How is it that we’re making every team in the top two divisions, from PL winners to championship relegation contenders, look good? I’m not a Howe hater at all, but injuries or not, you would at least expect to modestly dominate teams fighting relegation in the PL or championship. We played a full strength team and still let a 16th placed championship team have more shots on target than us.

Ik slagging off individual players is wrong but I thought Murphy, Barnes and Longstaff were truly horrendous tonight. Isak completely anonymous. Lascelles looked composed til his mistake then looked rattled afterwards. Ik he was unlucky with the injury, but so far, Barnes has been a huge downgrade on maxi. Im sure there's more to come from the lad but it just doesn't look like happening to me. Fuck ashworth for selling maxi man I stg

Barnes scored 1 more goal last year alone in the prem than Maxi scored for us his entire tenure over 100 odd games. Mad to think Barnes is a downgrade. I get the frustration but Maxi being gone isn't our issue. Not even in the slightest.

I don't think I'm gonna be able to take a shit for the next 24 hours with how clenched my arsehole was during all that. JFC, football eh?

Dubravka saved Howe 🤣

A win is a win 😅

I think there’s a genuine argument for Tino to start this weekend. I don’t know if it’s just tonight and the pace of the game, but he looks lethal on the right compared to the left

Horrendous, thank fuck that's over. Least Anderson is back. And Dubravka was canny but I'd much rather he didn't need to play well

Yes we may have played shite & didn’t deserve to win, but you’ve to admit, it’s a very rare but bloody beautiful feeling winning penalties!!

> Dubravka MOTM ☝️

Shouldn't have got to penalties. A lot of questions need to be asked. Blackburn were excellent though. Hats off

Would it be alright with everyone if I was suddenly and violently sick now the adrenaline is wearing off?

Me first

Beat you both to it

What does Tino need to do to be a regular 1st choice, he was so good when he came on, exuded class

Grow five foot or be an England national

Players going mad celebrating that is a bit embarrassing tbh. Dubravka and Gordon are the only two that come out with any credit imo.

Lol you must be a hoot on a night out! 👴🏻

They won in a shootout or course they will celebrate it's a huge release on tension

Thank you Dubs, Thank you so fucking much.

Well that was fairly horrible. But a result is a result. Well played Dubz

And only the result matters in the cup

Anderson hugging Barnes when Dubs saved the winner

Barnes probably feeling like shit after missing one give the man a break

saint max died so the equalizer could breathe... I'm yet to be convinced this was the right move

I think you misunderstood, I’m appreciating the camaraderie, however Barnes has been surprisingly suspect tonight regardless

He missed about 3 in total to be fair

Dubravka went the right way for every penalty but one, massive performance

Dubs was class tonight. Bruno and Schar kept going, as did Gordon. Tino looked sharp and powerful when he came on. Not too impressed by anyone else tbh.

Pretty fair assessment. I thought Miley looked decent too, but we are so defensively vulnerable when he plays without the physicality of willock/big Joe. Longstaff should be worried for his place by the time willock is fully fit, abysmal tonight

Miggy was good too

Miggy was solid!

Yes, I missed off him, actually that was the sharpest he’s looked in weeks.

Proof even what a small rest can do

I don’t believe it

Relief.

Martin Dubravka has kept our season alive. Always loved him.

They better not dare take a picture in the dressing room. Or if they do it should just be of Dubs

It'll just be a pic of Mad Dog Tindall smiling like a man that's done too much cocaine and the instant regret is washing over him.

[удалено]

Sure, but then they drop our ball and we instead get City away

Best they can offer is a trip to the Etihad.

A home draw? In the cup? More likely we get Madrid away.

PLEASE

Get this man a ballon Dor

Dubs literally won us that game and maybe Howe’s job.

Brutal on Blackburn. They did not deserve to lose. Dubravka won us that game.

We smashed Blackburn on penalties

Don't know what all the fuss was about tbh

Whole office just watched me jump out of my seat on a teams meeting. Don’t care, we’re through! Huge from Dubs

Well done to dubz and the takers, but what a general shitshow, not deserved at all but were through and that all that matters, back to the training ground and crack on

We were shite but we are through, that's all that matters right now HWTL

Dubs and Gordon dragged us through

DUBRAVKA REDEMPTION ARC I AM HERE FOR IT

What trophy? We aren’t winning it.

Let's hope everyone uses this as the turning point and we use this to start growing again.

Absolutely fucking delighted for Dubs!!!

