City look gash. Massive failure to close the gap on Arsenal

Starting Maxi was probably the best thing Eddie could have done to prove to the fans that he isn't the answer. Maxi probably be knows his game is up, there was no ovation or songs for him and he went off to the sound of fans singing for AG instead. He had the perfect opportunity to stake a claim but has blown it. Eddie knows he won't get heat anymore now he's given him an hour. Gordon, or Isak should balance that left a bit more, at least provide an outlet. Glad to see Wilson back to near his previous levels. I was a big critic these last few games but he was a lot better tonight, more dynamic and looking hungry.

There was some very average performances out there. Trips probably our MOTM Longy a close 2nd. Fair result but don't like seeing the Mancs go above us.

Theres another red risk here.

Pacqueta definitely saying fuck you to us in that celebration. He wanted to have knockabouts in Darras and ended up in East London.

Maxi isn't the best passer. It's not because he doesn't want to it's because he can't weight one. We still look a bit lopsided as a result. Reckon Gordon will be on by the hour.

Gutted casemiro doesn't miss the final. Was hoping they would have to play Mctominay

Dinnerlady scores again. Hope we win today to stay above them.

Murphy Hat Trick.

The one that NOBODY is talking about. All about the Manchester's.

Last time I went for a cup game, it was the Cardiff Semi where we were skittled but our fans were rowdier than they were by several magnitudes. Was a good day getting the bus from town in the middle of the night when everyone on the piss was going home. It's safe to say I WON'T be getting a ticket.

Isak Wilson Miggy Joe Longy Joe Usual 4 at the back Only issue is that we've only got Anderson as a CM as back up, the rest - ASM, Gordon, Murphy, Ritchie are all wingers.

I've got no chance of a ticket, so I'm thinking of going into Newcastle instead.

When can we start signing players on pre contracts? I reckon the club will be looking at long term targets on expiring deals and wanting to get those sorted as soon as possible.

He's finally gone full circle and is looking like the player Man Utd wanted to buy. Let's hope they wish they had and he does them in the final.

Franny Benali must be sick as a chip, he's had to stand outside for over an hour listening to everything Newcastle without saying a word. It's like watching NUFC TV.

He's off now.

Made hard work of a 2 goal lead 2nd half.

This probably does highlight the fact that we have so few options who can play defensively in midfield. we could do with someone now who could sit in front of the defence and protect but we don't have any option from the bench. We've effectively got 2 up top now with only 10 men.

Really shitty ending to what was a turning into a classic.

FFS. Completely unnecessary..misses the final?

We could do with putting a few passes together. I think we just tried to hook it away and push it long which just puts it back into their possession.

Is this Murphys last chance to be one of the first 3 subs to come on? He's been a banker for months.

Balls. There goes the clean sheet..

Probably the best team goal we've seen all season.. Anyone see Jim Bowen jumping around for the second?
