Ah well. So much for that hope.

Oh dear!

I wouldn't mind, but I dropped Rooney from my fantasy team last week, after a few low scoring weeks. Might've known!

I wouldn't have minded so much if I'd replaced him with Beattie

(yay, we scored 3 goals!!).

On the subject of goals, there were some cracking goals yesterday! I wouldn't know where to start in choosing a best of the week. Beattie, Camara, Gallas, Mendes, Mcfadden and more!

Oof. You're getting a right cuffing here, Toon lads. I suspect something similar could be in store for us, in a bit...

They did a goal of the day feature on Match of the Day last night, cause there were so many. They used 'Life of Riley' as the music, which brought back the memories

Probably, yeah. I'm getting an ominous sense of freefall from our season...

All it takes is for somebody to start scoring, and that should come to a halt.

That was a very painful watch, today. But I'm happy to have come out of it only two goals down at the end. It could have had a really embarrassing scoreline, that one.

Great through ball by Gerrard.

Correct result, wrong method....

Arsenal were all over Liverpool and deserved to win, but certainly didn't like the way it happened. It's not the first time Gerrard has passed blind (we all remember the England game after all) and it's something he seriously needs to get out of his head for the World Cup. That being said, Arsenal were unlucky not to be ahead after dominating and conceding that soft goal.

So that is why Liverpool haven't been scoring, they've been bottling them up to put past Fulham...

Well, we clung on at the end, but who cares. Quarter-finals...who'd have thought. Bring on the Boro!

Bet there's going to be some bother in Rome tonight though

That was a rather tense second half. We seem to specialise in scraping enough of a result to lose the second half and still win. Bad for the league but alright for the cup run (so far). We'll probably lose again come the weekend, but now we're out of the league at least we can concentrate on the cup(s).
