Accrington's "wham" stadium is a prime spot for some high scoring Rooneys, be very easy to lift a shot out of the ground here.

It's frustrating that ESPN+ has the cups now. I'm not subscribing to another service for eight channels of competitive bowling and college hackysack championships just to see a few weekends of the FA Cup.

Can probably vpn to pick up the bbc iPlayer for some of todays games, not sure if itvx can be tunnelled to that way for the late one.

Leeds find the first goal without ever really having to up the tempo much. They've been making Accrington do all the running without ever really being under threat.

Sadly, not one of my sports, although I have nothing negative to say about it nor anybody that enjoys it. It just doesn't "click" for me.

For the last couple weeks, the Rangers and Islanders have been "blacked out in my area." I live in Baltimore.

On the one hand, I live far enough away from my team to avoid a blackout.  OTOH, my team is the Canucks, aka the Everton of the NHL at the moment.

You weren't kidding.  That is a very wee stadium.  At least Leeds are showing they are a Premier League side.

I'm sorry Harley. They're a total shiatshow.

/I shouldn't be blacked out, something's wonky with my ESPN (or possibly but less likely Verizon), where they think I live in New York.

Bolton had several chances to put it out of reach and didn't capitalize.  Consequently, they almost gave up the equalizer right at the end.

Okay, that is really bizarre.  IDK which side to blame, but I'm more likely to find fault with the ISP.

Long delay at the Fulham v Sunderland game, looks to be a bad ankle injury to a Sunderland player.

Saints find a goal against Blackpool.

And delays at Luton as the game had to be stopped cause the sprinkler system came on.

Magic of the cup.

You think your club has had a bad week?  Just spare a thought for my Aberdeen FC.

--lost 5-0 to Hearts
--lost 1-0 to sixth-tier Darvel in the Scottish Cup, the first SPL team EVER to lose to a non-league side
--lost 6-0 to Hibs this morning
--sacked manager Jim Goodwin before he could do his post-match interview

At least there's nowhere to go but up...right?

Back from one of the most comfortable wins Bristol City have had for quite some time. Two excellent strikes from Sam Bell and Alex Scott, combined age 39. Very nearly a hat-trick from Bell if not for the keeper coming out.

West Brom looked even more toothless than after Bruce's sacking, and seeing how far they've come since then (23rd to 5th in the Champ) that was a surprise.

Preston/Spurs up next.

Kulusevski with the strike, but it's blocked for a corner.

To say Sours were poor in that first half is a huge understatement.  They had less than nothing because they aren't playing the counterattacking game.  If they have to fight their way through the Preston back line, they have no chance of scoring because the creativity just isn't there.
