Conditions are optimal for us tbhā€¦ no team is quite settled, it will be at neutral ground without fans (right?)ā€¦ and it is one game at a time (two total)ā€¦ one mistakeā€¦ a good performance or moment of magic from Aubaā€¦ you never know.

I wouldnā€™t bet on us, but with only 2 games left, odds arenā€™t mind-boggling.

Playing like shit but in a cup semi-final, superb!

100% guarantee you the Manchester clubs will be kept apart in the SF.

Betting we get Citeh

Not that it really matters but Kendall was runner up in the FA Cup as a player.

Yeah for two different teams. Preston in 64 and Everton 68.

Wiki has him runner up for Preston too

Ugh Iā€™d like to not play them for once

Do not be surprised when we draw them later

Saka :heart_eyes:

Some elite link up play from Eddie there :pires2:

Gotta love the Mackems

Another idiot who thinks xG is relevant

Hang on, penalties donā€™t count for xg?

Cheeky little comment on Shearer at the end. Real banter.:joy:

Yeah that is an interesting analysisā€¦ tbf from what I recall, the pen was kind of a gift, so the main point that we create nothing ourselves is pretty fair.

Depends on whoā€™s making the plot, here itā€™s counted separately, hence the +1 Pen. Otherwise a pen is usually around 0.75 xG in most models.

The absolute obsession with that bloke winning an FA Cup was sickly :joy:

Totally overtook the commentary narrative in the final of 1998 (when we were about to secure a double) and 1999 (when the unmentionables were going to do the same thing)

Yeah it was the play on of the old quiz question of whatā€™s taken to the cup final every year and never used. Replace losers ribbons for Shearer.
