The F.A Cup Thread

[Joss]

Eh? Do you even know whom we have played in 4 years or just going by famous RAWK conspiracy theory?

Southampton and Crawley this year, Leeds last.

The year before? Southampton, Tottenham, Derby and finally Fulham.

So that's 4 premier league teams (inc. Arsenal this year, assuming we get through), 3 LL, and one non-league side in three years.

Draw never favours Utd at all, of course.

 

[Cloud~]

if orient dont beat arsenal then United will final end this nonsense that wenger has been talking about winning the quadruple

So Wenger should say "Its impossible for us to win the quadruple, despite us being in all four competitions"? Annoying football fans..

Anyway I welcome this (Hopefully) Man Utd fixture.

And of course that wasnt that spell when we played one non EPL team in 7 years of the Cup Competition, and kept going to Villa Park.. The draw favours no-one. Especially not Manchester United.. FFS Normally th Champs league draw ****** us over as well..

No He shouldnt even mention it... Your not even favourites in any competition you are in, Apart from the cup you discreditted when Utd won it twice on the trot.

Lol - I'm just saying that over the past three years, it's been pretty much even. Some ridiculous statement after you scrape through against a non-league side that your team always gets PL sides when this year, and in the last couple - it's simply not true. The draw favours no one..

Why shouldn't he mention it? He hasn't said we will 100% categorically win all four tournaments but if a journalist asks him if he thinks we can, of course he will say yes, because we can, whether we're favourites or not. Write us off at your peril is what I say - Everyone did it vs Barca, and we won. Utd are hardly in scintillating form, while we've hardly dropped points in 2011.

 

[Caldz123]

Im optimistic about our tie away at stoke, I think we can beat them buts its gonna have to be a good performance form the players.

 

[GUNNER500]

yeah id go for west ham to get through, along with arsenal birmingham everton.

Well, I am saying over the past 10, Manchester United draw more ELP teams then Non League teams. and that is a fact.

Cause it is the middle of ******* Feburary..There is more chance of us doing the treble then you winning 2 trophies. We are actually through in the FA cup, top of the league and We havent got to go to the Nou Camp... Yet you wont catch us putting pressure on ourselves by even discussing it. No-one has wrote you off, I predicted you to beat Barcelona, but you are only half way there. And now you have the hardest game in worl football coming up.

Utd have lost one game all season and top by 4 points, and you right Unitd arent in good form af havent played well all year, yet without peaking we are top.. I feel sorry for you when we do peak.

 

[Calum]

Can i just say IF we beat Orient i am glad we drawed United as it means the two strongest teams fight it out for the semi's and one will go on and probably win the cup

 

[GUNNER500]

you sound very scared scott! don`t forget you got the home draw theres still a chance you might get though.XDXDXD

I'm happy so the players might actually show some interest and motivation in the match. Plus we got the home tie

 

[Scott]

Scared of what...? A team that hasnt beaten us at OT in nearly 4 years, and a team that havent beat another top team away from home for like forever.. Terrified here. XD

 

[GUNNER500]

so why all the tears and ******* about getting a bad draw?

 

[Calum]

so why all the tears and ******* about getting a bad draw?

what?

 

[Ronan]

Looking forward to the Arsenal game, id take anyone at home in the facup. The only team that have taken points off us at home this season have been WBA and that was because Van Der Sar made a few rare mistakes.

 

[Scott]

so why all the tears and ******* about getting a bad draw?

There has been no tears or ********, Have you seen me saying, **** we have Arsenal or **** sake.. NOPE. I am relatively happy with the draw.

 

[Cloud~]

I'm happy aswell, you're right Scott, its been way too long since we last put you northerners in your place. Hopefully we beat Orient and get the chance.

Also, Wenger didn't call a press conference and say, "Hey everyone look, we can win the quadruple!" obviously the media put him in the position to talk about it, so your point is moot.

 

[Scott]

I'm happy aswell, you're right Scott, its been way to long since we last put you northerners in your place. Hopefully we beat Orient and get the chance.

We shall see. Hopefully Wenger has a moment and comes up to us with a similar side to he last did in an FA cup game. When we beat you 4-0.

Utd have lost one game all season and top by 4 points, and you right Unitd arent in good form af havent played well all year, yet without peaking we are top.. I feel sorry for you when we do peak.

When will this peak come, though? You and other Utd fans said that your team is always great during this period.. And yet - you almost lost to Blackpool, did lose to Wolves, scraped past Crawley and only beat City because of a wonder-strike..

That's all pretty irrelevant, though. We're meant to be discussing today's action!

I don't think Wenger is putting pressure on his players - He's answering a question honestly - He believes we can win the quadruple, because we can - we're the underdogs, sure in at least two competitions, but of course we CAN - He's just putting his belief in the players. I see your point, but still..

Your point about the FA Cup draws is so moot - I couldn't care less if you drew Crawley or Chelsea - there's no bias or favouring in it - I answered a pretty ridiculous statement with a tongue in cheek comment, I didn't expect it to be taken this seriously. To be honest, the tie is probably worse for Arsenal than it is Utd, and this year is all that matters..

You're 4 points clear, with Chelsea (twice) to play, Liverpool at Anfield, and Arsenal at the Emirates. It's not over yet =)

I hae neer said a certain Period, but i am sure it will come.. We hve got this far playing this bad.. We will get better and that is when you guys will see the real Manchester United.

We have chelsea to play, but the way they are playing i would rather play them then Blackpool. I am fairly happy with our run in, Cause this is as they a
say Squeky *** time, and Fergie is the master of this time.. Experience counts for a lot in this situation. We have it, DO you..?
