The_Kew_Tour

Could see this going to replay.

Could be great game.

MrJoeSoap

West Ham: Jaaskelainen, Demel, Collins, Tomkins, Potts, Vaz Te, Collison, Diarra, Joe Cole, Nolan, Carlton Cole,

double GG

As above.


Should be a good game,an early goal will be vital. Interesting to see Rafael playing in midfield. Hernandez will score from a Kagawa assist.

On ITV for anyone who doesn't know.

buttner left wing? or 5 at the back?

Hidalgo

Ist game back for Kagawa, if he hits into a groove he could be a major benefit in time for Utd and Joe Cole is home
1-1 final score

He started against West Brom and was subbed in against Wigan.

He will be vital today.

3-5-2 possibly? With Rafael and Buttner as wing backs?

I'd prefer that!

AATTAACCKKK!!

The_Kew_Tour

Subs; Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Valencia, Giggs, Young, Van Persie, Macheda

Rafa in Mid with Smalling at RB.

Would love it to be:

---

De Gea

---

Smalling-Vidic-Evans
Rafael

---

Buttner

---

Scholes-Cleverley

---

Kagawa

---

Welbeck-Hernandez

But it's probably:

---

De Gea
Smalling-Vidic-Evans-Buttner
Rafael-Cleverley-Scholes-Kagawa

---

Welbeck-Hernandez

Chancer3001

come on macheda!!

LETS BE AVN IT

West Ham win here and going all the way to lift the cup. This could be an FA cup classic.

Paul Tergat

I really dont like 3 at the back, prefer a 4-4-2 over that everytime

think we will miss carrick and will need the help of the bench to get through

RayCon

stroll in the park for Utd

Chancer3001

im going to say 3-0 united.

giggs off the bench to score one.

Copper_pipe

3-1 to united

Chico hat trick

double GG

Lads be wary, we are the only game on now so if we aren't playing well we will have a few of the others coming in to tell us.

Brilliantly appropriate username.

Does the gate money get shared for FA Cup games?

£7.5k prize money from the FA for the winners today.

Nalz

I reckon it will be 4-4-2 or 4-1-3-1-1. I hope it is! If I was a neutral it would be interesting to see Utd play 3-5-2, whens the last time we started with that formation?

Meh, I'm gonna make some tea and watch the game and hope the team plays well without any injuries. Keyboard warriors can't touch me!!!

My random word today is meringue, use it wisely

Sure they would be in even if their own team was playing the same time :pac:

I hope Trilla's word of the day becomes a regular feature and we can then make a story out of them. Forklift and meringue so far...

Johner

A small bet on West Ham at 7/2.

I hope so, we're desperately in need of the money after Spurs ripped us off for Fryers.

A bit short I think. 4 goals or more would be a good bet imo.

Timmyctc

United would need to be wary of Cole today anyways

He spent the last 2 years stressed the people would find out he was impersonating a professional footballer.

Andy Townsend.

Think I'll turn the volume down.

Remember John O'Shea's "shot" against West Ham a couple of seasons back? That was funny...

newballsplease

Great player and all he was but why do UTD fans sing the viva Ronaldo chant still?

Surely he will be doing his best to knock UTD out of the champions league soon

Mars Bar

Raf did really well there

Yep, it nearly went behind him.

Anyway, seems like we're showboating after 5 minutes at 0-0. Maybe not the best idea.

FYP.



Seriously though United fans sing about Ronaldo because he was an absolutely phenomenal player who won everything with us, is now one of the elite 2 players in the world and manages to compliment or mention Manchester United and 'family' in the same sentence almost every interview he does. Love him. Viva.

Paul Tergat

Looks like raf is alsmost playing as part of a midfield 3, strange

double GG

Closeeeeee

James Forde

Rafael playing very centrally

Mars Bar

Some ball from Scholesy!

We haven't figured out how to play with Kagawa correctly yet

Mars Bar

christ...

double GG

WOW how did that stay out???

Vidic.... FANTASTIC!!

LostBoy101

Well done Vidic, excellent clearance off the line.

J. Marston

What a clearance by Vidic.
