"For a long time the Anfield side seemed to be jinxed in the FA Cup. They lost their first three semi-finals, two back in the Nineteenth Century and one in 1906 to Everton of all clubs. In 1914 they made it to the final tie for the first Cup Final attended by a reigning monarch but George V saw them lose to Burnley in a dour affair.

Burnley also beat them in the semi-final in 1947 but in 1950 Liverpool got to their second final, this time removing Everton in the last four. It was another disappointment as Arsenal won 2-0. Not until Bill Shankly’s arrival did they get back to the semis and in 1963 came another defeat in the last four."

Didn't work very well against Birmingham though 7-0

lol, i still stay at 1-1, we will beat them 6-0 in the replay.

They managed by an ex manc, what did you expect 

Plus one was an own goal, and the 5th was offside, that changed the course of the game    (anyone who takes this litterally, go and hang your head in shame now)

its a  "B" so 1-1.

sorry that what i was told by an old boy when i was standing on the Kop in the late 80's

he said to me that if the team starts with a B in the FA cup we will draw or they will beat us.

I suppose that answers the question will we beat Blackpool then 

Do you know what Saint talkin about Blackpool thats were the team went for the weekend  before we played Milan didnt do them any harm there id take them there again tonight after the game

[Redman in wales]

Sami Hyypia returns to partner Jamie Carragher at the heart of the Liverpool defence for this afternoon's FA Cup fifth round clash at home to Barnsley. 
Meanwhile, Dirk Kuyt and Peter Crouch lead the line.
 
The Liverpool team in full is:

                    Itandje

Finnan     Hyypia  Carragher   Riise 

Benayoun  Lucas    Alonso     Babel

               Crouch   Kuyt.

Subs: Martin, Arbeloa, Kewell, Gerrard, Pennant.


a very strong team for Barnsley at home

[NANNY RED]

Bloody hell here we go slatin time 

[The_Rock]

confirmed line up.........

                          Charles Itandje
Steve Finnan  Jamie Carragher  Sami Hyypia   John Arne Riise
Yossi Benayoun  Lucas Leiva  Xabi Alonso  Ryan Babel
                 Peter Crouch  Dirk Kuyt

Subs: Martin, Arbeloa, Kewell, Gerrard, Pennant

Will kuyt continue his goaless record against barnsley 

[account deleted by request]

I think Kuyt will score today in a 3-0 win. Benayoun has a good record against the cr@ppier sides so he should get one as well, with Lucas smashing another one in to finish them off.

[tubby]

Should be a routine win for us today. I predict - 4-0.
