Oh dear oh dear off the beeb.

Manchester United's fans are having some fun at the expense of their Manchester City counterparts.
City supporters sing 'this city is ours' because United is in the Trafford borough.
United's sing in response 'this city is yours? 20,000 empty seats, are you sure?' with an expletive thrown in.
There were a lot of empty seats for City's FA Cup semi-final victory over Southampton on Saturday.

Chelsea didn't sell out either and it's on their doorstep. I saw an interesting snippet from a newspaper that someone posted. It was one of those "On this day" items and was referring to Rat boy making his debut at the swamp in 1992 against Torpedo Moscow in a Uefa cup tie. The crowd? 19998. Bit more than 20000 empty seats me thinks.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

Same with orher cup games at the swamp where they've had top tier closed. We all know it, we also know that the media don't show it or report on it. I could care less. I was there like the rest and will be back for the final - despite ranting against it being down there. Sing your songs boys and girls, you'll finish below us and pot-less for another year

Many, years ago, to my utter shame I went to a night match at the swamp, my mate had free tickets given to him. Anyway the rags were playing Wimbledon, they were in top division then, awful game I think rags won . Attendance 25,000 it’s a myth this full stadium nonsense.

Here , why not ?

5-4 Jeez how bad were both teams at defending ? I think Bayern will win it next week. They had so many chances and Olise was in great form. A shame he could not really capitalise .

What sort of game is it in the Semi Final of a competition when both teams make so many mistakes ?

Great from a neutral perspective. Watched thw game and thought it was end to end. The defending from both sides was shocking but the attacking quality was suberb. Thought PSG could score each time they came forward. Be interesting to see who learns more and tries to adapt next week - I suspect neither will change. Thought it did illustrate that both teams are not used to defending in their respective leagues. Totally opposite tonight. I could see this tie ending 5-4 but that would be on pengys.

I was impressed by the intensity of both teams for the 90 minutes. Full blooded and sprinting to close down the high press from both teams. No wonder players were cramping up after 70 mins. Arsenal's defensive structure will be very interesting against that strategy (if they get there)

As Salford said the defending was a joke as was the goalkeeping, if Ederson would have let a couple of those that Neuer did he'd have been crucified.
How good is Olise though.
