Think that was down to Jonesy trying to even out a bad decision with another bad decision. Poor reffing ruined the game from the outset really.

Baker knocked himself out with the ball?

Didn't see it, just saw him lying there, everyone worried it was Vlaar, glad when the bloke announced it was Baker ffs

.

BTW this week's announcement is brought to you by Christian Benteke: Arsenal go top of the Premier League.

Endorsed message.

I'm watching a BBC documentary on the England national team from '66 to '00 on Youtube. My favourite part so far is Rodney Marsh talking about how he and Alf Ramsey never got on, and he says Ramsey told him that the next match was gonna be his last chance for England. He told him that he was going to watch him for the first 45 minutes and if he didn't work hard he was gonna pull him off at half time.

He says his response was "Christ. At City we only get a cup of tea and an orange." And he never played for England again.

Ryan Bertrand?

2 in his last 2. Hope he can keep it up.

Benteke

Manchester United vs Sunderland in a bit then.

Good luck tonight Mojo, it's gonna take a miracle even if you get through tonight. Vidic, Rooney and van Persie all out though, who knows.

I'm on my way into town to watch it now. To be fair the nerves havent even set in yet. We're the underdogs to win and/or go through, for sure. But I'm no more nervous about us going to Old Trafford than I would be us going to The Hawthorns or Craven Cottage. I'm gonna enjoy it no matter what as well.

~~Cuthbert~~ · 01-22-2014, 11:05 AM

Definitely enjoy it, like us, you never know how long you might have to wait for another cup semi again.

Can't beat the anticipation of matches like these tbh.

Jizz. Everywhere.

Sunderland's Oba Martins moment. De Gea has had an absolute Holocaust there.
