Man City were desperately missing a big man up top to get on those De Bruyne crosses. I see a multi-million pound bid for Smith coming this summer...

Will Grigg’s Wikipedia page seems a bit personal...

“Grigg was born in Solihull, West Midlands. Due to his severe dyslexia, he was educated at St. George's School, Edgbaston where he regularly wet himself”

Kyle Walker made a right mess of that to give the ball to Will Griggs, who apparently is on fire.

I highly recommend they buy Washington.

I thought Man C were poor thinking they just needed to turn up and no class around the box.
Well done to Wigan

Will Grigg is genuinely not very good though. He's like a lower level Cameron Jerome, prolific in League 1 but struggles in the Championship

he slipped on his arse with that finish, doubt he knew where it was going. Incredibley jammy.

should have focused on Wigan's defence instead who were extremely resolute, amazing display.

I disagree he took the goal well... it went in where he was aiming for even if it was a bit scuffed, Wash would have passed it to the keeper or hit the corner post.

Why do so many games these days end with a few thousand unwashed chavs running onto the pitch? I’m surprised there’s not been anything far more serious than the Simon Royce incident at Stoke in a high profile game.

Great for the proper Wigan fans. All four of them.

im actually pretty jealous of wigan & Rochdale two teams who have things to play for, (wigan at the top and Rochdale at the bottom) but both have given the cup a real go
just for once can't we have QTR final or a special night under the lights

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

It's an interesting point this, was thinking about it on the way in to work.

Not excusing them, but football has created this itself in a way - it's created these multi-millionaires, and the gap between fans and top players is enormous. They're like movie stars. So there's jealousy, anger, fury all there - understandably so. You only have to look at how we felt about some of our recent players. Or how we felt about Chelsea back in 2011. Once you get to that sort of level, people want to tear you down, and those Wigan fans lived that dream and then what should be joy comes out as something more sinister.

The irony is that City are just a bigger version of what Wigan have been in recent years. Wigan are a tiny club, with a very small fanbase, backed to success by a wealthy owner, and even in the Prem failed to sell out for local derbies.

Good on them though - I was very envious. Wish we could pull off a cup shock like that.

Bare bones.

Aye decent finish.

That shirt is awful though, stripes on the front but not on the back?

Like that Nike shirt we had which I thought looked absolutely mint from the front, until the players turned around...

I don't condone violence, but I've always quite enjoyed seeing pitch invasions.(I didn't see last nights though.) Especially at a lower level. Its great when its got real feeling behind it and unbridled joy. A good example was when Rochdale got their first promotion in 36 years. Great stuff. Used to like them at the end of the cricket finals at lords years ago too. As Monty python said, youre no fun anymore

"Wish we could pull off a cup shock like that".

Well we could if the team was arsed at all to show some respect and competiveness to the FA Cup instead of treating it like some kind of unwanted chore to the season and consistently bowing out early. I seems though some fans quite like it this way judging by comments on here about the FA Cup in the past. I would love a decent cup run for a change.

The decline of the FA Cup can't simply be explained by clubs not taking it seriously. Stefan Szymanski's 2001 study seemed to show that it was the fans who were losing interest in it:

It's quite academic in QPR's case as we can't seem to win one whether we take it seriously or not.

Actually, even Wigan 'rested' six for the Bournemouth 3rd round replay.

While they have been a little more serious since (in a cup run largely based on opposition teams having players dismissed) it would be fair to note how badly their League form has declined since mid-Jan - down to 3rd, lost to Blackpool at home before City, key player (Powell) injured, etc etc.

Sadly, 'concentrating on the League' might not be such a bad strategy.

Maybe by bringing back the cuptie vouchers in the season ticket might encourage more fans to go.There is little incentive for any fans to fork out another £20-30 to see 2 reserve sides battle it out.

What do you think will last for longer in the eyes of those glancing at the record books or visiting the Wigan trophy room - The FA Cup win or the Premier League relegation?

Which footballing regimes of the early 21st century will be viewed as primitive spearchuckers one hundred years from now?
