Re: League and FA cups.

United draw with Wolves 0-0 so that means an FA Cup final 3rd round replay at OT.

Just the absolute worst case scenario. I’d rather Wolves had lost than drawn at this point of the season.

You want a trophy this season? Then, like us, you can hope for the FA cup so bring it on.

I’d rather less workload on a thin squad to be honest. The chances of winning the FA Cup are minimal. We still have Europa and looking at rumours today we’re about to lose our best player, so forgive me if I don’t feel too excited about a pointless return game at Old Trafford for a squad that’s already played too much football. (Of course I’ll do a complete turnaround if we make the FA Cup final but after last year’s semi, forgive me if I don’t count my chickens). On the upside I dont have to watch David Luiz on a weekly basis.

Re: League and FA cups.

An FA cup win is 3 (I think it's 3) more wins away.


I will be ropable if we place Europa ahead of domestic competitions. I despise the fact that a successful season for the last few years of Arsene's reign simply meant that we finished in the top 4 and qualified for Europe-it was a shitful way to run a football club and only ended up actively trashing his wonderful (until then) reputation and ruined what should have been a brilliant legacy with the non parallels and the move to a new stadium.

I'd have preferred to stay at Highbury and still be the best club in England.

I’m not prioritising the Europa. I just know we have at minimum 2 more games in it. We’ve already played double the amount of football of most of the teams below us. And I’d like the squad to have some opportunity to rest. It’s unlikely we’d get into the relegation muck, but we just lost to Watford at the back end of the ridiculous Christmas scheduling (after beating Man City and running Liverpool close with a weaker lineup) so I’m not taking anything for granted. I’d love to win the FA Cup, but at the moment we now have an unnecessary game added to a packed schedule. I’m more concerned about solidifying our spot in the Prem than anything else at this point.
Look at the League One table, there’s a few familiar names there from Premier League season’s past. I don’t want that to be us in 5 years.

Given Arsenal is having such a shit season my interest goes to the clubs I follow in the lower leagues (Millwall and Preston) and they are both a chance to make the playoffs.

I'd love to see Milwall in the Premjer League almost as much as the EPL would hate it. The only thing that would make it even more perfect would be if Milwall were still playing on the Isle of Dogs.

Remember Millwall ripping out thousands of seats at Kenilworth rd back in the day
Then there was the calling card they’d leave on some poor sod who Copped a hiding
Congratulations, you’ve just met Millwall

Man Utd advance to the 4th Round of the FA Cup. Will either play Tranmere or Watford.

It has been a huge issue in the EPL since being introduced. Lots of stuff ups. Has to be improved.

Re: League and FA cups.

Theres been no stuff ups, its just the interpretation of the rule has changed.

It's crazy having a different interpretation of a handball depending on whether it was off a defender or attacker.

Man Utd through to the 5th round 6-0 over Tranmere Rovers.

Re: League and FA cups.

Man Utd beat Man City yesterday morning in the 2nd leg of the League cup but it is not enough to go through and Man City advanced 3-2 on agg to the final to play Aston Villa. B
