 Man City into the semi finals yet again  , and  on course for another treble.

Is it just  me or is City's continued dominance  really boring? 

Was it as boring for non-United fans when  United were  dominating in the 90's and 00's? I can't  imagine it was

The media are in switch off in regard to talking about a Treble. Any other club at it would be the talk. There is no drama, no adversity, no story with Man City. They're just a product of Sports washing.

If Liverpool did not win the League in 19/20, City would be going for 7 in a row titles this year.

United won Premier League in (1996/97) with 75 points - Newcastle Arsenal and Liverpool were joint 2nd with 68 points.

Coventry City stunned Wolves to reach the FA Cup semi-finals for only the second time in their history thanks to two stoppage-time goals at Molineux.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Liverpool are still in contention for the fa cup. City have real madrid in the quarter finals of the champions league.

Arsenal and Liverpool are ahead of city in the league.

It is anything but inevitable. If City pull off a treble from here it will be some achievement.

What are they  doing in the FA cup? ;)

Yes Arsenal and Liverpool are still there ,  but  city won't be far away on all three competitions.  I just find  it  all very boring, and I find it very difficult  even to watch city  play (even the highlights)

If City beat Real Madrid in the FA Cup, it'll be an achievement unmatched anywhere in world sport

In all seriousness, City will win at least 2 of those trophies #115

Expect Madrid to beat City in Europe tbh. They'll win the league imo but Liverpool possibly beat them in FA Cup.

Man United absolutely blessed there.
Feel sorry for Coventry, hopefully they can win the penos.

Utd will get humped in the final so just another stay of execution
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

It's a bit like the meeting Dublin in the Leinster Final. It's nice to get there, but once your there you realise it's not the 90's anymore.

That's a couple or more times ETH has taken off his better players thinking the games won!

He might not make the final

Man Uniteds FA Cup to lose now surely after beating Liverpool with a last minute winner and now surviving a comeback from Championship side Coventry.
Name on the trophy type of stuff..

United only lost by 2-1 in last years final. It's a one off game and maybe some of their players who have been jogging around the pitch for the last 9 months might decide to put in a shift. It is the chance to win a FA Cup winners medal after all. There is still some value to it.

The bad news for Utd is City are out of the Champions League. Those 3 games of distraction would have been a help.
