Not liking Jones and Smalling, they were run ragged at Wembley in the league match?
Hope United don't concede inside 20 seconds again!
It's warm at Wembley but a rainy at the moment
So much for changing the side for playing so bad against West Brom
Will Fox have their own commentators from LA or will they have Martin Tyler?
Got the BBC link going strong
The Spurs goal against United in the league was 10.49 seconds
I have it tuned to FOX . Here to join you for the semi action.
1963 was in your lifetime?
Nope... my bad
Is this is home advantage for Spurs?
United are not exactly strangers to Wembley
The crowds will be even..no Spurs stuff around the ground
COME ON MAN U
LOL!!! Just giving you a hard time. Still a lot of semis
Here the teams come out at Wembley
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Teams in the tunnel at Wembley. Does that make Spurs the home when the semis are supposed to be neutral.
Please go over to Martin Tyler!!
Jose exchanging pleasantries with the Spurs staff. Will he do the same next Sunday in his last ever meeting with Arsene.
I'm with you on the Cup semi thread now - thanks for posting it. The in-laws are having a slow morning, so I'm taking advantage.
It is going to be the numpties from LA!!
A pleasant day at Wembley. Low humidity and little breeze.
Mourinho could have had a fresh shave for the occasion. He used to be so dapper in his Italian suits. Now he just looks like a grump old geezer.
Away we go....Teams changing ends. United going the same direction as they did when they conceded inside 11 seconds
Shocking decision from Fox. I can't stand this commentary pairing.
United get us underway
BBC link just having them switch ends
They're off from Wembley
And we're underway at Wembley!
We did it... got past the 11 second mark!!
Fast start from Spurs. HK tries a pop and earns an early corner.
Agreed. Disgraceful from FOX.
But they do get a corner
Hate the damn sound!!
It is so muted because they are in the damn studio
Son almost in.... almost a pen... another corner!
An early Spuds corner cleared. Ten Valencia tackles for another Spuds corner./
And another corner earned by Son. Good pressure from the Spurs boys from the off.
The sound is poxy.
Sanchez first touch... such an atrocious pass
He is still down
Well done United! Great to be past the ten second mark
Sanchez has a great record in this competition. Nice if it would continue with United.
Don't understand why Jones and Smalling are playing after they were destroyed in the league match
VAR in use today
Why did Alexis wait so long to clutch his leg in pain?
Breaking news...United in the attacking half!!!
Bloody VAR!
Trippier heads out for a United corner.
United with the corner.... Sanchez to take... HOPELESS!!!
Better from United now. Trippier is forced to concede a corner from a long looping cross.
Cleared by the first man
Young should take corners...he whips the ball in well from free kicks
That was a rubbish corner from Alexis.
Someone should complain to Fox about this amateur hour coverage
Sanchez has scored a few goals at Wembley
Lingard.... atrocious cross again!!!!
Another corner
Vertonghen clears a pass from Lindy for a United corner.,
Let's hope Lindy can do better. That is better - but cleared out.
The corner from Lindy headed away as United keep possession.
Teams attacking their fans in the first half
I think Spurs chose sides because this is the way they like to go for home matches
Then Pogba is offside.
Lingard's attempt of a cross was so bad... how is that possible from professional players
Don't they practice!!
Lukaku with a chance... called for pushing
The Chunk offside off a cross from Pogba as he heads well over.
One nil
Alli with a tap in after a great cross!!
That's how you do it!!
BUGGER !!! ALLI SCORES WITH A FAR POST TAP IN OFF A CROSS FROM ERIKSEN ON THE BREAK OFF A LONG CLEArance.
Sorry, chaps - Dele Alli slides in to connect with Ericsson's pass. Spurs 1-0 up.
I hope Lingard, Sanchez, and co are watching how to the ball into the danger area
Eriksen caught Pogba out of position off the long clearance from Davinson Sanchez. Then the rest led to a goal.
Again, I don' t know how Untied are ahead of Spurs in the table
United were nearly in there - claimed a handball. Nothing doing.
Sanchez was involved with the goal. Just the wrong one though.
VAR.... nothing given
Were they checking for handball?
Pogba apparently switched off for goal
Now he tries an atrocious move and then gets megged!!
What a numpty
Kane almost in!!
Oh - Kane nearly on the end of a great ball in from Son.
Harry Kane was not Able to connect at the far post off a cross from Number One Son
Jones just keeps putting his hand up for offside instead of marking Kane
Smalling not marking anyone
Jones ignoring Kane
Spurs fans out singing United fans
Come on Red and White Army... let's be hearing you
Why does every Spurs cross look dangerous!!!
