    First opportunity to win some silverware right here.

    Should be a difficult game against a good side so we'd need to play our best eleven if at all possible.

    With that in mind, Marouane Fellaini is nailed on to start.

    It's on Sunday, is kick off at four? I hope so as I might miss the start otherwise. Stan is going so he'll let us know.


    Interesting fact, the last and only time these two sides met in a Wembley final United lost to a goal I swear to this day was off side. ****ers.

    They've only won 3 out of their last ten games so form alone suggests a win for us - but then its a Wembley Cup Final and for goes out the window. They always seem to give a good game, so I expect a fast-paced match and a red card for Fellaini.

    They'd be daft not to sit back and soak up any pressure to start with. They have to frustrate and go on from there. Head says Utd 2-0 heart hopes that they soak up the pressure and grab a goal for a 1-0 win.

    We will be lucky to win this. The players will be nervous and it will be whoever hit their stride the quickest. I am hoping Martial starts and Zlatan gets his shooting boots on. Why did mikhi have to play in a meaningless game in France? I hope we don't regret these mind games from JM.

    Bloody hell, I hope your team take it as seriously as you lot - "anyone know when kick off is/anybody going to the game". Never mind, let's talk about our bowels instead.
