    Chelsea-Norwich just got VERY interesting. Norwich making i 1-1 three minutes into added time! Wow!

    Chelsea robbed of a penalty there? Willian goes down in the box, but the ref gives a free-kick to Norwich. No usage of VAR in that situation. Ref sticks with his decision.

    This game let alone the extra time is gonna cost this weekend. Really proud of the lads but Chelsea should be out of sight. I hope they get to penalties just for a crack at it. Big clubs don't respect the cup competitions unless its the semi's or actual final. Really chuffed Jamal Lewis got his first senior goal tonight.

    Sounds like chaos!

    Two of Chelsea's penalty takers off and their heads all over the place surely?

    The psychological tide has to be with Norwich surely?

    Chelsea through to the next round. Caballero saves Norwich first kick on goal, while Chelsea put all theirs in the net.

    The Morata situation will probably be discussed tonight.


    Good match by Norwich, though. Chelsea didn't defend well on that late goal, and Norwich made the most out of it!

    I'm only getting it off the radio? Did Morata go for diving? Was it VAR that did for him?

    So, after VAR does a decent job in the Leicester game, it doesn’t even get used for contentious decisions in the Chelsea game last night, as mentioned above regarding penalty appeals. Not everyone, I’m guessing the referees are on the same page as players were booked for diving. After seeing the William incident this morning, clear penalty and the red must use the available VAR to ensure a correct decision. I’m far from a Chelsea supporter but it’s got to be correct, this wasn’t.

    If we're talking Bond he's certainly the DAD of football managers - started quite well but then the wheels came off in spectacular style and you're consistently staggered no one in power seems able to do anything to stop it.

    So why does Wenger keep surviving? Does he abide by some kind of frugal strategy in place by the owners? If they replace Wenger will the board have to find a manager who might keep brow beating them for funds?

    Small minded club.

    Some Arsenal fans are the worst supporters ever...............
    Last time They played Liverpool, they were 2-0 down to Liverpool and they started booing the players ,manager.

    Then they score 3 goals in 5 minutes and they start cheering like crazy for the players ,manager. :)

    Eventually Liverpool equalized 3-3 final score and they didn't do either..... :)

    Arsenal won the FA cup last year defeating Chelsea and your supporters aren't happy with that.

    As a Liverpool fan who hasn't won anything since the 2006 FA cup i'd be more than happy to win it.

    Wenger won it a record 6 times.
    If you get rid of Wenger whose going to get the job ? Henry,viera ,ian wright ?????

    Anyone who can make us at least competitive ,and doesn't let another Van Persie/Sanchez/possible Ozil/Wilshere situation happen.

    Wenger

    FA Premier League (3): 1997–98, 2001–02, 2003–04
    FA Cup (7): 1997–98, 2001–02, 2002–03, 2004–05, 2013–14, 2014–15, 2016–17

    Compare that record to Liverpool, tottenham and even man city.

    Won 3 FA cups in the last 4 years. 7 in total. Record.
    FA Premier League 3 times since 1996.

    I'd take that as a Liverpool supporter anytime. We've never won the Premier League and 2 fa cups in 27 years. 1 CL.

    You try and find a replacement for him. There's not that many top managers around.
    Ancelotti ? :)

    Oh dear. Hardly a surprise but still pretty tragic nonetheless to see the world's biggest Liverpool 'fan' embarrassing himself yet again:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/17093419

    Perhaps if you spent more time committing to memory facts about LFC rather than how many passes Mo Salah completed in a match against Chievo in 2015 you might not be such a figure of ridicule?

    But hang on! It seems he was just warming up:

    The voice of the knowledgeable football fan because obviously the only people in the frame to manage Arsenal are ex players.

    You might but serious Liverpool fans wouldn't. Dominating the league and CL is our perch and nothing less than back on it is where we want to be.

    Wenger isn't a top manager though is he. So just a half decent one will be an upgrade. You've actually heard of Ancelotti though which is surprising.

    Hardly a shock that this buffoon is the only person in the world, save the man himself, who still thinks Wenger is the man for the job! When @001 is the only one backing you surely it's time to go?

    Get back on FIFA son, turn the difficulty to level 1 and you can have Salah score 10 goals a game (obviously make sure you have plenty of Kleenex handy). Leave the proper discourse to the grown ups.

    Small minded club.

    Everything was hunky dory as long as he kept the CL money tap on. You note that the moment he couldn't deliver that year in year out the board suddenly sat up and took notice and he's right in the shit.

    You're right they certainly won't want an opinionated manager who might ask why they keep selling their best players and are content just to make up the numbers in the CL and the league just as long as they make a profit. Roy Hodgson the ideal man for the Arsenal board in many ways.

    You have to feel sorry for Arsenal fans paying the highest prices in world football to go and look at a balance sheet in the trophy cabinet.

    There have been talks about Ancelotti already this year. Will be interesting to see what happens.

    Yes, Arsenal have won the FA cup very recently, but that state of the club as a whole, and the way they play – cup matches aside, is worrying.
  • edited January 2018 Posts: 7,507
    @001 you are not exactly making a great advertt for Liverpool fans here. I tell you that...

    I would think of what impression I make as a supporter myself before I start tipping on others...

    So you want to dominate the FA cup and league.
    You're not asking for too much are you ? :)

    As a Liverpool fan so do i. :)

    The wizard of lice counts the league cup as a big trophy.
    You truly are a Muppet and the Biggest TROLL on this site...............

    Do you think that Maradona took an illegal drug (e.g steroids) in the 1980's besides the other stuff he was taking at the time?

    I just noticed this.
    You are saying I have a hoodlum mentality,or are you joking,mate ?

    I'd like to speak up in defence of football banter. What the rest of us are doing is football banter and we can all give as good as we get.

    What @001 is a purveyor of is inane, infantile drivel and he is sadly so far out of his depth that he genuinely seems unaware hes a total laughing stock.

    He's a joke certainly Baz. As 'fart face' was one his latest cutting comments I think it's fairly solidly proven that he doesn't have the requisite wit to be joking.

    Carroll doesn't sound that bad now, doesn't it? Looks like he's injured, though. Might be the reason behind the Crouch interest/reports. True or not, It's the transfer window at it's best!
