Stupid ball Moyes admitted that his side didn't exploit the specialised FA Cup ball as well as his opponents. The Umbro-manufactured ball, different to the one used in the Premiership, seemed to prove problematic for goalkeeper Tim Howard, as two long-range strikes from Morten Gamst Pedersen caused him problems for the first two goals. Blackburn manager Mark Hughes revealed that his players had worked on exploiting the "unpredictable" nature of the ball and Moyes said: "I spoke to a couple of people about how the ball was moving and I think that did contribute. "It was swerving about a bit and maybe it was something we didn't notice quite as much. "I think Tim should have saved the free-kick because I'm not convinced it was in the corner of the net."

Isn't he suspended? And what about Van Persie?

Rumours in Spain that Real Madrid have offered 40 million euros for Placcy.

Don't think so. Where did you hear that?

And Fabregas is suspended as well isn't he?

Alreayd getting friendly with our players. Welcome Thierry.

The odds on him coming have dropped to 20/1 on Betfred. Silly season gone wild!!

It's obviously Thierry Henry. Thank you Softlad.

Maybe he's just a really really big Bolton fan.

Of course he still wishes he had signed for Liverpool. He's at Bolton.

There's your new signature right there.

Speaking of sendings off, why wasn't Faye dismissed today for squaring up to Poll and then kicking the ball away?

You don't win anything with kids.

Pennant Kuyt Finnan

He's not good enough to play regularly for us and he's probably not prepared to be fourth choice again. Don't think there's any chance of him coming back.

Bellamy's finish was brilliant. The way he waited shows confidence.

I've seen him a couple of times. Haven't been all that impressed, but again, he's only 18. Doesn't look anywhere as good as Messi though which was who he was compared to when we were linked. But took his goal well last night.

The brilliant Kevin Lisbie?

Agreed. And just imagine the entertainment with him and Moratti and the same club. It's be complete madness.

One thing the fans will have noticed is your tattoos. What?s on them? They're just tattoos. Alright then. Next question.

Didn't he score an own goal against West Ham in last year's FA Cup as well?

Anyone in a red shirt that is. Did El Zhar even touch the ball? Thought he was very anonymous. Can't blame him though.

Real Madrid must regret not getting him instead of Gravesen. Was just what they needed at the time.
