the 3rd round is almost complete, I think it's just crawley v derby and hereford v someone left. Would be great to see crawley vs torquay in the 4th round.

Man U and Liverpool provide a match short on quality and high on nigglyness. Gerrard is shown a deserved red, Berbatov wins a home crowd penalty. No messianic return for the dishevelled Scottish tramp man, yet.

Spurs and Chelsea comfortably through, Arsenal and Man City face annoying and tricky replays.

Stevenage continue to be the most popular non-league team around but disappoint their manager by only winning 3-1 instead of 5-0.

I haven't seen the Diouf incident. Would like to think that even he wouldn't stoop so low, but wouldn't be particularly surprised.

some tasty incidents after stoke cardiff, resulting in a hospitalised policeman. Next season could be 'fun' if cardiff get promoted.

what else?
