lots of sport for you today is we're starting with an extraordinary game of football at wembley stadium today where manchester united survived one of the greatest fa cup comebacks to reach the final. they beat the championship side, coventry city, on penalties but only after first throwing away a 3—0 lead and being let off after coventry had a goal disallowed in extra time. and united very nearly lost the shoot—out as well. but coventry missed two to their one. so they scraped through to set up an all—manchester final next month. way we did it is not ok. because we should have managed it better. but it is a used performance and if you analyse

only speculate but certainly as far as united are concerned they will need to perform far better than they did today in that final against manchester city. a repeat obviously of last year's final. city one last year's final. city one last year. united will be hoping they can turn things around this year but certainly will have to show an awful lot more composure than they did here against coventry city. in the premier league, everton�*s hopes of staying up were given a huge boost when they beat relegation rivals nottingham forest 2—0. but the result left forest fuming and the fa are investigating after the club posted an incendiary social media statement. forest posted "three extremely poor decisions "three penalties not given — which we simply cannot accept.
