Need to get past Boro first. Not playing too bad under Mowbray but on a pitch that is very poor I can't see this being a total walk in the park.

Incidentally my little and his football team are doing the guard of honour for the players on the night :getin:

some of you with obsessions over man united are embarrassing.

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.

Can't see us beating Manure. We don't deserve to either. They are the form side in Europe at the moment and i can see our FA Cup campaign ending there.

What the fuck has 'deserve' got to do with it??? It comes down to who's better on the day and we've got every chance of beating them.

I actually think the opposite. I get your point, but I think Manure has been impressive exactly because they have a shit defence and an ok midfield and still manage to win games. Their ability to score goals in difficult situations is really impressive. Not even Barcelona has shown that (but mainly because they are hardly in a difficult situation, lol). They arent a very good team overall or on paper, but the fact RVP, Rooney and Chicharito score all the fucking time makes them pretty lethal.

Chelsea, Spurs and ManCity are capable of playing better football than Utd, but it doesnt fucking matter if we all dont win it. The big problem is that none of those three teams are consistent. I honestly dont see us having a 15 game streak of 12 wins and 4 draws. They are the best team in England, but just beacause they are better than everyone else, it doesnt mean they are spetacular. Manure are indeed extremely overhyped. The fact they have the most points in EPL history doesnt show how good they are, but how bad EPL has been this season. Chelsea at its best days would be 6+ points ahead of them. we had the same ability to score when desperatly needed, but we alse had a far superior defence and midfield.

Nevertheless, Utd are pretty beatable. If we play like we did agaisnt Spurs and Arsenal, there is a decent chance we can advance. It is not game over by any means. I find stupid the pessimism and rival admiration some members show!

I agree with everything in there but my point was about their matches and the fact that they were second best in many of their matches including the one against us and even against teams like Reading and Southampton. The league table shows undoubtedly that they are the best team in England in terms of result, but in terms of ability and performance they certainly are not.

I get now and definetly agree!

Lets put it that way; they have the best strikeforce in Europe (atm), but the rest of their players wouldnt make it in the very top teams...

Going back to FA Cup, we can beat them in our day. That is all that matters!
