Daily Fail: Liverpool Drop Out of the FA Cup

I guess falling out of trophy competitions have become a bit normal on Merseyside these days. After their embarrassing drop from the Champions League and falling into seventh place in the Premier League, those on the red side of Liverpool clung to the FA Cup like the last remaining light in an otherwise disappointing '09-10 campaign. That light, however, was doused last night at Anfield as Reading were the beneficiaries of a late penalty award in the 92nd minute of extra time and then scored the winner in the 100th minute to seal an improbable win for the fourth from bottom Coca Cola Championship side.

To top it all off both Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres both had to exit the pitch due to injuries. I doubt the fat Spanish waiter can save his team now.
