:lol: I do love how football fans see exactly what they want to see, and wilfully ignore everything they dont!
This was the Blackburn 'keeper when he saved from Barnes :lol:

Watching it live, I said "He was off his line there" - it seemed very obvious. I was surprised that even the VAR-less officials didn't order a re-take.

Never thought about this before but surely you can change the line up right up to KO ? Not that we would.
Can’t find FA Cup rules but it’s 75 mins for PL, and you can only change it in the event of an injury

Doing the draw BEFORE tonight's matches is really shit.

If its City (or Liverpool) away in the next round, half the excitement of tonight's game is pretty much evaporated before we've even kicked off.

True but all a bit meaningless if Man City and Liverpool are still in it.
No, man city and Liverpool winning it would mean that 7th comes into play for European football which is what I'm after.

My ideal semi final line up would be us, man city, Liverpool and man utd. That way we'd have a very good chance of Europe next season. Unless we bollocks up the league.

For fans, maybe. But I can't see the players – and DEFFO not Roberto – thinking like that. Regardless of the opposition, they would still be in the cup and with a chance (there IS a chance) of beating anyone else left in it.

They wouldn't throw a game in the PL or Europe because they are playing a team perceived to be 'better' than them, so why do it in the FA Cup?
