Precisely. This game could go either way but I have faith that this squad of players / management team will try sure as hell to make sure we're through to the next round. COYR

Oh joys....how to water down the quality of the competition even further! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24701131

Ha ha that is truly horrific!

Annoyingly cant get the highlights to work, my laptop seems to be taking the hump Edit: got it to work, what a peach! Support and team went nuts What's quite evident though is that there is a great team spirit, everyone seems to fight for each other. Guess that comes with having a manager that knows what they're doing. Great to see us win a game in the final 1/4 as well. Keep it up lads, COYR and bring on wednesday

Haha love it tlg. Fucking magic!

Absolutely! Tom, it's all there

Read that on the way in Baggy, was a very good read.

A great watch. I've long admired Russel Brand for his views and obvious intelligence. Comes off very well in this interview with Paxman. http://gawker.com/russell-brand-may-have-started-a-revolution-last-night-1451318185?utm_campaign=socialflow_gawker_facebook&utm_source=gawker_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

Was literally having the same conversation with a colleague, and its very true sadly. I hadn't heard his comments post match to be fair.

Ian Holloway has left Crystal Palace. Strange decision for me, but apparently his own.

Was playing football in Finsbury park last night tyrant, the noise from the emirates was amazing. Dortmund fans were in great voice! From what I saw (last 25) it seemed harsh on arsenal.

Shame Leyton Orients unbeaten start to the season finished last night. Coventry have done amazingly well considering they began with a 10 point deduction at the start of the season. Elvis seems to be doing a decent job down there.

Ah well, guess it was either a load of bollocks or DM just didn't think he was up to the task anymore. I'm sure it was good value for winding up the arabs anyway

fair few names banded about at the mo, included clough and Eck.

Just watched the highlights, a few ropey moments but it was a good goal in the end that won it. Very pleased for Zola. GIRFUY Jackie!

Was expecting to see a higher crowd attendance, unusual for the Arabs to actually bring a support! Most important thing is we got the 3 points, really need a result against the junkies next week.

Aye saw that mentioned on twitter this week. Assumed it was just pish. Was a decent player for the Arabs.

Out Out in Manc Either a pub or still walking round the city centre. mates 30th 1-2 Pawlett

Good stuff, hoping to see it next Friday

I dont think anyone down here bar Cole thinks England can win the world cup. Probably why no-one listens to him anyway.

Guess not, they posted a photo of him in training gear and sporting a beanie (afc). I was surprised that everyone was training.

Al, everyone is back.

According to DM, all players are back in training :o Only player who is unavailable for the weekend is Zola.

Have they not always been shite? Explains a lot

Read that this morning too, can't say i'm sympathetic, though given the amount of game time he started to have i'd be a little bit gutted about his situation if I was him. Oh well
