Anyone fancy Havant to get a result against Liverpool today in the FA Cup?

The young Havant keeper Kevin Scriven has a number of incentives to keep the Pool attack at bay. Stop Kop and you'll get a Merc | The Sun |HomePage|Sport|Football

I'd should probably take that bet if I were him.
The Kop is where the Liverpool home fans stand, or sit nowadays. They're not likely to score as they're not even on the pitch

Something about bad karma or something.

I wonder how Knobbykins will react if The Wally With The Brolly gets the job?

In the old days the Kop used to suck the ball into the net

What an amazing effort from Havant.

To be in the lead twice against Liverpool at mighty Anfield is no mean feat.
I think the Havant goalkeeper actually kept a clean sheet for longer than 15minutes, so should be getting a prize from 'The Sun'.

The romance of the FA Cup is alive and well.

I'm not surprised your mood is happy bats with a draw like that
Stuffy Chelsea ,meanwhile the theatre of dreams once again entertains the gooners I'd rather play them now than in the final ,they were so lucky last time it can't happen twice , can it?

I think it's a great draw all round .... we get at least one of the other 3 'Big 4' out of the way, two potential giant killing matches and 3 all non-premiership matches. Who said the FA Cup was finished?

You know it's funny really, Arsenal fans are a bit like Buses, never one around when you want one. Has something serious happened to Orpheum? Do you think she had a really bad reaction to last week's result?

They all seem to be fine when they are winning and poking fun at the rest of us, lose badly, and they just can't take it, not even their highly esteemed Manager. That was a little disappointing.

They really did believe they could turn it on and off like a tap, didn't they. Well they were wrong, arrogant lot. Bet Fergie really really loved it! Another good loser....not!

You're right about Fergie being a bad loser ,but he does give credit where it's due ( unlike the loony gooner ) and is the first to come out in support of ( most ) other premiership managers .
I always get the impression that fergie is respected as a man and a manager by his Peers ,whereas Wenger is respected on his managerial qualities alone .

Anyway bats I'd love to see a UTD V CHELSEA repeat so we can make Atonement for our last display at wembley.I know it won't be a popular choice due to the romance of the cup ,but rest assured I will be rooting for the underdog to win if my team gets knocked out

I hope ManUSA beat The Arse 'cos they are a better side to watch. A repeat of last year's final surely couldn't produce such another woeful match. Your lot have definitely improved since last season and, to my surprise I admit, Avram has actually got Chelski playing better than at any time since Jose's first season.

Gee Man.U are so unlucky in their recent cup draws.
I believe they have now drawn Premiership teams in 15 of their last 20 or so FA Cup ties.
Still, being at home certainly helps.

It's a baffling one .... Kev didn't appear to know much about it when asked by a Sky reporter.
