You're an idiot.

[Liam]

Seriously though, there is the potential that the whole 'Yanks out' thing is being used as an excuse, when Liverpool as a whole (players and manager) just aren't cutting it at the moment.

[therockbox]

You do realise that the major issue we have with Hicks and Gillette isn't because we've been playing poorly, don't you?

[Liam]

I get that, but it seems to flare up everytime Liverpool are a let down on the pitch.

And there was Liverpool players blaming poor performances on club uncertainty, which I can see to a point, but players with the ability of Gerrard (who was one of the ones who has made a comment) should just get on with it.

David James~~~

[Lord Nibbler]

David James has saved Pompey twice. The non-Prem clubs are giving a good account of themselves in the FA Cup this year. The 6th round could potentially have only two clubs from the top flight.

[The Third Dukes]

Eh, we acquitted ourselves just fine against Chelski. Even if it was a lesser side, we showed we're no pushovers.

Go Rovers! Keep the League One dream alive!

[Baddar]

Full draw for FA Cup quarter-finals:

Sheffield United or Middlesbrough v Cardiff City

Manchester United v Portsmouth

Bristol Rovers v West Brom

Barnsley v Chelsea

Matches to be played on the weekend of 8 and 9 March.

I'll take that.

Portsmouth aren't easy on paper, but i fancy us to beat them 2 or 3-0.

And I hope Barnsley knock out Chelsea, too.

[brenchill]

I'm glad Bristol were drawn against West Brom in the quarters instead of Man Utd or Chelsea, I can't stand West Brom, so I hope Bristol make it to the semi's. Good draw for Barnsley from a financial prospective I suppose, especially at home.

Ah well, Rovers & Barnsley, you had good runs. See ya next year. Baggies FTW.

[britneyspearsisgod]

It was 3-3 in the pre-season friendly this year and we can do it again, sunshine

Maybe even better

[Hobo]

Barnsley get the match that Liverpool generally always get. Somewhat ironic.

I wanted to draw City in the quarters... oh, wait

But seriously, West Brom is one of the worst draws possible for us. A tie we're not likely to win (unlike Boro (let's face it, Boro fucking suck, and it would've been nice to beat the team that knocked out City, then failed to beat a team in the bottom half of the Championship ¬_¬), or Barnsley, the whipping boys of the round ¬_¬), or a team we'll be going out with a blaze of glory against like United or Chelsea. No, a team we'll lose 1-0 against via a 90th minute undeserved penalty .

But still, it's at the Mem, so... any Rovers players got a birthday on March 8th? Hinton's is in November, bastard.

Edit: Hah, Lewis Haldane's is on the 13th. Let's pray for a waterlogged pitch to delay the game a few days...

I don't envision it will be easy to play them, by any means. However, I do think if we can keep our solid display like we showed against Fulham at Craven Cottage (abeit with the 2-2 scoreline), then I'm confident we might be able to squeeze out a result. And even if we don't? Well, it's a great run and we earned a good share of cash from it all, something that will help us out a tremendous amount for next season.

[Gazz]

Wounder for Paddy Kenny.

[alldaws1]

Oh, that's one of the best own goals ever. Well done Paddy.

[Farmer Reil]

It brought some entertainment at least. That was the most dire 'match' I've ever, ever watched

[Crybaby Bunting]

Penalty to Pompey!!!

Kuzack's been sent off, and because he subbed VDS earlier Ferdinand is now the goalkeeper for the remainder of the match

This Is Awesome

AND IT'S A GOAL!!!
