FA Cup: 05/01/07

Ever wonder what makes the FA cup that fascinating compared to normal weekly epl action among the big clubs? Well it's that sort of fever when imagine, our touted-to-be 2010 World Cup hopeful Lions entertain giants like Iraq which boasts stars like....... (i dunno). But u get the idea la. Knowing that your local lads rank as serious underdogs(or even no-hopers), u cheer for them frantically when they touch the ball, or go into ecstasy when they somehow managed to put the ball over the goal line. Even if your team doesnt win, no bad feeling will linger because their shag-cannot-think faces tell u they have put every drop and ounce of blood and energy into the game.

It's very disappointing to see liverpool, with all its prestige and past glories, now struggle to get into the champions league next year. Seriously, liverpool has been over rated every season. Finishing almost 20-30 pts behind the champions every season is a way no no title contender. Sometimes i just wonder why Tom Dicks and Torres went to liverpool.

I dun see Luton getting past liverpool at this stage of the competition. But with home advantage and an under strength liverpool set to be displayed, i believe they can suck the hell out of liverpool and force a replay in Anfield. Moreover, with so many poor displays in previous matches i see no solution yet to their morale. Benitez must be sweating even when he is sleeping at home.

I will highly recommend Arsenal's youngsters to get a 2 goal win agst burnley. Under strength they may be, these young guys are no pushovers and they all are a match for their senior squad members. Still remember they squeeze a full strength liverpool 6-3 in FA cup also?
