I'm going 4-1 to Chelsea. I feel we will play a relatively strong side compared to United and we all want revenge for what happened on Sunday. I can see us progressing here thought it will be another cracking game and a great atmosphere for sure
I'd love to share your optimism but I actually think Sunday will have a real negative effect on our performance plus the decisions we've had go against us v United in the past couple of seasons just leaves me feeling cautious. United will put out a better side than you think. It'll be close but I'm going for a 2-1 to United with at least a penalty and/or sending off going against us. Hernandez will probably get the winner, in off his arse of something..jammy little curnt!!
I think we should win this--but selections will be important . I've a feeling neither side will be eyeballs out for the plastic cup!
It would be amazing if out of nowhere the ref buried one past us and took of his top to reveal a 'that's for you fergie' T shirt underneath!!
I expect you lot to win, SAF, does not take this cup seriously. We can all but hope its a clean game.
Chelsea to win. If they cannot win a game that they desperately want to win and Ferguson couldn't give a damn about (and in which he will play his reserves) then they are definitely on the slide...
On what basis are Chelsea desperate to win?? I want us to win like I'd want us to win the coin toss to decide who kicks off. Desperate...hardly. Remember we won 2 trophies last year to United's none. Perhaps Fergie should take it more seriously.
What about the last 100 years, how many trophy's have you won, all teams have years without silverware, just ask French Arse.
That will be about 6-7 players then. We both know he plays his kids in the early rounds, whoever the other team is.
I think Chelsea are desperate to win because they want to arrest a losing streak. Surely a run of 3 defeats in a row is not good for morale even if this is the derided COC. I would be surprised if Ferguson did not mostly play his reserves...
No chance, both sides will play a mixture of youth, first teamers and fringe players. The chance to beat us at home twice in 4 days, fergie wont throw that away. However the most important player on United's team sheet, will of course be the ref.
Several beers for me + peanuts and several glasses of wine + crisps for the good lady. Plus Chelsea Blue Bear (our care worn and much abused mascot who sits on the sofa with us every game) will get a good cuddle (from the good lady) if we win and a serous kicking (from me) if we don't. That's my prediction at the Bloo residence.
