The FA Cup Thread 2013/14

[Lineker]

We would have been playing Coventry at home if we had won yesterday. Ah well, we played them last year.

Derby or Chelsea vs. Stoke

Blackburn/Man City vs. Bristol City/Watford

Bournemouth/Burton vs. Liverpool/Oldham

Birmingham/Bristol Rovers/Crawley vs. Man Utd/Swansea

Sheffield Utd vs. Nowrich/Fulham

Martin Kelly playing against a team that's about his level today!

[Nerf]

Can't be any worse than Glen Johnson has been.

[Colly]

How in the world is that a corner? Grant catches it, Eto'o pushes him off the pitch. Bizarre.

[Hobo]

Can't be any worse than Glen Johnson has been.

At least Johnson's hamstring isn't likely to explode at any moment.

Captain Steven Gerrard makes a first start for Liverpool since he injured his hamstring at the beginning of December. Brendan Rodgers makes six changes to the team which beat Hull with Lucas, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho on the substitutes' bench.

Liverpool XI: Jones, Kelly, Cissokho, Toure, Agger, Gerrard, Henderson, Alberto, Sterling, Moses, Aspas

Anton Rodgers, son of Liverpool boss Brendan, is on the bench for Oldham. The League One side make two changes, with Danny Philliskirk and James Wesolowski the fresh faces.

Oldham XI: Oxley, Grounds, Wesolowski, Kusunga, Tarkowski, Smith, Rooney, Mellor, Clarke-Harris, Petrasso, Philliskirk.

Sunderland take the lead against Carlisle...

[Colly]

Carlisle equalise. Ace derby!

[Summers]

Having not long got in, WTF happened to West Ham?!

[Colly]

They're shit.

[Summers]

Explains it.

[Liam]

Put out a weakened team, got tonked.

[Colly]

His interview was brilliant. 'Everyone else puts out a weak team'. Yes Sam, but they also tend not to get spanked 5-0 by lower league opposition.

[Adam]

If we'd won yesterday we'd be at home to Everton in Round 4 :bang:

I'm not even surprised that West Ham got annihilated. Their team was never going to match Forest's. I expect a lot of players were rested for midweek in addition to the injuries.

[Lineker]

Rio Ferdinand starts his first game for Manchester United since 10 December.

Man Utd XI: Lindegaard; Smalling, Evans, Ferdinand, Büttner; Valencia, Fletcher, Cleverley, Kagawa; Welbeck, Hernandez.

Five changes for Swansea from the side which lost to Manchester City on New Year's Day, with usual captain Ashley Williams on the bench. Leon Britton returns to midfield.

Swansea XI: Tremmel, Tiendalli, Amat, Chico Flores, Taylor, Britton ©, de Guzman, Shelvey, Pozuelo, Routledge, Bony.

[Baddar]

What's United's bench like?

[Lineker]

Shit probably.

[Lineker]

a Mikel goal!

[Baddar]

Mikel (yup, Mikel), puts Chelsea in front.
