F.A Cup 4th Round - away meltdown at Arsenal

[Stu]

I know it's long in the past but I still get angry about this one. The Henry/Halsey free kick routine was one of the worst things of witnessed on a football field. 

Marcus Allback was quoted after the game as saying that Halsey had asked him to ''get back 10 yards and wait for my whistle.''  So while they were getting the wall together Henry literally took his shot around Halsey without a whistle and the goal was allowed.

Fecking disgraceful and i've disliked Halsey ever since.  One of the most incompetent going around imo (and there's plenty of competition).

Can you imagine the stink Wenger and Fleet St would have made of it had this happened to them.

It's even worse than that because Halsey is laughing and joking with the Arsenal players and then signals to say, go on the you can shoot now. bastards

Have to say I think the Henry/Halsey thing is horrendous, the Henry hand ball thing is no more than a player taking full advantage in a spontaneous almost instinctive way, yes he cheated, and there was still a lot to do afterwards, if a player was playing for me with the World Cup at stake didn't do the same thing and give is all I'd friggin lynch him.

The Halsey/Henry thing is almost evil, there you have a ref working to give every possible advantage to the player to get that ball in the net, and then stands there laughing.

Beyond belief.

And lets not forget the penalty he awarded to Fulham against Arsenal, the Arsenal players surrounded him complaining and he changed his mind.

The bloke is a complete ******.

Liverpool v Man U is Saturday 12.45 live on ITV but still no news on our game.

ITV have the first and 3rd pick. So we are likely to be 5.30 Saturday as ESPN's main pick. If not we will be 3rd pick and on ITV Sundat 3.30.

Do many people have ESPN?

[Hopadop]

I've a feeling we're going to win this. We'd have lost to Leeds.

Do many people have ESPN?

I knew you were going to ask that.

[PaulWinch again]

Bollocks. Was hoping we'd be overlooked and get a nice big away following. Ho hum.

This will sell out.

Wankers - I think had it been sat 3 pm we would have taken the maximum of 8,800, which would have been ace. Trains are 3 times the price on Sunday.

[Dave Cooper please]

Trains are 3 times the price on Sunday.

Not if you book well enough in advance they're not, a quick 30 second search has just bought up a £20 return on London Midland fitting in easily with beer time for this game.

[Fin Feds Dad]

They were last night when I looked at the two options - will check again - Ta .

What time's did you get? the cheapest I can find with them is £34.90.

[PeterWithesShin]

If you don't mind being able to only use the slow trains you can normally get Brum-London returns for £19.00 on redspottedhanky. It's what I used when I had to do some work in London last year and I only booked a few days before travelling.

Everyone should use this game to forget about the League push the boat out and see it as a chance to take as many as we can and try and enjoy ourselves, god knows we need it, I was at Chelsea and haven't seen scenes like that for ages, kissing strangers, hugging Chelsea stewards and rolling down the steps and that was with about 1000 of us, Imagine taking 8000 to Arsenal and winning.

Get your pass outs, get your hair cut, find your old Adidas Samba's and your sergio tacchini tracksuits, drink 10 cans of Stella an the 9.15 from New Street, Sing your hearts out on the Tube to Finsbury Park, Meet me and the Kingston massive (if we get tickets) in the 12 pins, stop traffic with silly dancing at the traffic lights, march en-mass to the ground and   LETS AV IT like its 1981!!!!   

[PeterWithesShin]

I went in the 12 Pins a few times when I was doing that work in London.
