FA Cup

So I didn't get to see the game I wanted to, Man Utd vs Arsenal, but I did see one hell of a match between Liverpool and Championship side Barnsely. Injury time winner for Barnsley at Anfield to send Liverpool out of the Cup. Awesome. This is a team in the bottom half of the division below the Premiership, taking out one of the world's big clubs. This is why the FA Cup rules.

Top that off with a 4-0 thrashing of Arsenal by Man U, and it was a great day for football. At least for me. If Chelsea had lost it would have been the hat trick. I'm just guessing Man U and Chelsea will get drawn in the quarterfinals. We'll see.

Man Utd sign Hargreaves

The midfield is beginning to look pretty formidable. Hargreaves, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Ronaldo -- that's pretty much All-World right there, and one of those 5 wouldn't even get a start in the traditional 4-4-2. Now, how about some help at the back and a strike partner for Wayne Rooney? Get rid of Saha for starters, and I wouldn't lose much sleep if John O'Shea went bye -bye as well. Should be an interesting transfer season. Only 3 months to go until the Premiership resumes (please Lord, let it be in Hi-Def this year...).
