Kin ell Filth on Eurosport 1 tonight .Still waiting for van Howler to slap giggs for sniffing at his dog.

Disgraceful from United, showing no respect at all to the glorious tradition of the FA Cup by naming a weak team.

love the way van Howl nearly poked himself in the eye with his note making pencil getting a drink from his bottle of water

The inevitable has happened.

LVG fails to crack a smile

Fair play to Linekar who has just tweeted, "big shock on the cards at Shrewsbury. Utd have just scored"

Bet he secretly despises them

So the Rags have introduced a new free kick tactic of setting three players in front of the goalie in clear offside positions and as the player kicks the ball they run out , trying to get onside !
How is that not offside, they are moving in front of the goalie !
Madley is ref and the first time it hits Marshal on his way out and Madley gives a dead ball. The second time Mata scores . the players clearly blocking the goalies view !

I remember Chelsea doing something simile in the past. A not attacking player would block a defender at a corner, leaving the attacker free in the box.

Steven Taylor used to jump about acting a twat in the goalies line of vision as well.

Cuntish behaviour of the highest order.

Interesting how the Rags get away with 3 players clearly interfering with play yet Shrewsbury can't even buy a freekick from the ref.

Is that every game where they've cheated a lower league club?

They have no chance of beating West Ham in the next round.....'keep the faith' !

Is it just me, or would anyone else prefer to see Arsenal beat Barca.

No, I want Barca to thrash them. 8-1 over the two legs would do nicely

Arsenal turned the floodlights off before the teams come out.

I liked it when we did that. Why don't we do it anymore?

That's perfectly understandable NB. Quite normal.
Not sure if the way I feel, has sound logic in it. i.e. keep Arsenal busy in Europe for longer, or am I just suffering from Barcelonitis.
They kind of get on my tits, these days.
Anyway, it doesn't feel natural or wholesome, rooting for the Arse.

Was a good effect apart from the rag flare.

Definitely want to see an Arsenal win.

As always, the sniff of a touch on the Barca players and they hit the ground like being shot in knee cap.

Wankers!

Only 20 mins in, but Arse giving it more of a go than we ever did vs Barca

They are, but this ref looks like he's been hand picked.
Arsenal looking good, but I can see them being done by the Turk in yellow and black.

Would rather Arse win, Barca's play acting is out of control
