    ... all Sky blue Cup final? ...;)

    United should have enough ... but Cov do carry a potent attacking threat and have great movement and bundles of energy in midfield - could be an uncomfortable afternoon for our friends from the red half of the Home Counties ... <whistle>

    I fancy Cov to give them some problems early on with their attack but they’ll run out of steam due to the gruelling fixture list and cup replays compared to United’s many weeks off.

    Pep and Arteta are proper whining bellends

    I have no idea why the league takes it seriously. If they don't like the league, quit lol

    Not a lot different to Fergie and Wenger in their time ... keeps those running the game on their toes in regard to the relative treatment, be it fixtures or otherwise administrative, in regard to their teams ...

    Our toughest game of the season by far. I expect us to play a characteristic low low block. So low most of our players will be behind the goal line.

    The counter attack will be tremendous though, as Lindeloff pumps it forward from the second tier of the stands against the mighty sky blues. Offfftttt the transitions!!

    If that was Atalanta and it had been 2 yards away, defo pen. All the TV pundits probably calling for a sending off too.

    Harris has done a great job. Really thought he was a desperate roll of the dice and it would end in tears.

    The first game I went to was a Millwall game.... I've always kinda kept an eye on them ever since. I know people don't like them but I don't like any fanbase collectively including Newcastles.

    Yeah as much as some of their support is ridiculous it’s good to have a club who are a bit different doing well and it’s a great away day around London Bridge. Rotherham, Huddersfield and Sheff Wed going down would be lovely.

    I'm sure there's some decent folk support Millwall. I've seen our club recently sent out a plea for our supporters to stop phlegming at staff...fanbases are always packed with a good percentage of utter pond life unfortunately.

    First Millwall game I went to as a lad, the Wall turned up into the away end, then once they had all arrived, decided to invade the pitch and do something called 'take the home end' - the police had their work cut out that afternoon. I was a Town End supporter in them days, which effectively was the away end, so it was all very amusing to watch. Even funnier, if they had known the ground back then, you could have just walked round from one end to the other, without invading the pitch, all in the days before segregation and fencing.

    Eze is unstoppable. Coufal will probably top himself now to save his family the shame.

    yeah, he's quality, Moyes was desperate to sign him but we ended up with Benrahma.
