It's almost 5 games actually, considering he was sent off in the 12th minute of the game.

Aye very true. Joke.

Wrexham v Brighton match on ESPN and S4C tonight if anyone wants to size up our next opponents in the cup.

I'll be too busy wanking over Madrid v Barca

Come on Wrexham. Would love a shot at the Cup this year. So long as we can keep in it til the ACN is over...who knows?

I'm watching the Wrexham v Brighton game on S4C I think it's going to have to go onto mute or change the channel!!

Wrexham 1-0

Not as bad as listening to Chris Waddle on ESPN though.

True, not as bad as listening to Ray Wilkins on Sunday either even if I can't understand a bloody word!

It is getting to a point where I think I may have to watch all football on TV on mute.

Penalties

Not sure who I want to win, obviously Wrexham should be the much weaker team but I don't think Newcastle deal with small teams very well and I think it could be a very tricky game at their place.

Brighton it is in the next round, some well taken penalties from them to take it 5-4

Brighton it is. Gay capital of the world, so Guesty can take his new manbag there and show it off a bit.

Staggering level of cheating going on in this derby as usual.

Barca Real has to be the most overrated fixture of all time.

Sure, some great football can be played in this game but I hate all the bullshit that we see with it.

All the diving, jeering, surrounding refs etc.

To be fair it was ok for about an hour, it just gets to a point where Madrid realise they cant win so the teddy goes out.

To go with your new bag mate.

I watched about five minutes, saw Barca equalize and then there were a few fouls including one *by* a Barca player who then waved an imaginary card in the face of the ref to say not only should it have been a foul the other way round but it should have been a yellow too. Annoying.

I remember the times when the only live football on TV was shitty FA Cup ties on ITV so to be able to watch a live El Classico match on a Wednesday night in January is nothing short of sensational. And in stunning HD on a 40" LED, with home cinema surround and sometimes even in 3D

Some of you lot don't know your'e born

As for the football, it was typical Barcelona. They recovered from the early goal to get a stranglehold on the game with Iniesta and to a lesser degree, Xavi running the show. And yes, once Barcelona equalised the Madrid antics got worse with Pepe being the main culprit. Expect him to be in big bother for cowardly stamping on Messi's hand. Madrid just sat back and couldn't even hold onto the ball for more than two passes for the whole second half.

Barcelona owned them with 70% possession.

Purrrrrfect!

Is this Bramble's next club?

Lee Ryder: #nufc AP: "Colo has a knock" ahead of Brighton

Whats he knocked himself on, a fucking sun lounger in Tenerife?!

I have no interest in what professor Fabricio gets up to in his masturbatorium. I just hope this was a comment and not a caption.

Cracking game on ESPN righht now, Tottenham winning 1-0 but with the way the game's gone, you would'nt have thought it, Watford have dominated throughout

How has Mariappa played?

Cant really make any judgement tonite because Watford spent nearly all the game in the Spurs half, Tottenham were god awful, cannot believe they won that

Half time, Arsenal 0-2 Villa

Richard Dunne goal from a Robbie Keane assist.

I thought you didn't like Robbie?

Not particularly but it's good to see him in form.

Just over an hour gone and it's 3-2 to Arsenal now.

Eh?

Erm, well Arsenal scored three times at the start of the half...

Wow. Good to see Richard Dunne in form

Revised 5th Round draw and live games picked

1. Chelsea ........ v ........ Birmingham City (Sat Feb 18th, Midday, ESPN)
2. Everton ........ v ........ Blackpool
3. Norwich City ........ v ........ Leicester City
4. Millwall ........ v ........ Bolton Wanderers
5. Sunderland ........ v ........ Arsenal (Sat Feb 18th, 5:15pm, ITV1)
6. Crawley Town ........ v ........ Stoke City (Sun Feb 19th, Midday, ESPN)
7. Stevenage ........ v ........ Tottenham Hotspur (Sun Feb 19th, 2pm, ITV1)
8. Liverpool ........ v ........ Brihton & Hove Albion (Sun Feb 19th, 4:30pm, ESPN)

NUFC young guns into the FA Youth Cup qtr finals. JJ Hooper & Adam Campbell in the goals, and both good young players. Remie Streete and Steven Logan also featured in the 2-1 win (AET) vs QPR. Home to Blackburn next.

Arsenal losing to the mackems. What they need is an English manager and an English team. Winterburn, Adams, Bould and Dixon. Such a better defence than the one Wenger has built.

I think their problem is that they've been outmuscled by their competitors at the top of the premier league, both physically and financially. Having an English manager wouldn't make a difference to that.

Yeah you're right, but maybe it's time for a change. Wenger hasn't won anything for the last 8 or so years.

I think Chelsea will get eliminated too by Birmingham, leaving only Liverpool and Tottenham as serious contenders for the cup. If Liverpool win both the League and the FA Cup and we finish behind them at 7th, will we qualify for Europe?
