F.A. Cup Replay Fever!
It's another cracking afternoon of F.A. Cup footie, with two replays featuring Premiership sides to be settled. I'd hasten to add that the winners of today's replays will be gifted a path into the Final - the first at the new Wembley! - since they have been drawn against Blackburn and Watford respectively. Here are the two fixtures on tap: Spurs vs. Chelsea
ManYoo vs. Boro
Should be fun - won't you join me?

Looking forward to Smith and Rooney causing havoc in the Boro defense
United have no bench tonight.
Eagles, Heaton, Cathcart
Tony Guba is commentating but it sounds like he is some studio in London
Let's hope nobody gets hurt tonight unless they're Israeli
Boro look dangerous
The sound on the TV is horrible.
Rooney had a chance. Out for a corner
Vidic gets a head to it. Saved by the Aussie
Smithy vs Woody
An Elland Road old boy get together
Boro get their first corner... cleared and Utd break and Ronaldo shoots just wide
Another corner for Utd...a short one and it is cleared
United are passing it well
I'm here Davey-lad. Is Five Live on?
No... listen to Talksport
oooh, Boro got a goal with chance for Viduka.
He hits it wide
PHEW
Do you want United to win? You can't want Boro or Watford in the Wembley opening!!!
second thought.. I don't want your Leeds karma
Boro are starting to get some possession
Shame. Good to see that Smudger's been given a game for a change. Charitable of Sir Alex now that he's lost every striker apart from the tea lady.
I have heard she is pretty good inside the box!!!
Not very impressive by United.
Giving it away in the middle of the field.
Boro have had some long distant chances.
United with another corner. Their 4th... cleared
I'd love to listen to Talksport but I've never been able to get it. Probably isn't compatable with Macs.
United need a goal.
Boro have gone through by penalties in the last two rounds.
Btw, re: your tea lady joke - boom boom!
I have a Mac

Give it a try
Yes, yes, yes, I know the address but it requires some sort of exterior application. It doesn't run through Realplayer.
Smith should have done better with a cross. Rooney was there. He put it right to Schwarzer
I have no problems with it at all.
I have an imac
It says you need something called "asx." Dunno, I'm a moron.
COME ON UNITED!!!!
I just click on the listen live on the top left of the page.
A new window opens and Bob's your uncle
I'm torn on this one - I would like to see a ManYoo vs. Spurs final, perhaps with Paul Robinson scoring again from 75 yards against VDS?
At the same time, it would be really satisfying to see ManYoo go out on penalties with the Portugeezer missing the vital spotkick amidst a chorus of boos from the Stretford End.
Sounds like Spurs are stretching Chelski. No score yet, though.
Keep your good thoughts for United to yourself.
Root for Boro as much as you like.
In fact, put on your lucky shirt.
Don't have the lucky Leeds shirt here in Gville. We're not playing this week.
Ronaldo brought it into the box. Should have done better with cross
Btw, here's a tasty trivia question for you. Paul Robinson now has two Premiership goals - his other was for LUFC against Bradford. But which Premiership goalkeeper has the largest number of goals? (Hint: he's no longer playing)
THAT SHIRT AIN'T THAT LUCKY!!!
Boooooooo
Good trivia... give me time
Good luck wi' it, Sir Trev.
Good passing by United. The cross doesn't find anyone in the box
Good luck with all of those except your last game of the season
The four teams playing today feature the spine of a fine LUFC side - if we'd been able to hang to them:
Robbo
Rio
Woody
Lennon
Smithy
(Sigh)
Rooney was one on one with the keeper and the Aussie has it taken away from him when Rooney tried to walk it around him
I agree with you Bob
It is sad
Half hour gone at Shite Fart Lane and still goalless.
Lovely Jubbly
2041: Referee Martin Atkinson books Didier Drogba for dissent. The Ivorian is incensed after being penalised for a foul and slams the ball to the floor in disgust. He is not happy but punished for his petulance.
Cheers, Dave. Now do you also agree with me that it would be mighty satisfying to see a tiny tear down Skippy's cheek after he's whacked round the head by Roon after missing the crucial pen today?
Into added time... one minute
Half Time
United dominated possession but not many chances.
Second half is going to be all United
Just a tiny tear?
Any guess on the trivia? Don't tell me I've stumped you for once.
Still thinking
Spurs 0 Chelski 0 Half time.
I'm falling asleep.
Any guesses on the trivia from Sir Trev?
Go on - it's your starter for ten.
I'm listening to World Soccer Daily. Steven Cohen's talking about being back in love with DirectTV after they fixed his satellite dish on Saturday morning. What a corporate shill!
Are you watching any of the World Cup of cricket?
What about good old Freddy Flintoff - what a prawn, eh?
Second half to start.
I don't know about this keeper question
and we are off at OT
I only can follow the cricket online and Skysports News
Boro have a dangerous cross. Cleared
You mean Bamber Gasgoigne, right? Magnus was on Mastermind and "Starter for Ten" is based on "University Challenge," right? I haven't seen it yet, but it looks fun.
It better not be James. The hint said he was retired.
You know it, Trev. I can still remember seeing England vs. the Windies at Lords back in the 70s. They had that incredible bowling partership of Holding and Marshall. The fans were shaking beer cans with pebbles in them and chanting "there's no hiding place" at the England batsmen. Great stuff.
United have not started well.
Keep your Boro thoughts to yourself Johnno
Giggs has a good run. Comes to nothing
Woody with a saving tackle stopping Rooney in on goal
Good old Woody.
United are pinning Boro back at the moment.
COME ON
What on earth is going on with the United bench today - Heaton? Cathcart? I think Eagles is the tea lady.
"Oh, I know, I know, I know - Brian Clough!"
Yeah, Bamber is the frizzy haired ginger geezer from University Challenge. Apparently he is a noted academic. When I first met KC, she had a couple of his books and I nearly fell off me chair.
Magnus was the old bloke on Mastermind - his catch phrase was "I've started so I'll finish...."
No Boro goal yet. They're obviously conspiring to set up a penalty shoot-out during which Skippy misses and then shoots himself. The wee twat...boooo
What's happened to Dave? In the bog again....?
Park has come on, no doubt inspring another round of the following song from the Stretford End:
"He shoots, he scores
He'll eat your Labradors
Park Ji-sung, Park Ji-sung...."
Rooney's picked up a booking - big surprise.
Dave's obviously gone off for his "Getting Hit on the Head" Lessons.
"No, Dave, it's 'waaa.'"
Blimey, Sheva's scored a corker to put Chelski into the lead. He's on fire now!
Cheers, Trev!
Well, Trev's buggered off and Dave's been blocked, so I'm alone again....naturally.
Now SWP has scored! I think it's his first for Chelski. At this rate bloody Cech will score. 0-2.
Boro haven't had a kick in this one - has Viduka touched the ball?
Oh dear - Woody challenges Skippy and the big girl falls over. And converts. 1-0.
I'm sick at heart.
Pogatetz - classic name!
Spurs has pulled one back - and it's that man Berbatov again - with a pen.
Scratch that - 365 say it was Robbie Keane.
Looks like a Yernited vs. Chelski moneygrubbers final.
Shittu.....
Morrison's been red carded in the 93rd minute - wtf?!
Apparently it was for a challenge on our favorite crybaby - Skippy. Too bad he didn't take his bloody leg off.
