Come on King Kenny!

Even if Roy is still in charge, I can't see Liverpool being relegated. Your reasonably good home form would most likely be enough to keep you guys up.

With Kenny Dalglish in charge now, it will definitely be interesting to see what happens tomorrow

Still, we've lost nine from 20 and we're closer to relegation than the top five. Relegation was always a threat if we kept losing. As weird as it sounds thats the fact.

Excited for tonight! King Kenny

Berbatov is a cheating scumbag.

Berbatov is a cheating scumbag.

How? Whilst he might have gone down easily, it is the laws of the game as a non-contact sport. As ITV said there was no reason why the guy had to lunge in like that and make any sort of contact when he had Berbatov in the best position possible.

Not cheating, just not fair play.

 

[mattfb]

Very proud of the lads. Welcome back King Kenny.

 

[treva]

It was a dive. He's a cheat.

Yeah berba is a flinging piece of ████ . Great show by our boys . Proud of Kenny and Pool .
Obviously disappointed of the fact the referee did not help our cause in taking the game to Anfield where we would have lambasted them out of the cup . Take a bow Webb , for a wonderful game of refereeing , Hail UNITED's 12th man

Yeah and Berbatov then even went on to say he didn't dive. Congrats Berbatov on your lessons learned from Alex Ferguson!

Anyway, a couple of interesting draws in the FA Cup 4th Round:

Sheffield Wednesday v Wycombe/Hereford
West Ham v Nottingham Forest
Aston Villa v Blackburn (AGAIN!? )
Stevenage v Reading
Notts County v Leicester/Man City
Doncaster/Wolves v Stoke/Cardiff
Birmingham v Coventry
Burnley v Burton
Swansea v Leyton Orient
Southampton v Manchester United
Everton v Chelsea/Ipswich (A not so kind draw for us. )
Fulham v Tottenham
Arsenal/Leeds v Huddersfield
Bolton v Wigan
Watford v Brighton
Torquay United v Crawley Town/Derby

Fulham v Spurs, Everton v Chelsea and Villa v Blackburn will be shite. Screw all EPL ties.

Arsenal/Leeds v Huddersfield and Hammers v Forest will go well.

I've lost count already on how many times Aston Villa have played Blackburn since 2010 till now.

Arsenal(if they beat Leeds) and Man United got a rather easy draws. No disrespect to Huddersfield and Southampton of course.

 

[Ollie_H]

How in anyway was it a dive? Yes he went down easily, but that is a different to diving.

 

[mattfb]

Meh, United would of nipped a goal anyway. They had us on the ropes for periods in the second half and they could of attacked further.

Yeah, hope Leeds get up. Huddersfield's goalkeeper is immense so you never know.

 

[JBlues08]

GREAT! We are demolishing Ipswich at the Bridge and they are not even showing it LIVE!!!

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Lol the number of people that resort to saying stuff like Webb was on Utds side is ridiculous. Stop being such sore losers!

I don't think it was a dive, and it doesn't matter anyway because it was a foul anyway. It wasn't a hard foul but it was a foul nonetheless. Agger should be blamed for being stupid enough to do that in the first place. As should Gerrard for a totally reckless and unnecessary foul.

Liverpool were the better side in the first half, pressing well and making use of midfield advantage. They should blame their own players for putting the team in such a position with the pen and red.

Martin Kelly was absolutely fantastic. How he didn't win MOTM is beyond me:
