SEMI FINAL #2
So, another day at Wembley with a sea of Red fans and Blue fans flowing down Wembley Way.
Let's hope the Reds leave happy today!! Apparently, SAF has decided to leave VDS, Ronaldo and Rooney in Manchester. Will he regret that?

I am in the middle of watching Spurs vs Newcastle
Spurs are leading 1-0 with 16 minutes to go. The Toon are in major trouble.
They were hopeless in the first half apparently but have improved since the break
Shearer now has Owen, Viduka and Martins all playing up front
Defoe has just come on for his comeback
Manchester Citeh have taken an 8th minute lead against WBA
Looks like Kiko Macheda makes his first start for United
Robinho was Citeh's goalscorer
For Bob,
I had the same screen when I opened up VSS this morning but now it is back to normal!
For Tony
Anyone else knocking on your door?
The Toon need a goal in the next 6 minutes or they will be 4 points adrift
Well, let's hope they can go to Anfield and get a win
From BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Wembley: "Two topics occupying all the pre-match conversation at a gloriously hot and sunny Wembley - Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United team selection and the much-criticised playing surface.
Ferguson will no doubt be harangued for leaving United's superstars at home, but he is prioritising and clearly the FA Cup is number three on his list. As for the surface, it looks immaculate - the problems only appear when people start playing football on it!
Martins sneaks into the box, chests it down and hits it over!
Baseball news
The Indians have just scored again against the Yankees!!
My Dad would have been so happy to see yesterday's score
Cleveland Indians 22 New York Yankees 4
Onuoha(whoever he is) scores Citeh's second
It's all over at White Hart Lane
Spurs have beaten Newcastle 1-0
Morning, Dave! I'm here for the big match. I'm watching the end of the match at Shite Fart Lane. Sad times on the Tyne.
So Newcastle now need 10 points in their last five matches. A really tough ask now.
It looks like West Brom will be relegated today, no?
It's a big chance for the Toffees today with Fergie resting the big three.
I hope you're wrong
Morning by the way
The teams for today's game are: Man Utd: Foster, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Fabio Da Silva, Welbeck, Gibson, Anderson, Park, Tevez, Macheda Subs: Kuszczak, Neville, Evra, Berbatov, Nani, Scholes, Evans

Your thoughts, Dave?
I have the VSS link going with the ITV coverage talking to SAF
Both Da Silva bros. in the side today. Foster in for VDS, Tevez for Rooney and supersub Macheda for Ronaldo.
Glad you're enjoying the VSS stream, mate.

Sorry, I missed your postings of the teams
I am glad to see the Twins back
So much for the Nevilles bringing out the teams
Not the strongest team but still winnable
Teddy Teddy just said about United's teams for the replay in '99. The #1 duo of Cole and York dropped for him and Ole
No build up to the match on FSC. They're showing Roma vs. Lecce. Typical blunderheadedness.
I'll tell you, I really hope that FSC do a better job on the CL with pre-game. I hate them going to the match right for kick off. I am glad I have ITV to watch them come out of the tunnel
Brunt has got one back for West Brom. If they were to get a result today, that really would spell doom for Newcastle.
Great minds think a like
From BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Wembley: "It should not become an obsession, but there are already marks on the Wembley pitch as the players go through a relatively gentle warm-up. Wembley is a wonderful stadium but the pitch needs to be its crowning glory and that is currently not the case.
Well done Tim Cahill.. saying that he would never join Costa
1552: Not long to go until the second FA Cup semi-final of the weekend, between Manchester United and Everton. The Red Devils are playing in their 26th Cup semi, and have unbelievably won all of their last 13 - last losing in 1970, when Leeds needed three matches to eliminate the Old Trafford men.
BLOODY LEEDS
We have won all those semis
76,77,79,83,85,90,94,95,96,99,04,05
Moments before kick-off - any nerves, Dave?
Here come the teams... and FSC is in Rome!
Plenty
I missed out 07
I want to keep my VSS going. I hope it is not too far ahead of the TV or vice versa
Of course, ITV aren't getting any kudos for being on commercial
United average age of 22
Players ready to kick off
FSC still build up!!!
They're off!!
I guess I have to stop VSS
Now the build-up but it's after the scheduled kick-off. Teams in the tunnel. Coming out. Good looking crowd.
I am going to turn off VSS right now but it is over a minute late in starting
Yeah, I'm watching it on the box. Let's stay synced up. It drives me crazy that FSC is always two or three minutes behind in the "live" coverage.