Nice job by Jones there
Great tackle by Jones on Delle Alli off pass from Number One Son by the United goal.
Jose is pissed...it's your fault!!
That should have been two
So open for Kane!!
Spurs are all over them!!!
Eriksen just wide off a pass from Kane . Spurs could have been four up by now.
Luckily they are only one down
Lucky United are only one down. They can still get back into this match
Valencia blocks from Number One Son for a Spuds corner on the break.
United don't look like a team
They don't seem to know where each other will be or have no idea what each other are going to do
First semi for Spurs in fifteen years. That was a North London Derby in South Wales?
GET RID OF THE BALL EARLIER POGBA!!
They lost last years semi to Chelsea!
That goes back to the manager. He's not coaching.
United do nothing with pace
I forgot about that. What a great match. Thanks for the reminder.
Definitely still time for United to get back into this one. Remember what they did in the Manc Derby recently.
Free kick chance... useless but United keep possession
YES!!!!!!!!!!
SANCHEZ!!!
GOAL! Alexis squares it from a lovely chipped cross by Pogs!
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! ALEXIS HEADS IN A CROSS FROM POGBA, WHO TACKLED DEMBELE TO WIN THE BALL.
Pogba sets up Sanchez
Alexis actually celebrates a goal for a change!
Great header... United now need to start playing!!!!
First time this match Pogba and Alexis have done something good this match
Why is Jose in shirtsleeves? Surely it's not that warm today in the UK!
He does celebrate when he scores
He doesn't celebrate when someone else does
It is mid 70s
It was in the 80s yesterday I think
Alexis with half a dozen goals in five Fa Cup matches at Wembley . I told you he has a great record in this competition.
Correct UWS. it's in the low 70s and almost calm winds. It was that hot yesterday
ooh, Lukaku tries to find Lingard...just to high for him
Oh - Lindy had a free header there, but he got the timing all wrong.
OH!!! great cross from the Chunk, but the header from Lindy was poor.
Number One Son booked for a foul from behind on Alexis.
Oh when the Saints, Go marching in
Oh when the Saints go marching in
Just warming up for tomorrow
1976 Revisited!!
Weird that the last two FA Cup wins for United for United have been against low teams
Millwall and Palace... bring on Soton
I wish Pogba would do things at pace
He goes slow motion all the time...he didn't midweek and went at the defenders then set up Lukaku
The sound is so muted!!
PEOPLE NEED TO COMPLAIN!!
I was thinking the same . A rematch of last year's final would be great. The League Cup that is, but in the FA Cup.
Herrera concedes a free kick to the Spuds.
Decent effort of a break by Lukaku
This is turning into a classic!
Pogba with a clumsy challenge on Number One SOn concedes a free kick near the United corner flag
Sunderland have been relegated because Barnsley and Bolton play each other.
Oh - Son was in there and I think he skimmed the bar with his volleyed effort. Offside, though.
With these free kick, corner deliveries... are they trying to do too much
Trying to whip it in?
Just get it in the box and let people attack it
Son almost in at the back post!!
Number One Son got behind the United defense , but was over with a close range volley off a pass over the United defense from Eriksen. Was it offside?
Again, Pogs strolling to a ball
SPRINT TO IT
That's absolutely correct. A sad day for Fred, but surely he knew this was coming. Next second will be only the second ever for the Black Cats in the third tier.
That was a TACKLE BY MOORE tackle by Herrera
Luton were promoted today
Mo Po telling the fourth official that the ref is not his friend.
Sunderland have only spent one season outside the top two divisions in the entire history
Son played in again but he let it run too far. Earned a corner though.
Number One Son wins a corner off of Smalling
United survive again
United back line has been ripped apart
Pogba has a chance to sprint but lallygags.... and finds Herrera...should have been better
Fred is asking who are Accrington Stanley? Dare I answer that?
Lukaku with a chance... hopeless effort blocked
Touch... BANG
That's how you do it!
Decent effort by Pogba
Corner
Still took too long to shoot
Hopeless corner again...I hate it
Pogba has a deflected effort pushed around by Worm for a United corner that is cleared by Delle Alli and volleyed over by Herrera.
Please pronounce the words properly
It is the Premier not PremEAR
It is the Sem E not See I
A pair of stoppage time minutes according to our Friend.
Sem I
Not sure why they pronounce it that way. I dopn't even hear Americans pronouncing it that way.
