The FA Cup 2008/9

81 mins

Derby 1 - 4 Man U.

Welbeck for United.

Savage substituted for Pearson.

[johntheclaret]

All over at pride park.

Derby 1 - 4 Man U.

Derby huffed and puffed but Utd's class was way too good. I guess a 4-1 score line is better than could have been expected after Utd made it 3-0 with only 48 mins gone and Derby must be applauded for showing great reolve in holding Utd to one more goal, with a score for themselves too.

In the meantime, Everton has knocked villa out and are one of only 3 sides that go into the qtr final draw as round 5 winners.

[johntheclaret]

btw Everton beat Villa 3 - 1 with Tim Cahill scoring the third.

from what i heard Derby were pretty good in the 2nd half

at least they managed a goal, something other teams have struggled to do this season and they applied pressure in the 2nd half looking dangerous

[johntheclaret]

Qtr Final Draw.

b4st4rds or Coventry v Chavski
Swansea or Fulham v Man Utd
Cardiff / Arsenal or Burnley v Sheff Utd or Hull
Everton v West Ham or Boro.

So there it is fella's Simple

That's what i was saying MT. I thought they showed great resolve to hold Man U and them get a score themselves.

They had a real go at it but to come from 3 down against Utd was always going to be a big call.

Ronaldo was his petulant self.

there's no way Arsenal are going to make it Bully. they have to get past Cardiff tonight and then face the mighty Clarets. that's the same clarets that dumped them out of the Carling Cup.

4th Rnd Replay

Arsenal 1 - 0 Cardiff

Eduardo marks his return to the Arsenal line up with a headed goal after 20 mins

To quote sky..........."It's not that Cardiff are playing that badly, but The Gunners are at their blistering best."

[johntheclaret]

Bendtnar makes it 2 - 0 after 34 minutes.

Arsenal 2 - 0 Cardiff.

Starting to look like a long week end in the capital for me and Mrs JTC.

[RoosterMarty]

3-0 now. Eduardo with his second.

[Dirko]

4 nil, van Persie in the 89th.

All over.

[RoosterMarty]

Gives the Bluebirds a chance to concentrate on the league now.

[johntheclaret]

Unlucky that Marty. Arsenal were on form that night. Good to see Eduardo making a full recovery and getting back into the groove.

Arsenal v Burnley is on 8th March. I have my tickets, booked the flights and hotel. All systems go.

Yep, sure is and I can't wait. Been to WHL, Stamford Bridge already this year so can't wait to see the Emirates.

going down on Sat 7th and staying until Wed 11th. Mrrs JTC booked the flights, hotel and arranged the tickets. We are coming back on the 11th so we can go to see the Clarets play Crystal Palace on the 10th.....................................

Only problem is that Burnley are playing Palace on the 11th and to top it off, we are playing at Turf Moor BURNLEY

So we are stuck with flights that we can't change and I'm not sure the flight time back will give us enough time to get to the match on the 11th.

Moral of this tale? don't let your bloody wife organise a football trip

well the way we are playing lately, all your mob has to do is score and you will win. Last time we scored in the league was against Hull city from memory. mind you we did put 4 past cardiff in FA cup so who knows ?
