FA Cup Semi Final Manchester United Vs Spurs - 17:15

    Leaders in the coveted second place trophy race Manchester United face Spurs in Wembley in the first of the 2018 FA Cup semi finals.

    Both Nice Guy Jose and hipsters favourite Mauricio have one win a piece over eachother in the league this year with United suffering a sucker punch in the first 60 seconds last time out so The Nice Guy will be anxious to avoid allowing Spurs such a start again.

    Alot of questions have been asked about United's star signing, YouTube sensation Paul Pogba and whether he is the man to lead United into the future while Spurs star man Harry Kane is in such a rich vein of scoring form he no longer needs to even touch a ball to get goals.

    No doubt the United 16 wheeler will be primed and ready to go for this one.

    So who saw the poor kid waiting ages for Herrera to shake his hand :(:D

    Good goal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,404 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    Could see that goal coming a mile away


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    That was awful defending.

    Danny Murphy has mentioned Lukaku's missed header now a couple of times. Do they not have the same sound source as the audience? The ref clearly blew for a free kick for Lukaku's push before the ball got to him

    Why is bailly not playing? He has much better awareness in the box in those situations.

    Young wasn't to be seen for the goal,3 passes from their own box to the goal


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Pogbas lack of effort to get back for the goal was criminal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    Good strength Pogba


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,397 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Dembele :D

    Lovely header by Sanchez

    Should’ve been red for Valencia, dirty tackle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    That's a red

    Excellent from Valencia

    Dirty from Son


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,495 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Stupid booking for Son to take so early on, United were short on numbers going forward, there was little danger.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    VAR for this I take it?

    Dembele having a shocker.

    Son should be sent off for a dive ffs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    Pogba really is quite unappealing.

    Pity the BBC always uses the worst comm/pundit pairing they have for this.

    He was caught. Pogba 'left his leg in' as they say.

    No he touched him and by the rules these guys are playing it isnt a foul unless you dont touch the player


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,778 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    Could have been yellow for Herrera there.

    Somehow Herrera doesn’t get booked for literally trying to pull the jersey off Vertonghen’s back. Very poor ref for both sides this evening.

    He (Ander) is a master of the cynical. I'm sure id hate him if he played for a rival.

    Sanchez having a great game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    Great first half, 1-1 is a fair reflection.

    Oh for sure, he’s a complete bastard but the kind you need in a squad. That’s a compliment before someone goes off and reports me. :pac:

    Don’t think he’s been too bad, except for the red. hasn’t fallen for much of the shenanigans from Sanchez, Lingard, and Herrera. Think the crowd and players surrounding him will get to him in the second half though.


  • Posts: 0 Tenley Icy Snake


    Brilliant from Herrera


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    Where is that ref from?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,926 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Herrera to miss a foul on Ali who dives and wins a pen.
