Carabao Cup & FA Cup Thread

Manchester United can forget about the treble.

Standard clause IIRC - if the opposition wants to field the player, they have to get approval from CFC and the FA/EPL

It's to do with match fixing etc...

Oh ok. I new one of the rules was a team cannot field a player from the parent club if they are in the same league, but thought they had to have that clause in thier contract if they were in a lower league...

So the answer will be, that he won't play.

Thanks.

We should get past Boro een with that TWAT Rafa in charge.

Wonder who Slur Alex will picjk for the game Webb or Clatenberg?

Will be a tough game at The Theatre of Clowns

Comon you Blues

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Well, I hope Josh plays. Can't wait to see him play another full game on my TV.

He can't play against us.

What a pathetic attitude to take before a cup game. Anyone can win on the day and we've shown we can give United a damn good game already this season.

Isn't this the point of football? To see the best players go up against one another?

Excuse me? You call 'those' performances damn good games? Maybe from the neutral point but all I saw was a team bringing in a shit mentality from the start of the first game and a team that could barley finish off United's B team and youth players at the second game. BOTH AT HOME. Sorry to be pessimistic but we need to display an ambitious performance to take down United at Old Trafford, and considering I have yet to see a performance of such since Tottenham away, i don't think we can pull it off given our circumstances with the players and manager ordeal.

If our players don't make this cup their main ambition, which anything of such has been absent under Benitez, we won't win.

Our best chance is to take United out with a CL hangover or to bring a replay to the Bridge

No offence, but I completely disagree with the notion of going into a FA Cup game with the view that we're going out. United aren't that good and we're capable of playing great stuff so I really don't see the need for such pessimism.

We've shown away to Everton and at home to Arsenal (for 45 minutes) that we can beat top teams, so there's really no reason to fear a United team who have other priorities. This is what the cup is all about.

Top teams ? Everton without Gibson and Fellaini and a depleated Arsenal are top teams? United aren't that good? Fa cup not their priority? Christ...

Under Benitez, there is no ambition what so ever and it is clearly seen by our silent home and away support

Silent away support? What the fuck are you on about?

And no, United aren't that good.

Yup, our fans as of late have truly shown their passion and out sung the opposition. They never booed our players and were not silent when we had our backs against the wall. United not that good? Is that why they are 12 points clear and have the away advantage against Real Madrid? Stop chatting shit

[bushman 2,043]

If Manure are not that good, how come they are leading PL by 12 points then ?

Manure have been the most consistent PL team, this season.

United are the best of a bad bunch. You've alluded to our problems, yet we're third in the league whilst Man City have thrown away easy points in the last few months. That doesn't mean we aren't capable of beating them.

As for our fans, we've got Ruprecht on the one hand saying how awful they've been with their vociferous chanting against Rafa and on the other we've got you saying how 'silent' they've been.

Honestly I don't think either one of you has a fucking clue what you're on about, but they've been marvellous this season in the face of some very trying situations.

United have beaten both us and City at home in great fashions and may as well be on their way in doing a top 4 double home and away. They have been bar none the most consistent team in the league picking off teams that we struggle against. 12 point lead against the reigning champions and away advantage going on in the second leg against Real Madrid. Under SAF, United WILL ALWAYS BE A THREAT. Their whole atmosphere at United is a winning mentality, so to claim they are not that good is to the highest point, laughable and cringe worthy.

Our fans have shown the utmost negativity after RDM's sacking and still do while under Rafa's reign. We have been outsung on numerous occasions and when our backs were against the wall, we have been absolutely silent that the commentators always love to remark.

Marvelous this season? Getting knocked out of 3 finals and 6 competitions with the mass amount of money we spent that could end world hunger, A MARVELOUS SEASON? European Champions being downgraded to jokes of Europe in the most humiliating fashion, losing out to a south american club in the club world club, a competition that is once in a life time for players. Even with RDM"s sacking and Rafa's appointment, this club has shown not one bit of character nor responsibility throughout this campaign. We are where we are due to sheer individual brilliance and that alone. Look in the mirror when you make such an ironic statement of having no fucking clue what you're on about. Our 'marvelous' fans have been a sheer whisper of what they were pre Roman, when we were actually in a much worse position than we are now.
