The FA feel the pathological need to sustain the credibility and name recognition of ManUtd. Why? Because they are worth the most out of all the clubs? Which club has the most supporters? ManUtd. Which club will attract the most sponsors and TV deals? ManUtd. The FA has the League in my mind, not any team and it just so happens the easiest and most effective way is to sway everything in the favour of their unstoppable juggarnaut, ManUtd. The Red Manchurians have the most exposure and the better they play, the better England and the FA looks.

This is a business not an idealistic concept of fair play and sportsmanship. Want sportsmanship? Watch the local game down at the park, that is as pure football will ever get.

It sounds like you're suggesting The FA is handicapping us by placing the fixture as they have done, in order to help United. If I've got the wrong end of the stick I apologise.

That's exactly what I'm suggesting. They aren't doing it because they are ManUtd, they are doing it because ManUtd is the 'main' team of the Premier League. That's how I see it anyway.

IF we beat Man United, the semifinal with City would be played on April 14th, meaning our game with Spuds would need to be re-scheduled!

So, if we beat Man United, we will travel to Russia and then play Man City at Wembley.

Nothing has been confirmed yet. Was just the typical BS rumour going around Twitter, Facebook etc.

The replay is still 2 weeks away and who the ref would be is likely only to be announced 1 week before the match.
