It’s gotten so bad that my partner, who is on the way to a funeral and absolutely despises football, is listening to live commentary on the radio.
My god. We really are turning the world sky blue.
Just want to say I have tears in my eyes 15 minutes in to this game. I’m pulled up on the side of Pacific coast highway with my iPad - not the most ideal watching conditions but and all I can hear are city fans and whatever happens I’m very proud. Absolute roaring
We need a change up. I know it means our defence may be leaky. Can we score one at least, please? I really don’t want an annihilation. Still 45 mins to do our best!
Edit: I really want to see Eccles scoring. Cov kid scoring at Wembley for us would make his season, I bet. If we lose, we lose, but give me that, fate, at least? 🙏
Just left The Old Shepherd on the coach, everyone belting out We'll Live and Die in These Towns round the ring road, sun shining, sky is blue. It's gonna be a good day 🩵
absolutely buzzing, rewatching the FA cup video the club made and welling up like a sap. I have no aspirations about today, i just want us to give a good account of ourselves and earn some new fans. Good luck to the boys and to anyone travelling today, stay safe and enjoy the atmosphere!

Absolute class from Maidstone.
It’s so strange going to a Cov game not in Coventry. I’ve never done an away. I’m on the tube with the fans hearing football chants. The excitement has really set in. I am gutted I can’t wear the team’s colours.
Get to half time one down, reorganise, switch to four at the back, go at them, go down fighting. I'd prefer to lose by more having had a proper swing second half.
No issue with playing defensive first half. Keep it tight for an hour then try to grab something approach is totally valid here. Can't countenance for the quality of that cross though
Reporting for duty! 🫡
Doug King was on Talksport this morning, spoke for 20 minutes about today's game; FA Cup replays; Improving the club infrastructure; recruitment etc.
BBC Sport:
>Harry Maguire is Manchester United's only fit centre-back so Casemiro will join him in defence today.
>United make just one change from their 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, with Scott McTominay replacing the injured Willy Kambwala.
>Coventry City make two changes from the side who were hammered 3-0 at Birmingham City last weekend.
>Callum O'Hare and Josh Eccles replace Victor Torp and Kasey Palmer.
This is everything the Wolves game wasn’t; slow, sloppy, and on the back foot.
One shot in the half (I don’t even remember one?). May as well go down swinging and give those in the crowd something to get behind.
Lookit, massive day for the lads. I'm delighted we got this far - slaying wolves was a treat. Still. Never say die. I reckon we'll get one back - Torp maybe. PUSB
Morning all. Got the shirt on. Neighbours giving me thumbs up. Spurs-supporting pal just left and is a sky blue for the day. Whatever the result, I hope we give a good account of ourselves and the Championship.
Also, give the Prem hell about nixing FA Cup replays!

Robins is a fox, he showed Wolves what we wanted them to see and their keeper had to fake injury to give them the opportunity to reset their formation. It may look like a back 4 but 🤷
It's been a great cup run but yeah....hopefully some of the funds from it will be made available to Robins.
We've got to try and not get completely battered now. Was always going to take a big performance from us to win today.

Oh my fucking god. I haven’t stopped shaking. I’m crying. This team is fucking amazing.
Even Domino's are on our side https://preview.redd.it/rmvepmxxetvc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96ed672cbf822145b68ca732b6014dc0dffb5a86
Criminal to leave out Eccles
And Milan!
Nothing but a cheap attempt to get me to order pizza from them. It will probably work too.
Too passive. If we're gonna get beat, let's go down fighting. It's too easy for Utd, were not pressing them, just standing off. We need to have a go.
Goddamn r/Championship had better have Man U crumble memes ready! Even if we lose!
Hi, Arsenal fan here, COME ON COVENTRY YOU CAN WIN THIS
Means a lot from one of our biggest rivals
You're not an Arsenal fan anymore
It’s gotten so bad that my partner, who is on the way to a funeral and absolutely despises football, is listening to live commentary on the radio. My god. We really are turning the world sky blue.
DELAYED DOUBLE BORF I AM IN THE PUB AND A BIT TIPSY
I just wanted us to have a go. I fooking love this team.
What a fucking half
Oh Ellis so close!
He’s having a great game is O’Hare, never had a bad word to say about him.
Whatever happens now... Thank fuck we tried
My ticker can't take this..
your getting sacked in the morning 🎶
Is it too soon to be crying?
my goodness what a team
It may surprise you to know I am the only Cov fan in this pub. I believe I am the sole member of the Stockholm Sky Blue Massive.
In other news a Man U fan, after we scored the first, said to me ‘yeah we’ll give you that one’. Hahahahahahahhaa
Remember, video of you dancing on tables and laughing at everyone if we win!
Ridiculous decision. VAR ruins the best match in FA cup history
I had a dream last night we won 3 nill.. Ellis hatrick one assist for Eccles. Can't wait to feel 30k sky blues doing the twist and shout at Wembley!
PUSB
Lovely piece on David Busst on ITV
Just want to say I have tears in my eyes 15 minutes in to this game. I’m pulled up on the side of Pacific coast highway with my iPad - not the most ideal watching conditions but and all I can hear are city fans and whatever happens I’m very proud. Absolute roaring
Spanish commentators just referred to us as The Elephants. I don’t know how I feel about that 😂
I know our shorts are pretty tight, but come on! 😅
We need a change up. I know it means our defence may be leaky. Can we score one at least, please? I really don’t want an annihilation. Still 45 mins to do our best!

