The glorious South
In the build to what can only be described as the biggest Cup Final for hundreds of years, our dear rivals Manchester Utd have to play out three Cup games before setting foot on the sacred Wembley pitch. What happens in these games may well influence their cup final line up......so lets see how it pans out.

Thurs 20.05 Home to St Etienne
Sun 16.15 Away to Blackburn
Wed 17.00 Away to St Etienne
 
Early team news for tomorrow: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38962487

Shame Sam picked an injury up last night, could of got him to kick a few at the weekend though I imagine that team will be fairly weak.


Just hope that tomorrow night the tie isn't over either way so he has to take a fairly strong squad to France. 1-1 will do nicely.
 
He's already talking about resting some players. We really need the other ST's to turn up tomorrow. If they leave with a draw, he'll have a lot of thinking to do.
Can Zlat keep this incredible play every game record? He is the fittest 35 yo I've ever seen, credit to him.
 
So it's sticking pins into dolls time....Ibrahimovich to get an injury that keeps him out for say....10 days. Or a nice touch of food poisoning to sap their strength.....though it would be better if that card was played next week.
 
Realistically, I'm hoping for a tough game with scores level at the end of 90 minutes. That way it tires them out but also ensures they'll have to play a full strength 11 in the away fixture on the Wednesday before the cup final.
These 3 games will hopefully work in our favour.
 
Not sure why we need this thread. If any of their players get crocked we can just celebrate, I mean sympathise, on the march thread.

I think fans need as many threads as possible to keep them from exploding with excitement and expectation. It stops them from worrying about no new CB, poor league position, risk of Puel replacing Wenger, any other real or imaginary meltdown scenario. The devil makes work for idle fingers/ eyes. Oh and still no ticket!

And hopefully the second leg will go to extra time and penalties, just to sap their energy a little bit more.
