One of the most embarrassing days in the club's history, Coventry were robbed.

They were and yet we have people in the thread mocking others for their reactions at 4-3 in ET

Now we have a mauling against City to look forward to.

Hopefully we can last twenty seconds instead of ten.

That's what my wife says.

We know.

"most embarrassing day in the clubs history" etc is just silly.

cov were lucky to get back into it, we were lucky to hang on for pens. we fell apart in extra time. poor and selfish decision making throughout almost cost us.

the team was a mess by the end. he needs to start harry amass next match because AWB at left back is not the one.

baffles me why he is starting AWB on the left. Surely Dalot would be a better option as the more talented footballer

Jesus Christ, what a day that was. Marcus Rashford hang your head in shame. Say what you like about Bruno but he's ten times the man that fraud is. Anyway, we're through to the final, it's pissed everyone off and put the whole country into a frenzy so for that I'm eternally grateful. I'm getting on a bit now but I really hope to bump into Lee Dixon one day in my remaining years. It would be quite therapeutic.

Manchester United are through to another Wembley final.

Absolutely fantastic.

I don't really know how best to describe that last 20 mins. We're like the Amir Khan of football. Boxing well enough for 8 rounds but the minute someone lands a punch on us - it's jelly legs and holding on for dear life. It's staggering how this team can consistently get itself into winning positions and then completely implode the minute the opposition bare their teeth

Honest to god, how we allowed a team who were dead in the water and had nothing but gumption and effort to claw back a 3-0 lead in an FA Cup semi final is nothing short of rank unprofessionalism and downright idiocy.

Obviously the last two goals Coventry scored were thanks to a ridiculous deflection that could only £#%&!ing happen to us this season and then an even more ridiculous penalty that obviously could only be given against us this season But you always run the risk of this type of shit happening when you invite constant pressure on your goal. How many penalties have we given away this season now? It has to be well into double digits, it's comical.

This team just exudes disharmony, in every area of the pitch none of them look comfortable with what they're doing and there's nothing there in the way of spirit or joy in what they're doing. They look an utterly broken team just waiting to be put out of its misery.

forest whining about decisions. if clattenburg played for us, his head would fall off.

That and unnecessary corners. Our fullbacks are absolute machines when it comes to conceding them.

At least we're not fighting for relegation

The only upsides to the shambles we witnessed are:
- we have a slightly better chance than Coventry of stopping city getting a treble. And by slightly I mean a 1% chance over a zero percent. But it's something
- ETH will be practicing his game management somewhere else next season.

Shows how bad this season has been that ETH getting to a cup final reinforces why he isn't right for the job.

3 in 2 seasons.

You wouldn't think it though. White Transit van drivers up and down the M6 this morning frantically trying to get onto White and Jordan.
