FA Cup semi final

I really hope Brighton pull of the performance of the season in their semi.

We beat Wolves and then smash Brighton.

COYH!!!

 

I love your optimism, but we always tend to struggle against Brighton, they are a big, well drilled, team....I would love you to be right though

 

Well we do seem to at their place..Foster saved us this season.

Bobby P came up with a couple of crackers to beat Brighton on the Opening day though.

Be nice bit of symmetry to book end the season against them!

I cannot see Man City not beaten the Seagulls though as they will be quite defensive..

 

VAR replays to be shown on the big screens inside Wembley for both semi-finals. First time in this country.

 

Wonder if they'd done that if Millwall had got to the semis!

 

Tickets arrived... Phew.. Mlle and friend will enjoy a great victory.. I sadly will be in France

7th and 8th in the League and FA Cup Semi-Finalists. What a great season both our teams are having and i would have loved this game to have been the final since i think the season we are both having is worthy of such.

One set of supporters will be disappointed at the weekend(hoping not us) but just wondering if you had an concerns for the weekend, squad wise?.

As i far as i know we currently have no injuriy concerns after last night. Jota was down for some time after some dodgy challenges on him but seemed to finish the match OK.

 

Doucouré went down a couple of times and Holebas seemed to suffer a bit but he does put it on I feel but no serious issues.

Was surprised both of us did field such strong sides but worked out well.

Guess we don't want Leicester reaching 7th - we'll never hear the end of it from Rodgers!

I think we'd both adapt better in Europe than Burnley would - our squads are bigger and stronger but not sure how the players would feel coming back to play in July! (Maybe a mental thing rather than physical?)

Hope for a good game played fairly and decided by a moment of quality rather than a bad decision by either player or officials.

With your impressive record against the top 6 it does seem many might be hoping you reach the final to probably face Man City which I can understand although we were a bit unlucky against them with an offside goal at the Etihad.

Enjoy the trip down - and again in a few weeks time to the Vic!

 

VAR should in in action for both the semi-finals games so should be nothing major incident wise (fingers crossed).

 

A Spurs fan I know was telling me last night that there was no point in us winning as we'd get murdered by City in the final .

 

That explains spurs latest run of form then .

Would prefer to be in it with a chance of winning than not. City are a fantastic team but do lose the odd game and we can hang on to that hope that they choose one of their next two FA Cup games to have that losing performance.

 

Was that one of my daughters, son in law or grandsons?- They need putting in a sheep dip.

At least we beat Spurs this year, solely down down to Spurs playing badly of course.

 

see you on Sunday.

It has to be for me:

-----------------Foster--------------------

--Kiko - Cathcart - Britos - Holebas--

--Del - Capoue - Doucs - Hughes--

-------------TD9-------AG-----------------

What do you lot trecon?

 

Gomes will start I suspect.

Deeney wants to make sure this cup run isn't a one off..

And Lawro has managed to go with all 3 results in his prediction!

Gomes will play For jaiva its not just about trying to win a game its about building for the future and what the other players think is the right thing to do

 

Anybody going to the Green Man pub beforehand,?

we used that pub last time, I was talking to Steve Terry there about the cup final and who froze!!!!

 

He's actually the same age as you and a few other posters on here (you all talk about the gigs festivals and matches you went to so I'm guessing 65ish) so I'm actually hoping one of you guys broke his big toe nail in a Sunday league game...

 

Gomes has even said Foster is a better keeper. Surely, you'd all prefer the same? He'd better not play and let something ****e in, imagine that. We'd all be gutted. Best Foster plays. Even the wanabee vicar would admit it.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Gomes start but I'd rather our best players in each position start, that is for sure.

Same with Mapps he hasn't been great recently and Britos is good in the air, much better than Mapps. Wolves put a lot of crosses in.

If RP is injured most logical thing is to put GD on wing and AG up top, insn't it?

GOT TO GET TO THE FINAL, GOT TO BE IN IT TO WIN IT.

Result might also have an impact on run for 7th....

Sunday is big.

 

Kabasele will play if Mariappa isn't- Britos would be too slow .
