Liverpool versus... who?

[stogie bear]

Liverpool rallies past plumbers, taxi drivers!

LONDON - Yossi Benayoun scored three goals to help Liverpool rally to beat the amateurs of Havant and Waterlooville 5-2 to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday and avoid the biggest upset in the competition's 136-year history.

Havant, which had plasterers, taxi drivers and refuse collectors in its squad at Liverpool's Anfield, twice took the lead in the first half against pros who earn up to $200,000 a week.

The Reds fans were stunned by Richard Pacquette's eighth minute header and, after Brazilian midfielder Lucas replied, a shot from Alfie Potter that was deflected in by the home team's Martin Skrtel.

Languishing six leagues and 123 places below Liverpool in English soccer's hierarchy, the Hawks couldn't hang on.

Benayoun equalized in the final minute of the first half, added two more in the second and Peter Crouch tapped in the fifth goal in the 90th.

 You would have loved it in my pub (Red pub) allstar, there were a few "bluenoses" who had been watching the City game when suddenly the lounge was covered in blown up balloon's, there was at least a 100 of them
Someone had only gone to the shop and bought them.
Got to admit it was "hilarius" just wished I had a pic of it
