Yeah looks like its a matter of "when" rather than "if". They won't play him due to the fact that it is only maccesfield and that would mean that he is cup-tied.

Row B section G. Not Row 8, miss read the B for an 8.

The only reason Liverpool have accepted it is because of the run of games he is missing. He is only missing for 3 more premier league games. Stoke, Wolves and Bolton ( relatively average-poor teams). He is missing 2 fa cup games and 2 carling cup games. He probably would not have even started some of them. If it had been the other way round and say the ban had been made a month later where he had to miss: Spurs, Everton, Man United, Arsenal, they would have made alot more of a fuss.

Well done on getting them. Yeah it is a shambles. That "virtual waiting room" pisses me off so much. For QPR away was left waiting for an hour.

Yeah best of luck. Yeah also they havn't played in the premier league for a while, so people are eager to go.

Yeah. Would set your alarm for this one mate. They went like wildfire this morning.

Ok cool. Cheers mate. Guess I will head there then.

Got my tickets for this one this morning and have never ben up there before. Was just wondering where everyone is drinking for this one?? Matt

Yeah mate, done a fair few away games, been lane twice before, but last night was best one ever, atmosphere in our end was second to none. And when the goal went in, we went bonkers. Did u go to liverpool street before and get police escort to the ground??

Sorry mate. Our opinions obviously differ. From where i was standing at the game, i couldn't see the incident, so i don't blame the ref. However when i watched it following day on sky, looked a peno to me as well as Souness and Hoddle. Due to the fact that he tried to be fancy with the ball and fucked up, losing control of the ball, then just sticking his hand out. He had the ball under control and then it hit his hand, so it was a peno for me.

I was just saying that it was a peno, thats all. Cole was ball to hand, due to the fact that it clipped van der vart and hit his hand, therefore he was unable to move his hand as it was like a meter away from him. Adebayor's goal was touch and go and a questionable handball. As well as the fact that he made 4 fouls after already having been booked. Although swings and roundabouts i guess.

I wouldn't put the blame entirely with mikel. But i honestly do not know what he was doing for the goal. He just stood there. Also we should have had a peno, when Assou Ekotto handballed it.

Harry Redknapp has a number of injury concerns ahead of the big one against Chelsea on Thursday night. Aaron Lennon is out with the hamstring injury he picked up against Sunderland on Sunday and Harry described Gareth Bale as ‘very doubtful’ with his ankle sprain. Jermain Defoe and Ledley King are also doubts and the manager reported that Emmanuel Adebayor didn’t train on Wednesday with a foot injury, although he was more confident of the striker making it against the Blues. Good news sees Younes Kaboul available again after a one-match suspension. “Gareth’s struggling at the moment,” reported Harry on Wednesday. “He hasn’t been able to train. He’s very doubtful. “It normally takes six or seven days for Ledley’s knee to go down, so we’ll have to wait and see how it is today and tomorrow. He’ll be 50-50 at best I would imagine. “Jermain, again, has a bit of a hamstring. He thinks he’s got a chance, but the physio isn’t keen on him taking a chance. “Ade’s got a foot problem, we’ll see how he is. He can’t train today, but we’re hopeful. He doesn’t miss too many games. “Azza’s got a hamstring injury, but he shouldn’t be too long. It’s only a minor tear. He could be fit in a couple of weeks."

Would be amazing to beat the yids at the lane given that they are currently 2 puts ahead, with a game in hand. Although think that this is a must not lose, as going 5 points behind having played a game more would be a disaster. Howard Webb is the referee for this game.

I find it hard to see how a team that is favourites to win the title and is five points clear at the top of the league, are there purely because their goals have come from "fortunate circumstances". If they played the arsenal team lehmann was in, I'd still back city to them.

I reckon that is a brilliant draw for us. Means that one less big team to play as city or united will defo go out. Also dont reckon arsenal will exactly sail through either, as leeds are not a bad team. They will also take the full allocation of 9,000 fans to the emirates as they did last season.

Couldnt agree with you more. I watched whole game on sky and whenever he got into the box, you basically knew he was gonna shoot even when there were other options. Drogba got annoyed at one point. Yeah would agree with the point that he needs to be more clinical.

I agree. Drogba was awful. And tbh his goal was a free header when newcastle when to sleep from a throw in. Other than that i thought he was crap. Torres was alright when he came on, I just think that he is low on confidence/ lacks match practice so he was scared to shoot.

Great analysis.

Have they sold all 7,000 already?? Tbh, i think he is bluffing and just having a moan. If only one scouser turned up would he applaud the fans and say thanks for not supporting us and doing what i said? Dont think so. He knows that game will probably be a sell out and that it is the competition that they have the best chance of winning and one of the only 2 that they have any chance of winning. He has put out a strong team in all previous rounds so see no different here, plus they havnt got a game till the monday after. So in the big picture 3 games in 8 days.

Not to mention that both liverpool play on sunday as well. Saw it as a dead cert that we would be on TV.

If you purchase them on using my membership then you wont get any loyalty points. However you will be able to purchase them on monday a week earlier.

However it also means that we are NOT on sky. ( arsenal v man city is instead).

Brilliant. Means we get a days extra rest before the weekend. Also means the scousers play City on sunday and us on tuesday. LOL.
