Anyway, football? Pah, who needs it!

Thank God, we've still got cri-

C'mon the Black Caps. Although it'll be a trickier semifinal against Sri Lanka than it would have been against England. =|

What? Had I known that there was a single other member who had any interest in cricket I would have made a smurfing thread about the Ashes/World Cup

EDIT: Also yes yes Wales are e etc

Dan and I are both registered at CricketWeb, although I don't post there anymore - used to be a mod, too, for a while. Resha was there, too. Good times. I believe Neel also follows cricket. Yes, yes, I know, only me and Dan actually still post here regularly.

[DK]

speak for yourself, i think i've posted like 80 times in the last year, and the bulk of those would have been in this thread and the halo thread

[Old Manus]

I'm sure I registered there in order to open some attachment which had a patch for Brian Lara Cricket 99 or something

[Loony BoB]

Compared to Resha and Neel, that's regularly. D=

Man United to pummel City in the FA Cup! Seriously though, we are in a decent reign of form and if things go right for us we should get the result. It may have lost it's gloss over the years but I still love this competition!

[Crop]

What a really birthday present. It just had to be City didn't it?

After Berbatov missed those two shots Utd just got worse and worse, and in the second half were just terrible.

[Loony BoB]

Still yet to see United win an FA Cup.

City deserved that win after the second half, even if it took us gifting it to them in order for them to take it. They played out of their skins in the second half, closing us down far better than we closed them down.

Scholes deserved his red and we didn't have much of a chance at that point.

[charliepanayi]

I wouldn't worry, the league is yours anyway - hopefully Bolton will get to the final now and beat City.

[Heath]

Scholes' tackle was terrible. Blatant red. I was disappointed to see Man Utd lose; I'm not a fan of either team but I dislike City more these days. I'm hoping that Bolton or Stoke win overall.

Also, can I complain about how terrible our start of the season is yet again? I swear to God, this season and last we were awesome in the second half of the season and diabolical in the first. We'd easily be CL contenders if only we didn't insist on being in the bottom three after the first ten games or so. I think today makes it two months since we last lost in the League and we remain top of are second in the form table. Having said that, I think Liverpool will finish above us. They're winning games you'd expect them to lose (Utd, City, Chelsea) and I think that'll be enough to see them pip us to 6th unfortunately.

Last weekend, what a game against Wolves. Three cracking goals including what was by Phil Neville's standards a wondergoal, and by anyone else's just a great goal.

Also, people asking 'should Leon Osman get a chance in England squad' - never thought I'd see the day. He's been great though. Always been an underrated player.

[Psychotic]

They're winning games you'd expect them to lose (Utd, City, Chelsea) and I think that'll be enough to see them pip us to 6th unfortunately.

On the contary, Liverpool always do well against the top teams. (apart from Arsenal, that usually ends in a draw, although naturally I am hoping tomorrow ends in Liverpool victory so that I may chase charliepanayi around the forums for the next six months ) It's the WBAs and Fulhams of this world that you should expect Liverpool to lose to.

Would be nice to see City finally win a trophy after all these years.

[Heath]

I was just thinking of recent form aside from the WBA game, but you'll know better than I do. Where do you reckon you'll finish?
