Half-time report will be in the morning after we’ve all woken up.

Thanks to Howard Webb for clearing this up so promptly.

Talking of Chumbawamba has sent me down another memory hole today.

I have some hazy memories of following another anti-fascist band, Blaggers ITA, around in the early ’90s. I seem to remember playing football with them in Manchester at one time. That was after the pub closed on a hot Sunday afternoon to kill some time before their gig in the evening.

Must be the same reason they struggled in Ten Hag’s system?

Arsenal match report

For some reason this match report is in four acts:

Maguire nutmegged himself…

Sterling looked on with impressive sideburns.

Another fantastic penalty save from Bayindir and Zirkzee sensibly chose to shoot to win the game with the final kick.

Extra time proved to be a waste of time. Now it’s a penalty shootout.

1-1 at full-time*.

The two managers presumably threw cups and plates around in their half-time team talks and both teams came out into the second half looking determined to make a game of it.

Bruno scored a fantastic goal on the counter-attack to put United ahead and everything was going to plan. It was the United of old.

For some reason Dalot then decided to try to break his opponents legs and duly received a second yellow card and took an early bath.

For some reason United’s reserve goalkeeper Bayindir decided to play as erratically as United’s first choice goalkeeper and weakly punched a cross he might have caught into the path of an opponent in his own penalty area and Arsenal equalised with a deflection off the hapless de Ligt.

Then the fun really started.

Maguire put his arm out to stop his opponent who was in the process of dancing past him. Fair enough he went down like he’d been hit by a left hook - even my wife laughed at how pathetic it was. The ref rightly awarded a penalty and Maguire led a group rendition of “Handbags at Dawn”. A couple of players went down as if they’d been headbutted, but they soon got up again when they heard everyone laughing at them.

There was another dramatic turn as Arsenal were about to take the lead when Bayindir produced a miraculous save from the penalty.

Raheem Sterling looked on with some seriously impressive sideburns.

There was lots of end to end stuff after that but I missed most of it making big kid’s tea.

*Extra time will now be played.

0-0 at The Emirates at halftime in the FA Cup.

For some reason Arsenal are dressed as Leeds in the 1970s. United are dressed as United in the 1968 European Cup Final. They’re playing with a golden ball in memory of David Beckham.

United’s Harry Maguire produced the most memorable moment of the first half as he nutmegged himself while delicately backheeling an assist for Martinelli to score for Arsenal.

For some reason the goal was disallowed for offside.

Kobbie Mainoo hasn’t scored for United since he scored in United’s win in the final last year, and he hasn’t scored today either.

2-2 in the end after an exciting second half of end-to-end football. United played like a team transformed in confidence and belief. They scored first, and didn’t wilt completely after Liverpool equalised and then went ahead after a VAR penalty decision (technically correct, blah, blah, blah) over-ruled the ref’s “clear and obvious error” in waving play on. They grabbed an equaliser themselves and should have won it at the death, but Zirkzee (probably lacking in confidence after being subbed in the first half against Newcastle) chose to pass to Maguire rather than shoot. Maguire shinned it over the bar.
