At the start of the second half, here are the current scores in the Cup matches:
Arsenal 0 Swansea 0
United 1 West Ham 0
Rooney with United's goal in the 9th minute.
I'm on this link for the Arsenal - Swansea match:
http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/163604/1/watch-arsenal-vs-swansea-city-fc.html
Chelski are at 2-1 with Soton, with early goals from Ba and Hazard, but Ricky Lambert has just pegged that one back for Soton so that momentum may be swinging to the away side.
Still 0-0 here at the Emirates some 75 minutes in. Looks like we're heading for extra time. Very few chances in the time I've been watching the link.
Hey Bob,
I have been around for the matches but no one was on the blog so I just didn't bother
United winning at half
Goalless at the Em
Sotton get a goal back at the Bridge
2-1
Welcome, mate. How are you doing this afternoon?
Not liking that news you sent about Becchio this morning.
Not bad
Woke up to some snow and tough commute... annoyed there was no delay!!
United playing the same again today on FSC. Not making the game safe!
Oh - Giroud was straight through there after a great move but he shot straight at the keeper. Poor.
Here we go for the second half. West Ham get us going
The Real United attacking the Stretford End
Nani back for Utd
I'm surprised that there wasn't a delayed start. The commute in the NE this morning was a mess! Not a sausage here.
Oh - off the post from Theo!
They are knocking at the door.
The Hammers are asking some questions
Useless by Nani on the break... do you guys want him?
I wish that Nani was wearing white these days - you lot don't even like him!
Hernandez misses a great chance.. blasts over
Diaby being replaced by Ramsey now.
Oh - Theo pulls another good save out of Worm.
United are STINKING IT UP!!!
Less than five minutes now - Swansea seem to be playing for pens.
GOAL! Wilshere! That should fire them into the 4th Round!
Great lay-off there by Giroud and Wilshere fired home left-footed from inside the D.
Goal for the Arsenal... Wilshire
Chelski are still 2-1 up in the 70th minute. Not sure why all of these matches kicked off at different times.
United looking shaky at the back!
The Hammers are on top
YES.. DESMOND HAS ARRIVED AT THE BRIDGE!!!
Lovely jubbly!
Jason Puncheon with the Saints second.
Yup,
The Em started at 2:30
The Bridge at 2:45
Heaven 3:05
STRUTH... UNITED ARE PATHETIC... THE BALL IS BOUNCING INSIDE THE 6 YARD BOX... NO ONE GOES FOR IT... IT SHOULD BE EVEN
That will lift the Saints clear of Newcastle into 15th on 22 points. Is it possible that both Villa and Newcastle could be relegated?
Into stoppage time at the Em. Swansea have had no answer to that Jack goal.
There is only one team that look like scoring!
That's it - Arsenal are through to a 4th Round tie away to Brighton.
Looks like United need RVP... the fans are singing for him
Congrats Steve
I'm onto a link for the Chelski match now. I don't see a link for the United match.
Off the line by United... well deep cross cut out
I have it my telly... FSC
Ten minutes left for Chelski to dig this one out. Unfortunately for them, they've got Torres on. Boom boom!
Classic pic of Dave Mackay and Billy Bremner!
GET INVOLVED
Statisticians Opta on Twitter: "87 - Chelsea's PL record when 2+ goals up at half-time is W87 D1 L1, with the only defeat coming v Norwich in Sept 1992."
Thought you'd like it
Valencia still putting crappy crosses... so is Nani
West Ham have another great chance... over the bar by Taylor
Terrible defending!!
Statisticians Opta on Twitter: "2 - Southampton have come from two goals down to win only twice in PL history (5-4 v Norwich in 1994 & 4-2 v Fulham in 2002). Opportunity."
This would make a very good day for the Arsenal, with Chelski potentially dropping two points to relegation favorites. They've still got a game in hand on Chelski, Spurs and Everton.
Have I told you that this United team.. DRIVES ME NUTS!!
Torres blows yet another chance wide of the mark.
United get a sniff of a chance.. Jussi takes it off Hernandez's feet
I know what you mean. Seven points clear at the top of the table, into the knock out rounds of the CL, cruising into the next round of the Cup. Would drive me nuts too. ;-)
Nearly into stoppage time now at the Bridge. That would be a cracking result for the Saints.
Bob.. I know all of that.. i know that they have more points than ever before BUT... they have been EXTREMELY lucky!
There hasn't been one game that they have completely dominated for the full 90 minutes. There hasn't bee one game that they looked like they'd score every time going forward. There hasn't been one game the other team hasn't looked like scoring
It is going to come back and bite us.. luck can't last forever!
Nani just sucked again
nice move by Carrick, Hernandez and Rooney... just nipped at the end
Big shout for a penalty as Cahill is wrestled to the ground. Nothing doing from the ref.
2132:
Former England defender Danny Mills at Old Trafford on BBC Radio 5 live:
"Maybe Sir Alex Ferguson was sensing his side were losing a bit of a grip on this game against West Ham and Michael Carrick coming on would settle the side down.
"In seasons gone by, you would think you had no chance coming back into it even at 1-0 down at Old Trafford, but this season, Manchester United's defence is not what it used to be."
