Yes, it was definitely a red card. Good win in the end, but Spurs created a decent amount of chances.

And lol, City just conceded because of a balloon

[FireDoughnut]

Arsenal it is... Predictable.

Fifth round fixtures:

Bristol Rovers v Southampton

Cardiff City v Wolves

Sheffield United v Middlesbrough

Liverpool v Barnsley

Manchester United v Arsenal

Preston v Portsmouth

The ties are scheduled to take place on 16 and 17 February.

Chelsea typically have an easy home tie again.

There aren't many Premier League teams left and we draw away to Man United. Ah well, will make for another good game if nothing else and takes one of the big four out of the equation. I'd say there's a decent chance for a smaller team to make it to the final this year.

I'm glad that at least 2 of the big 4 are meeting, makes it more interesting for some of the lesser teams.

Chelsea away? Bring it on. Or at leasy, pay us in advance.

Seriously, though, I'm thrilled we made the Last 16, and I hope we can put in a great showing against Chelsea. For a club that was threatened with dissolution earlier this decade -- this is a wonderful turnaround.

Fuck off Rovers :@

KUYT

Brilliant work by Babel on the left and a good finish.

[Lord Nibbler]

Benitez HAS to go, surely?

[The Kraig]

Barnsley for the cup!

And Benitez has had to go for a long time.

[9 to 5]

Ahahaha, ul Liverpool.

[Pesci]

FUCK OFF BARNSLEY :@

[Renegade]

What the hell at John Motson's glasses...

[Dan]

Bwaha.

I just hope people will start to realise that Benitez is shit at managing.

He doesn't care for anything outside of the champions league.

[therockbox]

Oh yeah, because the Premiership is the only league in the world.

[Dan]

What?

[therockbox]

You said he only cares about the CL, which quite clearly isn't true.

And to say he is "shit at managing" shows how little you know. His record at Liverpool in the time he's been here is better than Arsenal's.

[Dan]

He rests players for every competition apart from the champions league.

Rockbox climbing on his high horse over his beloved Rafa - never.

I suppose it's the fault of the owners and not Benitez resting key players (the two match winners you have) yet again that you lost.
