balls.

get in.

Not bad. We played well but Gower is clearly lacking confidence in front of goal. Personally I don't think we would look out of place in the Premiership. That wasn't a one off, we play like that every single week.

[Shozuki]

Agreed, Swansea played well and some very nice football at times.

The Setanta commentary is lollersome as usual

*Man U get a free kick*
"Ronaldo is stepping up, could we see another of his special free kicks?
" It takes a special man to score from this distance!"
"It takes a special man to even think about scoring from this distance!"
*Ronaldo kicks the ball straight at the wall*
*few seconds of silence*
"Well he hit Robbie Savage..."
"If a goal is first prize, hitting robbie savage is second prize"
"Ronaldo got second prize!"

Wow! That was the latest flag I have ever seen in my life and I'm not even sure if it was correct anyway. Hialrious. 1-0 to us still, been playing well.

EDIT - Seems like Giggsy got a flick on it, doesn't matter anyway cos it is 2-0 now

[ezee ryder]

Swansea or Fulham for us in the next round

[Herbalizer]

Christ, I really hope we beat Fulham now.

[Kongster]

Ryan Giggs hopes so, too

Its almost kills me to say it , but you did play some wonderful football on Saturday , it was great to watch

[ShadowDancer]

Coventry dumped out Blackburn. 1-0. Excellent.

[ezee ryder]

Semi-Final draw is done and dusted.

Arsenal or Hull City vs Chelsea
Man Utd vs Everton

[Matt]

United vs Hull final then

[abigsmurf]

lol @ metro "CHELSEA VS MAN U FINAL!"

That's the most likely final at the moment but Everton have put in some good performances and Arsenal look like they've got out of their slump (a bit late but they've still 3 big targets to play for).

Still, at least it's a semi final that isn't at bloody Old Trafford. Travelling for 5 hours on a Sunday... And they wonder why Chelsea didn't sell out their allocations. Still, does mean there's a massive gap in the middle of the stadium for the 'corporates' that kills the crowd noise (which is why Wembly as it stands is awful, put the corporate tickets on the upper tier, don't have a large, solid block of them).

A bit late as you said, but Eduardo and Walcott are now returning (Eduardo having scored 3 goals in the first 2 games he's played in over a year and walcott almost with two assists in 15 minutes in his first game back for 4 months), Arshavin is starting to recover his match fitness and Song actually had a good game for a change.

Still, that last paragraph was basically an excuse for me to post this
