FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

[Halloween Jack]

Can we forget ticket sales now and talk about the upcoming game from here on in?

Been saving it all for the big one. Luring us into a false sense of security....

Seriously though why wouldn’t Brighton be happy with a Manchester United ref officiating at a semi final involving a Manchester team. Just swap the refs around for the 2 games.

Fixed for you.

I`m away in Peterborough next weekend so will be unable to watch the match live and all catch ups courtesy of my phone.Will have to watch the recorded version on Sunday ... if we win !!

Is Peterborough some twighlight zone type of area where TV's don't exist?

Spot on mate. I have been a season ticket holder for 30 years, I have a strict budget of what I can afford over and above the home games. I don’t have a lot of disposable income, and if I went to this game I would be hitting the credit card. I’ll give it a miss and watch at home.

Which is fair enough mate- hopefully we’ll shift a few more before next Sat

Ha to be fair we will get a load of shit if we don't sell out so I hope we do. People more concerned about that than the game cos we expect to win comfortably. Probably why the empty seats songs is so relevant (and brilliant, IMO)

Apologies if this has been posted but it looks like we have the pleasure of Anthony Taylor on Saturday

The match official appointments for both Emirates FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley Stadium have been made.

1 Manchester City v Brighton & Hove Albion
5.30pm, Saturday 6 April 2019
Referee: Anthony Taylor
Assistant Referees: Gary Beswick & Adam Nunn
Fourth Official: Roger East
Reserve Assistant: Neil Davies
VAR: Paul Tierney
AVAR: Andrew Halliday

As soon as we beat Swansea Mrs Jitsu said we’d get Taylor. Never forget how that tw#t screwed us over in the cup against wigan and I wouldn’t put him past him to try and do the same against Brighton. After all, it’d end any chance of us getting the quadruple and overshadowing the treble the scum won 20 years ago.

City just have to be on top of their game so he can’t influence it.

If he does screw us over in the semi final I might go to that game to ‘cheer’ Anthony on and let him know what a fine impartial referee I think he is!

I hope someone has given him a map so he can find it

Are we wearing sky blue or having to change kit?

This has Wigan written all over it... Brighton to win the Cup and get relegated.... Chris Houghton then turns up managing Belgrum !

Taylor and East - they may as well appoint Laurel and Hardy - what a pair of incompetent ****s.

Sorry did I say utd fan? I meant Altrincham fan of course

I wonder where this would have been played if it was a league ground neutral venue?

Watford v Wolves would have been Villa Park.

I reckon we'd still have had a London Venue like the Emirates.

Villa for us, Leicester for the other would be fairest.

I thought we were the home team having been drawn out first, therefore can wear our home kit?
