Liverpool v Reading, ITV now

[Barrel of Fun]

BOLLOCKS. I wanted Liverpool away in the next round

.

Don't you see what this means?

Two of the traditional top four are out. Beat Villa and we stand a better chance of lifting the trophy than we have done since 1983.

Exactly. Lesser of the two evils tonight.

Bollocks to that Barrel, there is something terribly "soccerball" about Reading.

It's almost as if their very existence is the product of a focus group.

With the big teams already knocked out?! I want to beat Villa, beat Liverpool and beat them all!

I do see what you are saying. The days of Elm Park and fans rattling around. 'Top Four' shirts all over the new stadium.

I have a great hate of Reading. They were extremelylucky to snag a millionaire that seemed to care, but one could question his taste after the pursual of Priscilla White. I was inb direct competition with a hockey striker at Uni and he happened to be a plastic Reading fan. He was insistant that they were much better than us, despite only taking ONE POINT and finishing below us in the league. By god that 2-1 victory (a rare awayday) was sweet!

But my dislike for Liverpool usurps that.

I can't imagine they'd be showing all the highlights from last night if they weren't having problems. How did you hear about the problems, just out of interest like.

Twitter.

Speaking of Twitter, you know Benitez is under pressure when he's a trending topic!

Blimey - the cameras were tight on the pitch at St James's Park. Was anyone there ?

Exeter ?

 

[shoreham moonraker]

f***ing typical, first time i have wanted the scousers to win all season. Their fans will have to bin there top 4 shirts for royals ones tomorrow.

Heard rumours about major tech problems at the ITN studios, so the extra-time must have come as a relief.

The fact that Townstend and co are STILL wittering on, suggests they haven't been fixed!

I'd DO Julie Etchingham.

That is all.

What they forgot to add is that viewers in London were then treated to a regional news bulletin...

.. from another region.

Sussex viewers of Meridian News will empathise with you there...we frequently tune in to our regional news bulletin only to find we seem to be receiving Hampshire stories only....

I can understand how annoying that is now.

For a few moments it was refreshing, but stories about cows stuck in holes and viewers being asked to ring in vote for their favourite cake simply confuses people in London.
