The FA Cup semi finals 2013

Man City vs Chelsea

Millwall vs Wigan

Wigan shall be taking 20,000 fans to Wembley due to the incompetance of the FA combined with there small fan base

The FA are putting 6,000 tickets up for a "neutral zone" aka "the extra Millwall fans who couldn't get tickets in time for their 31,000 selling out" although anyone attempting to enter this zone with a Wigan or Millwall shirt will be denied entry until they change.

Wigan are a joke. Millwall better win.

So ill informed Nick.

Not the fans fault the last train to Wigan is at 7:30 and the FA decide to put kick off at 5:15. Not a chance they would make that.

I wouldnt wanna fork out another 150 odd quid on a hotel after tickets and a train already.

FA need to start taking the fans into account

I would. Its the first ever trip to Wembley, for Wigan this is maybe a once in a life time moment, chance to get into the FA Cup final.

I think the main thing to blame is having the semi finals at Wembley. One of many stupid idea's by the rubbish FA.

My predictions for the semis are:

Wigan 3 Millwall 0

Chelsea 1 Man City 1

Predictions then:

Wigan 1-0 Millwall
Chelsea 2-1 Man City AET

They should have the semis in Cardiff. The Wembley Cup Final experience is ruined by the semis there but I suppose the FA are trying to make back the money spent on the place.

Last year Liverpool and Everton didn't want to play on the anniversary of Hillsborough so Chelsea v Spurs was at 6pm! Because ITV wanted people to be able to watch United v Villa on Sky at 4pm meaning the Chelsea game could have finished at 8:45pm. What made this decision even worse was that Chelsea had to play Barcelona in the UCL semi 1st leg on the Wednesday night!!! The FA could have stepped in and made the game start earlier or at 1 or 1:30 which Chelsea suggested and they just proved they are useless.

Barcelona had five days extra rest too! Looking back I say who cares? But at the time it was a ridiculous decision to make. You'd have thought the FA and English media would want to help out their own clubs in Europe because how well they do in Europe trickles down and helps us keep 4 UCL spots and 3 EL spots.

the semis should be where they used to be and thats villa park and either old trafford or stjames' park.

i like the idea that the fa had a meeting once and said where should we host one of the semi finals. villa park? yeah perfect, villa wont trouble us in having to find an alternative venue.

comon wigan!

Wigan 1-0 up. Can only see one winner from here.

Wigan have dominated the early exchanges and are 1-0 up after 24 minutes, Shaun Maloney with a fine finish from close range.

Yeah if Wigan get another one its game set and match. Sadly.

Millwall fans #headsgone

I like how Ray Stubbs claimed it was one section of fans when the cameras showed at least two sections kicking off. What were they even doing to provoke police presence? Fighting each other Montenegro style?

I missed all the kicking off. Was it bad? 

What's happened?

Just seen the footage. What a scummy bunch of bumholes. A big fine is surely in order.

Now, I like the Millwall fans but then I like the Millwall fans. But which is better? There's only one way to find out....

There were scuffles in the crowd. Some bloke had a bloodied nose, some girl was crying and some moron stole a police officer's hat.

I'm not sure his 5 minutes of fame will be worth it come the morning.

Anyone listen to 606? There was a bloke on who started crying because the girl crying in the Millwall end is his 7 year old daughter. Terrible thing to happen whatever level the game is being played. Can't imagine what she must have felt.

Awful Jay. Never ceases to shock.

There must be cameras everywhere at Wembley, identify the scumbags responsible and give them banning orders for life. Anyway, today is about Wigan, and they gave a clinical display to book their place in the final. Never a hint of an upset in this game, so well done Wigan.

The guy that stole the hat is definitely getting porridge, 100%. That'll be dealt with more severely than the actual fighting. As sad as that sounds.

I think the picture of the girl crying says it all. Stupid stupid fans.

Big big congratulations to Wigan. Also, I love that red kit. Should be Wigan's full time away kit from next season.

This is the thing with Millwall that some fans will turn up for the big occasions to have a fight.

Doubt you'll see those thugs at the New Den week in week out.

Only want the attention and unfortunately they tarnish the name that is Millwall

Millwall don't help themselves do they

You see this is the problem when Millwall get a big game, fans who don't actually support the club will come out and look for a fight. To blame all of the Millwall fans is wrong, as when i have been away to the new den a few times, some Millwall fans i have spoken to are actually very nice people. You just get idiots like today who turn up and have embarrassed a great football club in Millwall FC and over shadowed a brilliant day for the football club, getting to the FA Cup Semi finals, but sadly it will be remembered by these idiots.

Congrats to Wigan, a place in the FA Cup final. If they can stay up, another amazing season for Martinez. Surely time for him to move to a better club!

Man City playing some decent football.

City all over Chelsea. Still it's only 1-0 City, and Chelsea are still in it.

Millwall, eh, who knew?! Scummy little club.

I want City to win this, although I don't much like either side, as it'll be interesting to see whether the FA Cup is enough to keep Mancini in a job

Plus I love Carlos and hate fatty and Terry

City just too good for Chelsea. Second time in 6 days they've outclassed a CL team away from home

Aguerooooo! 0-2 City, and I think that's them in the final now.

Great goal but Chelsea's defending was pathetic from the set piece.

Chelsea jut haven't been at the races today.

#RafaOut

Rafa needs to make a change and now, he needs to be seen to do something. Putting Luiz in midfield, and throwing Lampard and Torres on might be a good idea.

A mans man is Torres. Wuss.

Aguero is quality

Now that is quality.

Game back on.

And what a natural finisher that fella is

I can definitely see it going to extra time now.

Super Gimp on to save Chelsea

Fantastic finish by Demba Ba. Great goalkeeping though by the city keeper. Chelsea turning it on now!

Can't be a scarier sight in football as a defender than a rampaging Yaya Toure.

Man is a mountain and a half

Aguero is lucky to get away with that stamp.

Disgraceful from aguero.

That had to be a pen - all over Torres there.

Man City vs Wigan fa cup final

Regardless of the score, does this mean Wigan will be playing Europa League football next season?
