[Albion] Matchday 16th March

[Mr Banana]

Conor Coady's accent is the most confusing thing I've heard since Aspinall started co-commentating.

Any of these semi-finalists will batter us unless we play for penalties.

 

[Acker79]

Red for me. He's sliding and can't stop himself, so not in control. He takes out the wolves standing leg before getting near the ball, then the foot he tries to kick the ball with goes over the ball.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

The FA, as we post, are trying to find a way to change the result of this game. They also need to change the size of the Man C ball for the draw in order to make it the same size as the rest now Manure are out.

The top 6 balls vibrate like love eggs, apparently.
No need to switch it on now.

 

[Nixonator]

Honesty time!
On a percentage how much are you pissed off with the Swansea match because
A) The pure injustice, cheating, incompetence and favouritism.
B) We now won't stand any chance of getting Swansea in the semi final, leaving us, if we go through, as, on paper, the weakest team left in the cup.

90% injustice and disgraceful officiating.
10% added annoyance.

We're not guaranteed anything, we haven't made it past Millwall yet.

 

[Saunders]

Get through and we will be the team all the others would wish to draw.

Good I am sure the cup is due one more upset lets hope its not Millwall though

I did say if we go through.
I am counting no chickens, it will be a very tough and physical game, I can see it going to penalties.
We need to play as strong a team as possible.

 

[Weststander]

Man City are the epitome of everything that's wrong with modern day football. Even though their riches dwarf those of most other teams in the Premier League, they tried to change the split of revenue from foreign TV rights so they could grab an even bigger slice the cake. The Premier League partially caved in. They have almost certainly cheated in the way they sign players (and will probably get a two year transfer ban imposed by UEFA - not exactly a tough penalty given the squad they already have). And Der Spiegel has dug the dirt on all sorts of dodgy deals to get round FFP rules.

Citeh have been financial cheats since the moment Mansour walked through the door.

Despite FFP rules, they gathered the most expensive squad in the history of the sport, far more than clubs such as Bayern, ManU, Juve, Barca and Real who held a clear financial advantage from huge global support and the large commercial income that comes with that. Yet ManC outspent the lot of them on, in effect, two teams of internationals.

Lineker puts them down his pants and they can feel the warmth.

I'm with you. If the ref's decision is not a clear and obvious error (which this wasn't), then why is VAR even involved?

 

[hart's shirt]

At the start of the season, if we had been offered a 2/3rds chance of playing either Wolves or Watford in an FA Cup Semi-Final at Wembley whilst remaining comfortably out of the relegation zone, most Albion supporters would have bitten the entire arm off along with the proverbial hand.

Come on, Albion. We can do this!

Did you not see us play Watford?

Bayerns stadium was paid for them, Juve bribed referees, Barca and Real have both been bailed out financially by their cities.

Sorry to say they are all as bad as each other, and that's probably how Man City and their 'fans' justify it.

Bit of both. Swansea played bloody well and deserved to win. I love the FA Cup and enjoy watching lesser teams play a blinder. The injustice is sickening. When watching TV and you hear that **** Lineker who’s only comment about both injustices was Ho Hum, I realise it’s getting less and less about the romance and more about profile. It saddens me.

Yeah, but it's Man Utd and it goes to VAR, funnily enough if it had been at Swansea there would have been no second decision. You use it for all or you don't use it at all.

Like the Prem, it is about 6 teams, the FA want their own cut of the lucrative pie. Swansea were absolutely robbed, Man Utd kept a player on the pitch when the refs decision was over ruled. There were two quarter finals with different rules. How can this be allowed?

Wasnt a red card, correct decision. Swansea were robbed though agreed the competition should have the same rules for all games no VAR or all VAR.

I don't care what is correct or incorrect. I just can't get my head around different rules for games in the same competition.

 

[Washie]

And we've beaten Wolves...

Our name is on the Cup!!

And Watford beat us, and Man City beat Watford.