Neither winger knows how to cross... two shite crosses in quick succession by Nani then Valencia...he has been very poor this session.... doesn't deserve the #7 shirt
Sure - but you can't expect your side to just romp to 8-0 wins every weekend like they did when Ronaldo was around. No team does that - and it's incredibly boring. You've gotten spoiled by all the success - that's all I'm saying. When was the last time you had any relegation jitters about United - when you were 10?
Useless passing by United.. West Ham blow the break chance!
I don't expect 8-0 wins. I do expect United to be the best side on the park for the majority of the 90 minutes
I do expect United to be creative and threaten to score goals
I do expect United to be United... they're not
Hello lads. I have been busy teaching this afternoon and dropped by to say hello. I will watch the matches this evening.
The vast majority of United's teams from the Busby Babes until now... including the promotion team were attacking sides
Lovely... Desmond has stayed at the Bridge
If West Ham could finish, they could be winning
THey have been the better side this half...just like Liverpool on Sunday
Under 15 to go
I've just had a look at your "Goals Against" record. 29 in 22 Premiership matches at a rate of 1.31 per game. Perhaps not as good as other years, but not exactly bad.
Scholes coming on for the useless Nani
And spare a thought for Blues fans like your bruvver this afternoon - they've just given up two goals in the second half and blown two points that allows other sides to nip at their heels again. They're home record is rotten!
We've been lucky only letting 29!
Giggs wriggles in the box... crosses... penalty
Handball... close to the ball but it was a pen... will Roon bury it?
Up comes Rooney... blazes it miles over!!!
I don't believe in luck - the statistics don't lie. You've got some issues with your defense and keepers but the strength of the side obviously makes up for it.
Right down the middle ... but Johnny Wilkinson style!
United have missed five of their last 9 penalties!
LOL! Poor old Roon. Ah well, doesn't really matter. Time nearly up at OT.
Not liking it at all
10 to go
I see that it is not a vintage United performance.
Rooney is one of my least favorite players right now
He looks clueless and disengaged!
I've just checked the other sides - only Chelski and Arsenal have better defensive records that you lot - and of course they haven't scored nearly the number of goals you lot have!
Hiya MUR
Bob is having a go at me but I am sick and tired of these atrocious performances!
Untied could win 1-0 but if they play attractive football with pace... I'd be happy
The Prem isn't as good as it used to be either!
I can understand your frustration with Roon. He needs to be dropped and to get his head sorted out.
He's been out for weeks.. why isn't he raring to go
Shocker... Hernandez is offside... PAY ATTENTION
I don't like the commentators saying he plays on the edge... just stay back a foot!!!
I have noticed that too, UWS. United are on pace to have a record number of points, but are not playing well. What does that say about the rest of the EPL? Is the Epl even the best league any more. Bob is always good for having a go.
Hernandez... puts the ball in the net... BUT... HE'S OFFSIDE!!!
Sounds like the Hammers are doing sod all to get back into this one.
Great pass by Giggs... he has been good tonight
As they say, you can only beat those who are in front of you.
They had a stretch where if they had anyone who was capable of hitting the big rectangle they would be leaving
Welcome back, MUR - UWS is just grumpy about the wintry weather in ENY. Here in WNY it's bee-yoo-tiful!
The fans are trying to up the team
"customary Scholes yellow card"
Stupid tackle... I think he means it!
So you've won this one - into the next round of the Cup against Fulham at OT and you've been able to rest RVP, Vidic, Rio, Welbeck, etc. Am I missing something?
I am grumpy with my beloved not entertaining me
we had similar weather to your visit sunday through yesterday, but the sun came out today. Hope we can give UWS some of our cheer.
Simple.. THEY ARE NOT PLAYING THE UNITED WAY!!!
SIMPLE
3 added minutes
So what is the best league? Is it La Liga?
So what is the best league? Is it La Liga?
I disagree - United have always had the knack of winning matches when they're not exactly clicking. That is the Fergie way.
United took the lead in the 9th minute.. teams of old would have strolled to a 4-0 win... this has been a struggle all the way
Some times.. but not the norm
I find La Liga to be incredibly boring. Look at how many bloody goals Messi and Ronaldo are scoring. It's like two Globetrotters teams against a bunch of Washington Generals-style no hopers.
1 minute to go.. looks like another scrappy victory
When are they going to play well? That's all I am asking
I thought they played really well against Liverpool on Sunday - no?
Giggs gets the ball on the left with miles of space but doesn't cross it to waste time.. the OT faithful boo
That is not what United do
Game over
Into the fourth round
First half
Second half... second best
That's that, then. We'll all be watching our sides in the 4th round a week Saturday and Sunday. Lovely jubbly!
I'm happy about that - UWS needs a Prozac.
Warning... Rooney's penalty is still traveling through the UK. Only leave you house for emergency reasons
Tom read this on Book face
I'm off home, then, lads. Enjoy the rest of your evenings!
Cheerio!
Well.. John won't!
Take care boys
TTFN
LOL! Nice one from Tom!
They are all beautiful and fashionable i have to say, and my friends told me they are of good quality as well. I have not see post good enough like yours here.

FA cups getting more and more exciting year on year, can't predict anymore who will win, always surprises me. What surprises me even more though is ability buy rs gp and use it to buy bonds at far lower prices than jagex offers.
