Well that's the FA Cup over for another season, I know we've still got a few games to go which might be of interest to some? but that's killed it for me :(A good game spoiled as usual by the ref who managed to get most things wrong, Stoke's opener should have been a free kick to West Ham, West Ham's equaliser should have been a free kick to Stoke, the penalty should have just been a booking for Etherington's dive, the free kick awarded for Stoke's 2nd goal was unlucky but probably right although it would never be given against the likes of Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool etc, and 2 penalties not given? Huth's handball was blatant and Walters wrestling down Tomkins was the most obvious penalty you'll ever see?
Apart from that Stoke played reasonably well in their normal way, the Hammers had an off day missing Demba Ba who was left out for some reason? and Piquionne's injury after Huth's crunching tackle is a worry.
The Semi Draw:
Bolton v Stoke
Man U v Man C or Reading
The ref had a nightmare didn't he. Suprisingly,I don't think it did actually spoil the what was a great game.

No it was a good game, but the ref obviously realising his ricket with the Hammers goal seemed to be trying his best not to upset the home crowd and the knob in the baseball cap.
