Ben Woodburn is 17 and playing in the FA Cup at Anfield. I'm 14 and I'm stuck in here posting dog memes. It's a shit business.

Moreno being Liverpool's dedicated free-kick taker is proof that you really can blag anything in life if you just have enough confidence.

Meanwhile, "?"?Spurs beat Championship side Aston Villa 2-0 at White Hart Lane. The match, which was refereed by cult hero Mike Dean, looked to be heading for a draw, but two late Tottenham Hotspur goals ensured the north London club's progression...

Wish there was a 'Ref Cam' similar to the old Sky Sports 'Player Cam' so we could all watch only Mike Dean for 90 minutes.

Worth remembering that Gabby Agbonlahor has THREE senior caps for England.

Gives hope for us all. pic.twitter.com/AqOa2g2DTI

Gabby Agbonlahor still doesn't know who tapped him on the shoulder...https://t.co/cHuEw8MErc

"?"?

Gary Lineker has just called Janssen a 'poor man's Soldado'. The dude should just pack his bags and go home now. Doesn't get much worse

"?"?

I bet Janssen could kick himself. Probably fucking miss tho.... #COYS

Vincent Janssen always looks like his legs have grown about two inches overnight and he's not sure what to do with them

Janssen reminds me of someone but I can't quite put my finger on it... #EmiratesFACup pic.twitter.com/LzBdM5Vb5b

Jack Grealish has started the second half well. The rascal. pic.twitter.com/kupir0oYEM

"?"?

It's taken 65 minutes to notice Gabriel Agbonlahor is:

1) Still a footballer
2) On the pitch
3) Still shit


This game has got a Mike Dean 90th minute screamer written all over it... pic.twitter.com/fxTPkCiUHL


Villa fans singing 'Champions of Europe you'll never sing that'. Pretty true of both North London clubs in fairness.

A quiet but efficient performance from Mike Dean today. Only the cup but he's done enough to suggest he warrants a place in Spurs' first XI.


Elsewhere, Chelsea disposed of Peterborough United 4-1, although a returning John Terry was sent off, much to Twitter users' joy...

Oh dear... #CFC #JohnTerry pic.twitter.com/bKzNjtzCLH

John Terry sent off. Chelsea players will be foregoing the post match shower to rush home to their wives before it's too late.

John Terry sent off for Chelsea. Any excuse to post this amazing GIF ? #CFC pic.twitter.com/jUH1rnCUYV

John Terry has now had 2 red cards in his last 6 starts... #EmiratesFACup pic.twitter.com/ZZ576YnK8v

"?"?

John Terry has been sent off for Chelsea. I have no idea what happened, but I reckon it was richly deserved.

"?"?

Ola Aina on for Cahill. Three Academy players on for Chelsea, so Vitesse can get a good look at their future loanees

"I'm going to tell Batshuayi he's the best striker at the club, then buy Llorente and never play him again!"
