Fantastic FA cup day, I really hope sense happens one day and the winner gets the last champions league spot and not just for finishing 4th. It's the greatest domestic cup comp in the world, and it's about time the rewards proved it.
Absolutely crazy results today like, three of the top four teams in the country losing at home in the fourth round, and United scraping a draw yesterday as well... Insane. We simply HAVE to play our strongest 11 and go for it in the return leg. This is undoubtedly the best chance a "smaller" team has had to win the cup in a long, long time.
Everton, Newcastle and Swansea also out. Liverpool, United, Arsenal still in it. Be nice if two of them were drawn together in 5th round! Would be wide open. Who else is in? West Ham, Stoke? Palace yes.
so the top half epl times are: Man U (replay) arsenal (tomorrow) west ham (tomorrow) liverpool (next) the highest placed team into the next round is palace, followed by west brom then leicester. we got to replay, villaand stoke play tomorrow and monday. i reckon another 2-3 epl sides could go out this round.hopefully not us
Just said ten prem teams remain. Us Arsenal Pool United West ham West Brom Palace Leicester Hull?! Villa?

Yes please the dippers gone would be the icing on a fine set of results, could fancy another trip to ot with the same outcome, the real united will come away with a shock win though sadly
Watched the citeh -boro match, whereas citeh could claim they played well enough in the first half to be ahead, in the second half Middlesboro could have been 4, or 5 ahead. This was no makeweight city team either, , to place it in more a biblical context: Championship side Middlesboro just tore the Premier League Champions a new asshole.
So man utd manager is complaining about the state of the pitch last night ,i was there and i can tell you huge efforts were made throughout the week to make sure the ground was as good as it could be in all aspects ,what did this man expect from a lowly club in the english league ,if the so called pyrimid system actually worked instead of the have and have you nots in football i could understand the complaint,in reality the ground staff s wages at old trafford is probably more than the players wages at cambridge,the replay will net cufc about 1.5 million and in real terms will ensure there future for a fair while ,if he were to see this pitch in its normal state (no insult meant) he might be a lot more humble to the lower grades of football instead of moaning about the grass roots reality of football . CUFC enjoy the replay and its rewards ,on a footnote the pitch at old trafford was a **** heap for years ,remember that !
