Today’s Games 2023-2024

[Hot Fuss]

Is that really handball? Really?

Big club bias, only explanation.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Come on Cov win this. Really give it them nothing better than manure losing

 

[SuperGran]

Man City like this

Coventry would probably give them a better game than Man Utd

 

[Glow69]

Well done cov!

 

[Justawolf]

This has been a great game and happy to see Coventry peg them back. The magic of the cup and all that. Would prefer to see a Manchester derby in the final though. It's likely that Man City v Coventry would be more of a procession.

Yea but how humiliating for Utd! Absolutely love it

 

[WorcesterWanderer]

My old man's stuck the match back on- he turned it off at 3-0 to Man U. He can't believe it bless him it's the most excitement he's had in ages LOL.

 

[Contrarian]

The magic of the underdog in the fa cup,
Who would of thought of that....

Thats what the motivation of a trip to Wembley for the final does!

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

It must be VAR is totally biased to the top clubs isnt it?

I put the PlayStation on at 2-0 Cov didn’t look in it at all.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

That's why Ten Hag has to go

He can stay as long as he wants.

 

[Bradstonian]

Haven't seen the Everton one, but that is 100% a penalty against AWB. Amazed anyone could think otherwise.

Dixon saying his hands are in a natural position as he's doing his Daniel from The Karate Kid impression for absolutely no ****ing reason.

He was doing the dance to “Walk Like an Egyptian”

Genuinely fair play to them. They deserve the win absolutely.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Rashford may have just done a Saka when the going got tough, very impressive #limp

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Stop that! Now I'm picturing Suzanna Hoffs.

 

[Spitfire]

We wouldn't have faced Utd.

The 4 semi finalists were numbered in alphabetical order

1. Chelsea
2. Coventry
3. Manchester City
4. Manchester Utd

Then the draw was 1 vs 3 and 2 vs 4

If we had gone through the numbers would have been

1. Chelsea
2. Man City
3. Man Utd
4. Wolves

So would have been Chelsea vs Man Utd and Man City vs Wolves.

That’s not how it works.
The teams are numbered in the order they came out in the previous round, so us or Coventry would have had the same number (1) and so would everyone else.

There is an exception to every rule, and United haven't been a top club for years....

Ah, I read some misinformation on that then, clearly.

 

[GY Wolf]

My god this is not being done justice by Matterface and Dixon

 

[Bryce]

Lee Dixon on comms has been throwing out the one liners and in fairness they are worth a chuckle

 

[Watfordfc]

Poor/ref couldn't win there.

Had they over ruled that can you imagine the headlines they'd get but yes wasn't the most obvious.

But stlll doesn’t excuse the Man U collapse .

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

Teams will pay big money to bring in players that are capable of changing a match. Players capable of taking seemingly foregone conclusions, and singlehandedly turning it around.

For a while now, I thought Antony may be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen... but credit where it's due - he has well and truly turned this game on its head. 3-0 up when he comes on with half hour to go. 3-3 at 90 minutes.

There truly are only a handful of players in world football capable of making that kind of an impact, and today he has proven to me that he is one of them.

Sorry for doubting you Antony.

Superb

 

[stever]

Tavares has put some soul into the Coventry performance

Thankfully he's not missing his angel

 

[WorcesterWanderer]

Just had a thought, surely Robins will be a candidate for a job like West Ham now or something?

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Commentator;
"United had a 3 goal cushion, but unfortunately it was a soft cushion".

 

[wolfslair]

I would test Coventry with a bid over the summer for simms or hadji…..

Those two have looked good in the games against us and United.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

I turned the game off at 3.0 and put Liverpool on, ****ing gutted

 

[Monketron]

Cov seemed to have run out themselves out in normal time, understandable but a shame.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Wtf! I turned off at 3-0 too! Come on cov!

Never bid for players based on cup games, it's the same for players who do well in World Cups etc. Players often try harder than they would in a normal league game but mostly cup games are generally more open and make attackers look better than they are.

I normally agree, but sims has had decent reviews and now it is more of a squad game than ever they would be good options

 

[Southdownswolf]

WTF!
Didn't put the match on, been out with the dogs. Saw it was 3-0 utd when the dogs dragged me into the pub and thought that was it. Pub doesn't show football , so just got home to see it's 3-3!
Come on Cov!

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

Should've took the shot then.

James Rodriguez perfect example

Absolutely unbeatable in that 2014 World Cup.

Right crock of **** at club level

 

[Dingle Chris]

Come on Coventry.

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

Great tackle, made even greater by who it took out.

 

[Perton Wolf]

What a chance for Cov!

 

[Southdownswolf]

Great tackle, made even greater by who it took out.

Thought it was a really bad foul until the replay, ref spot on.

 

[wolfslair]

Man Utd seem to pre-occupied with making fair tackles look like fouls and it is costing them massively in the 50/50 moments

They've had the benefit of the doubt for the last few decades now, so it seems ingrained in them that any time they lose possession it must be a foul.
