That'd work. I like the idea of Wembley being preserved for the final - hosting semi's there never felt right.

Where would you host a city/saints semi? Villa Park a wee bit too small for me. Chelsea/Leeds ditto. If you're playing in London, there's the north London grounds I suppose.

Well it has rained, and we drew City. So there.

Fixed, no. Predictable, yes.

As predictable as a predictable thing. With a pile of predictable on top.

Feels really odd that he's needed just before pens.

Trump. I've no interest in this John fella - that's another boring personal dispute which I'll steer clear of.

Yep. That sweary one was beyond the pail. He's cornered, his ego is bruised, and that post is pure narcissistic revenge. He's stopped looking for an off ramp by the looks of it, so he'll push Iran to seek one themselves but is too dopey to realise that they're fighting for survival and won't tap out.

Interesting... "Trump: Washington tried to send weapons to Iranian protesters earlier this year “through the Kurds”, but that he believes the weapons never reached protesters. “We sent them a lot of guns, we sent them through the Kurds,” Trump said, without providing more details about who exactly he was referring to. He added that he thinks “the Kurds” kept the arms". If the Kurds get involved, that'll likely mean Turkey get involved. Messy.

Ha!! It's like a drunken voice note from a crazy bloke who doesn't accept he's pissed and lost the plot.

I see what you did there. Good work. I'll give it a go. If I remember.

He did, but there are some posters who would still criticise the lad if he scored 4 and helped us keep a clean sheet. Play the performance, not the player.

Yep. He had a good game. The tactics of leaving Leo high up the pitch for the wide out ball left him with at least 2 on 1. As a full back in that situation, you can't get tight to a man, and have to watch the Man plus runners. It's not an easy role and he did well.

AI interpretation... While the rules do state that yellow cards are wiped clean after the quarter-finals to prevent players from missing the final due to accumulated cards, this "amnesty" applies after the quarter-final is finished. Any pending suspensions, or suspensions earned during the quarter-final, must still be served.

To be fair, a few players didn't turn up either. Lemina's lack of effort will live long in the memory.

Agree with that, especially re Azaz who played a really important role.

There were loads empty around me.

Wow. Just wow. We were down and out before Tonda. Done. Finished. The turnaround has been massive. Players properly coached, fitter, motivated, organised. Fecking brilliant.

Bloody naive from Fellows there. Run it into the corner. Lucky to get away with it.

6 mins. Utter bollox.

Oh. My. Fecking. Days. Get in.

Nobody offering for the ball there for Bragg. Players need to do better than that.

Manning did well again there.

You're a ray of sunshine.
