Todays games 09/02

[nil_desperandum]

I know that we're supposed to drool over attacking flowing football, but I really enjoyed watching those 2 giant Plymouth centre-backs defending as though their lives depended on it. They were both immense.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Watched it since 50 mins.

Must have been a bad injury in that 45-50 range to get those 9 mins at the end. Other possibility, that they try to stack the desck, feels likelier.

Well done Plymouth.

[LincsWoldsClaret]

9 mins = 20% of the second half
Ridiculous

Nothing better for me than blood and guts, bodies on the line defending. They really were - well done to Plymouth!

[Commy]

He doesn't care about his language then . Apologies on the way.

[Goliath]

Ridiculous

Absolutely correct. The amount of time the ball isn't in play in most games is absolutely ridiculous. If they actually stuck to this it might stop the constant slowing down of play, faking injuries and time wasting.

[jos]

Were those minutes because of subs, I don’t know what the minutes allocation is for each substitute.

Anyone?

[LeadBelly]

Yellow card for Plymouth man when he got the ball easily

Looked like a good tackle to me too and certainly no card. I only tuned in for the last few minutes (having watched the rugby) but hopefully that wasn't the standard of reffing throughout.

[billyhamilton82]

Further evidence of how great our performance / result was beating them 5-0 on their own patch.

[Commy]

One of Plymouth's players went down a couple of times before being subbed but it wasn't that long.

Only required if elite team struggling

[Commy]

Villa only have 7 subs. I thought they had loads of players.

[kentonclaret]

Further evidence of how great our performance / result was beating them 5-0 on their own patch.

The Plymouth defence has been considerably strengthened by the signing of centre backs Talovierov and Tadic, who both joined Plymouth following that defeat, and were immense for them this afternoon.

[Duffer_]

Queen's Park concede a pen 90+5 when leading 1-0 at Ibrox.

[Duffer_]

Pen saved!!!

[Rowls]

Yes, it would be fine if they stuck to this interpretation for everybody instead of just for Liverpool.

[Somethingfishy]

Queen's Park concede a pen 90+5 when leading 1-0 at Ibrox.

I've watched the last 10 minutes of that. Incredibly soft penalty but a great save by the Queens Park keeper Ferrie. Another great save from the corner to tip it over the bar too. Game of his life that lad.

Rangers dumped out. Loud boos at the final whistle. Clement isn't popular.

[mdd2]

Prefer not to get them
Not the same team we played with those additions he has made

[Wile E Coyote]

Further evidence of how great our performance / result was beating them 5-0 on their own patch.

not really, liverpool made ten changes which proves they couldnt care less, otherwise they wouldve wiped the floor with them.
our performance was great, but the fans are being sold short with fa cup games . unfair on travelling supporters from liverpool today,

[Commy]

We will draw Exeter after they knock Forest out

[claret wizard]

And we’re off at Villa Park , Spurs being Spursy, 1-0

[Commy]

Oooops

[Colburn_Claret]

Very poor from the keeper, but where was the Spurs defence mia

[CrosspoolClarets]

Looking like the only ones of the “big six” left in the last 16 will be from Manchester, and both of those ragged it through.

[Woodleyclaret]

We are the greatest defensive unit left in
Argyle or Millwall at Burnley in round 5 will do

I assume you think we did the same yesterday?

[FCBurnley]

We deserve to get Preston home but will prob get Bournemouth away ( south coast as usual )

[jos]

I’d argue that Man Utd are no longer considered as part of the “big six”.

[ElectroClaret]

Spurs really are sh1t.

[Spijed]

Son usually scores those chances

[Dyched]

I’ve never seen a players ability fall so dramatically than Sons has.

[AmbleClaret]

Spurs really are sh1t.

They need Dyche to get that defence sorted,it's non-existent.

[Wile E Coyote]

I assume you think we did the same yesterday?

billy, what do you think?

[fidelcastro]

billy, what do you think?

We've never played Preston in the FA Cup I believe, so it'd be nice to be part of history.

Preferably at home though!

Edit: didn't mean to quote you wile e!

[ElectroClaret]

Villa 2-0

[Conroysleftfoot]

Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs out of the cup, great stuff.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Seven seconds added on for the goal being scored in injury time.

[mikeS]

Spurs can't defend for toffee.
Ange needs to watch us and learn how it's done.
Only half a team willing to put the yards in.
And they wonder why they are in the bottom six.

The league leaders in the PL, Championship, League One all knocked out of the FA Cup in the 4th Round. Anyone would think they had bigger fish to fry

[nil_desperandum]

Villa and Newcastle both miles ahead of Man U, and at present I'd fancy us more against City than those two (or Forest if they get through)

[CoolClaret]

Andreas Houtondji bagged his first goal today for Standard Liege in a 4-2 loss against Lyle Foster's old club, Westerlo.
