FA CUP action from Harry's @ CHIJMES.

folks folks folks, i can tell u, this non-league side Havant & dun know wat.. scares the bloody s**t outta me.. Benitez nearly shot his backside with his line-up. a host of first-teamers on the bench which includes Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard, FernandoTorres, Dirk Kuyt.

its clear that he underestimate this group of part-timers which includes cab driver, rubbish collector and teacher. i tell u man, im completely furious when H&W took the lead.. not once but twice.... goodness.. if Liverpool was playing Man United, would Benitez DARED to play such a line-up?

both goals conceded was from a corner and idiotic defending by Steve Finnan. Skrtel, being his first start for the REDS. looks nervous with his schoolboy defending. Ryan Babel, for first 15-20mins or so... keep losing possession though he found his footing after that. on the flanks together with Pennant. Javier Mascherano, think he's best at intercepting passes rather than taking rugby shots. i would hate to see him go. hope his permanent move settle quickly...

However, H&W should be given credit for taking the game against a side 6 divisions above them. it could have been more if their goalkeeper wasn't quick enough. parring away 2 shots which could have gone into his net.

watching "live" from Harry's bar, new hangout for REDS supporters. saw the notice on BPL Stomping Ground. glad to have my pretty companion accompany me to watch the game. some notable pics taken from EAST OF ANFIELD, which they named.
