hate those fat mackems but wen they play man united a want sunderland to win am not gona lie a just hate fergie n hate all his players apart from giggs

a like leeds coz me half cuzun was in ther youth team a few year ago

I see Sir Alex is at it again. Thinks the assistant linesman had a bad game today. Said Rooney should have had a penalty. Well it makes a change from not having when you should as opposed to having one when you shouldn't 

If you listened to commentary, they said it was a definite penalty

I didnt but if it isnt given then its not a penalty, is it?

With the advantage of tellybox hindsight, it looked very much a penalty.

Liverpool are my number one, hate them. 

 

Even though their fans were treated like shit by the police and Thatcher and scousers generally match my political views much more than Norfolk Tories.

 

Mainly because they always turn over Norwich - every single time!  Also because Norfolk seems to have more plastic 'pool fans than plastic Man U fans and the most twatish pundits are nearly always Liverpool old boys going on about how that 'natural sense of humour' and 'the best fans in the world'.  So that wouldn't include the legions of Liverpool 'fans' who've never been to Liverpool!  That Liverpool exceptionalism really winds me up!

 

Most of all, they always beat Norwich!!!

 

 

Perhaps I should have used the term "monkey hangers!

That was great. Well done Bradford!

Just need the Swans to win tomoz and it will be a great final 

Its looking like Swansea City v Bradford City....You might say a tale of two cities 

Hazard getting sent off for kicking a ball boy is one of the strangest things I've ever seen in football.

 

Crazy.

I was only listening on the radio and it sounded weird. Gonna watch the highlights later on telly.

Hazard has been screwed over. The kid smothered the ball, then when Hazard tried to boot it out from under him... the kid decided to roll around and milk it.

 

 

Deserved more than a kick in the ribs if you want my honest opinion. Either do your job or sod off.

On the other hand why try to kick the ball from under the kid in the first place?
A stupid thing to do and it cost him and his club.... 

Because as I said, the kid was smothering the ball... you can see it for yourself, he's not even attempting to let go of the ball when Hazard attempts to take it away. So he kicks it out. Then of course Swansea saw that as a reason to attempt to get him sent off.

 

You can see it for yourself.

 

The kid even tweeted four hours ago.

 

"The king of all ball boys is back making his final appearance #needed #for #timewasting"

They knew exactly what they were doing, Sky even showed an incident before that with Lampard asking the ref to check the watch as the ballboys were slow to get the ball.

Okay I shall watch with interest later on.....

I just watched that clip. What the....

I'm not keen on the 'French' thing at our club either....... Getting like the bloody gunners 

I just saw it on Sky News..yep the ballboy did fall on the ball to stop it being retrieved and yes he did get a kick in his ribs for his pains..Stupid ballboy but an extremely stupid footballer too 

Yup

Reports saying he's actually 17... bit old for a ballboy if you ask me. And rumours knocking about that he's David Morgan's son, who happens to be one of Swansea's owners.

 

Made me raise my eyebrows when he posted a picture about his new audi s-line.

More to it than meets the eye then?

 

Still no need for the *kicking incident* though..

I've obviously missed loads. I managed to organise my viewing to watch the Arsenal v WHU highlights. I didn't realise there had been controversy elsewhere. Nice to see Arsenal getting back to entertaining football though but.

Woot! Etc. we beat the mighty Aldershot 2-1, hope we get another home tie.

What a load of ******* **** at Carrow Road today!  Every neutral will be calling it a 'giant killing' but for me, it was not that much of a shock.  Yet another FA cup no show for Norwich to add the numerous annual p**s poor efforts in the FA cup.

I don't understand the media obsession with so-called giant killing. I enjoyed the several occasions I saw Darlo beat big teams particularly in the League Cup. But the rest of the time the media has no interest whatsoever, preferring instead to showcase stories such as, Fergie is annoyed, Fergie calls someone an idiot, Fergie goes to the toilet, Fergie beats the Japs, Fergie learns to fly. Unknown footballer might have kicked ball boy.

Absolutely agree.  I suppose it's the only time of the year the press and pundits realise there's football clubs that aren't in Manchester, Liverpool or London. 

 

It's only six seasons ago that Norwich and Luton were both in the championship, so I don't think Luton saw it as quite the event the media will be puffing it up to be.

 

For most of their history Luton and Norwich have been in and around the same division with Norwich being a bit better supported.

 

Luton turned over the premier league's currently weakest side that has been a consistently rubbish FA Cup side for decades.

Nice rant there GJ 

Meanwhile Gordon Strachan, the nearest thing Football has to the Ant and Dec, is giving his opinions on the tellybox. I am offended.

I expect the sports press will be full of how much of a shock this is for Norwich to lose to Conference side.  How unexpected it is.  Well, if they checked out Norwich's record in the FA Cup, they'd know that Norwich are a truly shit FA cup side so they'd know that it's par for the course.  This is just another embarrassing no show in a cup match to add to all the others.

 

I'd prefer it if the club didn't even bother to put themselves in the draw for a competition they couldn't care less about.

We have now struggled against Hastings and then Aldershot but at least we are there in the last sixteen. I would prefer MKD or Luton in the next round but let's be honest, we aren't going to win the FA Cup. Maybe a home draw against one of the big Lancashire clubs would give us the opportunity for a full house and again the chance of mocking them.

I don't expect Norwich to win the FA Cup but it would be nice if, just for once, they didn't either get hammered by a club above them or get turned over by a club well below them. 

 

If it was a one off, I'd be annoyed, but it's not, it's a annual event.  Saw them not give a shit against Leicester in the cup last year and thought 'sod that, I'm not spending £30 for another no-show'.  At least I saved my money this season

 

I ******* hate the FA Cup with a passion!  26,000+ at Carrow Road today to witness that absolute shit.  I honestly think they shouldn't enter the competition because they're just ripping off fans.

Still, although it is an epic humiliation, I still don't think it equals 1-7 at home to Colchester!

Giant killings....

It depends which end of it you are are on I guess.....

 

Nice for the minnows to get a little farther on and earn some extra cash.....

On the other hand the Norwich fans must feel miffed....

 

Noting what has been said above, I currently have Oldham v Liverpool on ITV HD and I do want Oldham to win. 1-0 would be OK, but realistically I can see Oldham getting thumped.

 

 

Well I'm not a betting man, but right at this point I would be quite happy having predicted Oldham 1 Liverpool 0. At 2 mins in way too early though!

I don't understand...I have Oldham v Liverpool on at the mo. I noticed a while ago a through ball was played. The forward legitimately, I think, went for the ball. The keeper got up grabbed hold of the forward and the forward was booked but the keeper wasn't 

 

Yes, the Liverpool players seemed way more aggressive and physical than the Oldham player who I thought had a reasonable case for going for the ball. Felt a little like the bigger club being protected to me.

 

Hoping it stays 1-1 till 88 mins and Oldham sneak a winner...
