Must be a day for comebacks. Man city win it 3-2. A lucky peno and an offside goal wins it for them. No var. The quadruple is still on.

They really need to have VAR in Championship grounds, as well as Prem grounds from next season. I can get lower league clubs not having the costs to operate VAR, but a lot of Championship clubs throw away silly money on wages, like Sunderland last season, which could be used to fund VAR

Wolves lead man utd 2-0. Can utd do as good as city and comeback to win it. They havn't much time left. Eleven mins to go.

No they can`t. A late consolation but Utd still go out of the Cup. So there will be no all Manchester semi final or final. After their come back today Man City must now be the clear favourites to lift the trophy in May but Wolves might be worth backing also.

FA Cup semi-final draw

Manchester City v Brighton

Watford v Wolves

Will Wolves reach their first FA Cup final in nearly sixty years? Or will Chris Hughton`s Brighton cause a major shock and dump City out of the Cup?

Watford win it 3-2. Hard luck wolves. They had a great cup run and for almost 80 mins in the semi final they were the best team. But thats no good to them now. Its a watford v man city final.

Man City are still on course for the quadruple and Watford are into the FA Cup final for the first time since 1984. City will start as clear favourites to lift the trophy but no doubt will remember their shock final defeat by Wigan in 2013 so should not be too complacent come next month.

News outlets are reporting that Delaney has told "friends" he is to step aside from the F.A.I.
The FAI has not yet released a statement.
He will continue on the gravy train in his UEFA role.
Will he get a handshake ,golden or silver?

An away win and a clean sheet for arsenal, thats unusual. Chelsea also into the semi final. Maybe both european competition finals will involve 4 english teams, or will any of them reach the finals?

Well it gives you a good idea of the standard of the English clubs. Me, I personally thought that the standard had dropped in recent years but Klopp has brought a new attacking style of football to Liverpool and I think that only for the improvement there City would have had the league wrapped up long ago. All the other big clubs are just fighting for a top 4 spot.Maybe the English game isn't in such a bad way after all.

Former Celtic captain Billy McNeill - the first British footballer to lift the European Cup - has died aged 79.

McNeill led Celtic when they beat Inter Milan 2-1 in 1967 and captained the club to nine successive titles, seven Scottish Cups and six League Cups.

In two spells as Celtic boss, he won four titles and four cups. He managed Clyde, Aberdeen, Manchester City and Aston Villa too.
