Got the tickets first thing this morning. The phone lines are rammed and I couldn't get through.. There was even a queue to use the website for 15 minutes so the demand is high! |

I remember, the same time last year, thinking that if Reading got to Wembley, I'd have to fly back to go to the game because it'd be so unlikely that we'd ever do it again in my lifetime... (or too many times anyway), to be on the cusp of doing it again is astonishing. We've been very lucky with cup draws the last two years but even so, it's a great achievement even to make the 1/4 finals. I will definitely be waking up nice and early Saturday morning to watch this live. |

Crystal Palace have sold out of their allocation of tickets for the FA Cup match - no surprise there. |

Today BBC Sport SUN, 06 MAR 2016 PREMIER LEAGUE Crystal Palace 1 - 2 Liverpool A stoppage-time penalty by Christian Benteke gave 10-man Liverpool a dramatic 2-1 win over Crystal Palace. Benteke went down following a challenge by Damien Delaney and got up to coolly score the spot-kick. Palace had led through Joe Ledley's 48th-minute finish and Liverpool's James Milner was sent off for a second yellow card on 62 minutes. A calamitous slip by Palace keeper Alex McCarthy gifted Liverpool their equaliser, scored by Roberto Firmino. The defeat leaves Alan Pardew's men without a win in 12 Premier League matches. Penalty drama at the end The penalty was a sensational end to the match, with Palace boss Pardew hurling his coat to the ground in frustration. Delaney's knee touched Benteke's ankle and referee Andre Marriner, guided by a well-placed assistant official, awarded the match-winning spot-kick. It gave McCarthy the chance to become a hero after his earlier mistake, but Benteke stepped up to end 715 goalless minutes in all competitions. Costly blunder by keeper Palace, the only team without a Premier League victory in 2016, were on target to win after Ledley netted as the ball ping-ponged around the box following a corner. But the error by the recalled McCarthy changed all that. The 26-year-old keeper, back in the Palace side for the first time since September with Wayne Hennessey injured, slid in attempting what seemed a straightforward clearance. But he kicked the ball straight to Roberto Firmino, who accepted the gift by making it 1-1 in the 72nd minute. Liverpool's 10 men on top The win means Liverpool are now up to seventh in the table and just six points behind fourth-placed Manchester City. And they did it by dominating the match after going down to 10 men. They were losing at that stage and it looked like another case of Liverpool's inconsistency after their superb 3-0 midweek win over Manchester City. The stats show they earned it as, despite losing Milner, Liverpool ran further as a team than Palace over the 90 minutes, clocking a collective 113km to their hosts' 111km. Man of the match - Adam Lallana (Liverpool) The stats you need to know Palace have gone 12 Premier League matches without a win (D4 L8), the current longest winless run in the top-flight. Roberto Firmino (11) has scored or assisted more Premier League goals in 2016 than any other player (7 goals, 4 assists). James Milner was sent off in a Premier League game for only the second time in his career (first v WBA in Oct 2012). No Premier League side has scored more goals from corners this season than Crystal Palace (10) - level with Spurs. Christian Benteke ended a run of 715 minutes in all competitions without a goal for Liverpool. What's next? Spirits will be high in the Liverpool camp as they host Manchester United in the first leg of their Europa League tie on Thursday. Their next Premier League match is away to Southampton on Sunday, 20 March. Crystal Palace's sights now turn to their first FA Cup quarter-final final for 21 years. On Friday, they are away to Reading, the only non-Premier League club left in the competition. |
