FA Cup 05/06

WTF. My sky says there is a technical fault and ent showing teh match at the moment.

They've played really well but that pitch is terrible lol. I think they're more used to it which is why they're playing better. That Bardsley shot would've been a great goal had it gone in.

Ronney and Ronaldo on, Rooney is the skipper. Could be a sign for teh future.

On the bright side, Pique looks good.

Yeah Pique was quality today apart from a few errors. Looks like a really good defender but as the commentators said, he needs to improve on upper body strength.

I remember last year or this year you getting knocked out by Doncaster. It's always hard going to a lower league side away especially with teh conditions. They always make it hard for whatever team tehy're playing, I don't remeber seiing a home lower league side getting battered by a Premiership this round.

We'll win at OT definately and maybe field a slightly stronger team, had Park not been injured I think we would have done better. Happy for Burton though, they should be financially secure for the next few years now.

The pitch was bad for both teams but Burton were a lot more used to it than Utd as you saw in teh first half. Then Man U found out a way how to play with the conditions by pumping long balls to Saha whoul should've scored after Ronaldo's great ball.

Duh Duh Duh DUh, Leroy Lita!!!!

What a comeback for Reading and for Lita.

Simon Cox on for Lita *standing ovation*

Rossi. Skins 2 players then plays a delightful chip for Saha who should've scored.

I agree with that. He's not in teh same class as the mEssi's and Rooney ATM but will be quality in teh future. Eto'o is better than RVN but a lot diferent. Eto'o likes to pick up the ball and run at people, RVN is more a hold up ball striker. I've sais this before, no-one can be compared to Ronaldinho ATM, he is in a league of his own. Rooney is a great player though, best young player in the world without a doubt for me,

Everton are currently beating Chelsea with James McFadden goal. Also good to see Reading 1-0 up against Birmingham.

WTF, Rio or Vidic is going to play in the midfield, still playing 3 up front, Rooney, Saha and RVN.

This is the team, dunno about positions:
Van Der Saar, Neville, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Brown, Vidic, Richardson, Park, RVN, Saha and Rooney.

4 centre backs and 3 strikers. Also don't know why Ronaldo isn't even on the bench after returning from his ban.

Alright alright calm down lads.

Don't think it was intentional, his teammate cleared it and it came up and hit his hand.

u see when vidic blocked miller off he was through on goal and clearly jus stood in his way sendin off at least

What? Vidic couldn't even get out of the way, Miller practically charged into him. It was an accident, and a stupid yellow card. There was nothing intentional about it.

A mix of both IMO, he couldn't really get out the way but when you see the replay its clear that he just stands in front of Miller to block him from getting through, although Rio was there so may have got the ball.
