Match Thread | Man City vs Sheff Utd FA Cup @ 4.45pm (22/04/23)

[yeseye]

Never easy playing after a European away midweek.
So far so good City.
Freshen up on the hour mark and happy days hopefully .
I also think Sheff will tire last 20.

Fuck me, the commentators are getting the magnifying glasses out trying to make the point that the penalty shouldn't have been given.

Compare the forensic analysis of a stone wall pen and the absolute ignoring of why Erling’s goal was ruled out. This is so annoying to listen to. I understand the underdog thing but it’s way beyond fair and balanced. MCoist has been ok in the past and I thought Dixon was brought up a City fan. All we want is balance.

 

[Cityfan]

They are still going on about him possibly getting a touch on the ball - if he had, wouldn't he have protested? The guy who did it knew it was a foul and said nothing! stfu ffs

It wouldn't matter if he had touched the ball he followed through on Silvas legs out of control which is a foul. They don't know the law.

If we get to the final we can’t play this team for me

The semi final is always the trickiest with the timing of it around Champions League, but the final is after the Premier League has finished and the Champions League Final (if we made it) is a full week after the FA Cup Final. We’d obviously play Ortega if we get there, but the rest of the team would be full strength. It’s today that is the iffy one for tiredness, rotation and scheduling. It’s a day for grabbing the win however we can, and hoping we get no more injuries.

Atwell has generally given them the signal they can go in hard and either not get anything or a simple foul at most.

And he’ll go bigger in the second half.

Classic display of letting their fouls go and pinging ours.

Notice the play on when we had a fouls in a great position outside their box with us going backwards?

You think he waves play on for them in that position?

Lol

 

[christened at st marks]

ITV is biased as fuck

 

[mexico1970]

The empty seats at Wembley are because of the money grabbing cnuts.

They are season tickets aren't they? Wembley event tickets?

 

[Impeccable One]

Great pen from Mahrez but don't know why Haaland didn't take it, he's not going to be second choice after just one miss.

Perhaps we now have a cup penalty taker and a league penalty taker [emoji23]

 

[hertsblue]

The ruled out goal for Haaland for a non existent foul that replays proved, by Atwell who blew after appeals from Utd players was by far the worst decision, add it to his performance in the Spurs V Brighton game and the non yellows in this game

 

[Mancity1980]

Did they fuck deserve it.

Anti football shite.

We get this ten men behind the ball a lot, so you can’t blame them. It’s up to us to deal with it.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

The pen was a let off for us in that half, Sheffield United deserved to go at half time level.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Some ridiculous rag like comments in here calling it dinosaur football, what on earth do you want them to do, if they decided to be open they'll get torn about.

They did their job in the first half until the end, restricted us to any space and barely had a shot on target.

 

[Metal Biker]

"Sheff Utd's discipline has been good, their shape has been good..."

They did nothing but foul and get away with it whilst defending in their own half!

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Lee Dixons a right miserable ****.

He was a blue as a kid as well, the bitter Arsenal ****.

 

[malg]

Did they fuck deserve it.

Anti football shite.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

The commentary is like somebody’s forgotten that the mic is on, and we’re having to listen to a bunch of old bitter bastards talking shit between themselves about a match their clearly not interested in.

Absolutely piss poor.

Awful. Like a being at a shite sportsmans night in the Phoenix Club

 

[Tb1981]

Clearest penalty you will ever ever see
Yet itv aren’t convinced!!!

 

[Revolver]

It’s not easy playing against 11 men camped in their area. Hopefully at some point they will have to come out (if they want to win)

Sadly Walker and Gomez are not the best on the ball and so we are a bit predicatable on the wings.

 

[Len Rum]

SU have done alright, but with a better final ball and without a dodgy ref we’d have 3 or 4
The parked bus is frustrating us abit.
We get another and they’ll have to come out and then we’ll run riot

'We'd have 3 or 4' ?
Stretching it a bit mate!

I'm a fan of McCoist but he was just a tad bias in the Arsenal game back in February, just a smidgen.
