They keep coming

He made a good point about cup upsets that generally, the lesser teams goal is bombarded for 89 minutes and a breakaway goal decides the match.

That wasn' the case on Wednesday, which made the performance, if not the result feel a lot different than the de riguer shock.

Only problem with the article was that he said it would be our first major final.

That’s right, Utd looked dangerous coming forward but more often than not we dealt with them comfortably. Some of the superb passing and little flicks from our players made us look like the Prem team at times and it certainly wasn’t a ‘backs to the wall’ performance.

Nicely written piece with some good points

Its nice to believe that the country , except Red Mancs and Sags would think football was the winner on Weds night

The sort of result that gives the vast majority of Clubs hope that their night or day of fun and glory can still happen and will still come

Almost felt for 90 mins we were representing all those outside the big 6/7 and certainly the 72 Clubs outside the Premier League

A very good, and largely knowledgable article except for one mistake.

It says that it would be our first major cup final if we beat Manchester Blue when we had that already against Manchester Red in 1909.

That's a long time before 1992. You'll have to forgive them.

To be fair it does say `in living memory`. I don`t think we have many 108 year old fans still knocking about.
