      we had an attacking threat and scored unlike Maureen

      Steve, again, it’s not a criticism at all. Very good defensive display imo. But to say Arsenal had a threat and scored unlike Mourinho, not really sure what you mean there. Mourinho was hammered for that type of performance in the NLD and they even had 13 shots. You had 4 shots tonight. They also scored 2 so not following your point

        Not a criticism at all Steve. I never had a problem with Mourinho doing what he did in the big games. Absolutely no difference in what Mourinho did in the NLD to what Arsenal did tonight and against Liverpool, though.

        It’s something Arsenal should have probably done more of in recent seasons when playing against the better sides.

          Almost a Mourinho-esque performance from Arsenal in both their recent games. Very un Arsenal like but very effective. City had no answer. Amazing how many defeats City have suffered now this season compared to last.

            Congrats Steve. Huge chance of a trophy for Arsenal.

              Nine, it’s good anyway for both clubs that Spurs Leicester will be finished by the time our game starts which could be a bit of a boost to both clubs if it goes Spurs’ way.

              Is extra time scrapped in the semi? Hope so. Both clubs could do without an extra 30mins anyway!

                As strange as it sounds, I’m still not totally convinced by Ole. I was all for him taking the caretaker role but dead against him getting the permanent job. Until Fernandes came in, we were in rapid decline. I can’t help thinking he’s papered over a few cracks. I’ll reserve my judgement until the end of the season.

                The thing is, the margins are so fine. There are so few games left and yet Utd could either:

                – Finish top 4, win the FA Cup and win the Europa
                Or
                – Finish 5th and win nothing

                Where we finish on that spectrum tells me everything I need to know about whether Ole is the man to take us forward. Do the latter and he’ll have proven to me he’s not the man, in my opinion, to take us to the next level, despite some positives. Do the former and I’ll happily admit I’ve underestimated Ole.

                  Nine, understand that completely. To flip it round, I’d happily sacrifice any of our players for them to have had that extra 2 days rest. I don’t know if you saw the Palace game but Utd were running on fumes. I think Ole has messed up a bit there playing the same side far too often since the return.

                  Let’s see tomorrow. I think it could be a strange game with both sides capable of having one eye on the remaining league games.

                  I think Chelsea could surprise you. Definitely due a win against our lot that’s for sure!

                    I’ll always have a soft spot for Jose. I genuinely can’t wait to see the Spurs documentary! ?

                      I’ll refer you back to my post on 30th June Mav ?. Chelsea also beat City in their last meeting. Their record against Chelsea and Utd this season is not great

                        Our players are shot to pieces though and have barely had any rest. The extra 2 days for Chelsea could be huge. We’ve played pretty much the same side for about 5 games running (aside from resting Matic yesterday and Shaw being unavailable).

                        I hope you’re both right but I think we could get overrun in midfield if we play a 3 of Matic, Fernandes and Pogba and 3 up top. They looked very unbalanced against Southampton. I’d prefer us to go with an extra man in midfield. My front 6 would be:

                        Matic
                        McTominay/Fred & Pogba
                        Fernandes
                        Rashford & Martial

                        So Greenwood dropping out for the extra man in a midfield diamond.

                          Rather than switch it off (which I’ve realised is difficult without blocking almost all the ads that appear), I’ve drastically turned down the amount of ads each visitor sees. Some will still appear in posts, unfortunately. Do keep me updated though. If it’s still really annoying, let me know and I’ll try something else.

                                  Well I can see yours Chucky so it worked fine. You should see a “Changes Saved” yellow box at the top of all the scores once you’ve clicked save. Either way, as long as you click save after you’ve filled all the fields, it will work fine.

                                  Reminder that it’s 2 points for correct result and 5 points for the correct score.

                                      Stick or twist now on Sunday for Utd & Chelsea. Chelsea will be glad of the 2 days extra rest compared to Utd, who looked lethargic against Palace. Both sides have 2 huge games within a week of this semi that will decide whether they can target the top players in the summer with CL football or have to settle for the next tier of player.

                                      That said, an FA Cup final would be a massive step forward for either side especially if they were to upset the odds and then win the thing.

                                      Could well be the first ever semi that sees both sides rest their top players. Whilst that would be sad to see, it’s in many ways understandable with the games coming so rapidly at the moment.

                                        Everton is generally the early retirement home for English players who failed to live up to their early potential like Alli. Wouldn’t put it past them to go in for him. West Ham otherwise. Failing that, a club like Dortmund might be good for him to rediscover his old form with some other English players around him

                                          Ndombele has always baffled me. He’s looked average for me since he came in and yet he seems to be linked with huge transfers to Barca, Bayern etc. What’s all that about? Is he another Serge Gnabry, Diego Forlan? Ie a very good player just destined to not realise his potential in this league?

                                            Too right Nine! Completely agree re Kane. I think someone like Pukki could do ok though. A bit like Ighalo at Utd. I was severely underwhelmed by the Ighalo signing but been pleasantly surprised at how much help it has been to have a proper striker to call upon when needed and who doesn’t demand a starting spot.
