forest 3-0 man city and its not over yet

Don't forget FGR 3 - 2 Derby :)

3-3 now

Hartlepool 2-0 Stoke. Think that's a result as well.

3-4 derby now >:(

Aw, well at least they've had a good day! They got further than us!

Colin must be pretty pissed off, he's not having the best of times at the minute.  He didn't do too badly in December and to be sacked via a phone call from the Chairman in sunny barbados is pretty poor.  Billy Davies should be in for a good second half of the season.

Chelski 1 - 1 Sarfend ha ha

Ha ha Chelsea are shite.

spot on ;D

Torquay currently winning the battle of the seaside towns over Blackpool.

great result for forest ;D

Does Millwall's draw affect our fixture on jan 13th?

More than likely, yes.

They can play the replay a week after actually but probably won't. Must admit it was a bit silly arranging the fixture for the 13th with Millwall still in the cup.

Isn't it in the rules of the cup that if it goes to a replay then it gets played 10 days later by default? In which case, it'll be the 13th meaning our game will be re-arranged again.

Didn't they say there was another date arranged if Millwall went to a replay.

In fact it will now be played on Tuesday 17th February.

Note to self: change holiday at work on Monday!

And that happens to be half term week so there's no fucking chance I'm getting the time off work for that. Cunts.

I see a sick day coming on there Sam.

Liverpool should be battering preston

reira=ace
keane=ouch

Corrected for you

i thought it flowed better my way, you were just being unsubtle...but correct

This is the first game i've watched in HD and its immense.

It is. We were due to play Hartlepool at home on FA Cup 4th Rd day so that will be another postponment, at least it will be a midweek re-arranged game at home rather than away.

what's the score in HD? does it highlight keane's inability to hit a cows arse with a banjo?

Really? Ahhh bugger. More midweek fun. At least it's at home.

Got gerrard at 5s next goal

Ooh

Jon Parkin is a numpty.

Preston fans are morons

why that drs?

Ran on the pitch for a disallowed goal and booing everything for nothing

ah right,nice

i think preston were hard done by in that instance, parkin was raped on that freekick...amazing how the linesman didn't see him being wrestled to the ground by carragher but did see him put two hands on carraghers legs to stop him getting up...

Thanks gerrard

On a side note, thought Deepdale looked a tidy stadium from the TV pictures (not having been there myself like) and the sort of ground we should be looking to develop the CG into idc. Sounded a reasonable atmosphere (if you count booing Gerrard as atmosphere) from the old goggle box.

I think he Riera quote is some what stretching the truth...ok ile be frank for a change,its bollox.

I told you all back in June when he was signed that Keane was a waste of bloody money. £30m FFS!

20m and they are top of the league with him out. His movement and awareness is 2nd to none. If they win the league then money well spent. Keane will end up scoring goals

i don't think there are many (he's in the top 5) better left wingers playing in england at the moment, plus i was refering to that game. during which i maintain that he looked ace

Spot on,exactly what i was thinking whilst watching the match.I don't really like 2 tiered stands
these days.

 I think Preston must now be the proper club, who we've not had a game against for the longest time...must go back to 85/86.  Then we played them in Div 4 and they were just about the worst team I'd ever seen...had the present system been in place they'd have fallen into non league.

 In fact we've only had 4 fixtures in the last 30+ years.

I went up to the game at Deepdale when we stuffed them 3-0 the day after my 20th birthday, they were dire the ground was appalling in those days, all wood and rotten, poor fans too with no vocal support.....times have changed a lot.

Charley Henry ran then ragged that day.

Surelythese kind of results now happen so often,they can no longer be described as "shocks".Now if every higher placed side were to beat their lower placed counterparts-that would be a shock

Gillingham vs Villa on ITV now.

It always makes me laugh how Gillingham's tribute to Brian Moore is a stand made out of scaffolding.

Their tribute to Cascarino is a food shop :D

Reg, I looked that up. I reckon Preston must be one of the few teams I have never seen Swindon play.

Ex-Swindon player James Milner sticks one past the Jills!

Curtis Weston playing for Gills

He's done well, hasn't he?

I know the level is shit but he did score a bloody cracker last week against Wycombe, a real beauty.

I think he has found his level though.

We always seem to draw 1-1 away at Blackpoo..but I think the time you are thinking of was the Bank Holiday game under Muckmarn, we took loads up there and the place looked like a building site.

Not sure...i know i was behind the goal,a fair way from the pitch,not in the away side they have now...apologies about the quote!

I miss the old shit grounds a bit, these new grounds all look good but the atmosphere seems to be worse in virtually all of them, give me a tight crappy ground, with some cover to make it sound louder and a bit of banter with the natives!

Walsall away used to be good under cover in the corner,Aldershot also,even Colchester on the old floorboards on a Friday night always seemed atmospheric.

Oh fuck off pikeys, 1-1

Well taken goal though. *ducks*

Remember Bobby Charlton and Nobby Stiles at the CG managing Preston.  It was an easy home victory, 2:0 or thereabouts.  

Another goal for Milner. Looks like the pikeys are going out..........

Order has been restored to the Universe.

You are obviously a fair bit older than myself!

True, I'm afraid, Bert Head was manager when I started following the Town.  First real memory was Don Rogers destroying West Ham in the F.A. Cup with Moore, Peters and Hurst in the team.

John Trollope didn't get enough credit playing in the same team as Don.  Those two almost had ESP.

It's a great pity that most of Don's goals  are not available in video.  You used to see the alleged goal of the season and laugh, Don used to score incredible goals every three or four games. 

Sadly I just caught the end of the mid 80 early 90s gravy train and all the downhillness since.

Although I can I've seen us play in every division and I must have seen us play nearly every single league team. Alot of L1 teams on other forums like to take the piss out of us for our one season in the premiership but its better than to have got their once and been shit then to have never got there at all!

I do think its ruined our expectations a bit though because dont we all think deep down somewhere, right at the back of our minds it could happen again?

Better than being a Cheltenham or a Yeovil where mid table L1 is what they strive, wish and hope to be I suppose

liverpool v everton

the draws are so shit when your not in them!

Derby v Forest is juicy.

Billy Davies will be buzzing

That was a cracking second half.

Kettering v Fulham could be interesting.

Couldn't agree more.

That's the fixture of the round in my opinion.

It'll be Derby's 2nd defence of the Brian Clough Trophy.

Perhaps we could do something similar with Motherwell. Play them and the loser gets The Malpas Atrophy ...

I had a look up at the records and back in 1975 we played them twice in the league within the
space of 3 days.We won 1 - 0 at the CG with the great Peter Eastoe scoring and lost 2 - 0
at Deepdale 3 days later.I can't remember ever playing the same team in successive league games,
but i suppose it was done so in the past,many moons ago?

Refs wave away blatant pens from league sides and give dodgy ones to Premiership teams....no fucking shock there!!

Anyone watching the Blyth Vs Blackburn game on Setanta? 0-0 at half time....they are going to do it!

couldnt think of a worse game to watch

sounds pretty damn good to me. i don't have setanta unfortunately.

Non League vs Premier League
Freezing Cold Monday Night
Watching the overpaid Premiership players have to play in a tiny little ground
Possible Chance of a huge FA Cup shock
Managed to hold out until half-time...

Yeah you stick to watching Boro v Fulham on a Sunday afternoon mate....

they have a reserve team out no doubt

come on BLYTH ;D

0-1 Down
Crap

oh damn, really thought Blyth could win

I bet you're a right laugh at a football match...

how did blyth miss that chance??

Why are you watching the worst game to watch?

celeb big brother was having a break :)
