If all the big teams progress, the next round of fixtures will be tasty. As always City will get New castle at home but rest will have tough opponents.

How are Portsmouth doing these days?

Pretty well, they're 3rd in League One, in whatever the name of the League 1 & 2 trophy is (vs. Salford) and recently went on a pretty long winning streak.

My boss is a big Portsmouth fan so I get weekly briefs on their goings on... he fancies their chances tonight.

I think that the Tottenham and Newcastle games are also available to watch through Iplayer.

I love when we get a week of games everyday.

No way Newcastle are beating West Brom away.

So then make that CIty home against wba.

Oh that's good, the last i heard of them they were having a lot of money problems and weren't doing well on the pitch.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Arsenal mostly playing a second string tonight. Be hilarious if they lose.

Portsmouth also resting players though

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Think it is Ian Darke who is commentating tonight, they had his son on Talksport earlier and his dad is a big Portsmouth fan.

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

No Aubameyang for Arenal it seems. Risky for them. If they get knocked out it will be a disaster season for them.

 

[Shane88]

If Chelsea kill Liverpool's treble chances tomorrow I'll breath a big sigh of relief.

C'mon you blue bastards.

no replays this round so you’ve gotta call a winner

 

[Pexbo]

90 minutes.

Chelsea, City, Birmingham if I have to.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Look like Torreira has fractured his ankle. Absolute agony there.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Torreira injured

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Torreira being carried off on a stretcher.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Ceballos on.

 

[Antisocial]

Just switched-on, how did he get injured?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

A hard challenge, won the ball but cleaned him out as well.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Their Ceballos chant is weird, how do they know he eats Paellla?

 

[always_hoping]

Why are Arsenal playing a 2nd string team? I could understand it if they were still in the Europa league

 

[2 man midfield]

"That's Mike Dein for you"

 

[pascell]

Their Ceballos chant is weird, how do they know he eats Paellla?

How did we know Herrera drank Estrella from the cask?

 

[FootyGirl88]

Mike Dean

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Maybe they think there is another European cup they will drop down into.

 

[Antisocial]

Thanks!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Sokratis scores for Arsenal.

 

[FootyGirl88]

A lot of huffing and puffing from Portsmouth but not much end product

 

[Yagami]

Their Ceballos chant is weird, how do they know he eats Paellla?

I mean, we chanted about Park eating dogs, sooo...

(Technically, it wasn't aimed directly at Park but more so a generalisation of his country, but still)

He’s refereeing the Manchester derby..

He will probably give us a pen and then book Fernandes for hopping before he kicks it

”WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!”

”What the hop?”

”YES”

”It’s just what I do before I shoot”

”ITS FABULOUS CAN YOU SHOW ME AFTER THE GAME PLEASE I THINK I CAN USE IT FOR YELLOW CARDS”

 

[Shane88]

Dean has no place at any level of refereeing and it has nothing to do with decision-making.

He seems to think that he is a character/personality in matches also. He's very well aware of how many cameras are on him and he plays up to it.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Portsmouth fans are enjoying themselves anyway.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Commentator surprised the F.A. Cup matches are being played midweek, well the winter break will have caused that. Also most of the other leagues play their cup matches midweek.

 

[awop]

Why not ? There is more chances to get fifth in the league than winning the FA Cup imo. I think City will try to win it once they go out of the CL.
