Coventry City boss Mark Robins says Manchester United are favourites in their FA Cup semi-final but he wants his side to "play a part in the game in as positive way as we possibly can".
The Sky Blues go into the game with their challenge for a play-off spot in the Championship having faltered with three points from the last 12.

"First and foremost, we've got to be right. We've lost three of our last four, it's not brilliant form that's for sure at this stage of the season," said Robins.
"People have been talking about, has there been one eye on this game? I doubt it, although you could be forgiven for thinking about the game before it's played."
Coventry won the FA Cup for the only time in their history in 1987 when they beat Tottenham in the final, while Manchester United have won the competition 12 times.
"We know they are clearly favourites to win this game by a million miles, they are expected to win, it's as simple as that," added Robins. who began his career with Manchester United and scored an FA Cup third-round winner for them at Nottingham Forest in 1990 which is believed to have saved Sir Alex Ferguson's job as United manager.
"We know what we are likely to encounter but we've got to play a part in the game in as positive way as we possibly can do."

As much as I'd like to see Coventry beat Manure today, I'd love to see us annihilate them in the final like last year.

Which begs the question?

Why Wembley?

It's not fair on the City fans, the expense and travel etc

It's OK for the Utd fans, they just hop on the tube back to South London..

Well it looks like the Cheats vs Moaners final is on.

**Joe 90** · 21-04-2024, 10:12 PM

Yeah, no ones getting past Dalot and Slab head today, decent defence!!!

**cyrille** · 21-04-2024, 10:32 PM

Maguire is in his element here.

**Joe 90** · 21-04-2024, 10:52 PM

I reckon Manure Utd would be at home in the Championship..

**Edmond** · 21-04-2024, 11:34 PM

Injuries.

Pile o' shite.

Wonder how fitness will affect the Coventry lads up to 120 minutes.

Probably not as much as the shiteness will affect the Man United lads.

**cyrille** · 21-04-2024, 11:41 PM

There will be so much important information to be passed on to the players in the oh so short break between the two halves of extra time

Threats to be aware of...opportunities to exploit.

Thank the lord for...OLE DUTCHIE STEVE McCLAREN

**Joe 90** · 21-04-2024, 11:46 PM

Offside.

Good Lord

**harrybarracuda** · 22-04-2024, 12:13 AM

I think the Cheats have had a word with Stockley Park.

They want to embarrass the Moaners in the final.

Sorry, I should say they want to embarrass the CHOKERS in the final.

**cyrille** · 22-04-2024, 12:20 AM

Disastrous.

**harrybarracuda** · 22-04-2024, 12:25 AM

So it's the CHEATS against the CHOKERS.

Poor old Hal.

He'll be shitting himself.

**Joe 90** · 22-04-2024, 12:30 AM

If they play like that in the final

**Edmond** · 22-04-2024, 12:32 AM

Coventry can certainly go home feeling prouder than Erik The Shitting and his longboat of shite.
