For the neutral, the Blackpool game was exciting but Forest were poor. Two nil up and they thought they'd won it, very unprofessional for a Premier league team to switch off after 50 minutes.

Would of liked Maidstone to get one of the big boys but slight chance of another upset maybe? Watched the WBA v Wolves match, the start time was at 11.45 to prevent people getting tanked up beforehand. Still kicked off in the stands though, Christ knows what a war zone it would have been at a 3pm start. Black Country? Backward Cuntries more like. Embarrassing.

Chelsea - Leeds is on ITV4 I fancy Leeds assuming they don't field a load of reserves.

I left home half an hour before the end of United - Liverpool intending to avoid the score and watch later so I don't know how it ended but I assume Liverpool won. McCulloch might mention it anyway.
I know City have got Chelsea so it's great it's possibly going to be a City v Liverpool or United final.

FA Cup replays to be scrapped from the first round onwards in 2024-25 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68844583It's becoming harder to retain enthusiasm for football these days. The way it's going I'd be quite happy now for the 'bigger' ( i.e rich ) teams to F*** off to a European Super League.

^^^^^^ Inevitable really. The contempt the FA and the clubs themselves have for the competition is blatant. It's all about being in a higher division and the £££££££.
Is there anything about the 21st century that isn't absolutely awful ?

Man Utd star admits he used 'trick' to win penalty shootout against Coventry Onana, already on a yellow for time-wasting in normal time, received another yellow for trying to put off Sheaf before his penalty but was allowed to continue because cards are reset ahead of shootouts
Onana says he was aware that the rules allowed him to receive another booking and admits he used ‘provocation’ and ‘tricks’ to unsettle the Coventry penalty-takers
‘I know the rules,’ he sad. ‘The referee told me the first yellow card was cancelled, so it was a new start
‘I knew the rules before. I spoke to the referee just before the penalties, I knew the rules. Everyone is doing tricks to win. It went great for us todaywww.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/man-utd-star-admits-he-used-trick-to-win-penalty-shootout-against-coventry/ar-AA1nqNr1There's seems to be more and more shithousery in the modern game Tactical fouling, rolling around feigning a serious injury to break up play, and goalkeepers during penalty shoot outs What's the solution?

Forecast is sunny intervals Saturday in London.
It was always sunny on Cup Final day wasn't it ? (Apart from 1981)
City have booked a champions parade for Sunday. What if United win on Saturday ??
