Kick off is at 2:45 so I will be able to watch the first half and some of the second until I have to leave to pick up Kathy
I will be able to listen to 5Live thankfully....in other words...I know what happens before you guys who are watching!
United beat City three times last season....twice in the league and the second leg of the semi final
They drew this season
City don't have the upper hand on United right now
City to wear retro Colin Bell #8 shirts for warm up tonight
The Line Ups have been announced
Manchester United: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Pogba, Fernandes, Martial, Rashford.
Subs: De Gea, Telles, Bailly, Tuanzebe, James, Mata, Matic, Van de Beek, Greenwood.
Manchester City: Steffen, Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Foden, Sterling.
Subs: Trafford, Walker, Jesus, Aguero, Rodrigo, Mendy, Nmecha, Harwood-Bellis, Mbete.
Strong line ups for both teams
Plus hasn't started yet and it's past 2:30!
Still nothing
Finally!!
5 minutes before kick off
Hi guys - it's all kicking off in our nation's capital with armed Trump supporters storming the Capitol Building. So it seems odd to be watching a footer match this afternoon. But I'm here.
City have their Bell shirts on in the tunnel on top of their flowery warm ups
the City of Manchester have won this Cup in 9 of 15 years!!
Geez
Crazy scenes.
Good Afternoon, Dave . Here to join you for the big semi
Good Afternoon, Bob. Definitely crazy and scary times
Mike Summerbee in the stands looking very somber
If Old Trafford was packed with 76,000...I think it would have been silent
Citeh reserve keeper is James Trafford. Odd last name for a Citeh keeper. Sounds very United
Away we go
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
They're off from OT
COME ON MAN UNITED!
I hope it is not the same kind of match the league meeting was
I think Citeh have won the last four League Cups and United won the one before that. Definitely don't want Citeh four eating like Pool did in the 80s
Ball in the net!!
Rashford thru...flag didn't go up.... shot saved and rebounded in....it was well off!
JUST LIFT THE FLAG!!!
Thought United had taken the lead but the goal is disallowed for offside. Route on off a long clearance from Dean Henderson then Rash with a shot saved by Zack Steffen then the rebound off Stones for an OG. The replay showed Rash was offside when he received the pass
This should be encouragement for United
Previoues winners
06 United
07 Chelsea
08 Spurs
09 United
10 United
11 Brum
12 Liverpool
13 Swansea
14 City
15 Chelsea
16 City
17 United
18 City
19 City
20 City
Now City get the ball in the net... and is met by a foul
PHEW! Now Gundogan has a goal disallowed for offside off a pass from Foden as Citeh is getting their one touch passing together
Come on, United - a Man Utd v. Spurs final has a nice ring to it.
Geez.....United passing inside their box with players there waiting
According to the list the last time a club other than a Manc or Jose club won was the Swans in 2013. That streak will continue
Oh - Pogba overcooked the cross there, otherwise Rash was in there alone.
Decent start to the match
Nice open start to this match.
I remember Utd not being able to win this trophy until '92
Lost in quite a few finals
We have now won it 5 times
Liverpool 8
City 7
Villa 5
Utd 5
Chelsea 5
Spurs 4
Forest 4
decent effort from Brunoldo...well saved
Zak Steffen does well to turn around a long range shot from Bruno headed for the upper 90 off a pass from McTomain
Corner sort of punched away by Zak Steffen, but not real convincing
Surprisingly open match. Would love to put one over Jose
That's the type of tackle that should be carded... totally blatant done for a reason
KDB.... with a corker... hitting the inside of the post!
OH! Long range rocket from KDB crashes off the post
Oh - off the post from KDB!
Looked more of the inside but the replay shows it hit flush
United need to stop playing out of the back so much and losing it
United's front three can be dangerous but they want to not shoot!!
Obi Wan stupidly gives the ball away to Foden then stupidly fouls him
EVERYONE goes gaga over every move them make
I hate it
Move it quicker Bruno... Rash made the run
THIRD time the ball is in the net
Foden nets but the flag is up again.....who needs VAR!
DAMN! FODEN GIVES CITEH THE L;EAD. PHEW! NO HE DOESN'T AS HE WAS FLAGGED OFFSIDE DESPITE NUT MEGGING DEAN HENDERSON
Nice effort from Rash
Corner to United
Phew! Ball's in the net but ruled out.
