So much to detest about football in 2024, but then you get a match like that seven-goal FA Cup QF at Old Trafford. Glorious chaos. Wonderful spirit. Fabulous mix of refined skills and human fallibility. Last-gasp drama. A neutral’s thanks to both teams.
@rwilliams1947 like they were King Crimson after 'Larks tongues in'...
@rwilliams1947 You’re welcome on behalf of all Liverpool fans wondering how their team managed to throw away such superiority and hand the tie to a woefully outclassed, in the second half, United.
@rwilliams1947 Yeah,you simply can't beat getting thrashed 6-0 at Portman Road.
@rwilliams1947 As a neutral it was like watching 2 very average Sunday league teams, both teams were poor but especially Liverpool.
@rwilliams1947 Coventry’s victory against Wolves was just as exciting. The Premier League may be skewed in favour of the rich but cup games like this give you hope
@rwilliams1947 Glorious chaos sums it up perfectly. Very exciting game but my did Liverpool screw up in the final third during their long period of ascendency.
@rwilliams1947 As a United fan, fearing the worst. Overjoyed. Not displeased at semi draw too (no bye, as Wolves would attest). A fun afternoon 🤪
@rwilliams1947 And on TV! Hurray. Nice to see it live.
