Leeds just stomped the shit out of Cardiff in their replay.

Carabao Cup Semifinal - 1st Leg

Southampton 0 - 1  Newcastle

Saints didn't play particularly poorly, but as usual, switched off and got beat.

2nd Leg in Newcastle, where they have like a gazillion straight clean sheets in a row this year. This one is pretty much over.

The FA Cup wrapped up round 3 yesterday with League One team Accrington Stanley beating Boreham Wood of the National League. That leaves Wrexham as the sole National League club left in the FA Cup.

The 4th round plays this weekend with games Friday-Monday.

No comments on EFL Cup going to Man U?

I know I should always root against Manu U, but i did enjoy the Geordies being knock down a peg.

Southampton play Grimsby Town today in the FAC Cup. Quirky storyabout Harry the Haddock.

 

[Captain Ron 13,137]

Harry the Haddock lives for another day.

These guys just got promoted to League 2!

[sidis 10,020]

You get what you deserve

[Captain Ron 13,137]

Frankly, I would not have bet against Sheffield they form they have had. When they won against Wrexham, I always felt it was the end of the road for Spurs. Sheffield was playing too well and Spurs having to go on the road was going to be a tough out.

 

[sidis 10,020]

dude, i should be able to count on a big 6 club disposing of a fucking championship team that barely snuck by a glorified intramural team.  if i remember, wrexham was a paul mullin choked pk from winning and their entire team could be paid by kane's salary alone.

but you're right, i get what i deserve.  last time.  

[Captain Ron 13,137]

Quarter Finals are set:

fuckin' hell. Saints are going down. Lost to a League 2 team.

Grimsby converted 2 penalties and didn't do much else. 

 

final 3rd, gentleman? ever heard of it?

[yoladu 4,198]

just catching up on the highlights/lowlights.

check out the penalty (start video 0:30) yeesh. that deserves a 3 game ban. The Liverpool thread would have gone down in flames if that had gone against them.

there is also a handball by Grimsby (0:08) in the lead up to the second penalty given against Saints.

Yeah. Saints should put up at least 3 goals from a League 2 side and win easily, but those referee decisions are horrible.

Incredibly boring FA cup game, but wow what a save by Sanchez. 

[WBT 21,040]

FA cup final in 10 minutes

[WBT 21,040]

That didn't take long 

[WBT 21,040]

Bruno ties it on a penalty

[WBT 21,040]

1-1 at half.  United probably lucky not to be down but anything can happen now.

[ztejas 44,299]

Always strange when you have to root for United. 

[WBT 21,040]

City back up 2-1.  Seems like De Gea should have had that one

Edited June 3, 2023 by WBT

[ztejas 44,299]

Rashford is such a fucking pussy. Get off the ground you have 10 minutes left in a cup final. 

[WBT 21,040]

That was probably the best chance United will have.  Strange that De Gea didn't come up for the corner.

[WBT 21,040]

City wins.  Save us Inter Milan, you're our only hope.

[sidis 10,020]

Maybe if they get this treble, Pep will peace out. 

he could always come to Everton if he’s feeling unchallenged.

He’s a great coach, not a miracle worker.