Off the post... United defenders look like they are in cement on the rebound!
United survive
OH!!! Spurs nearly take the lead. A long range effort off the post was anything but a Dier.
Half time
United lucky to still be in this!
Off to listen to the BBC
It's 1-1 at the half where Spurs were the better team
Whew! What a first half - could have ended up 2-4 of something. United somewhat fortunate to be level.
I know that Leeds have only won the Cup once(1972) but I didn't realize that the 1965 FA Cup Final between Liverpool and Leeds... both were going for their first FA Cup win!!
That's a an interesting fact
Spurs on the field already....here comes United
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
The second half is underway .
COME ON MAN UNITED WIN THIS!
Spurs get us underway in the second half - come on, you Red Devils!
They are off
The Red Seat Brigade in full view after half time
John Strong with really weak commentary.
Why do you need refreshments for 15 minutes!!
You don't have to have anything for two hours of the match!!
Jose has a spot on his shirt
Poor showing
So bad by Herrera
Valencia should have gone forward but went back then Herrera kicks it out of play
United playing in their 29th semi final
Equally Arsenal's record
Let's win the Cup and equal Arsenal again
United sitting back...
Alli fouls Lingard
Pogba got the ball and could have burst into space
Lingard still needs to score his Wembley goal
Is Jose a messy eater?
United free kick chance... foul before it comes in
Bloody waste
Agreed about equaling the Gunner's record and who better than ex Gunner, Alexis?
United should have won the Cup in 05 v Arsenal...we wiped the floor with them but lost on Pens
United could have beaten Chelsea in 07 for another Double... losing in ET
Too tricky of a pass there by Sanchez
Lukaku or Sanchez should have shot
This one is really delicately poised at the moment - could swing either way, or go to extra time.
Sounds like Election Night Special Mr Dahlgren
Lukaku does run forward with the ball... shame it is in his own half
That's a good way to describe this match
Valencia needs to take on people!!
Great tackle by Jones on a Spuds counter despite being sandwiched.
By the way, here are the PPP stakes for this match.
Those who picked United to win the Cup:
Blue Devil, Swansong
Those who picked United to lose in the Final: Red Devil 1FCK
Those who picked Spurs to win the Cup:
The Saint, United We Stand, Yellows
OH!!! Kane had a shot deflect off of Smalling for a corner . That could have gone just about anywhere.
I remember picking Spurs because it would be home games
De Gea has not made a save, right?
A great opportunity for points. The same tomorrow.
So, what would you rather have, mate? United in the final or 8 more points in the PPP?
atrocious free kick by Sanchez..... I DON'T GET IT!!
If I were coach, I would be so pissed with the lack of quality from goal scoring opportunities
Apparently the Spurs are marching in....
I don't think he has that I can remember. Worm has made a couple of saves.
I think you know the answer there mate
YES!!!!!!!!
HERRERA!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! Yes, I think I do. However, that Shield would look nice in our front room.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! HERRERA GIVES UNITED A 2-1 LEAD.
GOAL! Herrera breaks the deadlock!
That little kid with the writing on his cheek
It was THFC written in a mirror!!
Nice hold up play by Alexis and Herrera met it with a thump.
2-1 United!
Don't sit back!!!
Nice pass by Pogba... Lukaku hits it wide
More like it
That was route one from United . A long punt from De Gea skimmed off the Chunk's head and made it to Alexis, who out muscled Trippier. He cut in and passed to the Chunk , who passed into the box. Lindy let it tun in and Herrera shot past Worm
Oh - Lukaku had a half chance there. Jinked inside but went near post rather than trying a curler.
Nice pass, but it was going to be tough to score from that angle.
Lucas coming on to replace Ben Davies now. Not sure of the point of that.
An attacking switch from Mo Po as Lucas Mora is on for Ben Davies.
Just got a text from the Gooner. He wants United to hold on to their slim lead./
The handbags have been tucked away again and we're off again.
Gooner says Jose looks like he's hung over from a night of heavy booze last night. That may be true,
That was my feeling about Jose. He looks as if he needs some sleep and a shave.
Decent pass by Pogba to Lukaku...ran out of gas
Phew...I thought that was in
OH!!! A long range effort from Eriksen is inches wide. I don't recall Desmond being invited to this match
United are fifteen minutes from....well, usually I'd say Wembley, but they're already at Wembley. What a shame. It used to be special. Now every Tom, Dick and Harry Kane plays there every week.
Desmond Tutu's visa has been revoked.
