I can probably be safe in saying Barnsley v. Chelsea will probably have more attacking and attractive football than a Chelsea Liverpool match, which has not failed to put me asleep both times. God liverpool need torres back

ManU has drawn a Premiership club in every single fixture of the FA Cup for the last 2 years.

I love when the commentators say that liverpool fans should protest Benitez instead of the American owners. How true is that.

A friend of mine was leaving the Hull v Colchester game on Saturday and a big cheer went up in the crowd because the news filtered back that Barnsley won. Or more properly,the cheer was because Liverpool had been disposed of.
Everyone loves the underdog.
