Out of Cup on pens

Everton 0-0 United (aet 0-0, penalties 4-2)
FA Cup Semi-Final at Wembley; attendance 88,141
When the United's team was announced it was clear there are games coming ahead that are considered more important. But a good effort all round. Strong solid defending. The only let down was perhaps too many touches in front of goal almost trying to walk the ball into the net.

So when it comes to penalties it's a bit of a lucky lottery. Did well to win the last three shoot-outs I've witnessed but today it wasn't to be. If you don't get your win with two hours of football you can't have any complaints over what happens next. Good luck to Everton in the final - you'll be able to see the pre-run on Wednesday when they meet in a league fixture. Live on Sky Sports.

Thinking about the Portsmouth home game on the same night. Not on Tv but usual seat to see a different line-up.
