Liverpool collapse - exacerbated by Brighton’s 4-0 win at Anfield 👍
Which we follow up with a 4-0 at home to Arsenal to keep the title race interesting

No it's not, its just stupidity on his part.
No, giving a yellow card for players taking their shirt off is a ridiculous rule. I will happily die on this hill. It only exists for the benefit of shirt sponsors, it’s typical of everything wrong with football these days.

That’s not a criticism of the ref, he had no choice. But sending a kid off because he celebrated the wrong way when celebrating scoring a winning goal in front of the home end in the last minute against your big rivals to take your team to Wembley just screams that something is wrong with the rules as a whole.

That, and the Coventry match were top-notch viewing, irrespective of one's preferences.
Proper Cup-ties, the like of which have been so lacking in recent years.
The media like to spin us a narrative that the FA Cup doesn’t matter anymore. Tell that to anyone on either side at Old Trafford today or Molineaux yesterday.

Just so long as neither Chelsea or Coventry win the cup, not too fussed
Chelsea Will fail Uefa FFP or whatever they call this week. Don't know if that means they forgo their place in it and it passed to the next one in the league.

Meanwhile all the real supporters of Utd in their replica tops will be glued to the TV's in Taunton(others towns/cities are available) pubs

Absolutely. The shine really has gone from it, a little, mostly down to the fact that the semis are also held at Wembley (along with the total dominance by certain teams), but that was a hugely enjoyable 'watch'.
