    Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final

    It's definitely doable, I think I'm partly insulating myself against defeat because I didn't against Luton and it was horrible lol I think as much as we're likely to raise our game, players like Rashford, Garnacho and Fernandes will too because it's Wembley etc. I don't think we'll get blown...

    Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final

    Difficult to call for me. As loathe as I am to put Lati at RB again, having that and MvE in front of him means we can double up on Garnacho (it feels ridiculous typing that) but also use MvE's pace on the break. Need to get at Kambwala if he's playing. The team basically picks itself, unless...

    5 days away now, might as well start a proper match thread. Formations etc., all the usual.

    Wembley plans

    10ish train down from Leamington to the stadium. Will mill around watching the crowds build up and take in some atmosphere, probably walk down Olympic Way because mum hasn't done it yet. Not sure about drinking, might just go in the fan zone outside the ground for a bit then into the concourse...

    Shades of Stern John v Derby when he was on a hattrick and McSheffrey wouldn't let him have the pen. Stood on the halfway line sulking while it was taken.

    Wtf are these arguments about the pen, obviously Palmer is going to take it. And why is Jackson getting so aggy on Madueke's behalf? Edit: Or was Jackson arguing because he wanted it as well. Either way, fucking stupid.

    Cole fucking Palmer, that is ridiculous. He makes the game look so easy.

    Beto has to score there. Difficult chance at that speed but your 2 yards out man

    Obviously they've condemned it, but how many places would have to review and add "don't whip players" to the fan code of conduct because it apparently isn't a given? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68818787

    United v Cov Predictions

    My initial prediction was 4-1, might bring that down to 3-1. This is the kind of game that has a lot of hype, can the Championship club do it against an under par Prem team, they did in the last round etc. then ends up a bit of a damp squib as the gap in quality shows. As long as we put in a...

    Blackburn away

    3 purchased, chance for us to have lunch and a catch up with the Rovers side of the family before heading to the game together (but in different stands obviously)

    That's all that's left now. Hopefully there's enough people with eligible accounts left to snap them up.

    United v Cov Predictions

    Just watched the Man U highlights on MOTD, if a decent version of us turns up then next Sunday's game could be absolutely anything. That's a very big 'if' atm though. Won't enjoy slinking back to Stretford if we get battered.

    Bet it's still just those 10 blokes at the back of the corner nearest to us trying to sing

    Any idea what the connection between the clubs is? Or have a bunch of Blues fans randomly made some mates when they've been over one year?

    Start with the strongest team, sub as needed. If you completely rest people it'll be 12 days from the last game to the semi-final. Play MvE further forward, start O'Hare again to try and play him into form, give Wright 60 mins max. Hopefully we're 2 or 3 up by 60 mins and can ring the changes...

    Generally it was fine but it was particularly moody after that first game, I'm guessing because they'd had to sit in the away end of their own ground. A lot of territory marking going on.
