It seems that you aren't the only one.

Palace are a decent team. Very impressive particularly going forward. Everton were abysmal.
Didn't really watch much of the other games.

[NYCBlue]

I watched all of today's games on-and-off. Everton were terrible. Forest played very well against a much-changed Liverpool team and will rue missed chances. Southampton fought their way back well, but then Man City went all Man City on them.

[NYCBlue]

I hope Palace can beat Chelsea in the semis.

I hope Palace can beat Chelsea in the semis.

Wonder if they'll just leave 30k empty seats for Chelsea or allow Palace both ends ?😁

[NYCBlue]

I just looked at Chelsea's games so far. Chesterfield, Plymouth, Luton, 'Boro. Jammy *****.

I hope Palace can beat Chelsea in the semis.

Hope Palarse win the whole thing. The other 3 are starting to strangle the competition.

Beating Boro in the quarters is no guarantee of success in the cup

Get's you to the final though.

Kind of flies in the face of the notion that the big clubs don't take the FA Cup seriously any more, doesn't it?

[The Lone Gunman]

The other 3 are starting to strangle the competition.

Also, there have been six different winners of the FA Cup in the last nine years.

As for Liverpool strangling the competition, they haven't reached a final since 2011/12 and haven't won the thing since 2005/06. Meanwhile, Manchester City have won it once during the last decade.

Great to see Sol Bamba on Friday night. Did well I thought. Peltier also came on as a sub.

Thought Forest v Liverpool was a proper cup tie, the goal must have been onside I suppose, but it certainly didn’t look it - I still think offsides should be decided by the position of the feet.

[Seabird]

Great atmosphere at the City Ground, Bob. What I would call an old-fashioned roar through most of the game. Liverpool had to work hard for that, the Forest press unsettled even Virgil Van Dyk.

Chelsea can't sell tickets, but it doesn't mean that Chelsea fans can't attend, nothing to stop the FA from selling the tickets directly for that end

Certainly did well defensively, and also did some good things with the ball while in possession.

would be ideal for us for the current system if he was 10 years younger

Chasetown, Hereford, Wolves, 'Boro, Barnsley...........if only Carling did cup runs !

I must say I really enjoyed it. Partly because I was enjoying a roast dinner with my mum too.

I don't really like Forest much but growing up they were such a big name that it was quite enjoyable seeing them take on a top side again

'Boro were a Premier League team. Wolves were in the same division as us. As were Barnsley. I'm not saying it was a difficult run, but it was a lot harder than Chelsea's.
