FA Cup third round and onward 2016

Davies though...

Carroll at least picks a nice pass.

Davies with a nice cross or two but really hard to see what else is at epl level

Jaysus tho our crossing is nice tonight.

The one game we don't play Kane but ah well

I can't see Carroll improving the rest of his game enough to be a regular, though I said similar about Kane enough times,

Dier might grow into a DM but his passing and decision making are poor and slowing the team down. Davies makes too many mistakes.

i don't think I've seen the team play particularly well since West Ham in November but it would be churlish to complain too loudly about the general air of efficiency.

Think Spurs have been largely dece since I've been watching but Leicester not offering much tbh

"Spurs wasted an opportunity to put the tie to bed" aka go 2-0 up after 55 minutes

is it me or this shit getting more prevalent in commentary

Getting quite fatigued with playing Leicester by now but Okazaki's furious run is always entertaining to watch.

Bolton Eastleigh looked like a proper humdinger though.

Great pass.

Jonathan Pierce is giving the most senile 90mins of commentary I've ever heard.

xp to self then he was like "Leicester need to score here" when they were 2-0 down with 30 seconds of injury time left. wtf

benteke is so crap at one on ones in stoppage time

Son wasn't great but two moments of quality were prob always going to be enough in this one.

Pos: wimmer looked really solid at cb, vorm both solid and nice and vocal, which lloris lacks. Bentaleb clearly a good option squadwise. Walker had a good night and even below par we looked likely to react best to a bounce

Hey: we always seem below par and rely on a bounce. Seem extraordinarily willing to give the ball away, not even by positive intent just by shit or dangerous passing. Eriksen and lamela really poor. Entire midfield waving their feet at tackles. Nobody can perform the Kane role. Davies is solid in a really bad way.

And ranieri p much just admitted throwing it.

Was gonna say it looked like Poch cared more but also fuck it, u play to win

Both teams played essentially a second string but Leicester could seriously have won the FA Cup, in fact it was pretty likely.

Going to Anfield for a bit of a sing was fun, and being in Liverpool (I haven't been here for something like 20 years) is too. The game was a bit underwhelming: we all knew we had no chance when David Noble wasn't in the squad, on top of the other injuries we have, but at least that meant we could get on with enjoying the occasion without being bothered by troublesome hope. Would have liked the home fans to be a bit more interested but can fully understand why they weren't.

Trying to remember when I last saw TWP score a goal that good.

Although due to in-law loyalties I'm all Derby tonight.

The next 70mins or so of this are going to be dire though.

was the goal a curler from just outside the left-hand side of the box into the top right corner? that's like the classic stereotypical good rooney goal that he scores every so often. in fact on one of the few occasions I saw him play in the flesh he scored that exact sort of goal.

"I think you can write things down too much"

ile board description

Haha yes

Why are we starting Kane, Eriksen and Lamela?

Respect for the competition?

Maybe aimed at avoiding a replay. Against a team bottom of league one.

Fuck, the camera just pulled away from that Colchester player but you could see his legs twitching in a really disturbing way. The look on the other players' suggested a grim one.

Missed that

We look shaky at the back, not fair to pick on fullbacks as clearly them caring about not conceding needless goals is not the poch way

Carroll vg there

Attempting to get an autograph off Michel Vorm is probably the single lamest thing I've ever seen a pitch invader do.

Noted as such by savage tbf

MK Dons v Chelsea is bare jokes atm, there could plausibly be ten goals if it carries on like this

Chelsea should be about six up.

Oscar has a first-half hattrick so this is now only of interest to see if he can get five or more, which means he will probably be subbed at halftime

can't see much in the fifth round draw to suggest that this year isn't going to be the most boring FA Cup of my lifetime

also refamiliarising myself with how astonishingly incoherent Lawrenson's co-commentary was in this game, even by his own standards. he seemed high

Jesus guus stop staring at me

Well that was entertaining

Come on you Tigers

Lol could've nicked that

Definite penalty we got away with, and now walker looks fucked. Busy start.

I like to think we're hoping adebayor not cause we care much about him but because we know he's likely to react appallingly and get sent off

Booing

One clattering, one nutmeg on Adebayor and a near own goal for Kyle Walker. Interesting 15mins he's having.

Funny one this. Son is v quick on the break huh

Am.really enjoying this hardman Tottenham outfit tbh

Good finish!

Two wonderful goals from Payet today.

payet has been superb all season but this is the vine which brought me the most joy https://vine.co/v/eFEeqvDbM3J

Palace in decent control of this, no real complaints

I think it's pretty obvious this isn't going to happen. A replay would be bad.

Bring on Man City then

Watford mate

Just seen

D'oh

Gave up watching that match, it was so dreadful, seems like I missed all the fun.

From the commentary it would seem Sollymarch made a significant contribution to the outcome, I don't know who this March guy is they're crediting with the equalizer though.

Excellent match. Deulofeu’s goal was phenomenal.

Drama!

Looks like i picked the wrong week to give up making jokes about giving up things

Yeah the Deulofeu goal was a beaut

ahhh bollocks

Commiserations NV, :(

can't moan, it was always going to be that kind of game and hopefully our younger players will learn from it. the cup run's been gravy on a great season. still believe this is the start of establishing ourselves as trophy contenders.

that is pure me from deulofeu

spurs supporting friend messaged me earlier to say that he wanted to score that goal

like a funfair stall, he cuffed it into the ball-sized 100-point hole

Fuck's sake City sort it out

Watford undone by the aerial power of Raheem Sterling and David Silva.

Cheers lads, another 5 or 6 would be nice

Keep 'em coming

Oh Kev you little scamp

wheres you sense of romance, nv?

a 4-0 trashing (probably another goal or 2 yet) was inevitable really

my sense of romance is watching Wolves in the Europa come July :D

Even Scottish football's more competitive than this tbh.

good dry run for cl final this

i dunno man i can see Liverpool getting at least 1
