The FA Cup

Goalkeeper saves that if he trusts his placement of the wall.

it's a ridiculously good FK. Think messi hit one similar sometime from the left and the angle was a bit more acute.

Here you go:

Not as good as Oscar's IMO. Rooney had a pretty good one like that against us in the 8-2.

Biggus

Yes I was wondering when Messi's exploits in the FA cup would be first mentioned.

If we have everyone back, we'll be able to rotate and give L'Pool a real run for their money anyway. The likes of Vermaelen, Monreal/Gibbs, Jenkinson, Flamini, Gnabry, Rosicky, Ox, Podolski etc. are good enough to fill in alongside a few of key guys and do a very good job. I think we'd be able to get away with resting Koscielny, Ramsey/Arteta, Wilshere and Ozil/Cazorla. The only major drop off in quality is from Giroud down which is why the next few days are so important.

One of the best FKs I've seen, just look at where the ball hits.

Very nice but Beckham scored an even better one against Everton in 02-03.

I still maintain that if the goalkeeper doesn't take those steps to the other side, which he shouldn't, then he saves that one. Could you ever imagine that shot resulting in a goal if there is no wall at all btw?

Great shot, but also poor goalkeeping IMO.

Keeper def sets himself up to be beat.

Definitely. The keepers footwork is shocking.

Rex

It just irks me every time I see a goalkeeper take those few steps towards the corner his wall is to protect, only to then be beaten in 'his' corner. I just rather a goalkeeper who sticks to the 'deal' that he has his corner, and the wall has the other. If the freekick taker then manages to get it over the wall in the top corner - so be it.

Volante

Shocking miss from Lambert, fucking donkey. Immense from Clyne.

Gus Poyet doing some job at Sunderland. He's gotten them to the League Cup Final and now has them in the FA Cup Quarter Finals. Has to be pretty exciting for Sunderland supporters, but will the extra cup games cost them in the league?

Is Nasri back from injury already?
Aguero?
I think a City Chelsea draw would be advantageous for us.

lorddulaarsenal

Yep. City have missed nasri

Clrnc

Both Chelsea and City resting players. No surprise.

MistaT

Come on Wigan - hold on!!

Qwiss

Hope City beat Chelsea. It'll make Mourinho look even stupider for all his mouthing.

I think they'll be fine. They might get a little bit more tired but the new confidence will do them a world of good. They have a better squad than they've let on so far too. They should see this relegation battle out and then finish in the upper half of the table next season.
