FA Cup 2020/21

[The39thStep]

And Spurs pull one back to make it 3-2 . Spurs all over Everton for the first 30mins really but losing at half time

 

[The39thStep]

4-4 now

 

[The39thStep]

Got sidetracked watching a bit of the Porthuese Cup semi final. Braga player injured.

 

[The39thStep]

5-4 Everton

 

[The39thStep]

and not one goal has gone to VAR thank effing heavens

 

[agricola]

what absolute madness

a shame a full Goodison didn't get to witness that, one of the maddest FA Cup games you could ever see

could have finished 8-7

 

[The39thStep]

Brill game

 

[Badgers]

Kelechi Iheanacho is the first player with all the letters in 'chicken' in his name to score a 94th minute winning goal in an FA Cup 5th round game during a pandemic

 

[The39thStep]

Barnsley nearly scored , just as well we’ve got the worlds most expensive keeper in goal

 

[two sheds]

Yep and Barnsley have had most of the play

 

[The39thStep]

They are giving it a good go here Barnsley twice they’ve come nearest to scoring . Pitch is a bit of a nightmare and they look a big side , close down well and break quickly . We had a good pen appeal first half , there’s no var for games not played at EPL grounds though . Anyway don’t like var so that’s just one of those things . Chelsea need to pull their socks up here . Abrahams is getting bullied and Pulisic is non existent .

He's possibly been Chelsea's motm so far, which in itself is very worrying.

 

[The39thStep]

Weird set up with Emerson on the left of the back three as well , although he’s been ok as it goes . Bit disappointed with Ziyech as well

Hudson Odoi and young Billy are doing well.

I've got a bet on Christensen to get a goal at 7/1 on account it's his 100th appearance.
Be a good bet if he actually ventures into their half.

 

[The39thStep]

Thank fuck for that

 

[The39thStep]

And I think Abrahams was prob offside . Watching it in Dazn Spain so can’t understand a word .

 

[two sheds]

REFEREE - clearly offside

 

[The39thStep]

Anjorim on now , very promising young player

 

[The39thStep]

REFEREE - clearly offside

Makes up for the penalty non decision

 

[two sheds]

might have missed the penalty

 

[The39thStep]

Could do with another goal in case Kepa gets giddy

 

[The39thStep]

What did I tell you ?

 

[The39thStep]

Fair play to Barnsley kept going to the end and had both a game plan and belief .
For Chelsea I was happy with Gilmour , Tammy first half ,Zouma , Emerson , Anjorim for bits of his cameo , Rudiger when he came on likewise Reece James . Callum Hudson Odoi best player . The rest mediocre tbh . Any way quarters next against Shef Utd

 

[Lord Camomile]

Did Micah Richards just call the offside graphics "fancy bollocks"?

<edit: Twitter certainly seems to think so As did Lineker's reaction >

 

[BCBlues]

Are you watching Blades...we are coming to blunt your dreams

Actually, they're probably more pleased that its us and not a very organised Barnsley side they're facing in the next round

Tammy saved Kepa's skin tonight with that goal line clearence

So, quarter final weekend.

Bournemouth-Saints would've been my choice to watch, but that and Everton-Man City are on BT tomorrow. Instead us Freeviewers have Chelsea-Sheffield United and Leicester-Man Utd (!) on Sunday.

ETA: To be fair, Leicester-MU could be quite good. I think Maddison is back from injury, so it'll be good to compare him to Bruno.

Leicester (and Everton) have both been great to watch this season, two excellent managers.
I wouldnt write the Blades off either, this is the FA Cup after all.

 

[stavros]

The Blades made a decent fist of it in the second half, and McGoldrick's miss is up there in the annals of history.

I'm going to watch the evening game on catch-up, because 5pm is a fucking stupid time for a kick-off.

 

[Argonia]

I'm marginally better than Sheffield United's strikers
