Terrible match.

Even the pundits have said it straight away

It’s not surprising as I’m sure both managers will be happy with that. Just awful football......

Fromola · « **Reply #323 on:** April 17, 2021, 06:27:58 pm »

City got a brutal few weeks of games. Just hope they go out in Europe rather than risk fucking up the title. Don't give a shit if they win the domestic cups or not rather than Chelsea and Spurs.

Watching with the sound off.
Just done a piece with Poland’s No1.
Didn’t hear what was said, but deary me we broke his heart a few times judging by the goals they showed.

All the games are catching up on teams, as well as no crowds.

Chelsea and City are a bit more insulated than the rest because of the squads they have, but they were still both away in Europe midwek.

Micah Richards screeching is GBH to the ears

Gaz75 · « **Reply #327 on:** April 17, 2021, 06:32:37 pm »

At least the environment gets a break, would have been some plastic there today if fans were allowed.

he said he was critical of Tuchel at the start of his reign as he was annoyed that Frank was sacked as he felt he should have been given more time!

Just what you want from your pundits, loyalty to your pals rather than unbiassed analysis

De Bruyne crocked

Loll Steffen

AndyMuller · « **Reply #333 on:** April 17, 2021, 06:45:34 pm »

Turned it off and put the snooker on. Hope they both get battered in their respective European semis.

What has happened to Sterling?

He has been poor for a long time now. Is his England starting spot guaranteed?

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #335 on:** April 17, 2021, 06:46:00 pm »

1-0 Chelsea

Hate when you press the keeper rush button on FIFA. Nightmare.

Turning Chelsea into this, during the season, is a madness.

Steffen letting the American GK fraternity down...

He's the epitome of a confidence player. When he's on form he looks top drawer when he's off it he looks hopeless.

Thankfully Everton didn't test him in the last round.

That Fernandinho with yet another foul and still no card?

redgriffin73 · « **Reply #342 on:** April 17, 2021, 06:49:52 pm »

Should've had a second.

WorldChampions · « **Reply #343 on:** April 17, 2021, 06:49:53 pm »

Should be 2-0

Don't care who wins this, but hope Chelsea beat them in the CL final if it comes to it (unless our CL qualification rests on a City win).

Would anyone here love to be 1-nil up in a FA Cup semi-final?

Christ I'd fucking love it. It's been too long since we won this cup.

Richards at half time said something like lampard would have got the team to this level if he’d had the time. Would he bollocks lad, then admitted he was biased because frankie is his mate

Their XG over the season is a comfortable 2nd behind City.

Lampard was badly underachieving. They spent 250 mill in the summer ffs on what was already a strong squad.

Was just thinking that. It's gone very strange, like there is no energy left.

He'll never be booked cause I'm waiting on him to be booked in the last leg of an accum to win some nice money.

That one was a joke! Waited a good 2 mins for the ball to go out of play expecting the ref to go back to him but nope.

I will bite, what is XG? I keep seeing this in the last year or so. something like Chances created?

That's the problem with these pundits. Some random foreign manager is always fair game for a slating because they don't know him from Adam. If it's one of their mates or the old boys network then nobody will ever say a word against them.

Tonyh8su · « **Reply #356 on:** April 17, 2021, 06:54:43 pm »

Refreshing to hear the commentators calling out the new fad of players holding up time by pretending they have a head injury.

Expected goals based on quality of chances.

Was thinking that earlier myself, John. Boss weather, pubs back open and 1 nil up in an FA Cup semi would be boss.

Finally a yellow card for Fernandinho!
