Bottom of the championship Plymouth knock out Liverpool who looked pretty average without Salah, Trent & Van Dijk

I don’t actually watch that much football outside Man Utd but watching villa right now is a whole different experience. They’re creating chances every minute, everybody knows what they’re doing, it’s a whole different level

Outside of the front line, none of that team are regulars :lol: These results happen and fair play to Plymouth. Sounds like Gomez going off with the injury early didn't help matters either.

Yeh Plymouth deserved their win - defended resolutely, just hope we can win on Wednesday!

Pretty underwhelming draw

Fulham are the one of the only teams we seem to be able to beat this season so couldn't have asked for a much better draw.

Would be nice to see a team who’ve not won it in a while taking it this season, not the currently shite big clubs like United who’ve won it plenty of times.

Anthony Gordon randomly for no real reason decided to push a defender in the head and get sent off with a few minutes to go at 1-1. Looks like extra time. He’ll also miss the league cup final vs Liverpool which they really needed him for

Amazing finish by Welbeck looks like Brighton knocking Newcastle out

And breathe. Brighton are through. I assume one QF will be Man C v Preston.

Well they’re doing the draw after this game so we shall see but if they do it’ll be ridiculous.

Man Utd look hopeless as always. 0-1 down hopefully a better second half. This cup is winnable again

Great finish from Bruno and Man Utd SHOULD win it from here but ya never know with this team

Much better second half from Man Utd. Everything looked better once Hojiund came off. What a useless player he is

Four of the quarter-finalists have never won a major honour.

Lindelof had no business taking one. Zirkzee is rubbish. Onana dived a minute before they even shot. All three need to go.

Happy for anyone to win it except Man City.

In fact I think Villa will win it

Obi did more in 30 minutes than Hojlund and Zirkzee combined have done in 3 months.

Season will be over for us a week on Thursday, stick that final nail in.

It's all on the Europa League now in terms of winning a trophy for us, almost nothing to play for apart from that now. It will be very anti-climactic if Man City go on to win the FA Cup so hopefully that doesn't happen. No way Fulham are winning it though, a day out in Wembley is the ceiling for them.

Can't wait for Amorim to be given money. He is truly out of his depth. So thankful we swerved him.

Surely they have a much chance as the rest?
