I watched the BBC highlights this morning and also judging by the statistics, City could/should have won by a far bigger scoreline.

Leeds Utd 1 - 1 Plymouth Argyle

Probably the worst possible result after being outplayed for most of the game.

We now have to play a replay, which might result in injuries and suspensions, and is just 1 more fixture that we could do without. I'd rather see resources dedicated to Championship survival this season.
Championship Stoke City 3 - 0 Plymouth Argyle :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

You should blame Mr Randell for scoring the equaliser!!

I'm amazed they actually completed the match. Unfortunately this was not the only match in England effected by brainless thuggery - Hartlepool vs York City, a "fan" running on to the pitch at Port Vale to aggressively confront the referee amongst others. Hopefully things are not heading back to the bad times of the not-too-distant-past. :roll:

Plymouth’s journey is over so BB can get some comfort from the fact that there were no bookings (not sure about injuries) so they can now concentrate on league survival, (they look reasonably comfortable at the moment)!!

Yes, I'm glad I opted for unnecessary beauty sleep, as opposed to watching the game live at silly o'clock. Happy with the result.

Where are all our Chelsea supporters - I’d have expected to hear them crowing after a rare top-end performance in beating Villa 3-1 in what Pooch describes as their best performance of the season!!

I forgot to do predictions for the replay, wasn't really thnkking that was a requirement.

Chelsea were in great form last night, I stayed up to watch it. Makes you wonder where that performance has been hiding? And whether they will rinse and repeat against Palace on Monday? The jury is still out.

Just as a heads up for those in the Prediction League, 5th Round matches begin tonight with Coventry vs Maidstone and continuing over Tuesday and Wednesday :thumb:
