Coventry - Pre Hype

The key facts and figures before the FA Cup semi-final between Manchester United and Coventry City at Wembley on Sunday.

Manchester United have won 13 of their past 15 meetings with Coventry. This will be the first game between the sides since September 2007, when the Sky Blues won 2-0 at Old Trafford in the League Cup.

United are playing in their 32nd FA Cup semi-final, two more than any other side. They could reach the final for a record 22nd time (currently tied with Arsenal on 21).

Coventry are playing in just their second FA Cup semi-final, previously beating Leeds United in 1986-87 on their way to winning the trophy.

The Sky Blues have scored 19 goals in this season's FA Cup, more than any other side. The last club from outside the top flight to score more in a campaign was Wrexham in 1977-78 (22).

Sides from outside the top-flight have lost their past six FA Cup semi-finals - most recently Sheffield United last season. The last side to reach the final was Cardiff City in 2008.

Have we sold out? The club emailed to say still some tickets remaining earlier in the week.

Should any berts see this, tickets remained available to qualifying ST holders only, not like their tickets which are given away free in their hundreds to schools all over GM to any pupil that can name 1 thing that is blue coloured.

Haven't we suffered enough?

Had the nod for Big Bob Thomas as a goal scorer.

No

The £#%&!ing squad

Just take Mount out back and put him out of his misery.

Casemiro at CB most likely.

Of course there’s more injuries. Two for players that don’t even £#%&!ing play. There’s something wrong with what we’re doing. This isn’t luck

Who the Christing shit are we going to play at centre back?

he's having trouble adapting to the northern air

It’s incredible at this stage. Never seen anything like it

… and that’s after previous spells of us “never seen anything like it”

Just play 3 at the back with a solid midfield in front of them. I do realise the fundamental flaw in my plan

how the £#%&! has amrabat got injured? splinters in his arse?

3-1 united....

I'm confident that if we £#%&! up, we're still got an heroic come-back in us.

Well that’s me hyped
