March 18, 20187 yr Been difficult to tell which is the Premier League team here between Wigan and Southampton.
March 18, 20187 yr Shame to see Wigan out, they did well in the first half but Southampton upped their game after that.
March 18, 20187 yr I knew we would get drawn against Spurs. On one hand it's a bit disappointing considering we could have got Southampton, on the other hand we definitely would have had to play Spurs anyway at some stage in order to win the FA Cup as I think it's between us and Spurs and whoever wins that semi final will win the FA Cup this season. The Wigan vs Southampton match was very entertaining to watch and Wigan should count themselves unlucky that they lost today as they performed really well, especially in the 1st half when they dominated the match. Wigan look like a team that could cope well in the Premier League and I wont be surprised if they get back-to-back promotions over the next couple of seasons.
March 18, 20187 yr Would rather have Soton or Chelsea than Spurs but if we beat them at their gaff I'd be pretty optimistic of lifting the Cup.
March 18, 20187 yr Author Spurs are so good at bottling it when they look like they have a sniff of success, so fingers crossed! I'd say that the winner of this Semi will be the winner of the cup.

Wigan look like a team that could cope well in the Premier League and I wont be surprised if they get back-to-back promotions over the next couple of seasons. It would be great to see Wigan get back up after a few seasons out of the Premier League. Just hope they won't go straight back down to League 1 like they did last season.
March 19, 20187 yr Shame to see Wigan out, they did well in the first half but Southampton upped their game after that. It was very much the proverbial game of two halves. One of the tests for a manager is whether he can make a difference after a first half as poor as Southampton had. Mark Hughes seemed to pass that test yesterday. Now he needs to keep that improvement going for the next couple months.
March 20, 20187 yr It would be great to see Wigan get back up after a few seasons out of the Premier League. Just hope they won't go straight back down to League 1 like they did last season. Disagree, Wigan can stay in the Championship/League 1 as long as it suits them. They don't have the fanbase for a Premier League team.
March 21, 20187 yr Man Utd v Tottenham will be live on the BBC on Saturday 21st April at 5:15pm and Chelsea v Southampton will be on BT the following day at 3pm.
April 21, 20187 yr So for the 8th time in a row in a FA Cup semi-final, Tottenham have lost. They also remain without a trophy for a 10th consecutive season, their longest such drought since the Second World War.
April 21, 20187 yr I would say a missed opportunity for Tottenham again. Falling short. They need a trophy next season, I would feel.
April 21, 20187 yr I thought Pogba and Sanchez were our best players in that match and it was nice to see Sanchez keep up his FA Cup goalscoring streak at Wembley. Tottenham were all over us in the first 20 minutes but we grew into the game and I think it's a deserved victory for us.
April 21, 20187 yr Author They also remain without a trophy for a 10th consecutive season, their longest such drought since the Second World War. Only 2 trophies at all in the past 25 years! I would say a missed opportunity for Tottenham again. Falling short. They need a trophy next season, I would feel. Arguably they needed one this year. Interesting to see how many stay given the wage structure and the continuing lack of trophies
April 22, 20187 yr Harry Kane was nowhere to be seen, well and truly pocketed by Smalling & Jones! I hope Southampton beat Chelsea but it's very unlikely that will happen. A Man United vs Chelsea final would be something that Ray Wilkins would have loved to see as he played for both clubs so it would be a fitting tribute to him I suppose. Royal Wedding or the FA Cup final? for me it was always going to be the FA Cup final regardless of who made it through to the final, I couldn't care less about the royal wedding to be honest so it's an extremely easy decision for me :lol: Edited April 22, 20187 yr by Evil Houdini
May 19, 20187 yr Cup final day today! It's a shame how much the match has been overshadowed, it would be very easy to forget for a non football fan that the FA Cup final is taking place later on today and I don't think this has ever been the case before. Hopefully we wont underestimate Chelsea because they are capable of being dangerous on their day despite their poor form this season.
