date on that quote people....you were nearly right Bill ! The original thread's an interesting read... http://www.toffeetalk.com/forums/index.php...pencer&st=0 Shame for the lad, he looked a good prospect. Maybe he'll be a late developer and we'll buy him back for £10m in four years .

Brilliant response to this....best ever. If there are twelve people out there not voted yet we can make 100 .

What's the opposite of a draw ? I'll need to think about that one .

Mido to Wigan on loan to replace him. All Egyptian strike force, unless they can't hold on to Zaki.

The programme is about five years past its sell by date, should be cancelled imo. Don't watch it any more but I'll have a look tonight .

Complete bollocks. Can think of nothing more to add.

Lawrenson's prediction... ....that's put the kiss of death on us .

There was a problem with it when Louis installed an upgrade....he was going to put it back up when he could.

Always looks like a very useful player to me....don't really understand why people keep selling him .

That would explain how he managed to get a wife twenty years younger than him Taxi . Always wondered what his secret was .

Chris Eagles is having a good season by all accounts....young, English and versatile...and another ManU reject so would seem a big possibility . Robbie Blake was the star on the night but he's thirty-two .
