The childish argument in the past couple pf pages aside, I honestly think utd have been far from impressive this season. More often than not they have been out-played in matches even against the likes of Reading and Southampton; in fact their best performance this season was probably against you lot. And while I admire their ability to get goals in any circumstance, I would not say they have been great this season nor the best team in England for that matter.

Atm, the most likely option looks like Pellegrini which seems to me a surprisingly reasonable decision by the club.

There has been so many articles in British newspapers about Frank's contract that they have all lost credibility.

Not in the near future. Atm he is no where near being good enough for the starting XI of Real or Barca.

35m?! Yeah, sure..

He can't play against us.

Just don't concede. A clean sheet is vital to not complicate things and go through with the least possible effort. Mikel is a must start for this one. I expect something like: Cech Azpi-Luiz-JT-Bertrand Rami-Mikel Hazard-Oscar-Marin Torres

He loves the FA cup doesn't he? Like mentioned above, he was rather poor but still managed to come up with two moments of brilliance. Amazing composure to pick up lamps on the third goal.

Now I really want us to bear Boro. I bet the lads are up for this one after we were robbed at the bridge. Knocking the c**ts out of the FA cup would be perfect revenge.

JT post match: "The story in the paper today is lazy journalism. Rubbish."

With the goal today, Frank becomes our all-time top scorer in the FA cup with 26 goals.

Good to see Ba start, but was hoping that Lampard gets a rest.

For some reason, I have a feeling this will be one of those matches. That is often the case when we underestimate the opponent.

Well Rafa does have a point there..

Alex is the admin of the league. He'll accept you'll application the next time he log in.

Well you should. Because that video shows the amazing goal (that's undeniable) but what it does not show is that Totti shouldn't have even been on the pitch to score that.

Do you have a video of that disgraceful kick to Pirlo's knee?

Sorry mate, wasn't on here Hope you found a stream. Totti is a cunt; one with amazing ability, but still a cunt.

He certainly has the dribbling skills for the wing and to some extent the pace but the issue seems to be that his instinct is to always cut inside. I'm more a fan of old-fashioned wingers who stay wide and put in crosses.

Not necessarily a bad thing. Will help you build and develop a team that can challenge in the top leagues.

Good first half, excellent second. Blue-tinted glasses maybe, but he the MOTM for me, definitely one of the best performers today, especially in the opening 25 mins of the second half. Great assist and probably should have got a goal from one of his two chances. Showed some signs of tiredness after the 75th minute. Was a good call to sub him off. His movement was excellent especially when he drifted centrally. His dribbling proved too much for the Bilbao defenders. And his relation with Isco caused all sorts of trouble for Athletic. I was also pleasantly surprised by his defensive work rate and tracking back. Over all, very much exceeding my expectations. Well done, Mr. Piazon.

Piazon off on the 80th minute. Excellent game by Lucas.

If you two don't mind, we are trying to discuss Lucas' performance here. Please use PMs if you wish to continue this pointless argument.

Brilliant run though. This is exactly what I meant when I said I love his movement when he is central.

I actually like his movement when he plays centrally very much. I think his best position would be as second striker. What do you think?