Dangerous one...just misses someone at the back post
Nice move but the final ball was errant. Martial might have had a go himself.
Rash offside again!
Why is Martial not shooting!!!
Long range shot from McTomain well over
Sterling goes down... ref says no foul
That Shaw was not a Sterling attempt to win a penalty despite nice long ball
Sterling crumples to the floor under Shaw's challenge, looking for a foul. Silly boy - nothing doing from the ref.
Get it over SHAW
Shaw loves the short little pass to....someone else
Pogba... have a better first touch!
Stop all this passing around in your own half!!
Pogba was really good versus Villa.....it is never a start of a trend!
He always goes back to crap
Why wouldn't he want to excel in this type of match
I think this tie goes to ET if it's level at the end of 90 minutes
I can't figure out Pogba , but hate his attitude that he only has to try every so often
A long cross from Rash...looked like a weird block by Stones
That looked like hand ball by John Stones in the box. Why wasn't it called?
There is extra time then pens unlike the other rounds
Sorry I've been so distracted during this half. The country's just falling apart.
Thanks Dave. That's what I thought but wasn't sure
Into 1 added minute
Pep doesn't look pleased. That's a good sign. A minute of stoppage time
TERRIBLE PASS BY BRUNO....COME ON!!!
Another terrible play by him.... tried a cross with the outside of his foot straight into the shins of a defender
Long range shot from Mahrez as it's 0-0 at the end of a decent half
That's it
Half time
I don't think City have been that much better
I hate the late flag crap... What happens if someone gets hurt when they play on!
Back on for the second half now. The National Guard have been called in to break up the protest at the Capitol.
Teams coming out for the second half
I will be here for about 15 minutes
I'll be back for Extra Time if it is needed
No changes for either side
I am sure Ollie will rest some players for Saturday's Cup Tie vs Watford
He better not rest players for the Burnley game with looking forward to Liverpool
BOTH games are important
Early free kick to United... swung in...cleared at the back post
Pogba screams with pain
Ferdi is faking being hurt to avoid a worse color card
Bugger
City take the lead
AWFUL defending!
They just let the ball go across the box!
TERRIBLE
Sorry, chaps - Stones has finished off a free kick and put Citeh in the lead. Really jammy.
VAR checks... it stands
How do three players let the ball go across the box!!!
Shaw and Maguire sort of Ole'd the ball
Poch's first match is against St Etienne....they fell behind but have now leveled
Other games around the continent
A Bilboa losing 1-2 vs Barcelona
A Madrid got beat by a third tier team in a cup match
Inter lost at Sampdoria
Juve and Milan drawing against each other
I am off now boys
I'll be back if there is Extra Time... if not...TTFN
Have a good rest of the week
Come on, United - get it back!
Cheerio, Dave!
Back from lunch . Didn't see the goal but heard then saw the replay that Stones headed in. Sadly Citeh is good at sitting on a lead
Cheers, Dave.
Henderson turns around a header from Sterling off a cross from Foden
OH! Foden jus fails to connect on the cross from Cancelo
Karate chopped cleared by Ruben Dias for a corner
Long range shot from Fernandinho comes off of Maguire and straight to Dean Henderson
United are still in this one. They've got a little over a quarter of an hour to rescue this cup tie.
Horrible karate chop or more flop to attempt to win a penalty off of Ruben Dias
DAMN! FERNANDIN HO SCORES A CRACKER OFF A VOLLEY OFF A CORNER TO PUT CITEH TWO UP
Bugger! Fernandinho has scored what seems like the killer blow. From the corner. a volley that trickled through a crowd.
Corner headed out by Maguire then Obi Wan then volleyed by Fernandinho
Big shout for a penalty there. Nothing doing.
VDB on for Fred. Should have been done a while ago
A trio of stoppage time minutes
Sorry, David - not to be United's day. And apologies for being so distracted today. The news is extraordinary today.
Citeh into the Wembley final with Spurs.
It's over and Citeh are in the final for the fourth consecutive as they defeat United 0-2 at OT. Citeh vs the Spuds in the final on April 25th
I'm off to catch up on the news. Nice chatting with you; shame about the result.
Cheerio!
Thanks , Bob. I'm watching the news too. I'm really upset by what I'm seeing
Cheers , Bob. Great chatting with you. I'm watching the news too
