World Football Thread XIX: Capello to the Rescue!

[Maquiladora]

I'd rather a **** team like Tottenham lose like the crap that they are than a plucky team like Burnley have their heartsbroken after playing a proper cup match. Man Utd are going to beat Spurs anyway so it wouldn't matter if you won.

Get over it already. It's not Spurs fault Burnley threw it away.

[Cort Haus]

Burnley threw it away? More like Spuss fished it out of the bin after they'd thrown it away.

[MOBIUS]

Hey Cort, you making the trip down the M4 to see Arsenal get dumped out of the FA Cup?

Will you be seeing the replay then...?

I've just heard the latest version of Fraser Digby's washbag on Danny Baker's show on 5Live, and would like to link its genius to all 'poly readers (who can access it - not sure if it's available outside the UK ).

(may take some time to update to this evening's show)

Works fine for me. Not a fan of Danny Baker though.

Well I wasn't, not least for having played some part in Gazza's tragic downfall, but the radio show is excellent.

Mobius, funny moment on Saturday - after a brief round of "Stand up if you hate Tottenham" from us, your lot came back with "We hate Tottenham more than you!"

Pompey actually joined in with the SUIYHT and applauded us - after their recent history from the Spurs fans.

It's gonna be bloody freezing on Tuesday night for the Cardiff replay. Possibly interesting in the capital as Swansea are playing someone like QPR. Extra plods at Paddington I expect.

So Keane goes back, Wigan break their transfer record, and something happens with Arshavin, but no-one seems to know what yet.

[Cort Haus]

Arshavin is on. It's off. It's on. It's off. It's on. (repeat till fade)

[Krill]

Point and laugh at Liverpool...

[Maquiladora]

So Keane goes back

Keane is quality, not Torres quality, but still a very good PL player.

Benitez has messed Keane around to prove a point. I hope this comes back to bite Benitez on his tapas-serving behind.

And us and Pompey have even more to hate about the Scum since 'Arry (and Defoe) moved there...

Called off now because you English can't handle a few snowflakes...

Talking of hatred, I bet they'll change the fixtures so that Swansea and Cardiff aren't in the capital on the same day.

[*End Is Forever*]

I was talking to a Police Officer friend about this the other day. Not only were Cardiff and Swansea both in the capital, but Leeds were scheduled to play at Orient and Millwall were at home as well. Fortunately the weather intervened and all four games were called off, but I'm surprised the police didn't object especially to having Swansea and Cardiff fans pile onto the last two trains back to South Wales...
