The Millwall goalkeeper tried his best to kick Mateta’s ear off his head. It’s still recovering, so they have jury rigged a water polo helmet to protect it.

And Villa, for all their lauded talent, could’ve scored…:man_shrugging:

Henderson made one tough save that I remember.

Well, Villa was missing Rashford, so …

Ahhh yes, I remember that play

Sure. His inevitable hat trick would’ve forced extra time.

Richards had yet another cracking game today.

Yesterday,
Auburn beat Texas and Florida beat Oklahoma in one side of the bracket.
Bama beat LSU and TAMU beat UGA on the other.

Florida and TAMU won the semis and are facing each other right now on the SEC Network. It is a close match at 2-2-1 through holes 4-6.

The only surprising aspect of the United-Bournemouth game is that the ref — after sending off a Bournemouth player and then somehow giving 9 minutes of stoppage time that allowed United to draw even in the 96th minute — didn’t make United and Bournemouth keep playing until United inevitably scored the winning goal.

It gets ever more difficult not to put this shit down to corruption.

I feel sorry for fans who have become so entitled to success that they have fallen out of love with the FA Cup.

The atmosphere at the other semi-final is like a library. I know ESPN lowers to crowd volume vs. NBC, but there is no energy in the stadium.

Forest fans should be having a day, yet they’re just sitting there looking scared.

The Spurs aren’t offering much resistance to Liverpool.

Palace finishing above Man Utd or Spurs, or doing the double over Brighton, or going deep in either cup competition, or making Wembley…

I would’ve taken any one of those and deemed it a successful season. Very likely, we’re going to do them all.

So, Citeh it is then. Palace are about to get royally fucked on seat allocation for the final. Citeh will get twice as many seats (and struggle to sell them).

In the 1990 final vs. Man Utd, in a stadium with a capacity of 85,000, Palace was allocated 16,000 seats.

Fuck Man City. Those guys are assholes.

Just seen it. It’s a bad foul, but it’s not a red.

The fact that it was VAR that pressed for the red just makes it stink even higher.

Exactly.

I am still on Cloud 9. I have consumed all the Crystal Palace content on the internet, and am now watching Villa content to bathe in the tears of my enemy.

I’m not even mad that the highlight reel does not include Mateta’s (wrongly) disallowed goal, while making room for multiple Villa misses. I noticed, and I find it curious because it makes the game look more even than it was, but I’m not mad.

And, yes, I have re-watched the entire game.

Chris Richards is glad all over.

Martinelli is decent at forcing the action on the wing, but he’s a terrible finisher. If he’s taking the shots, you’ve got a problem.