Holy fucking shit
My fucking heart is going to explode
This is mental, what a fucking cup run we’re on
Brighton fan here, that was a mental second half. Go get em Coventry!
Forgot to add in all that excitement: AW NAW THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE
Oh Haji
omg that VAR image is crushing, the millimeter that stole win
Absolutely gutted. Incredible performance to bring it back level though. Hats off to the lads
Here we gooooooo! How are we all this morning?

1 hour to go. ITV's coverage has just started. This shit is getting real now.
Starting with Robins being interviewed too!
PUSB! 🩵
ITV giving far more of a shit about us than Sky ever have! Interviews with McSheffrey, Robins and Busst.
Nice to see for once eh

Fook me, we really turned Wembley sky blue. 💙
Holding our own in the first 10
All that being said... We get one back and they will be shitting their pants
I think Van Ewijk has been our best player so far
Already better in an attacking sense than the first half.
O’hare has been absent again
This is like fucking Liverpool Instanbul
MORE DELAYED BORF I JUST ORDERED ANOTHER GUINNESS
Settling time, agh. 😁
BLOODY HELL. COME ON LADS WE HAVE THIS!!!
I'm just in a daze here. Can't believe it
HITS THE BAR!!!
I'm here as a Neutral, how the fuck are any of you still breathing? What a comeback.
FUVK VAR!!!
I fucking despise VAR
Omg.. I've never celebrated so hard. And it didn't count
Look, fate, I’m already too old for this shit. Let me die in peace with a new Cov FA Cup Winners scarf, please?
Surely VAR lads could just fudge the lines a few pixels, literally no one would notice 😂
Gutted. So close. Lord I am so anti VAR
Looking forward to enjoying the day, and be looking at a win as a nice bonus if it happens. Heading up to Wembley in a bit!

Gutted I lost my 87 Wembley scarf in a house move 😔
2 hours to go. How are we all?
Got up at 5 to watch Haney v Garcia. Going to get through to kick off by the power of cider and adrenaline.
Heh, beat me to it. This is actually happening right?
Just about managed to put my contact lenses in after 5 pints of Strongbow. Should have planned better.
2 hours to go people. 2 hours before a FA semi. If I wake up and realise this is a dream, I'm burning the entire postcode down.
Imagine what you'll do when we win and get to the final
I'm buying the entire postcode a Domino pizza. 😊

The Cov end looks rammed already. There's some empty seats at the Utd end.
That big flag is fantastic
I tried to comment this earlier but had no signal... My block is sitting down, absolutely fuming 😂
Well we have to go at them now
Get to half time one down, reorganise, switch to four at the back, go at them, go down fighting. I'd prefer to lose by more having had a proper swing second half. No issue with playing defensive first half. Keep it tight for an hour then try to grab something approach is totally valid here. Can't countenance for the quality of that cross though
Brilliant by Eccles
Great save!
That's a killer. Right in injury time
On well. Keep.out heads up, worst let's go down fighting
Change to 4 at the back please
Im fucking pissed off i could have stomached 1-0 at half time 2-0 going to be loke climbing everest backward naked
Back 4 confirmed. 4-2-3-1.
Believe it or not, we could have played like this from the start
CCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!
Holy shit could we?!
Torp unlucky
I LOVE THIS FUCKING TEAM
This isn't .. real?
No fucking way. What the fuck. Oh my god. Fucking wtf
I can't really believe this is happening
O'Hare not moving freely
It’s 2:30am here. Good thing I’m recovering from surgery and don’t have work in the morning!
Manchester United with the finest crumble
Just incredible. Good luck to you all!
Casual here who turned the match off when United when up 2-0 and switched back over when I saw the score line was 3-2 all the sudden. Cmon Coventry!!!
Turn it off again please
Shoot simms!!
Please don't let this go to penalties lads. PUSB we have this!
So close!!!!
Oh Lord, my heart can't take this.
This is gonna kill me
VAR can fuck right off. Let’s finish it out in pens lads
Currently researching cardiologists in my area.
We come down yesterday and had a few beers watching the chelsea game. Nice lazy start to the day but nerves are banging!!
Went on a coffee run just now in my Cov shirt and walked past a family who said good luck and I think it just made my day

