I hope we give them the biggest lesson in humility ever...

At a club that has had and continues to sign and employ the most obnoxious and horrible examples of humanity, this utter turd must be one of the worst ever.

Does that DaSilva(?) look say '"I might have been knocked out of the cup, but at least I'll never have to wake up of a morning and remember I'm one of the biggest ****s to have ever kicked a football for money"

When was the last time they beat us in a meaningful game?

FA Cup Semi 1-0 Yaya.
Title Decider 1-0 Kompany.
FA Cup Final 2-1 Gundogan (2).

I can think of a couple of League Cup Semi Finals we knocked them out in also, Fernandinho and Stones scoring. Also another with Bernie, Mahrez scoring...

We'll do them again. We always beat them in games that have something riding on it.

Then again, We always beat them when there's nothing riding it on too so their fucked.

The last time they beat us (Jan 24) I said to my rag brother in law "We always win the ones that matter and the last time that didn't happen was a long time ago". You could argue that when they beat us 3-2 at ours on the day we could have won the league in 2018 it was a meaningful game, luckily for me he didn't ;)

No team deserves that more. The problem is sometimes a clubs name is just on the cup and given the extraordinary amount of luck they've had I fear this year it's the rags turn.

Yep, it's worth noting that when Anthony came on they were 3-0 up!!!

I think if we turn up, and I'm sure this squad will, we'll be fine, but yes football is not an exact science and various imponderables can come into play. Yesterday was plain bent. Someone on VAR doctored that line

I'm taking fuck all for granted, like all of us.
We all know how these seemingly 'odd refereeing decisions' come into effect when their backs are against the wall, so I am anticipating yet another questionable VAR decision that will assist them should they find themselves under the cosh - which of course they will.

This is the one club that you can guarantee every game they play WILL have a contentious decision made by the officials in order to help them.

Luckiest cunts to ever play the game.

FA bent as a 9 Bob note to let these counts get in the final.

Wankers

I notice Sir Fishfingers went off with a mystery injury once the wheels fell off in the second half.

No CL final on our minds this year so we really ought to take this lot apart. Fuck "their name's on the Cup" or dodgy officials, they are levels below us and we should be making that "clear and obvious".
