The Fourth Round Continues


Let's hope this is about to happen to Chelski's FA Cup hopes.
Hope to have some company.

Good shot from Sheva.
I hope his goals against Wycombe didn't wake him up

Morning, Dave!

Morning Bob, are you home watching the tellie?

9:09 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yeah, I'm at home finally. So, have you had a chance to see Rooney's goals from yesterday? I hear one is a potential goal of the season.

9:11 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Yes, I did see it. It was just a classy chip into the top corner.
Matt said it was actually on ESPN SportsCenter as number 2 for plays of the day.

Bugger Sheve scored. OG?

9:13 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

That's a pretty bobbly shot that's deflected in, but they all count and I'd count it in Sheva's tally. Three goals in two games. Maybe he's starting to come good after all this time. That's a frightening prospect for other sides.

Forest having been in with a shout so far

Interesting that the Chelski scrubs are doing the damage.

9:18 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

This doens't look good.
Chelski are all over them and look like they are playing as a team. I hope this doesn't give them a boost for the league

9:20 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Great free kick.
Game over.
Bugger, I was looking forward to this one

9:22 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

So much for you giant killer!!!

Of course, my GK was down two nil and got a draw

9:23 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Just call me Nostradamus - two nil Chelski. This is scary. Is the crisis at Stamford Bridge over. Drogs scores to say "yes."

9:24 AM

According to the BBC

POSSESSION
70% 30%
Chelsea Nottm Forest

9:26 AM

This one's over.

9:31 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I predict Forest are going to break and score and the Chelski's nervous nellies will come out.

9:33 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Let's hope so - I'm with you on that.

9:34 AM

THE BALL WAS IN THE CHELSKI BOX!!!!

The game is definitely over

comical defending

I guess I can shower without worring about missing the match

9:51 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Did you see the Rooney goal just then?

9:54 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Half-time: Very disappointing from Forest. They didn't even come in with a basic attitude toward keeping it tight. That's essential when you're playing a Premiership side. It is well and truly over.

Great goal from Roon - hope he can do the same for Engerlund.

9:58 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Ohh, Forest were a toe nail away from scoring

10:18 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Well, since this one is over, there is only one more chance for an upset.
COME ON BOLTON!!!!

10:28 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Face it, mate. It's not happening for Forest today. You've got to concentrate on United not dropping points because on this form Chelski will run you tight until the end of the season.

Southampton have just scored at Citeh

10:28 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Citeh have tied it up

10:34 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Look, Chelski have played thier last two games and have, so far, scored nine goals.
BUT they have played Wycombe and Forest!!!

10:35 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Leeds younster, stolen by Chelski, is on

10:38 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Citeh have taken the lead

10:51 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

There was an interesting discussion on the Game podcast with Danny Kelly this week. They did a survey of academy players who made at least ten appearances for Premiership sides. The team with the most players who had come through a team's academy? ManYoo with nine (five who still play at Old Trafford; for like Phil Neville who are playing elsewhere).

Leeds were third with six including people like Robbo, Woody, Aaron Lennon and Jamie Milner.

10:51 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Who were second,
Liverpool?

11:03 AM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Arsenal were second with eight players. You'd be surprised how many young players are trained at Highbury, never get a look-in under Arsene and then end up playing in the Championship or Premiership on loan. Jermaine Pennant, for one example.

The most interesting one was Wimbledon, who trained three current Premiership players (Nigel Reo-Coker is one) and now don't even exist!

Liverpool weren't that high on the list. Chelski and West Ham were four and five.

11:10 AM

Now the Arse are up. I thought for sure FSC would carry this match, but it's Serie A instead. Shame.

11:12 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The BBC,not Sky, picked the United and Arsenal matches. I think that has something to do with it

11:15 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

According to Talksport, Bolton are on top so far.

11:24 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Goal at Eastlands
Citeh get a third Beasley scores

11:35 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Half time at The Emirates.
Goaless. COME ON BOLTON!!!

Citeh go through 3-1.
Fifth Round of the FA Cup
Nine teams from Prem.
Five teams from the Coke.
Two ties still to be decided.
It could end up with another Prem and Coke team OR TWO DIV 1 teams.
Pretty ho-hum

I am having an agrument, through email, with my buddies about sibling greats.
It all came about with the Williams sisters in tennis.

One of my buddies gave a lot of hockey players.Who cares!!

I said the Charlton brothers.

Anyone got any suggestions?

12:07 PM

BOLTON HAVE SCORED!!!!

12:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

It was not a long ball goal.
Great passing

12:18 PM

Half an hour left for the Arse to pull this game out of the flames. Will it be another heroic finish for the Gunners this weekend?

12:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

DON'T BRING UP LAST WEEKEND!!!

What do you say to my sibling question?

12:30 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Surely it's time for some changes, perhaps another appearance from "The Beast?" Two goals in midweek (three if you count the o.g.); what's Arsene's thinking at present?

12:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bring on RVP, oh sorry, he is out for the season. Lovely jubbly

Serves him right for what he did last weekend

12:33 PM

A little unkind on RVP, don't you think? It's not like anyone has called for breaking Skippy's toe.....oh right, never mind.

What was the question about siblings again, mate?

12:58 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What is the best sibling duo in the world of sport.
The Williams sisters.
My friend gave a bunch of hockey players.
I said the Charlton brothers.
What do you think?

Game over.
ANOTHER GAME FOR THE ARSE

1:00 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Full-time: Both sides will be pleased. Arsenal clawed their way back into it against their bogey team and Bolton have a replay at the Reebok to look forward to.

1:00 PM

A 48 year run.

How sad.

Very sad to hear about the end of Grandstand. Everything's changing. No more Tiswas, TOTP, Grandstand. Next they'll be saying that the BBC has been bought up by Rupert Murdoch.
