Liverpool 2014-15: Now Is Time On Merseyside When We Dance

[SoxFanInCali]

The 4th round draw is actually happening prior to the game, so we will know who Liverpool will face should they win.
 
The Dons have a 32 year old 5'11" 225 pound striker named Adebayo Akinfenwa that can bench press around 400 lbs.  Needless to say, he appears to be a cult hero to the local fans.

Unlike customers of Comcast, AT&T, and TW, Verizon FiOS customers do not get access to Fox Sports GO.
 
Dammit.
 
Edit: No team sheets yet, but Suso must be out since he captained the U21s today.

If you're trying to watch on a computer, use Google Chrome, install the ZenMate extension then you can watch on the BBC website. 

 

[DLew On Roids]

And the winner of Wimbledon-Liverpool gets Bolton at home.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And the captain gets the Reds on the board.
 
The final this year falls on his 35th birthday...just sayin'.

 

[JayMags71]

So, no one else is concern about Lollana?

I was just coming here to mention him. Had to do a double take when I first saw him.

I'd be less concerned if we could ever figure out when Sturridge will be back.

 

[JayMags71]

Anyone see this before the match?
PS: NSFW

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Wimbledon seem to have finally figured out that if they just put a high ball into the box, there's a pretty good chance they will get an opportunity.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And the winner of Wimbledon-Liverpool gets Bolton at home.

And in a complete shocker, Man United got Cambridge United, the lowest-ranked team left in the draw.

 

[Investor 11]

And the big man equalizes it 1-1

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Who didn't see that coming?

 

[SocrManiac]

I realize Mignolet is shit on crosses, but that was a serious foul on that fat fuck.

 

[swiftaw]

And in a complete shocker, Man United got Cambridge United, the lowest-ranked team left in the draw.

Actually, until their tie against Yeovil yesterday they'd had a string of something like 9 straight FA Cup matches against premier league teams. Their last non-premier league matchup was the 5th round tie in 2010-11 against Crawley Town.

Since they weren't in the Champions League this year, they had to get their easy draws somewhere.

Oh, and Fox Sports Go sucks.  This is like watching 10 red blobs float around the screen with 10 blue blobs.

I think it's more the camera at Kingsmeadow, I've watched other Wimbledon games online from there and this is probably the clearest feed I've seen. 
 
 
edit meadow, not borough, yikes.

The actual feed from Fox's site is crap for me.  Even the graphics are blurred.
 
I'm guessing that a bunch of people have jumped on with the news the game is tied, because now it's buffering every 30 seconds for me.  I'm on a connection that gets 50 mbps up and down, so it's definitely on their side.

 

[Luis Taint]

Gerard with his second

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And Gerrard is like "fuck this, just give me a free kick".

 

[Investor 11]

Nice strike by Gerrard. 2-1

 

[DJnVa]

Wimbledon jerseys have Football Manager across the front. Nice.

Yeah, they've been their sponsor for quite a while.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Yeah, they've been their sponsor for quite a while.

Yep, ever since the club was founded, even when they were in the 9th division or wherever they started.

 

[DJnVa]

Clearly I don't see them play all that often.

Considering my feed just died you're totally right. 

 

[SoxFanInCali]

I think the only time I saw them on TV prior to today was their first matchup against the old Wimbledon (MK Dons).

They are hilarious to play with on FIFA, Akinfenwa's strength rating is 96

 

[Infield Infidel]

I've watched probably 8 or so matches. There was the playoffs a few year back to get into League 2, the MK Dons match last season, and a cup match against Millwall. 
 
I'm rather fond of them. Since I like Newcastle, AFC Wimbledon are my aspirational team.

Yeah, I have kept an eye on them ever since they were founded, and pretty much go out of my way to criticize MK Dons (except when they blew out Man U earlier this year).  It's a great story how they were founded, and someday they may actually advance above Milton Keynes.

 

[Luis Taint]

Is their anyway to see league 1&2 in America ? this has been a pretty fun match.

 

[DLew On Roids]

The BBC feed is quite clear.

 

[DLew On Roids]

Feel free to make the extra pass, Lazar.

I just looked him up on Futhead, and (in addition to being super-expensive), there's a whole list of Chuck Norris-type jokes in the comments.

[SoxFanInCali]

If it wasn't for having to worry about fixture congestion, I wouldn't have begrudged Wimbledon getting an equalizer and earning a replay.  A game at Anfield would have been very memorable for them, and completely transformed their finances.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And guess who is waiting in the next round...

This is the first time I've seen them on a feed that wasn't shady

Excellent, we get to take bets on how many times Heskey falls over in the final third. You could hear the sadness in Danny Murphy's voice doing the colour commentary, when he was talking about Gerrard. Can't he change his mind. He really is their best friggin player. What's he gonna do in LA, that's not his city.

He could always do a Lampard, claim he's going the U.S. and then not go.

I cried.

[DLew On Roids]

That could go in Football Central as an example of solid downfield blocking.

 

[soxfan121]

Good technique; hands inside the shoulders, not fully extended, hand placement a little off, good vision (already looking for his next block). But the footwork is atrocious.

 

[DLew On Roids]

Sad news: After 4 1/2 years with Liverpool, apparently the breakout star of Being: Liverpool, Dr. Zaf Iqbal, has left the club.
 
I've made a tribute video to remember his time with the club.

Fantastic. Would have also accepted this as audio (skip to 2:42)

Dude, you have too much time in your hands! Well done.

Interesting write-up on Liverpool's supposed target Argentinian Ezequiel Lavezzi ..
 
https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/pitchside-europe/ezequiel-lavezzi--what-would-liverpool-get-for-%C2%A38m-153016565.html
 
Summarizing, he's basically a fast creative forward who has trouble scoring ..
 
(Kind of sounds like Suarez's early rep)
