They reached the final last season, but just got pipped on pens by Liverpool, and beat Arsenal over 2 legs in semis.
In case you didn't know, the attendance for the first leg of semis at Emirates between AFC and MU was a record for a youth cup game - 38,000 Cool

Now - back OT, before we get told off Very Happy

No games anywhere near here then Sad

It was sooo difficult to even find results yesterday - I was trying for ages to get them, and kept editing the results.

Just to explain how difficult I found it - here is what I said to a member today on an email (I told her I'd probably post it on here):

It was bad enough trying to find all yesterday's cup results to put on the forum - BBC.co.uk only had 3, and I knew about Arsenal from texts.

Then found those plus one more on BBC ceefax.

Then spotted results running along the bottom on SSNews - that made 7.

I discovered that the missing game was Cardiff v Donnie - I tried Cardiff's website, but it wasn't up to date, but fortunately, Donnie Belles' was, so got the lot.

What a palaver though Sad


There must be a better way of getting results.

Imagine if Man Utd v Arsenal's 5th round FA Cup game (men's, I mean) is missing from results list Laughing

Today's game was closely fought, with few clear-cut chances, but both goalkeepers had good performaces and kept a clean sheet for 120 minutes.

The best chance came after about 4 minutes, when Jody Handley was brought down in the area and Fara Williams' penalty kick was saved.

It seemed for a long time that a penalty shoot-out was going to decide the outcome, and this proved to be the case.
Each of the penalties went into the net, apart from Fara's, which went over the bar - you had to feel so sorry for her.

I'd like to say I have some decent pics to show you, but, as usual, they are rubbish - but, while we wait for Ron to post some decent ones tomorrow - here is one showing part of the celebrations after Sue Smith scored the 5th pen for Leeds:

I'd have felt more sorry for Everton if it wasn't for many of the "fans", who were a total pain in the arse.

I plonked myself in the front row of seats in the stand, but there were people walking backwards and forwards throughout the game. Many of these seemed to be families of the young girls (9 to 11 year olds at a guess) who were playing a little game at half time (7 a side or something).
Many of these left before the end of 90 minutes, let alone 120, so they obviously weren't that bothered about the main game.
I know they want to encourage people to come to these games, but I'd prefer it if the people who come actually would prefer to watch the football, rather than spend their time going to buy pies and coffee etc.

I like Everton, and wanted them to win before the game - but changed to supporting Leeds before the end Laughing

And it was nice to see the always cheerful Sue Smith being happy with good reason Very Happy