Why do they do this?
They are a full TWO minutes behind
2:12
Let's hope the Horse of the Year Show didn't chew up the pitch too much for you last night.
I have turned down the sound of VSS and hidden the screen. I want it for half time
Fabio's married and Rafael's not. That would make for a brilliant scam on the wife, eh? I can just imagine it:
"No, never, that was my brother you saw out at the disco!"
Cheers, mate!
Glad to see them both back.
They will help in the league
Nice hit by Macheda
Of course, this start is going to ruin his goal to minute ratio
Macheda wins one in the air and goes close with the shot. Everything he does looks as if it's going to result in a goal. Tremendous strength for a young kid.
"No boss, that was my brother having the kebab with Gazza at midnight. Honest!" The possibilities are endless!
Everton having the most of the possession
Good to see that Fellaini is back to full Hair Bear Bunch regalia today. The cornrows weren't doing it.
Which ends were the fans for yesterday's match?
Everton are giving it a go. Unfortunately for them it's the likes of the Little Neviller on the end of the chances.
Kiko looks very calm on the ball
West Brom have tied it up with Citeh
Brunt with his second
Tevez almost in
Good lord, Brunt has equalized for West Brom! Can they find a winner?
No, Citeh have retaken the lead through a penalty from Elano.
Have you friended Kiko on Facebook yet?
Good point by Martin Tyler
A lot of reserves playing together know each other's games
You beat me to Citeh's third
Apparently Kiko's hobbies are golf, masturbating and strangling animals.
He let himself down a bit on that score. Golf's not very popular these days.
Just checked the VSS and it has frozen after 10
Boom boom
American international Maurice Edu has scored the winner today for Rangers against Hibs. It keeps them in range of Celtic in the SPL.
Thank you, Basil!
Was it the only goal? I know it was 1-0
Tevez hasn't been involved at all
I wonder if he is pleased to be playing
WHAT WAS FOSTER DOING!!!
Foster with an interesting bit of dribbling there. Has he been talking to Fabianski?
No, a 2-3 thriller for Hibs-Rangers!
Good tackle by Lescott
United should have done better there
oooh,
I thought that was in!!
Oooh, that almost snuck in from Lescott's touch.
Park has a shot blocked
Keep up the pressure United
Good pressure
Tevez should have shot
Oh, Wellbeck should have done better. United are starting to click though.
Come on Macheda!!!
You've been on the pitch 25 minutes and no goal
Rafael gives up a foul right on the edge of the area. Gets a yellow for it.
This is the problem with the Premier League
This is a reserve team vs the team that will probably finish fifth
The reserve team is dominating
Free kick chance for Everton
Very dangerous
MARK CAHILL
Glad Arteta isn't on the ball
Cleared for a corner
Rubbish free kick, knocked off Anderson for a corner.
Fergie telling one of his players to knock it off
NO MORE, NO MORE
Take a shot Tevez
Tevez runs into an advertising barrier.
Luckily it is a computer generating one
United are not shooting enough
Take a crack... there's a Yank in goal!!!(just kidding)
Some handy reserves there on the bench for you lot.
Hopefully, they won't be needed
I'd take Howard over Cech, Reina, Fabianski and Reina these days. Brad Friedel as well.
Tev tracks back and fouls him. I don't think it is a yellow
Me too... it was only a joke
VDS, that is. The big Dutchman is best his best IMHO. I hear you're in for Buffon in the summer.
"Past his best," that is. What's wrong with my brain this morning.
Scholesy is warming up...
Wellbeck gets in on the end of a Macheda ball but is errant in his shooting again. He needs to switch to Billy's Boots at half time.
What's up with Wellbeck!?
Come on Welbeck!
Get it over Park!!!
The crowd is pretty quite
1 added minute of a dull first half
United had their little spurt but that is it
Half-time: 0-0
A bit of a bore, really. Not many real chances for either side.
That is it
COME ON UNITED!!!!
VSS isn't let me connect... bugger
WOW, the FA Cup Final is on LIVE on FSC
Citeh score their fourth in added time through Sturridge.
They win 4-2
VSS finally back... for a commercial!
ITV are worse than VSS for commercials
Players coming out
The TV is a a couple of seconds AHEAD of VSS
Come on Kiko... do your stuff
We are off
Bloody red seats again
Vidic falls on his bum and still wins the header
So when is the Cup Final then?
