Sadly they didn't win but they lost by 1 goal which is respectable. They'll be going home happy that they shut United out and only conceded one goal.

Everton beat Chelsea too which I'm glad about as I don't want to see Torres's hand on the F.A. Cup.

Ffs! Upson is out injured for the rest of the season! On a good note, it means Scott Parker is now captain.:thumbup

so prague fans throw a smoke bomb that stop the game and nothing is done,a few united fans light flares and they get investigated

 

[TGLucario475]

As much as I hate Manchester United, I think even something like that isn't right. Sure flares are a common place in certain countries but as we seen last week it can cause disruption to a match.

I don't think flare usage and smoke bombs etc should ever be condoned. They have been known to cause trouble in the past but the punishment should always be the same regardless of Country.

Good night of football ahead, Mallorca vs Barcelona about to kick off while Deportivo play Real Madrid at 9pm. Barca are kinda weakened with no Xavi, Puyol, Alves and Valdes. Though Pinto is an adequate replacement for Valdes. I would expect two away wins here.

nice to take a point off the leicester inbreds

1/2 I got, Barcelona won comfortably 3-0 at Mallorca, Messi, Villa and Pedro with the goals. Real drew away at Deportivo 0-0.

The Liverpool game kicks off in three quarters of an hour. Not expecting to get much out of it other than get spanked but I live in hope.

 

[Springsteen]

Matthew Upson looks good for someone who is meant to be out for the season lol.

I expect a Liverpool win here though.

after west hams recent upturn in form, and how poor liverpool looked in their last games against a very very mediocre sparta prague, i wouldn't be surprised if west ham get something

 

[Springsteen]

1-0 West Ham, Scott Parker, good goal too.

 

[Zorak]

2-1 now.

Johnson pulls one back after some terrible west ham defending, but some magic too from suarez for the assist

 

[Zorak]

but cole wins it for west ham.

liverpool haven't been able to deal with their arial prescence all day, they are missing kyriagos

 

[Springsteen]

Deserved win for West Ham.

today should be arsenals first trophy of the year.....to go alongside the premiership title they'll pick up in may

 

[Springsteen]

We'll see, the challenge for the Title is much more difficult considering our much better form. Arsenal's benefit is their easier run in, but we know how to beat them, especially at The Emirates.

 

[Zorak]

.....to go alongside the premiership title they'll pick up in may

I'd love that to be the case, but I can't see it happening

 

[Peter Parka]

What a win! COYI!!!
