Hi

What a tremedous FA Cup 3rd around tie. A few shocking results which one of it is Man city losing to Nottingham forest 3-0. Mark hughes might be in hot soup now, although he had brought a few quality players including Robinho, but he can't make them play together, they now are at the bottom half of the table which I, or rather many pundits or fans would be suprised by it. Man city's striker Jo had not convinced us that he is a quality striker, only robinho and SWP had shown that they worth the value. Man city had linked with many star playes, like Kaka, Fabregas, C.Ronaldo, Arteta, and now there are linked with Parker, bellamy. Even if they had broght them, they won't be producing the results, because buying the right player is more important than buying star player. What now Man city need is to brought a quality midfielder and a quality defender. they had brought wayne bridge from Chelsea and solved the left-back drought.

Arsenal 3-1 Plymouth
Southampton 0-3 Man Utd
Liverpool 2-0 Preston
Chelsea 1-1 Southend

Only Chelsea had been forced to play a re-match on 24/25 Jan, other than that, the other traditional big four had successfully gone to 4th round. Arsenal had face last season FA cup finalist Cardiff City. Man Utd had face Tottenham at Old Trafford and lastly, Merseyside Derby between Liverpool and Everton. Chelsea had face Ipswich town.
