I hope you are right but I expected MC to win today. Have not watched match and cannot understand why they did not care.

They have won how many trophies in the last 5 years and just easily beat this Woolwich team 3-0 a few weeks ago. They came out like it was going to be easy and dominated Woolwich, it was really bad luck and a lack of urgency that cost them today.
Woolwich did nothing impressive today, they did not defend well, they were not set up to repel City effectively in any way. Maybe if they had shown something there would be concern but they have been poor since the restart and have won their past two games by luck getting badly outplayed in both. There is absolutely nothing in their team, play or tactics to indicate that they can beat either United or Chelsea. Just like they did against City and Liverpool they will need to rely on their opponents to come out flat and disinterested and get a ton of luck as well.
Luck and Woolwich go together and sounds like tonight proved that.They have won how many trophies in the last 5 years and just easily beat this Woolwich team 3-0 a few weeks ago. They came out like it was going to be easy and dominated Woolwich, it was really bad luck and a lack of urgency that cost them today.

I seem to recall a similar narrative in 2017 when Woolwich shocked City in an FA Cup semi. We fucked away our semi final against Chavs and Woolwich beat Chavs in Final.
logic doesn’t come into it. There’s nothing surer than those jammy fuckers will win the final. They’ve won 8 of the 9 FA Cup Finals they’ve played in, EPL era. They’ve also faced Man U in two FA Cup finals, Chavs in two and they’ve won all four of those.
United and Chelsea will have a lot more motivation to win the final if Woolwich is able to hold on against City (which is still a big if) and not a chance that Woolwich can beat a motivated United or Chelsea. They got lucky today playing a City team that put in zero effort and they still needed a lot of luck to get by in that game.
Fuck why did you have to say this out loud? You are wrong literally 100% of the time so now it's certian they'll win. Fucking hlel.United and Chelsea will have a lot more motivation to win the final if Woolwich is able to hold on against City (which is still a big if) and not a chance that Woolwich can beat a motivated United or Chelsea. They got lucky today playing a City team that put in zero effort and they still needed a lot of luck to get by in that game.
In 2017 they were 5th in the table 1 point off of 4th, 3 points off 3rd. Now they are 10th in the table 9 points from 4th, 10 from 3rd. This Woolwich team is not very good at all.
i know people may have been burned before but I am not sure there has ever been an Woolwich team this bad to make a final. This is not the same of a good team getting some luck to beat a slightly better team, this is a bad team needing more than just luck, they need the other team to be awful as well as luck to win.
5 wasted yearsSays it all that either Ole, Lampard or Arteta will win a trophy before Pochettino
Is it just me or is anybody else finding this quite amusing that until old Jose starting building up the Europa League nearly every Tottenham fan and there dog didn’t want anything to do with it.
Very sad but accurate statement indeed. . .Says it all that either Ole, Lampard or Arteta will win a trophy before Pochettino
Not going to lie I don't care if they win it and it prevents us getting Europa. I'm adamant that Wed/Saturday represents our very best chance of getting back in the ECL.On one level, I just couldn’t give a fuck. I hate all 3 of them. Chavs and Man U are no great shakes though. It’s a very winnable final for Woolwich. This season, Woolwich took 4 out of the 6 league points off Man U and came from behind with 10 men to draw at Stamford Bridge.
You just know they’ll win it to fuck us up. Just like 6th place Chelsea had no chance going over to Munich to play Bayern Munich in their home stadium in the final in 2012 and the future was rosy for Harry after securing 4th place.
