Chelsea vs Tottenham/Bolton

Liverpool vs Everton/Sunderland

If Spurs and Everton go through, that is two very tasty semifinals. TBH, I think Spurs and Sunderland will win.

Assuming Everton do go through, I knew we'd get Liverpool. Presumably a 1 in 3 chance of a potential merseyside semi draw, but I would have stuck my house on it happening. [/tinfoil hat]

They must have spent about 10% of the time chanting support for their own team and the other 90% booing Suarez and going through the usual, tired catalogue of 'humorous' anti-L'pool songs.

Classy.

I thought it was funny because Stoke and the EDL get on pretty well.

Aha, you're really not helping. The speed at which Liverpool have gone from the underachieving team no-one really cares about to supervillains is astounding. You should embrace it.

Marseille are losing 1-0 in the French Cup to Quevilly, a team from the Championnat National (third division basically) in a game being played at Caen because Quevilly's stadium only holds 2500. I love the French Cup, you get tiny teams getting really far quite often.

What do you mean not helping? Not helping what? Aren't we allowed to stand up for ourselves? Every LFC fan act the nice guy and take any abuse on chin to suck up to other fans......er no, fuck that, if that means were super villains then that's fine

Aye, it's structured to give lower league sides an advantage - if there's a gap of two or more divisions between sides, the lower league side is always nominally the home team.

It'll be hard to beat Racing Calais' run to the final in 2000 though, when they beat both Strasbourg and Bordeaux before losing to a last minute Nantes winner in the final after having taken the lead. Not bad for an amateur side in the fourth level.

Another reason to love it is the vast scope - the FA Cup usually has about 750 entrants. The Coupe de France has ten times that, and also includes teams from five of the six footballing continents - Martinique and Guadeloupe from North America, French Guiana from South (although they're CONCACAF members), Mayotte Réunion from Africa, and French Polynesia and New Caledonia from Oceania. Asia doesn't have a French department, so it just falls short of completing the set.

Abuse? It's a genuinely witty, funny chant that isn't abusive in any way.

You Suarez guys are hilarious. Whatever happened to that Scouse sense of humour?

Yup, I posted earlier in the thread about RS Paris who had a bit of a trip for their tie in an earlier round, away in Tahiti.

You're a card, aren't you?

Another genuinely witty, funny line about the scouse sense of humour. They keep coming.

Chanting about someone being a racist isn't abusive?

Cut it pretty fine today but Juventus are still unbeaten this season; Drew 2-2 AET with AC tonight in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi, and are now through to the final! Derby d'Italia this weekend, after the biggest ever away win at Fiorentina last weekend hopefully they can keep the goalscoring up. Vucinic seems to have awoken from his slumber just in time to make the run-in interesting :D

:lol:

You're priceless. You think opposing fans should not mention Suarez's conviction for using racist language then? Should everyone let it slide, and not rib him at all? Did you just start following football a couple of weeks ago or something? Jesus wept.
