The FA Cup 2017/2018

[Rorschach]

the new ruling on double jeopardy is such a bad rule change.

just encourages weak refereering. that was 400% a red card, jones made no real challenge for the ball whatsoever

I think he did try to go for it.

Time for Pogba to dominate this game and show us what all the hype is about.

 

[Rorschach]

Where's sideshow these days?

I think Herrera has taken N’jies worst shot ever title.

 

[Wilheldiva]

I think he did try to go for it.

jones' line of thinking was likely, "theres a very minimal chance of me getting the ball, but i'll make sure to trip him up because the chance of scoring from a pk is less than it is right now"

all round, its a very bad rule because it assumes that players are honest. its the kind of ruling that ppl who are naive about the game would make.

It's one of those games where a meteor crashing into the stadium would be the best result.

Football is the winner.

Losing to this united side in the semi has to be one of Mopos worst results given what a win would have meant.

He’d kept hazard so wide that at the time he made the tackle a shot would have favoured De Gea

Don;t agree with that. The rule is fine IMO but I can't be arsed making an argument.

Jones knew exactly what he was doing. Enough contact to slow him down and encourage him to flop, but clever enough to get away with it sometimes and leave enough doubt for the referee to avoid the red. Vertonghen is clever at that and usually gets away with it (possibly because he doesn't look like a carthorse).

surprised Jose hasn’t changed this, United are not in it, if Chelsea don’t make a mistake it’s over

 

[StephenH]

I fear for my sanity if City get Hazard

 

[Baleforce]

That’s a clear yellow card offence from Moses

 

[DeleHarry]

Mourinho is a genius to get this lot into 2nd with 81 points......hate his tactics but my GHod the majority of that team is awful

I’m not sure he makes them more dangerous, just adds a bit of depth

 

[Rorschach]

Not much of a spectacle.

think manutd have done well to get 81 points, but you could make a very good argument that the likes of martial, alexis, (a confident) shaw, jones, de gea, herrera, matic, lukaku, mata,valencia would start for any top 4 contenders (bar city) in their respective positions. then they also have the likes of rashford, lingard, carrick too. definitely do not require a geniuses to finish 2nd with these players, nor a turgid style of football

Not if we don't get our stadium finished.

MKDons here we come.

Let’s hope we don’t see that put to the test!

For me the best in the EPL.

Fair enough, too streaky for me, if he played for us I’d be getting stuck into him all the time.
