Wolves fans pack city-centre pubs to watch devastating defeat - GALLERY
It was a heartbreaking result which left fans in agony - but pub-goers in Wolverhampton were proud of Wolves' performance at Wembley.
The Wanderers looked all set to be in the FA Cup final after leading 2-0, but Watford came back to win 3-2 in extra time.
A huge crowd went to Wembley to cheer on Wolves but there was also strong support back at home.
Hundreds in the city centre crammed around television screens inside pubs and bars to watch the action.
Emma Dicken, from Bilston, was watching the action at The Billy Wright pub in the city centre.
She said: "We thought we had the game in the bag. It is so disappointing. But we are really proud of the team. We absolutely love Nuno."
Michelle Jones, who was also in the Billy Wright, said: "We have come this far and it is so disappointing We thought we had got it at 2-0. But oh my god, we can't believe it, 3-2. But there will be other opportunities. We have got the league now. If we can finish seventh, we have got the Europa League to think about. We have got that think about now.
"This FA Cup run has meant everything. Nuno has brought a totally different play to the game. The supporters and the players are all for Nuno and he has been excellent."
At the Hogshead, it was standing room only as supporters crammed inside to watch the action.
Before the game, Steven Powis, 47, from Codsall, said: "I guess I am nervous for the game, we have done well to get this for. Anything else is a bonus."
Excitement oozed out of the pub, with fans chanting Nuno's name as he appeared on TV screens before kick-off.
And there were jubilant scenes when Matt Doherty put Wolves in front- celebrations which continued at The George Wallis pub as Raul Jimenez scored the side's second.
However tense, nailbiting, and ultimately devastating moments followed as Watford scored one, and then two before completing their comeback in the 14th minute of extra time.
Harry Morgan, 21, from Bilston, said : "That was heartbreaking. We were 2-0 up. We wanted it big time."
But his father Keith, 58, added: "The season has been great, the FA Cup semi-final has been great, now we can concentrate on that seventh place, maybe Europe, who knows."
Geno Cartwright, 56, from Sedgley, said: "People today were saying we have been robbed. We haven't been robbed. This is our first season back in the Premier League.
"We will get seventh, we have come to the semi-final at the FA Cup. We have done brilliantly this season."
