not keen on thursday night games

Yep unfortunately finishing 4th is far more important than winning the Cup.
No good playing in the Mickey Mouse Europa league, Fergie has already stated that we will play a weakened side in Europa and not interested in going to next round. Thursday night games are shockers

There's a few of you Francenal lads on here, and with Wedgie now on the Spurs bandwagon, a huge derby like the FA Cup final would make this space worth watching lol

Millwall v Bolton next round then.
If Bolton put out a weakened team they might have a tough time at the new Den.
Not the most welcoming place on earth apparantly. :shock:

I went to the old Den back in the mid 80's and got out alive.
Mind you I had a sore neck for a week caused by constantly looking over my shoulder.
An absolute craphole of an area with plenty of dark and damp tunnels under the railway lines and a few dodgy council estates.
Wasn't game enough to try out any of the local pubs lol.

Havnt ever been there for a United match.
Been a couple of times as a neutral and it was a filthy, dark crappy place. Fans were very intimidating, been to Anfield and Elland Road in a United strip and felt safer.

Middlesbrough 1-2 Sunderland AET
Disgraceful scenes as at the Riverside as a fan ran onto the pitch and laid a slide tackle on Boro's Justin Hoyte. Luckily he wasnt seriously injured but he was limping for rest of game. Was 1-1 at the time and Sunderland won it late in ET