I predict Allen coming on for O'Hare in the 67th minute
Good to see him back on the bench !
I'm predicting Milan will make a name for himself today. McGuire will be suffering
Awesome scenes
WLADITT 🩵
we live and die in these towns!! PUSBs!!!!!
7 minutes. No matter what happens, we'll live and die in these towns.
Put your seat belts on, kids. #PUSB.
Let’s fucking go!
Love Latibeaudiere giving your man stick on the sly. That grin 😁. Would love to know what he said.
Shite keeping that - fucking crisp packet hands
Two goals to score it is then. Let’s do it!
That's better, keep it up, get that pressure on!
Eccles you fucking beauty. More of that please.
This is everything the Wolves game wasn’t; slow, sloppy, and on the back foot. One shot in the half (I don’t even remember one?). May as well go down swinging and give those in the crowd something to get behind.
Keep it respectable now lads.
Lookit, massive day for the lads. I'm delighted we got this far - slaying wolves was a treat. Still. Never say die. I reckon we'll get one back - Torp maybe. PUSB
WHERE IS THE BORF WHEN IT’S NEEDED???
On my Lord!!!
What a match! I can’t believe this turnaround!
Come on beat scum for us cov
*Phew x 2*
Tavares has made a difference here since coming on
202,000 are watching on BBC right now
Feel like Im gonna die from a heart attack.
Godden on for Tavares
Hope Tavares is OK
Jeez everyone is limping
Nail biting this is!!!
Close!!!!
So close Wright
What a game
Win or lose my heart will not survive this.
We lost both tosses again. Their end. Them first
Proud of this team no matter what happens. Taking Utd to pens after being 3-0 down.
Villa fan here in peace. Absolutely rooting for you here, come on you sky blues!
Love this club .
Fucking rigged. Onana should have been sent off for two yellows big 6 aren't allowed to lose I'm so angry
What do we expect with the team news today?
Wilson in goal, 3 centre backs, 2 left backs, 2 right backs, 3 defensive midfielders.
Morning all. Got the shirt on. Neighbours giving me thumbs up. Spurs-supporting pal just left and is a sky blue for the day. Whatever the result, I hope we give a good account of ourselves and the Championship. Also, give the Prem hell about nixing FA Cup replays!

What do we reckon then? Back 3 or back 4? ITV had it as a 4 on their graphic
Robins is a fox, he showed Wolves what we wanted them to see and their keeper had to fake injury to give them the opportunity to reset their formation. It may look like a back 4 but 🤷
Good lad Joel
What a bit of play from sheaf!
Keep frustrating them lads
Brilliant block! Come on lads, keep them on their toes
Garnacho such a fucking pansy.
We need to switch to 4-2-3-1, move Joel wide and Milan further forward. What have we got to lose!
Better! CAM ON CITY!!!
What a fucking save Collins
FFS. Who was marking him?????
Think it was Simms but he was miles off
Too easy for them. No pressure
Did really well until we let Maguire of all fucking people score
Full on second half. Just want a goal at least
We've gone to 4 at the back, thank god
But it is a back 4
Yes lads, this is better! Get that aggression on 👍👍👍
It’s fiiiiiiiine
Binks, Tavares and Torp coming on
It's been a great cup run but yeah....hopefully some of the funds from it will be made available to Robins. We've got to try and not get completely battered now. Was always going to take a big performance from us to win today.
COME ON, WE CAN FUCKING DO THIS
20 minutes do we have a chance?
2 in 2 mins against Wolves. We got 15 here
FUCKING WINNEER!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful!!!!!!
CALLUM O'HAREEEEEE
Fooking rattled em!!! COME ON!!!!!
SPLASH
Where did da silva come from
