Big night for footballing Yakkers, it's an FA Cup 4th round match at 8pm.
Man City vs Arsenal
City will be without Phyliss while Jesus is still not risen again for The Gunners.
Mikel Arteta used to be asst coach to Plop Guardiola at City, but played for Arsenal before that. When City played, Arteta as asst coach would always applaud when they scored or won, but not if they were facing The Gunners who have always been "his team".
A strange game, highly entertaining in the first half despite a lack of goals, but tetchy in the second. City took the lead around 64 minutes thanks to Nathan Ache assisted by Jacqui, then shut up shop. Elsie Haaarland never got a look in. It's almost as if The Gunners weren't bothered, more concerned with the PL and so put out a bit of a half-arsed team whereas City who may be resigned to second place in the league would love this trophy instead. But really it was unfortunate that the top two teams in England should meet so soon in the tournament. Tomorrow we shall see more interesting clashes like Walsall vs Leicester.
Hmm, the FA Cup 4th round matches for Yakkers seems to be spread out across the weekend in handy bite-size lumps. This makes reviewing easier.
Today it's Wallsall vs Leicester 12:30 KO
Wallsall, like Gillingham before them, are from League Two, so it could be a tricky one for us. Maddie could be back from injury and the new lad from Carlsbergland may be given a run out.
OK, it looks like it's actually the Bescot Stadium, but Poundland sunk a sh*tload of sponsorship money into the club when it was on the bones of it's ar$e in return for adding Poundland to the name. Fans hate it by all accounts.
Also Sir Elton of John did a gig there in 2015. Oh and the Villa Women play there as they're not allowed to sink their heels into Villa Park's turf.
What a crock of sh*te! Patson Daka is even more useless than I had him down for, 6 shots and he misses the lot. Maddie isn't fit yet, he's well off pace. Bring on Iheanacho, Brenda ffs!
Well that was utter rubbish, and a very lucky win for Leicester thanks to Iheanacho who loves an FA Cup match. It was he who got us past Gillingham in R3 and once again he made the difference here. Daka was crap, Tielemans not much better - a penalty he fluffed by way of hitting the left side goalpost, and the new £17m lad from Carlsbergland was pretty rusty too. All in all a dismal display that would have been hammered in a later round. My favourite moment (apart from Harvey Barnes saying "Feck me" right in front of camera) was the players queuing up behind Iheanacho patiently waiting to congratulate the lad for his goal, but being made to wait while he said his prayers. He's extremely religious apparently.
An almighty feck up to put it bluntly. Liverpool opened the scoring thanks to Salah assisting new lad Harvey Elliott but by half time Lewis Dunk had equalised for the Seagulls, Dunk saying afterwards he didn't mean to score and it wasn't meant to happen. Clearly he's not right in the head. Anyway the second half, while entertaining, saw both teams seemingly relishing the idea of a replay at Anfield. When I joined it near the end, The Scousers had resorted to good old fashioned "scythe the shysters down and hope for the best" mentality which is always amusing, Fabinho nearly earning a red for his mischief, but alas it was not to be and Brighton snatched the win in the final minutes from the Cup holders.
Fabhino tries manfully to nullify a cheating Seagull's unwelcome advances.
