FA Cup 4th Round

United are through to the next round after a 3-1 win over Tottenham. Don't let the scoreline deceive, Spurs were quite good in the match. It was Robbie Keane who drew first blood after Ferdinand and co. were caught ball watching. Tevez equalize some ten minutes later. Spurs would have taken the lead again since Jenas had two clear one-on-one chances but United were very fortunate that he turns out to be an awful finisher. At the 69th minute, Rooney and Dawson were struggling for the ball and when both men fell in the penalty area, Dawson appeared to have handballed. What was worse is that that handball was seen to be a deliberate since his hand looked to have directed the ball of Rooney's leg and yes, a straight red card. The last goal by Ronaldo was a bit of luck again since the Spurs keeper actually guessed the direction right but it was just unfortunate that the ball rolled past his armpit. This Spurs side is certainly a revitalized side under Ramos. It's very attacking football and one can see that players like Aaron Lennon were causing tremendous problems for the defence particularly Evra.

Boo-boo to Liverpool once again although they won the match 5-2. They were trailing TWICE and I got a little shock when I switched on the TV to see Liverpool going down by 1-2 to a group of part-timers Conference group team. The unlikely hero Yossi scored a hat-trick to save Liverpool the blushes.

Now, Man Utd's next 5th round opponent is - Arse-nal. Woah, what a draw while Chelsea and Liverpool get easy stuff. Well, looks like cup final comes early for the United players! Haha..I think Man Utd got a slight advantage since the fixture is set at Old Trafford :)
