Liverpool, Man United and Arsenal all roughly 3-1 to win it at this point. United and Arsenal will be slight favorites if they go through tomorrow.Assuming none of those three lose to an "other" team, the favorite that avoids the other favorites until the final has a big leg up.

Don't sell Bradford City short. Huge fans in my household.

 
Doumbia gets his first ASR start alongside Gervinho. Roma desperately needs something to shake them out of their winter doldrums; hopefully this injection of pace will suffice...Forza Ivory Coast, I guess.

 
So after Wenger announces his top priority is the 4th place trophy and that he is concerned about the health of Sanchez, guess who is starting against Middlesbrough? :loco:

As grumbly as Barca fans have been (myself included) for the club adding more attacking firepower when the defense still wasn't as good as it could be...there's something to be said for a transcendent attacking player that can create a goal out of almost nothing.

....and that something is: MAGESTERIAL!!!!

 
### #### Atlético lost 2-0 to Celta and by all accounts looked decidedly crappy. No Koke, no Arda... Those are creative motors of the team. I doubt we'll see Griezmann, Torres, and Mandzukic starting together again this season.

Atlético is still 7 back from Madrid, and 6 back from Barça, despite them beating Madrid twice this year. Those teams simply don't drop points to mid level teams, even on the road.

 
FA Cup Draw:

Liverpool v Blackburn Rovers

Bradford City v Reading

Preston NE/Manchester United v Arsenal

Aston Villa v West Bromwich Albion

Well that about sucks for United and Arsenal fans.

ETA assuming United advances today vs Preston.

Awesome break for Liverpool. Home game. Dodged United/Arsenal this round. Chances of missing the "other two" in the next round in the next round went from 1/3rd to 2/3rds. Dream draw.

ETA: now listed as the favorites, just better than 2:1

Watching United on my phone at work, so not seen all of it. But what I have seen in the 1st Half:

Rooney up top with Falcao and already have seen more runs in behind the defense.

Fellaini still cant win a header over smaller opponents.

I like Herrera, ADM, Blind through the midfield. Mata or Januzaj would be an upgrade over Fellaini

They seem to be moving quicker at times but still not attacking with speed outside ADM. Valencia and Shaw on the outside of the Def has speed to get forward and back.

Need to get it done in the 2nd half so they can host Arsenal next round.

Has Di Maria been playing this deep all season?

at times. When LVG doesnt stick him up top he does drop a bit. usually its rooney playing deep.

OMG... the keeper was looking at Rooney, waiting for him to play the ball. Ruling that he's out of the play is a horrible interpretation.

surprised me as well, guess him not moving toward the ball or doing anything but a fellaini tall oak impersonation fooled the ref?

 
Obviously that's what they ruled, but the keeper shouldn't be required to know who can play the ball and who can't. The ball damn near hit Rooney.

Dowd wasted no time making up for it though, by not sending Davies off.

was just saying the same thing. Poor

Although that is United's 2nd PK this season. yeah, only their 2nd. Not that I am defending diving (Im not, its BS) just saying. And their first was last league game.

I'd be ok with Man U never getting another PK as long as I live, but maybe that's just me. :D
