The second half was so different! Wolverhampton knocked out Manchester United 2-1. Nuno is having a dream run in English football.
The Swansea City vs Manchester City game shows that VAR should be employed in all quarterfinal matches.

VAR is either used in the competition or it is not. It can not be used in certain games whilst not in others. City had VAR in their 2 previous cup matches, but not in this one.
Obviously this is not Citys fault, but the FA should have consistency.

They should take VAR and dispose of it. Goal line technology is great, because it's black and white, but VAR is still down to opinion.

the Brighton game was mental
justice in the end, because MIllwall's first goal was only scored after yet another rugby tackle took the defender out of play
horror equaliser from a MIllwall perspective, because until the keeper stuffed up, the ball was probably going out

Exactly - Man City's supposedly off-side goal against Swansea looked good in real-time. If VAR is used to overturn marginal decisions, then referees can not officiate in confidence.
Also using VAR in selective matches affects the competitions integrity, surely there will have been controversial decisions in the Extra Preliminary and Qualifying Rounds of the FA Cup

Should be a decent game, but IMO City will win

Deulofeu's goal in this one was quite something. Watford deserved to win for that alone.

Manchester City crushed Watford to create history by winning all three domestic titles up for grabs.
Sterling capped off an excellent season with a brace.

That was an awesome performance from City. Sterling could have had three but unselfishly chose to pass to Stones, who was unlucky, though good save.
