FA Cup semi-final - vs Liverpool Sunday 3pm

[LTA]

Fuck Steven Gerrard. Ending his cup run would be sweet revenge for...well, I'm not exactly sure, but I don't like him and I don't like the media fawning.

I'll start first.

how about his assault on George Boateng at Klanfield in a famous  3-1 win circa 2000 ?

Gerrard has always been a very dirty player IMO, yet like Alan Shearer always gets away with it.

Only downside of today in Sanchez out of the cup semi and possibly Clark and Gabby too. I hope the latter two get fit.

Laughable to think we can beat much better sides than us like Liverpool or Spurs.

Sorry, I might be naive here, but why avoid ?

Bet those supporters who went to White Hart Lane today are feeling a bit stupid, it's a long journey home after a result like that.

we going to turn this into the pre-match thread?

Unlikely, according to Sherwood:

At least we have cover for Clark, but Gabby will be a big miss at Wembley, with all that space to run in.

I'm worried about Coutinho/Sterling up against Richardson

I know, they won't stand a chance.
Still, them's the breaks when you play the Famous Aston Villa!

Honestly chaps how much more enjoyable will the build to the semi final be now that we're a lot closer to safety? I am already enjoying it much more.
