FA Cup Semi Final Draw

First topic message reminder :

Crystal Palace vs Watford
Everton vs Man Utd or West Ham

The one big positive of this season has been the young players coming through; Rashford, Borthwick-Jackson and Fosu-Mensah all look like potentially good players.

United really have walked a very fine line with some of these decisions

Very true, I think they've earned their place in the squad for next season.

Herrera did there alright need a better angle though to judge it.

And that's how quality keepers save games

although United blew it seconds later

2-1 - Tomkins

Outrageous save and goal!

2-1, that's kinda why you bring Carroll on as a sub. They start playing to him.

Fellaini manages to kick Tomkins instead of the ball.

What the **** was that

De Gea >>>>

Was that offside, hmm

Good saves and means masterchef is on time so all good

That's my spot

Yeah it was offside

Rather have another 30 of this than masterchef

Carroll in the box and you give it mark noble to volley from 30 yards out

Deserve to go out just for that

Didn't turn up, but missed penalty and an iffy offside give United another official assisted resulted

Surprise surprise, Dolph blames it on the ref. What iffy offside?

we were much the better side, bit of a blip letting them back into it but more than deserved

the one that was offside

The goal was offside. Carrick and Herrera were perhaps a bit lucky the ref decided to be lenient, Payet probably should've had a penalty tbf.

United were the better side though. Playing Carroll up top made it to easy to defend West Ham until they started hitting it long.

Do West Ham ever lose or is it all a conspiracy? Hmmm

I thought he looked level, but there you go.

The Carrick foul was never a red card.

just off. his trailing leg was. but any scoring part of the body can play you offside. very tight decision but it was the right one

He also committed two or three fouls immediately after that couldve easily caused the ref to pull up.

Oh good you're being sanctimonious. Stupid Kumquat don't deserve a trip to Wembley. You'll just boo if Carrick plays a sideways pass.

Two penalties missed in two games, equaliser that was a clear foul, Herrera plays up his injury hugely to avoid the red he deserves, trailing foot can be seen by the lino of course - you fully well know that's missed if it's a Man United player. 

We didn't turn up, like I said, but hell that I'd be annoyed we just lost our last cup tie at UP, and missed out on the semis of the FA cup.
Emotionless pricks

Personally think Carrick was fine. Couldn't do anything about the handball

dont get back from holiday till the Saturday so no wembley trip for me unless we get to the final

hows them lemons

Randolph played well from what I saw.
Decent keeper.

Will more than likely be our no1 in the summer.

Sour. It hurts. I can't say I'm level headed so I shouldn't post. We didn't get any luck, we needed it and we didn't get it. We didn't deserve to go through on the night regardless

De Gea once again proving why the nominations for player of the year are a f*cking joke without him being shortlisted....and this comes from a Liverpool fan. I cannot abide Utd but have to say De Gea is a tremendous keeper and without him, Utd would battling with Chelsea for the "WTF just happened to our season" trophy. Been lots of talk about how many points Vardy etc have won for their respective teams this season but I'd like to know how many points De Gea has saved for Utd.

Very good game so far, both sides look threatening, Martial especially is playing well.

Everton look awful...

Amazing tackle, given as penalty.

Justice.

Stunning save from the pen.

They may as well ban sliding tackles and be done with it.

Fantastic penalty save.

Pathetic decision by the referee but great save from De Gea.

And what should have been a penalty for Utd.

Then a clear penalty isn't given.

Even Ent would have appreciated that Fellani tackle, I think.

This is a proper FA Cup semi final.

Everton have some very good players. Seems like a 50 - 50 game now. The feeling many seem to have is that Everton should be performing better as a team but that Martinez is not very good on the defensive side of the game.

The ridiculous thing Danny Murphy is lashing out like a child after being fouled but because Barkley is English you won't bother to mention that.

That Martial fee is looking a bargain now.

Despite Ent's protestations to the contrary this squad of young players does have a lot of potential.

Which is why you don't want Mourinho.

Exactly, Pellegrini's available in the Summer i'd much rather have him.

I imagine Memphis will have a better 2nd season, a forward four of Martial, Rashford, Lingard and Memphis suddenly turns this pedestrian Utd team into one with a lot of speed and creativity.
