    It was live on BBC Wales.

    Could have maybe found it if you have Virgin or Sky?

    That James looks like a player.

    Where was the crowd though?

    **** knows, was a poor turn out.

    Kids were a quid and I only paid a tenner.

    There were way more for Gillingham last round, probably because this was on TV.

    Sunderland had 28k on Friday night, against Accrington ****ing Stanley, and that was on TV.

    Does it being shown make much difference?

    I honestly don't know the answer.

    There were about 4000 more in the last round v Gillingham and that wasn't on TV so I would think it does, yes.

    Yeah TV can have a big impact, more so for cup rather than league probably though.

    Looking forward to next couple of weeks for first aways since first week January. Not hopeful that I've improved my chances of seeing a first win since August mind.

    You’re well capable of getting a result. They’re soft as ****.

    You probably still won’t, because you’re soft as **** too, but they have nothing to fear.

    Definitely more confident for the Emirates than OT.

    @Blueman @The Ginger Nigga @BobbyD what you reckon for tonight? You always up your game for us, so I’m thinking it’s gonna be a defeat. Can’t see it being a good night for us, cos we will play either Mata or Lukaku or both and that just means a slow and painful defeat.

    Can’t see a heavy battering but I don’t see us scoring more than one goal with Fatty and the Dwarf.

    If Hazard has a good game you could get done but he may do his usual...

    He always turns up against United. He knows there will be a lot of people watching the game.

    We can be either good or very bad atm, so it really depends on what Chelsea turns up. I’ve already written off a top four finish this year but possibly could win a pot unlike our north London **** heads who shout the loudest but have no substance. I’m going for a united win because we are so inconsistent. I’ll be watching Mama Mia as I have to review this for NSIS.

    Lukaku might be okay even though he a fat lump.

    Matas great against teams who park the bus but less so when its a war of attrition. Love the fella but he's just not atletic enough for a team going for it all.

    We have been pretty good at home so i think we will be alright. Rashford could cause us problems and pogba is great but not sure if olly will rest them.

    Sanchez always seems to raise his level against us though but i would be more concerned if martial and lingard were playing. Think we will win

    Think we'll lose personally. Just a feeling.

    Chelsea are odds on. Manyoo 4.5 on Betfair.

    Don't understand that at all tbh, I think the bookies have made a rick. Not saying Utd should be favourites, but the price is all wrong.