Keep possession United
This is what we have been like for weeks!
Record crowd at Wembley
May 30th.. the Saturday AFTER the European Cup Final
Tevez has got to watch himself.
Foster saves a Cahill shot
That late! Bugger - I think that's the weekend I'm traveling to Florida! Curses!
Foster collected that cross very low!
Bugger
It's not Memorial Day Weekend. That is the weekend before
United are going backwards!!!
Yeah, it is. I've just checked. I've already booked the tickets. Sorry, mate.
Bugger
Free kick chance for United to get it in the box
"Oh dear" for that free kick.
Probably the WORST free kick of all time!!
What are the Everton fans so happy about? This has been dire.
The crowd doing their job
VSS say the acoustics are great
So what changes would you make to win the match?
1717: Anderson curls it out of play, over everyone's head and wide. That sums up the previous 58 minutes - hopeless.
I don't think I would bring on Berbatov. He has been hopeless to
I would leave Macheda on
Scholes on for Anderson maybe
Everton are so predictable. Every ball is lumped in long to Hair Bear.
I'd probably have Nani on for Wellbeck as well. Danny's been off the pace today.
The twins look a lot like Tevez
I keep thinking he is clearing it!
Tev breaks but cuts it back to a trailing defender
I thought Tevez was going to hit that one.
Oh, Park goes close.
ooh, Park hits one just wide
He doesn't score enough
Evra on for Fabio
Evra on for the injured Fabio. Or is that Rafael. I can't tell!
Finally some pressure by the Red Devils
Rafael wins a cheap free kick from Hair Bear.
Sure made the most of that
Never a foul
Gibson dinks it in, Vidic across the face of the goal and no one to knock it home.
Don't take it Anderson.. good cross by Gibson... where was the runner for the knock back
Scholes coming on
I would say for Anderson
About time someone shoots
Gibson with a nice strike
Check it out - secret footage of Everton's final training session before the match today:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk9iP3-SJsM
Park is of
Who is going to play on the right
Wellbeck in on goal and seemingly knocked over. Mike Riley isn't impressed and Fergie's got steam coming out of his ears!
Gibson on the flank
Was that a penalty?
He didn't give it because everyone said he was a United fan
DEFINITE PENALTY
Definite penalty, for me.
Jags never got the ball but did he get the body
Not too sure
Jack Rodwell on for Everton.
20 to go
Come on UNITED!!!
I can't see anyone breaking the deadlock.
Useless corner by Everton
Fergie still jabbering at the fourth official.
Anderson nearly breaks his duck for United.
Nice hit by Anderson
He really needs to score for us...once
So who are your five for penalties?
Corner to United
Vidic with the header but we get another one
We are going to win before that
Was Macheda impeded there?
Welbeck and Kiko almost in... get a shot off!
No comment on the YouTube clip?
Why does that Everton bloke have Pi tattooed on his arm?
Haven't looked at it.
I will now
Nani must come on soon, right?
Boom boom
I loved that show!
Looks as if Macheda's a fan of Ronaldo's hair gel product.
Berba?
Me too - glad you enjoyed it.
Under 10 to go
Nice hit by Welbeck
Keep it down son, keep it down
Yellow for the Hair Bear Bunch
That was nasty on the replay
Here are my five for penalties:
1. Tevez
2. Anderson
3. Rafael
4. Scholes
5. Berba
Fellaini might have gone for that.
COME ON UNITED
I WANT A NORMAN WHITESIDE MOMENT
Berba's warming up for his penalty.
Gibson would knock one in
We still have plenty of time before those
As I said before, United have won 13 straight semis
WE WANT FOURTEEN!!!
Who beat United in the semi last?
Corner for the Toffees comes to nothing
COME ON UNITED!!!
Silly by Evra
Free kick chance for Everton
3 added minutes
Fellaini with another of a catalog of fouls today.
Last minute of added time
One more attack
They didn't even try and get into the box!!
Extra time
From BBC Radio 5 Live's Mark Lawrenson: "The second half was as uninspiring as the first half, turns out it didn't get better. The only real moment of controversy was the fact that there was a stonewall penalty for that foul on Danny Welbeck."
Berba on for Macheda
I would have left Kiko on
Come on Berba... do your magic at last
Three players have taken penalties for Everton this season. NONE are playing
Come on WHITESIDE!!!
NOt a great start from Berbatov
COME ON
Berba-time!
Corner
COME ON YOU RED DEVILS
