Emirates Fa Cup 2022/23 Soccer

Watching the Man City v Chelsea game.

On paper, the tie of the round but the gulf in class between the two teams is evident to see.

City winning 3-0 at half-time and Chelsea haven't even had a shot on goal in the first half.

Graham Potter seems completely out of his depth. Abramowich would have pulled the plug on him already.

Stevenage on the verge of knocking Aston Villa out of the cup.

Villa were winning but had Dendoncker sent off with 5 minutes left.

Stevenage has scored twice since the dismissal.

The FA Cup third round has seen eight Premier League sides come and go - Arsenal, Leeds United and one of Liverpool or Wolves could still be knocked out. ⁠

Man United 3 Everton 1
Crystal Palace 1 Southampton 2
Bournemouth 2 Burnley 4
Blackpool 4 Notts Forest 1
Brentford 0 West Ham 1
⁠Sheff Wed 2 Newcastle 1
Man City 4 Chelsea 0
Aston Villa 1 Stevenage 2

Just when I thought the 4th round wasn't going to produce a "shock" Brighton dump Liverpool out the cup.

Maybe that isn't too much of a shock though.

Gutted for Brighton.

They didn't take their chances during the match and paid the price in the end. Sadly, Solly March who had a good game missed his penalty in sudden death and Man United scored to progress and give us an all-Manchester final.

Looking forward to this final. If City play to form they should win by 2 or 3 goals but United could easily win by 2 or 3 too.

Only surprise is Guardiola has stuck with Ortega in goal instead of first choice Ederson.

The atmosphere at Wembley is amazing.

I think playing Ortega is a big risk for City, might just swing it United's way.
