    They'd then have to lose he Cup Final on purpose too.... Don't think we can be hoping for that.

    They can't escape it. If they lose against Bournemouth & Palace then they'll end up in the Europa play offs and will probably have to cancel prestige friendly tournaments in far off lands

    He's also an inspiration for how to live your life...you have to dust yourself off and move on. I'm sure I'm not alone in dwelling too much on small issues in the past.

    Perhaps they'll try to duck out of doing the tournament. They did that with the FA Cup, after all.

    Wouldn't we all love it if our fallen hero scores the winner tomorrow night and then goes on to play brilliantly for England in the Euros!!

    Softened up over Lallana...at least he had the grace not be a raving success elsewhere. :) Like him to be good for England because it reflects well on our Academy. He was wrong to leave us quickly after promising eternal love, but I now also remember what he did for us before (though I hope he also remembers what we did for him). Lovren is a bit different because we don't owe him, he owed us at least another season after bringing him to every one's attention.

    Anyway, the best revenge is success....and we are enjoying that. :)

    So, we're in EL play offs with 6th & as a bear minimum regardless of Sat. If MU win FAC we skip play offs & go straight to mini league, yes? Do Spammers have any chance of Europe?

    Dam! Not quite sure what I want now! Think I'll have to accept a play off & Palace for the FAC.

    Oh if you want Nige inspired threads... wait til I get that baton back... I have some great Nigel inspired photos from St Mary's and his time that I can use. If you are still doing them as I expect by next April, I will email you them :)

    Plus the added bonus of Van Gaal maybe getting another season and all the woes of the Utd fans that will bring. Worth it for comic value alone!

    WHU in the playoffs was quite funny at times last season so don't mind a repeat.

    I also believe if Man U win the FA Cup LVG may stay next season, they will be worse with him than without him.

    Oh I can easily support United for this. Means Pardew gets nada.

    The downside though is the Palace fans are so good and a lot of their players will never come closer to winning something. I want Utd from a Saints perspective (Head) and Palace from a football perspective (Heart). For this reason I would love a real thriller - oh dear Van Gaal will see that doesn't happen!

    It does add to the trickiness. In the end though, the thought of guaranteed Europa group stages and a stronger chance of LVG back at United for another year just swings it for me.

    Nothing to think about for me - straight into the group stage trumps everything else for me, so am hoping Utd wrap this one up early.
