Come on the Arsenal.

We will come good just as proven in previous years.

There is honour in defeat but at the Cottage it was micro grain !!

Chelsea will walk it IMO

I thought that, but after Sunday's performance I'm not so sure.

[bon3yard]

The horror.

[david_carnell]

Please, please let there be a Palace fan somewhere on here.

So rarely do I get to gloat about any Leed's victories but this one, oh boy! 4-0 against a team in a division above and managed by Colin. It doesn't get much better.

[SimonM]

Colin used to put out a second team for the Carling when he was with Sheffied United, after that season we made both cup semi-finals but lost out on promotion in the play-offs final after finishing 3rd in the league. But, that said, he will be fuming after losing by that margin! Good to see Rotherham doing well too - God knows their fans need something to cheer about these days!.

Now if only we can see off Huddersfield tonight it should make the draw for the next round interesting...>:D<

[Annasfield]

Supposed to be going up to Anfield for the game tonight, but my tickets haven't arrived.

Anyone know what time the postie delivers in the Goodrich vicinity? :-(

[SeanMacGabhann]

Hi Anna - Friern Rd usually get mine at 2 ish

[Annasfield]

2?? Jeez thats late. (Cheers for letting me know though)

[SeanMacGabhann]

It can vary a bit bu sorry to be the bearer of bad news - I know you are already nervous enough about tonight

[Annasfield]

Isn't usually a problem, as normally you can turn up at the TO with the card you paid for them with and your fan card and they reissue them. Can't get through on the phone lines to check they'll do this. (td)

[Keef]

God I'd forgotten about tonight, we should be okay, but need to pick up our form a bit!!!

[Annasfield]

Wooo - just got through to the TO. They said it's not a problem. Phew (Now all we need to do is win :-S)

[Annasfield]

They've arrived :)-D

Now off up to Anfield - watch out for me in the Kop, bottom left hand corner as you look at it. I'll be the girl trying to jump up and down like a mad person if we score. (tu)

[Ladygooner]

Good luck tonight Anna - we are relegated to BBC3 - I'm near the bottom left corner flag:))

[SeanMacGabhann]

how is bbc3 a relegation from ITV1??????

ITV do the very WORST possible football coverage

[Ladygooner]

I only mention it because not everyone can get BBC3 unless they have a digibox thingy

[SeanMacGabhann]

Ooops - good point Lady G!

[Annasfield]

I am done in. THANK GOD for Dirk.

Also can't believe that Gerrard played for 120 mins knowing that he's got to have up to 14 days out for surgery. Mental.

[Keef]

God we were shite last night, if ever there was an example of how much we need wide players it was that game!

I am of course pleased we qualified, but as champions of their own country, I feel really quite sorry for Standard Liege.

[Ladygooner]

Meanwhile I had a much nicer evening. Amusing to hear our fans baiting Steve McClaren with "you f**cked our summer up!"

You and me both Keef. And I say that with no animosity towards 'Pool either.

Makes a good argument for the return of the old style European Cup, not this Chamions League malarky.

Gary Glitter has issued a statement on his release from prison,

" he wishes to go where he will be left in peace, alone, out of

the spotlight and has no intentions of travelling abroad in the

foreseeable future"

West Ham have offered him a 3 year contract.

I am a west ham fan but could not resist

[citizenED]

Keef, you need wide players - maybe Jan Molby or Thomas Brolin?

That was very uncomfortable viewing but at least we got there in the end.

Jan Molby, I wish.
