Sunderland v Newcastle. Very tasty!

Arsenal v Liverpool should be a belter too.

Potential shocks for Bournemouth at QPR and Aston Villa at Middlesboro?

Brilliant game between Wolves and Coventry today.

Bueno scores for Wolves on 88 minutes and looks to have won them the tie. Simms on 90+7 equalises for Coventry before Wright scores in the 100th minute to send the Championship side into the semi-finals.

The magic of the FA Cup is well and truely alive!

I've not watched much football lately but that was an unbelievable game between Man United and Liverpool.

I'm not quite sure how Liverpool lost the game. They were very wasteful in the final third and I thought some of Klopp's substitutions were questionable when the scoreline was 2-1 to Liverpool. You could see Man United's equaliser and winning goal coming a mile off but fair play to United they did what was required and will fancy their chances of making the final now.

Semi-final draw (both games at Wembley)

Coventry v Man United
Chelsea v Man City

Crazy game yesterday.

I can't imagine Klopp being happy with that performance - they were very wasteful in the second half - almost complacent. I don't think substituting off the two fullbacks helped Liverpool and the keeper should have done better with the winning goal.

Chelsea v Man City will be interesting. Both league matches were draws including a 4-4 draw.

How lucky were Man United?

That Coventry dislowed goal would have been one of the best FA Cup comebacks and biggest shockers ever. Hard not to feel sorry for them.

Coventry can feel hard done by but should be extremely proud of their display yesterday and their cup run.

Without VAR the goal would have stood and we'd be talking about the greatest comeback and shock in FA Cup history.

Emirates FA Cup Final

What a half for Man United and under pressure manager Erik Ten Hag!

They lead Man City 2-0 at hal-time thanks to goals from Garnacho and Mainoo.

Martinez and Varane have been fantastic at the back for United but City have been very poor and can't complain about the half-time score.

Emirates FA Cup Final

What a half for Man United and under pressure manager Erik Ten Hag!

They lead Man City 2-0 at hal-time thanks to goals from Garnacho and Mainoo.

Martinez and Varane have been fantastic at the back for United but City have been very poor and can't complain about the half-time score.

City were terrible in the first half. They improved after half time but United held on.

Onana had some big saves and having Martinez and Varane back in defence made a difference.

Some City players didn't perform and you have to wonder whether this will be the last we see of some of these players in a City shirt.

Surely United can't sack Ten Hag now?
