If there is football on ITV and the same game is being covered on radio I'll listen to radio and put tv on mute, I cant stand ANYTHING about ITV's football coverage. The sooner BBC step in and get the FA cup and England Internationals the better the coverage will be

You have to admit though, MOTD2 was better with Adrian Chiles than it is now, even if for the most part ITV's coverage - including AC's own - is worse...!

Knees Up Mother Brown, the leading independent West Ham website, always has the post-match press conferences in full. Including yesterday:

Probably inevitable that Stale would go after the shocking performance v. Mick's Ipswich and the Scandinavian approach was never likely to work in the rough and tumble of the Championship. Is Mr Curbishley going to be interested?

Be grateful. I'm a Scunthorpe supporter remember. At least you have a striker who knows where the back of the .... oh, hang on a minute
Mr Curbishley applied for the job in the summer and wasnt even shortlisted apparantly. As did Steve Bruce, who is now bringing quite good results to Hull.
To be fair, they did have 29 games to get through though, it's hardly like MOTD where there would be a maximum 7 or 8. Granted, the Beeb do manage fairly decent coverage in the Football League show though.

Thats hardly going to happen though, is it?
The BBC have been slowly getting rid of as much sport as possible for the past few years, leaving us with such delights as Equestrian, Bowls and Cross Country.

A unneeded draw is what has happened at the Liberty Stadium. A Arsenal team lacking in confidence manage to claw a draw out of this one but after losing to Swansea at home in the previous fixture one has to ask what is the point.......... Oh i see its the board at Arsenal who will be relishing another game at the emirates another 60,000 will bring in a couple of million pounds for the coffers of the shareholders at the club.
In fact Arsenal run their club like some bus companies who run railway franchises.

Wolves are said to be after Doncaster's Dean Saunders. The Rovers board are on record as saying "[we] will not stand in the way of Dean but will try to keep him at Rovers" (source = BBC), i.e. they want him to stay but will not force him to.
The Beeb's Radio5 analyst, Pat Murphy, has stated that Wolves' owner Steve Morgan has made some poor decisions over the last 11 months - as we all know.
Drat. Didn't realise the Draw was now, otherwise I'd have waited! :roll: Sorry...
'Boro seem to be getting some very easy draws this year. I hope City go to Stoke though - I'm sure they would love that
...hoo boy. Chelsea again for Southend (if they beat Brentford). Ouch - the Beeb are calling it "tie of the round". Everton's looks fair enough though.

Liverpool are winning 2-0 so far so it look like they are going to be playing against Oldham in Fourth Round, what a draw for Latics to be playing against Liverpool at Boundary Park (if Mansfield don't score three goals in next 20 mins) the only problem is Boundary Park is three seater stand so only hold 10,500 fans so they be quite lot of Latics fans missing out on that one but saying that it should be on tv on ITV1 or ESPN so they should be fair watching on them channels.

We met them at Anfield last year and actually went 1-0 up in the first half, before going down 5-1 there, with their last two goals coming in the last three minutes.

^^ Yeah I know sad thing is I miss that game due to Work
but I be they at Boundary Park on 26th or 27th Jan even if is against Mansfield plus I happy that I'm Season ticket holder too so aleast I can get my ticket before they go on sale to non season ticket holder. 
EDIT: Liverpool won 2-1 mean they are heading to Boundary Park on 26 or 27th January but it sound like Mansfield put up a very good fight against them.

Mansfield pressuring Liverpool in the final few minutes.
if this ends two one then suarez will take the headlines.

Personally with games like that Oldham should be proactive in their ticket selling, perhaps they can say if you buy a ticket for Liverpool then you also (at a discounted price, maybe £7-£10) you buy another ticket to a league 1 game to help entice more people to come back more often

^^ I have hear some Latics fans saying that fans who att next Saturday game against Brentford should get voucher to get ticket for Liverpool game if they not Season ticket holder, I think is good idea but I don't think owners would do that.

Was it handball? Yes. Was it intentional? Jury is out on that one ....

On first view I thought it was intentional but having seen a few more angles I wouldn't say I could be 100% sure. A few people have mentioned his kissing the arm celebration and said that confirms he did it on purpose but Liverpool fans tell me that he always does that celebration.
Suarez is never far from controversey, the commentator on ESPN was pretty convinced he was cheating but in the pundits box Keegan backed Suarez.
Interesting draw for the next round. If Leeds can get past Small Heath in the replay then we'll play Tottenham at Elland Road in a repeat 4th round tie of 3 years ago.
The one advantage of working down in the West Midlands is that I don't even have to take a day off to go to Small Heath to see the replay. £15 a ticket apparently so fair play to Brum on that one. It was £28 at Elland Road which shows what a joke my club continues to be.

Are "Hand of God" goals something peculiar to South American players ?

We know from the World Cup how good Suarez can be with his hands
I've watched it several times now and cannot see it as deliberate. The ball is in flight and the ball made contact with the hand when it bounced up, there wasn't an effort to meet the ball with the hand.
As with the celebration, there was immediate venom on Twitter with people accusing him of doing it on purpose but as you say, it's the celebration he has always done, he has a tattoo of his daughters name on his wrist.
What strikes me as more hilarious are the comments around the internet after the game, from a sudden army of fans with a massive conscience. Comments about how if it was their team, they would expect their player to own up and get the goal disallowed, for their club to offer the opposition a reply. The fact is, if it did happen to them, they wouldn't, situations such as this happen regularly, how often do you see anyone own up?
Top and bottom is, it is up the officials to see and make a decision. Players are there to play to the whistle.

In the end I didn't go to the Mansfield game because they gave priority to everyone but normal fans, they gave about 6800 priority tickets and about 200 'normal' tickets, so everything was sold out.
Decided to watch it on ESPN and really disappointed by the handball by that Liverpool player who I dont even need to mention (The one who cheats all the time). It was a clear handball, I mean why ruin it? Why spoil it? Why should he play for such a good club if he cant play the game properly?

Indeed so. But how many times do you see a referee "mobbed" by players when the decision given is not one with which they agree....
His hand was already up and the ball hit it.
As for the comment of not playing the game properly? Really? That was his 19th of the season, were they all handball?
