don't know kpc, but surely tis a blatant case of bringing the game into disrepute

[Jah Lush]

Either way Leeds can count themselves a little unlucky to come away from the Emirates with only a draw. Having watched it on TV yesterday afternoon I was impressed with the way they played. On current form they've got to be a must for promotion this year.

[ratty]

Agreed! Reckon they are on their way back!

By being honest?

Read these yeasterday, and thought they were both fair and honest views on the Liverpool / Woy thing.

Phil McNulty Blog

Lawro's column

Think they both highlight where Woy failed, but also where he was let down. Seem fair, and pretty much sum up my feelings on it.

Anyway, all over nw, and lets hope Kenny lives up to the status that he is given at Liverpool. I just hope this isn't similar t "King Kev's" return to Newcastle...

Was at the Emirates yesterday with Sean McG and BellendenBelle.

Firstly, it's easily the best stadium I've ever been to. The views, even from our slightly odd corner position were phenomenal and for mid-Jan the pitch was in superb condition. Arsenal fans were friendly enough but the stereotype of being a bit on the quiet side is indeed true - the atmosphere is a little "subdued" when they aren't playing well.

Leeds played as equals except for the last ten minutes of each half when we were under the cosh. I've seen Leeds play better recently but for the most part, Arsenal were abject. None of their players seem to want it.

A draw was probably a fair result all-in-all and I went away happy if a little deflated that we so nearly had another Premier League scalp for the second season running. Walcott let himself down although I missed the dive itself. Arshavin had a shocker and was on the receiving end of a hell of a lot of abuse from his own fans. The Leeds travelling fans made a LOT of noise as usual. We'll look forward to the replay at Elland Road.

U boat spotted at Old Stratford, dive dive dive.

[Emerson Crane]

Only at Old Stratford eh??? What a farce!!! I hope, against expectation, the mancs lose.

[Bluerevolution]

with Howard Webb playing for ManUre, Liverpool didn't stand a cat in hells chance from the off

[SeanMacGabhann]

So will berbatov do a Theo and admit it? Unlikely

But gerrard was a straight red for a shocking tackle

None of this is kennys fault btw but you don't need to possess a vivid imagination to paint a picture if Roy was still in charge and these events were playing out in the same way.

Not as many as Rooney, Berbatov ,Nani and previously Forlan, Van Nistleroy, the fake Ronaldo. And they have the neck to point the finger at others.

[Emerson Crane]

Any danger of Manc staying on their feet in penalty box. Jeez

[Emerson Crane]

Allardyce saying Stevie G deserved a red. Nothing to do with being a Ferguson butt kisser.

[kpc]

He did!

[kpc]

Not many stand out ties in 4th round. Southampton v ManU has echoes of the 1976 final; Everton v Chelsea looks the most interesting of the all-PL games and Fulham can try and get revenge on Spurs for last year's QF (talking of revenge, have West Ham and Forest met in the Cup since the 1991 semi?).

Happy with Coventry at home - should see us through to 5th round.

I've seen tackles like that, week in week out, commited by all clubs, most go unpunished or get a yellow card. This one was old traffordish. Had a similar taclkle been made by Carrick on Stevie G he wouldn't have walked.

[Sandperson]

*yawn*

Are you a little sore that Arsenal couldn't get a result yesterday?

If we are going to talk diving there's a long tradition of it from your boys. :)

I thought United played well today. It was a bit of a dull game, which was a shame, but it could have been a banana skin what with Kenny's return etc. Glad to have got it out of the way.

[Keef]

I think Liverpool can walk away with heads held high.

Yes the keeper had to make some good saves, but we made a few chances with 10 men, and were only beated by a feckin soft penalty!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I thought your keeper was brilliant - five rapid saves in about 10 seconds.

[Annasfield]

A fair result today would have been 10 against 10 and 0-0.

[ratty]

Cough Pires Cough

Who else do you think should have been sent off then Anna? I don't remember anything remotely like another s/o offence.

United played well? Really? What game were you watching? As for a long tradition don't make me laugh. Pires maybe, thats about it. The Manc list is a yard long. Same onld Mnacs, old traffordish decisons yet again. Like I said had Carrick felled Stevie G in a similar mannner, he wouldn't have walked. And your yawn is as boring as watching your team, and yep, you've biten once again.
