Anyone watching tonight's FA Cup third-round replays with Southampton currently 1-0 up against Ipswich.

 

Currently:

Bradford 3-0 Millwall

Tottenham 1-2 Burnley

 

 

 

Fourth Round weekend coming up... Where will the shocks be? (if any at all)

 

Would love to see Cambridge or Bolton win, but a more realistic one is Bournemouth at Aston Villa. Not sure if that'd be a massive shock though :lol:

Potential shocks:

 

Birmingham beating West Brom.

 

Can't see there being any shocks. Although I hope I'm proved wrong.

 

0-0 at half time :manson:

 

For the love of christ! Half the MUFC players don't deserve to be playing for Cambridge never mind Man United! We need a fire sale this summer. If you're on the pitch and your surname starts with J, you need to c**t off.

HAHAHAHA no idea why Van Gaal gets an easy ride. Man Utd are absolute poo, they can't score goals for toffee without the array of talent they have. Such a mis-match of a squad. I've on doubt they'll smash Cambridge off the park at Old Trafford, but it's still funny.

And yet they're still above Liverpool in the Premiership. :lol: Your hatred for Man United is quite funny at times.

Yes but the difference is, I will wholly accept Liverpool were shit for the first 4 months of the season. People were genuinely speaking about Manchester United as title contenders a month ago. They're not playing well, and all of their signings are getting an easy time. Di Maria - sorry but when you pay nearly £60m he should be doing far, far more. I don't even know what Herrera does.

 

These away FA Cup games are always hard, but there are always moments when the quality shines through. That didn't happen once for Man Utd tonight.

Man U were clearly the better side but just didn't come close to making their superiority tell. If a team has 75% possession but the game finishes 0-0, you might expect that the man of the match award would be likely to go to the goalkeeper for the team with 25% possession. Not tonight.

The dream is still alive! :lol:

 

Cambridge defended well and deserved the replay but on a much wider Old Trafford pitch they will definitely not keep a clean sheet again and Man Utd will beat them within 90 mins.

You'll beat Cambridge easily at Old Trafford, no problem with that. But I just find it hilarious how an easy ride they are given by the media. Liverpool's new signings were crucified in December, yet Man Utd's get off with a free ride, despite being worse! Main problem for Van Gaal imo, is I don't think he knows what his best team is.

It seems like he's got options - in terms of players he's willing to trust the squad is far deeper than Liverpool's, and some of the players are very versatile - but he doesn't seem to know which option to use when. He basically nailed that side of it with the Dutch over the summer, but that was very much a case of nullifying the opposition and waiting for Robben to do something ridiculous. Ironically I think he's a better Champions League than Premier League manager.

Lots of options yes, but they have too big a squad for, hence why I think he keeps chopping and changing. They have had a lot of injuries this year, but I don't think they have had any player out of a significant length of time? Although I'm willing to be challenged on that.

 

He plays his team up not to lose and I think they would be hard to beat in Europe certainly. But they don't look convincing at all. I think they're too slow of a team, and the one player that does have real pace, Di Maria, well I don't thin any system they've played suits him at all.

CRAZY

 

Southampton, Spurs, Man City & Chelsea all out. Just got to pray Liverpool aren't on the receiving end of an upset either!

:lol: Maybe Derby getting to the final isn't too strange a possibility now!

Fantastic day of FA Cup magic. The number (and magnitude) of upsets was really quite incredible and there's still some potentials to come tomorrow!

 

United's result not looking so bad now :lol:
