I went to my grandparents' house for tea on Saturday and channel-hopped because they didn't think they could get ESPN, but they do and in HD and everything, so here are ramblings.
Well then. Lack of Dembas, Tiote and Colo is nice... or, well no. Because Perch. Also, Shola is captain. This, I find bizarre. Quite a few near misses in the first 15-20 minutes, and really the whole first half. Less bizarre. Best does not live up to his name, as per usual. Leon means lion, so no, not really. More mouse.
Commentator mentions 40 year anniversary of Hereford. We discuss throwing things at the telly but decide the insurance wouldn't cover the damage. Commentator is labelled knobby for the duration (but not Nobby because he is awesome). Fortunately he didn't mention a certain ref from another FA cup game against these, because my dad gets scary and bad-tempered when he hears that name.
My notes for this are becoming less coherent as the game progresses because of wine, so if I can't make sense of them I apologise. Apparently it would make sense if I was the same level of drunk as when I wrote it, so I might see if that helps.
Our first corner happened and an inflatable FA cup waved. How friendly. The shot/header/whatever/attempt on goal resulting from it was rubbish though. The inflatable cup might've done better. Or Ranger. No, not Ranger. That would be silly. He's too busy being arrested and stuff for various misdemeanours.
Sparrow should've been sent off for being the first B&HA player to try to break Cabaye's leg. Git. He is not worthy of spuggie-dom, because they're mint.
I can't really write much about the first half, because the odd shot aside, it was rather dull. We have no penetration (lol, it'll be all that booze they supposedly drank) and are too easily stopped.
Random Des Lynam and Trevor Brooking appearance. Auto-spell-check thingy recognises Trevor and Brooking as words but not Des or Lynam. How rude.
Second half. My tea was lovely, as was more wine.
We (Cabaye, I think) made one of theirs bleed. I can't read Baldy Git's name (later on it appeared to be El-Abd), but he was totally asking for a smack in the mouth. (My thoughts were confirmed by constant replays and the threat of FA violent conducting at Cabaye, even though El-wotsit should have had five red cards or something.) We had more wafty shots but it was all rather meh.
Something happened to make us think "Well done Perch". That's twice this season, must be some sort of record.
Their manager and coach are moody gits. Is one of them Poyet or someone?
Oh dear. Williamson deflected someone's shot. Can we do anything to fix it? Well, we immediately got two corners and the commentator informed his viewers that Ameobi (major) is always a threat. Has he seen him play?
I think possibly Brighton have an excitable young fan, but it sounds like a seagull is next to the effects mike. Although apparently there's no such thing as seagulls, so it can't be that.
Subs happened. Ferguson still looks like he needs his mam. It's not quite past his bedtime yet (only seven o'clock at time of subbing) but soon.
Blatant handball denies Cabaye a goal, ref says no penalty, Waddle asks if Trelford Mills is reffing again. That was the first time I've ever seen my dad hear that name without getting scary. Mackem boy says it when he feels like winding him up.
Brighton did some time-wasting after that. Thuggy took about half an hour on a throw-in so a sub happened before the ball got back on the pitch. The ref should've added on more time for that because he was claiming not to be Trelbert, but he didn't so he must be. More time-wasting throw-ins, another injury for Cabaye, and someone's a cheating diver because Guti was definitely nowhere near him, honest ref. Shola would have had a chance, but the defender was feeling very affectionate and gave him a massive spoony hug, and it was Shola anyway, so goal kick and final whistle. Epic fail from the Toon and not great from the ref. I miss people who can score.
Brighton's bloke who got interviewed post-match apparently said it was nice to get the three points after they put Wrexham out in the previous round. If someone awards them three points, can we have their match against those racist scousers?
Look, it's nearly still in sentences!
