LEAGUE CUP
FOREST 3-2 STOKE
LOLLEY LOVERS LIMELIGHT

Forest took a fortunate lead when Adam Federici tried to collect the ball but it hit Ben Osborn and went in the net.
Daryl Murphy doubled the lead with a powerful shot from 18 yards out and Joe Lolley added a third with a low strike.
But Benik Afobe pulled one back from the edge of the penalty area and Saido Berahino bundled in a second from close range but it was not enough for Stoke.
Forest played the last 13 minutes with 10 men after Diogo Goncalves was shown a straight red card for a high challenge on Tom Edwards.

MY OPINION
I think that Forest took their gas of the pedal after leading the game by 3-0 but I do think this is a very serious worry for Stoke. Forest could go far in this competition for certain but Stoke must look at what went wrong.
WEST HAM 8-0 MACLESFIELD
SLIPPY SNODGRASS

Michail Antonio heading home in the 29th minute, before Robert Snodgrass opened his account for West Ham three minutes later.
Seven minutes later it was three, with Lucas Perez also getting of the mark this term with a fine volley, before Ryan Fredericks scored his first goal in four and a half years six minutes after the interval.
Four more goals followed as Angelo Ogbonna (54) Snodgrass (60) and a double (67, 82) from impressive debutant Grady Diangana completed the rout to seal progression to the fourth round in the most emphatic manner.

MY OPINION
This was a match that both sides could learn little about how good their team is but the fact that West Ham are getting used to their new home is a very good thing and I am sure that a result like this will help them do that.
LIVERPOOL 1-2 CHELSEA
HAPPY HAZZARD

Liverpool, who had won all seven games this season, took the lead through Daniel Sturridge's well-executed hooked finish, just minutes after the England international missed a completely open net.
Chelsea levelled the contest through Emerson Palmieri's close-range finish which needed intervention from the video assistant referee (VAR) to check for offside before being awarded.
 Hazzards finish into the far corner with five minutes remaining sealed victory

MY OPINION
This was a game of when the subs were played as Liverpool played them too late to make any kind of a difference but Liverpool can take from this the fact that they can look at Hazzxard and can see a possible way to break him down.
ARSENAL 3-1 BRENFORD
WELLBECK MAKES ARSENAL WELL

Wellbeck headed in Matteo Guendouzi's cross after five minutes before poking home a brilliant move before half-time at Emirates Stadium.
Brentford's Alan Judge curled a superb 20-yard free-kick into the top corner after the break.
Substitute Alexandre Lacazette scored a third for Arsenal in stoppage time.

MY OPINION
I think that the early Arsenal goal changed this game in a big way and maybe if it had not been scored Brentford should have been having more control of the game after that feel Brentford lost it. The must have felt Arsenals quality after losing 2-1 after equalising.
SPURS 2-2 WATTFORD
Spurs win 4-2 on pens
LAMELA KEEPS SPURS GOING

Isaac Success had given Watford the lead, before goals from Alli and Erik Lamela looked to have turned it around, only for Etienne Capoue to force penalties late on.

MY OPINION
This was a lucky win for Spurs of that I have no doubt and I think that they could win this cup if they put a sense of focus on it rather than putting it to the backburner as teams in Europe 7usualy do. It might be the thing that keeps the team together

FA CUP LAST 16 4-3-20

FA CUP LAST 16 PORTSMOUTH O-2 ARSENAL SOKRATES GOT SKILLS Arsenal were fortunate to go into the break a goal up, and it came from an unlikely source as Sokratis controlled a volley into the bottom corner from Reiss Nelson's dangerous cross Nelson created the second shortly after the break, taking on his man on the right before delivering for Nketiah to bundle home from close range https://www.skysports.com/football/portsmth-vs-arsenal/report/423680 MY OPINION Arsenal have not had the best of seasons so far so this might be their only way into Europe. A weakened team can do a go0od job here as for Portsmouth they can now concentrate on whether or not they get promoted    CHELSEA 2-0 LIVERPOOL WILLIAM ADDS TO ANFIELD WOES Mere seconds after making a splendid double-save, one of them from a Willian drive from distance, Adrian has a shocker. Trying to play the ball out from the back, Fabinho loses the ball, gifting Willian a shooting opportunity from about 2...

CONFEDERATIONS CUP GERMANY 4-1 MEXICO GREAT GORETZKA Leon Goretzka scored twice in the opening eight minutes as Germany beat Mexico 4-1 in Sochi to join Chile in the Confederations Cup final. The Schalke midfielder swept home a Benjamin Henrichs pass from 20 yards and then slotted home from Timo Werner's through ball. Werner then tapped home Jonas Hector's pass to increase Germany's lead. Marco Fabian scored a brilliant 35-yard strike for Mexico, before Amin Younes added a fourth for Germany. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40410798 MY OPINION Germany has shown in this competition that they are definitely the team to watch out for in this competition and moving forward. I feel that you cannot call them anything but hot favourites against Chile as they look impressive in world cup qualifying while Chile do not look as impressive . I say Germany 2-0 Chile in final LEDVIA TALIN 0-2 CORK CITY BRILLIANT BUCKLY  Goals from Garr...

ALL IRELAND FINAL REPLAY DUBLIN 1-18 0-15 KERRY MIGHTY MURTUGH An absorbing first half ended with the sides locked at ten points apiece, though in the early exchanges it was all one-way traffic as the blue Dublin wave crashed into the Hill 16 end. After nine minutes they were 0-05 to 0-01 ahead and Paul Mannion dropped one short to keeper Shane Ryan. Such was their dominance at this stage that another point would have put real distance between the sides. Kerry tried route one early on, bombing ball after ball into David Clifford and getting absolutely zero return. Mick Fitzsimons took over the marking duty on Clifford from Jonny Cooper, who played a spare man in defence having been sent off before half-time in the draw. The Kingdom also tried a full-court press on Stephen Cluxton’s early kick-outs early, but the Dubs’ captain, just like the television ad, brings us the wonderful every day and he pinged the ball to his men, drawing appreciative applause from the crowd...
