Surprisingly philosophical.

I don't ever criticise it normally but watching a physically and more importantly mentally exhausted Webster, Caicedo etc try and do those intricate passes late on in the second half and repeatedly pass them out of play was a bit much. So hard to do without a sharp mind as much as body.you...

We also kept doing it when the players were mentally and physically shattered and went for 10 minute stretches of being our own worst enemy and giving the ball away and it got really tiring. Its OK to have a plan B in specific circumstances. For example Uniteds technocratic total voetball Dutch...

Thought he may have tries Ayari? Big gamble I suppose but so is penalties. Caicedo in particular was out on his feet at the end of normal time.

Nope. I probably wouldn't have anyway but definitely not now. And having witnessed some of those ballbags yesterday having been ambivalent about United I'm firmly in the I hope City destroy them camp.

While that's true i was literally 3 seats from the United separation and while they were all standing they were absolutely quiet there. Totally silent and patently day trippers. The only real difference was the sitting / standing. Being on the half way line was quite telling acoustics wise...

I did getbgenuine vertigona few times and there is literally about 10 inches to the seat in front. Mass pissed up standers up there could be genuinely dangerous. That said we all stood for the penalties and it was alright!

I was in 552 and everyone was sat down. I would have preferred to stand but I knew when I was getting that ticket there would be a good chance a lot would sit. I had a row of sitting old dears in front and kids behind me so would have been a bit of a helmet, standing there all game. I'm not...

Indeed. Tickets for every away but can't get a ticket at a 35k semi final. 😕

I've never been so glad to choose a game not to drink at, than yesterday. Especially at 10pm on the red eye home, looking at other albion fans who's hangovers were already visibly kicking in.

Undav doesn't have the touch, movement, positioning or passing for midfield either. Let's face it he's just not a player for this level. As someone else said he was just a cheap punt who'd had a season of scoring goals. Its fine for the club to take a punt once in a while but it's really...

I was up high on the half way line and the atmosphere was fine. As good as you can get it in odd circumstances where usual groups aren't sitting near each other and you have a massive prawn sandwich rubber ring round the middle. We were as loud if not more so as united. And we didn't have to...

Just got home and that was a long day for that ending. I don't think we played the way we have played this season. A mixture of nerves, legginess and occassional sloppiness. But with passages of decent play and quite a lot of control in the first half. United are a strange beast. It was a...

Yes he was good. Let a lot go and didn't go for anyone's bullshit.

Not sure sorry mate we left a while ago and at Wembley now.

We've been in the Globe and now outside the primce recently near Baker Street. Globe Rammo'd. Prince regent not too bad.

Heading off now. Excitement levels high. See you all there. I've emailed Extinction Rebellion to tell them that if thy disrupt transport to the football I'm going to leave my car running overnight and will immediately eat 12 steaks.

To be fair it's scandalous that two northern teams have to travel to Wembley for a semi.

Email from the club. To celebrate Brighton & Hove Albion reaching The Emirates FA Cup semi-final, American Express is giving all fans 20% off drinks before the match on Sunday 23 April 2023 at BOXPARK, Wembley. Terms apply. Offer automatically applied at point of purchase...

Ooh imagine a whole train carriage of fans wearing Lynx Africa. The way home will smell like a secondary school boys changing rooms from the early 90s.
