Blackburn, Portsmouth or United at home for me. Semi finals will be tough whoever we get if we get there as the pressure, intensity and first teamers usually start to emerge at other clubs and the younger player find it hard to cope.
Possibly, though normally when a talented player has a rough time at a club its hard to recover.

Cesc got up first. But, Arshavin beat him with longer celebration. Must say that Cesc has good reflexes. He got up first in his row for both the goals.

Clichy was too lazy to stand up
Anyways, half watching and half studying, that was a great match to watch. Lots of nice moves (better than the boring idiots on the first team can do) but they got the result and that's what matters. Merida was out of this world btw. We better sign him on a long term contract. It was GREAT to see Nasri back too.

Blackburn at home is what I want. Any chance to embarrass Fat Sam further than he already does every week, cannot be wasted.
Last week he was blasting Trapattoni for saying Steven Reid is never fit.
He said he "insulted his medical staff and the club" and demanded an apology.
Hold the phone you fat ****, Trapattoni is one of the most successful managers football has ever had and you think you can just belittle him for no reason at all... :roll:
That man is the most despicable manager I have ever seen. His antics against us over the years and his little plans of action to help Ferguson ever year, sum him up as a manager and a man.
So long story short - I detest Big Sam - I want to hammer them in the CC

I don't want Blackburn. There is a chance that we can contract swine flu from them. Actually, I'd be happy with any draw as long as it is at home and it isn't Chelsea.

I seriously doubt we would get swine flu. I'm sure there are procedures to stop such a thing happening.

Some of the passing moves were brilliant. For instance, in the build up to our second goal, we won the ball in our penalty area I think and kept holding the possession, even when our initial counter attack cam to naught till we finally scored.
There was another move starting in the right side from Bendtner or Gilbert and lots of great passes later, it ended up with Merida getting into a promising position and Skrtel clearing out the ball.
We strung six or seven passes together a number of times before Liverpool could come close to getting the possession.
However, on a number of occasions we tried to pass the ball in our penalty area and almost ended up giving away possession.

The interplays and passing moves. Slight overreaction but you get the point

Well yeah, I guess Benitez looks at it that way at least. It would certainly explain a thing or two.dbig said:

Is he out-of-here if he doesn't win in Lyon next week? I don't think so.

There are a lot of teams I'd like us to avoid in this draw. Preferably, facing Blackburn would be best, as it's the most winnable and leaves all the tough competitors drawing each other.
The main two that worry me are City and Chelsea. They'll field their best possible teams, and both have a pair of ****s I can't stand the sight of (Adebaywhore and Cashley).

Haven't seen any of this as yet but have it taped.
Really glad for the youngsters & hopefully we'll see more of them yet.
As for this only being the CCup v a LFC 2nd team - ANY time you get to beat a rival under ANY circumstances is GOOD - particularly when they've just come off a much needed BIG result in the PL.

Am I the only one who stills gets annoyed when Sky Sports says things like 'Young Guns see off Liverpool'.
Half the team are experienced first teamers!
Fabianski - 24
Gilbert - 21
Senderos - 24
Silvestre - 32
Gibbs - 20
Eastmond - 18
Merida - 19
Ramsey - 18
Nasri - 22
Bendtner - 21
Eduardo - 26
Whilst yes, the average age was 22, which is still young, it's not the same as last season when the average age was something like 19, when all the media was jizzing over us. Only 3 in the team were teenagers!
