I've not criticised the eventual result, I've given an opinion that to not score in 45 minutes against a non-league team some 4 divisions lower at home, is shocking imo.

I'd say exactly the same if any other PL team playing at home against the same kind of opposition couldn't score in that time, even ourselves.

half time score counts for nothing as you know, 90 mins the important bit

As it stands in Prem Lge, 7th place Everton qualify for Europa League. FA Cup place will go to the Premier League given the semifinalists

Good battling win today - that's the sort of ugly win we haven't managed to get much this year.

Little gap to 5th now

Not the best of performance's today but 3pts on the board, to put a bit of pressure on Arsenal to win their games in hand.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has been ruled out of the FA Cup quarter-final at Chelsea.

Rooney collided with Phil Jones in training and misses out with a leg injury, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic begins a three-game ban for elbowing Bournemouth's Tyrone Mings.

Forwards Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford (illness) are also both missing for the holders.

Chelsea coach Antonio Conte has a fully-fit squad at his disposal.

United have no recognised striker available.

Predictions 🤔

Will never ever understand how people can react with their fists like that. Lack of Brain cells the closest answer

It's because they are pieces of utter filth that cannot possibly comprehend how to behave like a human being.
We really don't need things like him on our planet.
I hope they have no children ............... for all our sakes.

Playing devils advocate, where they not asking for it?

Are people not grown up enough to not resort to violence just because a couple lads singing about a football team - after the England Scotland rugby game the surrounding pubs were full of both Scottish and England fans drinking together one celebrating the other commiserating - England fans singing to have a laugh with the Scottish , no Scottish fan felt that the correct response was to start throwing punches ! So why in football ?

It's clear that some just don't have the brain matter to just realise in a sport with rivalries at times your team with lose and the opponent will enjoy the win and celebrate it - if some can't handle that then they shouldn't be near a sport.

To be honest that was my reaction. At best, goading the Millwall fans given their reputation was an ill thought idea, and it came to an almost inevitable conclusion. To be honest neither side on the clip came out of it well.

All this talk of it not being in rugby is mute as football has always had its share of tribalism and sadly some have used supporting a club, certainly in the last forty years as a convenient excuse to look to have a ruck. That ain't going to change no matter how much tut tutting and hand wringing goes on. Even if the police make arrests, courts rarely back them up and hand out lenient sentencing.

That said, if you know the idiots associated with Milwalll, are two string against a passing wave of several hundred and take liberties and goad them, then you're always going to get one or more rise to the bait.

I'm not condoning what happened but they were not just singing about a football team, they were goading opposing fans by singing [we feckin hate Millwall] whilst they were walking past having just lost 6-nil, I think they were lucky to get just the 1 isolated slap, they could have caused much more of a situation!
