It's probably old age setting in but I'm seriously thinking of swerving this and watching it on tv, the semi-finals should be nowhere near fucking Wembley. Train travel looks either near-impossible or a royal pain and the roads will be jammed for the Easter weekend, especially if the weather's decent. Throw in thousands of marauding bus-wreckers and the attraction is getting less by the minute.It was a final. I think selling out a semi final with no trains and at Easter when loads will be on holiday is going to take some doing. Who knows though. Maybe the opponent will help make people go when perhaps they wouldn’t for Palace.
I’ll never forget being in the Kippax and it going mental when that Kevin Reeves goal went in. Pity the ref screwed us, but in our minds, we all know to this day that the goal should have stood.
Like it used to be all this Wembley for everything bollox . No wonder the fa cup has dropped in years because playing at Wembley on final day at 3 pm on a Saturday on bbc1 or itv is not sacred any more . As for the semi final Maybe Villa park .Exactely whare?
Old Trafford? Hillesbrough? Goodison Park? Villa Park? Edgeley Park?
5th April: Atletico (H) W5th April: Atletico (H)
10th April: Liverpool (H)
13th April: Atletico (A)
16th April: Liverpool (N)
Win all four and we're rocking ...
But in real don't need to win it all ... win big in first home leg against Atletico which renders the second away leg less important. Draw at home against Liverpool (if we have won Burnley A the week before) and we stay ahead of them, then win the SF against them ... or win the home PL game and maybe draw the SF (and win on pens) ... of course 4/4 wins would be great but not necessary.
Just got this weird feeling while we are busy battling it out with the dippers Chelsea will nip in & win both the FA cup & the chumps league :-(
Fuck off Alf Grey, I was in the Kippax near the front when we scored, fuck all wrong with it.I’ll never forget being in the Kippax and it going mental when that Kevin Reeves goal went in. Pity the ref screwed us, but in our minds, we all know to this day that the goal should have stood.
I wouldn’t say always. Until the late 70s there wasn’t really much of a rivalry between them.The hatred will only intensify.
They've always hated United more. Not anymore.
If they havent paid for them then no, the issue is Chelsea can take any money The solution would be for the FA / Wembley sell themPossibly the Chelsea fans in their Cup Schemes will get tickets as they have a ‘contract’ for them.
