The last ten minutes of our 3-2 win, sat listening to the radio with my grandad who was a united fan. Believe it was Rob Gurney commentating at the time. I gave him some proper banter, even as a 12 year old.

Sounds more like Stuart Linnell than Gurney, in that commentary.

Apparently Stuart Linnel won’t be at Wembley as he is receiving chemotherapy.

Well that’s it then. It’s City’s title. The champions are back on top and logic tells us they win it now. But when was football ever logical?

Did anyone hear Paul from Cov on Popmaster today? Think he ran out of people to shout out, so he started rambling about Cov. Sounded fissed as a part

Thought doug king was pretty good on talksport just then

 

[SBT]

Absolutely chucking it down in London today…should be dry on Sunday, but temperatures struggling to get into double digits.

What did he have to say?

Thought it was interesting that the only round where we've never left an FA Cup competition, is the semi-final. See no reason why that should start on Sunday.

Slightly surreal hearing Ten Hag talk about us being dangerous and them needing to play to their best to beat us!

Wonder what he’ll say after we rip
them on Sunday afternoon?
Probably say “I told you they were good”

Par for the course really. I’m sure we said the same about Maidstone!

I know it’s only a dream but if we reach the final would we at a disadvantage as our season ends on the 4 May and the cup final is 3 weeks after or would be long rest benefit the players?

Best make the play offs just to keep us ticking over then

The final? Undefeated in that too

I think we all know that isn’t going to happen!

MR’s “goal that saved Alex Ferguson” is getting a lot of mentions in the media in the build up. I can’t help but think he could also end up being the reason Ten Hag gets sacked if we win… it was meant to be!

Silly old duffer that I am
Spent all morning at work singing the Haji Wright song and the Wembley again one
I'm a tad excited

Good job I've got the Tena mens

Well he is hardly likely to say we a fucking shite and they should put 10 past us is he !!

My Grandad passed away a few weeks ago, so it’s going to be a very emotional weekend. One of the last conversations my dad had with him, he predicted Coventry to win 2-1.. so here’s hoping we have an angel in the sky watching over us on Sunday 🩵

I don’t think we’re going to get to the final either so in for a penny…

Never lost a final either

Cov fan won on Popmaster today
He beat a guy from the North East so he was probably a Man Utd fan
Good omen

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

WLADITT to be played 5 minutes before kick off, hopefully we give it a good rendition. Will be weird actually being able to hear it properly over the PA system, wonder if they'll dip the volume for the chorus like at the CBS.

Do it for the fans, do it for yourselves, do it for the club, but most of all, do it for the Roy Keane and Gary Neville meltdown video afterwards.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I'd start

Collins
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Sheaf
Torp Eccles
COH Simms Wright

With COH out wide right when defending, but when attacking being behind Simms and Wright who are in a 2.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Just bagged Sheaf in EAFC Team of the Season. It's an omen, I tells ya.

 

[Bosworth Blue]

Wilson
MVE Lati Kitching Bidwell
Sheaf Eccles
O’hare Allen Wright
Simms

Jokes that Man U fans will be looking at cov twitter thinking we will be nervous and all our fans care about is that guy who gets sausage and chips before a match

 

[hamertime]

Is anyone really bothered what the score is on Sunday? I’m just gonna enjoy the day knowing this is a free hit and we’re back. This just feels like the start of our club rising
