    Agreed. Let’s get behind the team with a bit of positivity.

    Fear the worst and it may happen. Hope for the best and you are no worse off if the worst happens...except you’ve been happy for longer.

    Good news that we have Sian Massey-Ellis on the line, the only AR I could possibly name.

    Especially after the first 20 minutes! Anyway nice to see that some of the press have acknowledged we are playing in the match but receive 20% coverage of Leicester, so that's encouraging, because they will have to carry out a rewrite of already penned match reports extolling the virtues of Leicester which somehow failed to be witnessed!!!

    What do linos even do nowadays? Check if the ball has gone out and any fouls right in front of them?

    She was one of the best at getting offsides correct but now VAR is in play that doesn’t matter

    It's players who have played for 2 or more of the semi-final clubs.

    There’s no real point us winning, which we clearly won’t, as we’ll only get battered by City in the final, if I’m reading some comments correctly.


    Odd that it seems sometimes what you expect to happen, doesn’t. As neatly proved in today’s other semi-final.

    Form goes pretty much out of the window when you get to the latter stages of a competition. It's all about who plays better on the day or even a stroke of luck or genius could decide it. It's all to play for tomorrow. Can't call it.

    All mine have played for Saints and Leicester?

    Doesn't matter especially, just usually these quizzes are exhaustive lists :)

    I reckon BT Sport have hit the jackpot with this tie now. I can see a thriller in the making. 3-2 to someone.

    Yep proof of my earlier statement that hope for the best and you remain happier longer....and guess what, the worst doesn't always happen.

    I should be a life coach <laugh>

    My plan continues. I asked for Leicester to beat Utd and Chelsea to beat Sheff Utd, so that Chelsea could then pick out and beat City - leaving us with Leicester...

    I give us a one-in-three chance of beating Leicester. And the same again for beating Chelsea. I'll take that.
