Dunn is pure rubbish tho. >_>

As I said, for us thats pretty much a B team. Arsenal can rotate 25 players pretty much and still come out with very strong sides. We cant so we opted to play defensive as fuck and maybe get a goal or take the replay. Not pretty or fun, but best shot we had at the game and we took it. Sorry if it means an extra game or we prevented you from playing.

They can rotate 25 generic French identikit players

Well done to Reading though. I forgot half of my fantasy footy teams are Man Utd players and was chearing them southern lads on! Hurrah!

I have absolutely no faith in Spurs going to Fulham and getting anything other than tonked though :ohwell:

But...but we only have eight French players left :'(

[Farmer Reil]

Yeah, get the fuck in!

Bye bye Derby. Clearly you didn't pay Mr. Dean as much as you paid Mr. D'Urso...

Performance of the round goes to Tottenham for me, thoroughly professional and a good job, some pretty good goals too.

Thatwas a much better performance then the shite we've seen recently. Looked more like the team that beat Chelsea then the shite we sent out a couple of week back to play the Gooners.

Excellent. Was out playing footy this afternoon so only heard the result. Gotta watch MOTD tonight and will thoroughly enjoy it - Keane cos he's a legend of the highest order, and Berbatov cos he's in my fantasy team! Now, onto the quarters and Blackburn at home

[Sir Alan LCSugar]

Be prepared for some defensive tactics if thats the case. Keanes goals were pure class though.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I read on the Spurs website and they sounded good so will look forward to them. Blackburn don't have to play as defensively agaisnt us

I was absolutely gutted by the performance yesterday. I think 4-0 was a bit flattering in some aspects, but it wasn't in others. Basically, it was a game of margins, and we had chances, Spurs had chances, but with the quality of Keane and Berbatov, you were always going to take yours, while we just lacked any decisiveness in all honesty.

I didn't see it properly, but I thought Montella's sending off was a little harsh, though perhaps by the letter of the law.

Arse.

[TheArsenal]

Arse.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Lets be honest, the dream final four as far as first FA Cup back at Wembley would have been Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd and Spurs.

Still, gotta beat the best to win the cup, and it'll be televised.

[R.W.]

Arse.

nal got a decent draw. Shame about yours.

You're not through yet :-p

[lanky316]

Woiuld've preffered a home draw for a chance... I'm worried Jol may be more negative when people know the way to do Chelsea is to attack

[Buford Ripley]

Not a good day to be a Reading fan. >_>

[Thomas]

Why is Saha ALWAYS offside? Or at least 9 times out of 10.

[ONO]

This is a joy to watch.

[Summers]

I hope United demolish them, in humiliating fashion.

[Thomas]

This is a joy to watch.

As long as Mikael Silvestre is on the pitch, Reading are in with a chance.

[Big Red Fury]

Even my roommate who is an avid Man U fan said that he thought outside of the first ten minutes that Reading were all over the Red Devils. I'm about 95% positive that Solskjaer was offside on the third goal.
