And here I was thinking I would be returning to work in the building earlier than anticipated. Excuse me while I go back to my couch and extreme laziness.

No Coloccini (inj), and Tiote/Ba/Cisse (CAF) did not help Newcastle today.

Losses against Conference, League 2 and League 1 are unacceptable for any EPL team but the Championship has some very solid sides.

The problem for a club like Newcastle is that they've been more worried about survival in the EPL rather than progression. This year survival is almost guaranteed by now but they were missing 4 starters. Unlike a the larger clubs, Newcastle doesnt have the reserves to replace 4 starters with top quality.

For those who support Liverpool. Great video!

FA Cup 5th Round Draw
1) Liverpool v Brighton
2) Everton v Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday
3) Chelsea v Birmingham City
4) Crawley Town v Stoke City
5) Stevenage v Tottenham Hotspur
6) Norwich City v Leicester City
7) Sunderland or Middlesbrough v Arsenal
8) Millwall or Southampton v Bolton Wanderers

Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham should all see the 6th round.

Arsenal just came back from down 2-nil to tie it. Van Persie penalty, and a bad clearance that bounded off Walcott and into the net. I'll take it.

Fitzy · 01-29-2012, 11:22 AM

3-2 Arsenal.

Absolute magic at the Emirates.

Keane is still gold, btw.

Saugus · 01-29-2012, 11:24 AM

Van Persie sinks another penalty. Oh boy. Villa imploding here.

**PacManNJD** · 01-29-2012, 11:56 AM

Good for Arsenal.

Wonderful.

Come on, you Reds! Bring King Kenny's trophy back to Anfield!

Arsenal's win, along with Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool advancing all make the chances of a 3rd spot opening up for Europa League more likely.

That's Newcastle's only chance of reaching Europe at the moment.

When is the next FA cup fixture likely to be?

Saugus · 01-29-2012, 12:03 PM

Arsenal's comeback pleases me.

Weekend of February 18th.

This means if Tiote and Ivory Coast make it to the finals of the African Cup, he will have 2 weeks before the next EPL game.

I wonder if they'll extend Titi's stay to that game. I think he was supposed to leave after the Milan game on the 15th.

Nothing wrong with that schedule. I like it.

DatBoyJPP · 01-30-2012, 01:52 PM

Not saying anything is wrong with it. Just showing people there is no room to add in a home game
