Be so funny if Liverpool draw tonight. All the moaning Klop has done about fixture congestion. Play a weak team and add another game would be good. Plus we play then in the next few weeks don't we?

Oh dear Liverpool have yet another fixture to fulfill, plenty of time for a few more hamstring injuries [HASHTAG]#hopefully[/HASHTAG] :biggrin:

Yes, 2 weeks tomorrow before they come to CR for the early kick off!!!!! <ok>
 
The game was pretty decent to watch but If Exeter had won it would hardly be against Liverpool in the true sense. They were a patchwork of kids, professionals who get little game time and Benteke. As was said on the commentary, what was the point of taking Lallana not to play him, very strange! The Cup now is a half hearted affair for so many teams that the magic has been lost, probably forever.
 
I get the impression that Dorrans, Whittaker and Lafferty are going to play, so the same can be said of NCFC!
Not that I'm complaning - I know what my priorities are.
That is my point exactly. When you look at it, even Eastleigh would rather get promoted to Division 2 than beat Bolton I would assume. It would be interesting to see a list of teams who actually hasd the cup as their main priority now. My guess is that you would need to be safe from elegation but without a chance of the European slots, doesn't leave many does it? Crystal Palace might be one of a handful of candidates and the same goes for the Championship.

I saw a great comment on the BBC live text. Usually teams go out of the cup to concentrate on the league. Villa have taken the unusual step this season of going out of the league to focus on the cup.
 
F**k sake. United injury time Pen. Saw the replay. Not a pen. So sick of that bullsh*t. Just coz it's United at Old Trafford. So predictable.
