Ye Olde FA Cup 2021

This Rupp character is very far out of his depth

Also, Pukki needs to be given the curly finger for his own good here.

I’d say yer man Romero hasn’t actually handled the ball in this whole game.

Mctominay and Fred are brutal to see the danger

He just picked the ball from his own net . :grinning:

Absolutely top class tracking back by Bruno Fernandes there. He busted his ass to cover Williams.

Kamikaze stuff from Norwich there. Comical

Didsy. He’s playing very well

Lovely Zidane esque spin in the build up to the goal

I had to rub my eyes. His first touch is top drawer to be fair to him

If and when City score here, they’ll hit 3 or 4.

Who’s made it to the last 4 of the Cup? Any Romance of the Cup stories this season?

The 4 Premier League teams with the best records are in the semi finals. No romance this year.

That’s the Big Four of the EPL era with 25 of 28 EPL titles? They have 22 of 27 FA Cups in EPL era too, now a guaranteed 23 of 28.

Thanks goodness for Liverpool providing the romance in the EPL this season.

Good to see the big clubs still taking the cup seriously

Who’s left in it?

Chelsea, Arsenal and the two Manchester clubs. There’s a common complaint on the mainland usually on 3rd round weekend that the big clubs in the EPL don’t take it seriously anymore so I think this semi final line up ridicules that notion. Liverpool would be there but rightly focused on bigger things.

Outside of my own club of choice Liverpool, I’d be happy to see Spurs get over the line and win some silverware in the next few seasons.

The issue is that the smaller teams don’t take it seriously either and the bigger teams have better depth than the smaller teams so will win anyway

If club’s land in a quarter final they should take it serious… But there’s just so many games for CL teams you couldn’t go all in early doors like midtable club’s like utd do. Ole is probably under biggest pressure of those 4 club’s to deliver. They’ll be all out to secure a win for him.

Man Yoo sacked Van Gaal minutes after winning an FA Cup but I’d more or less agree there
