While it’s nice to see my team getting in wins were they were not expected too, this only delays Houlliers inevitable firing. I say get it over with now. That way the new manager has the rest of this season to get the team used to whatever changes he will make, and can hopefully have a serious tilt at the title next season. The only question in my mind is who to replace Houllier with? I’d suggest Villas David O’Leary or Celtics Martin O’Neill.

Tragically I only found out that the match was being broadcast live in the US when it was 20 minutes from the end. So I got to see one of the most ridiculous red cards ever, and a defensive effort that seemed more nerve-wracking than great, but still: Hooray!!

Ahem. Man. U. three points up from Arsenal, seven from Chelsea. Yeah, Wednesday was nice, wasn’t it.

Chris: if you drink to Cheyrou goals set up by Heskey then I predict that you will be dry for the rest of the season ;-) I foresee boring 1-0 and 0-0 struggles all year, but 4th place will prove to be a mirage. Heskey is to goalscoring what Rawls is to movements for social justice. Kewell is your only hope :-p

Congratulations. We seem to be repeating the same bad patch we had over x’mas last season. For all his tactical nous, today Ranieri had no answer to Liverpool’s battling display.

Yank question: why are FA cup matches called “ties”? Very confusing to get BBC emails about “the upcoming Arsenal-Leeds tie”.