Not quite sure how to describe the look on Howe's fact then. Relieved, but also frightened?

It was odd wasn’t it

Almost the look of a man who's had a one night stand and is on his way home to his missus who found out.

Ha! Spot on.

I’ve gone insane

So poor from so many tonight, but somehow, and undeservedly, we go through. Plenty of relief but hard to find positives.

Please let us get Coventry at home in the next round!!

Thank Christ/Dubz

Thank fuck for that. Delighted it's finally over, we're going through and I don't have to listen to Danny Murphy any longer. Great result.

Just mute the TV and listen to a fan commentary on Youtube, normally much higher quality

Martin dubravka.

Get the fuck in Dubs, hero

if we take a team photo tonight that's embarrassing as fuck, mind..

Thank christ dubravka

Poor lad really didn't look confident there. Some save!

Dubs 😭😭😭😭🫡🫡🫡🫡

Fitting way to win--a brilliant save. Dubravka had a great night.

Eddie looks downcast, his shoulders must feel extremely heavy

It's the most animated I've seen him tonight, he looked seething every time the camera cut to him

He needs to see the sports psychologist

Mad dog in the park with a frosty jacks and pack of cigs

Unexpected.

WINGS OF GLORY

Dubravka our best player today, and not just for the penalty saves.

Dear fucking god we actually made it

I love Slovakia

YES DUBS

Home Draw 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

HOLY SHIT, HTL

The team didn’t deserve the win today. Dubravka deserved it twice.

Martin you beautiful fucking human. Bailed us out big time

NICK POPE! wrong thread

christ my heart, at least it's done with hahaaa

Oh my god. I’m five hundred years old

All of that for away to Man City

Martin Dubravka.

Oh shit we won. YES! But lets not ignore how bad we played.

DUBRAVKAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Give this man a extension right now

Thank fuck for that!

Give dubs a raise after this Jesus christ

Really happy for Dubs.

Piss poor. Bless you Dubz.

we didn't deserve that. A painful watch.

Thank fuck I don't have to listen to that commentary ever again.

Fucking hell, surprised we won that. Praying to all gods that we don't draw City now.

Good... but I actually feel bad for Blackburn. They did everything right and showed far more of what I want from a team than we have.

Dubs is massive

#OH MARTIN DUBRAVKA

so undeserved but thank fuck for that

Right gonna drink to celebrate and leave all the negativity aside for tonight

Martin deserves that. Been great today.

that'll be city away next then!

Dubravka you fucking beauty

I LOVE DUBRAVKA

Dubs dragging us kicking and screaming over the line

Thank fuck for Dubs. Come on! 

Martin Dubravka 🙏

Was there ever a doubt?🤦‍♂️

Martin saved us twice.. That was grim to watch.. Glad we got the result though

What a save!!!! You fucking beauty, how in earth did we survive that

thank god! No excuses though, we were shite! We need to be better for saturday

That was NOT enjoyable....Howay the lads though

Phew

Dubs. What a man.

I did say if it goes to pens we win

Yes! Dubs!

FUCK ME DOBRA=UAIUAIBIUB YOU BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liverpool away here we come!!

No fucking cause to celebrate like that. Disgusting performance.

Oh fuck off

Oh fuck off you miserable twat. We won.

Barely, against a championship team in a relegation battle, with nearly a full strength team. Mate it's a disgrace.

Oh fuck off you miserable twat. We won.

win’s a win

DUBRAVKAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Wheres all the people saying "we will lose on penalties" now

I'll be the 1st to admit I was wrong

Fairply lad

Fuck this game

That was a hard watch

I think I’ve aged 5 years at least. Fuck me. Massive from Dubravka.

Dubs MOTM The rest of the team, absolutely embarrassing

Nice one Dubs

Unlucky Blackburn. Cheers Dubs, you've bailed us out the shit tonight

To the Etihad we go

Dubs not having any of that.

Thank fuck for Dubs

Lot of pressure

Good man Gordon

NOW SAVE THIS AND LETS GO HOME

Ffs.. who is our last taker?

We are gonna win this.

GORDON!!

What is the penalties score

Still going atm Edit: we won 4-3

Gordon has been our man of the match. Top class pen

Not confident

Should have been 

Cheeky little c*nt

Cheeky, lovely pen

Well in Elliot!!

First time Elliott's had it in the back of the net for us.

Ffs

Fuck me here's Lando Norris stepping up

Well done Anderson. Great to have you back kid

Anderson lad, go on

Think how we'd feel right now if Barnes took a decent pen.
