United travelled west to Liverpool for a 4th round FA Cup game at rivals Liverpool. With injuries yet again hitting the side hard, they lined up in a 4-5-1 without key creative players Rooney or Nani. Rafael returned at right back whilst Carrick was joined in the middle by the oldies, Giggs and Scholes. Welbeck was asked to lead the line and at the back, De Gea was brought in at a ground he did well at last time out. Liverpool matched United’s formation with Carroll leading their attack and Carragher sitting in front of the back four.

Below, we discuss the talking points and invite Liverpool fans as well as United fans to join in the discussion.

A Tale of 2 Clubs, 2 Trophies and 1 Banner

Posted on May 17, 2011  by Bricki  in Bricki, FA Cup, Man United, Manchester City, Premier League   4 Comments »

AUTHOR: – Bricki

This weekend the two major trophies in the English domestic game have ended up living in Manchester for the next 12 months.

I want to say ‘Congratulations’ to Manchester City. I have quite a few honest football supporting blues who deserve some success finally.

At a time where the city as a whole should be celebrating you won’t hear many red cheers for blue or vice versa, yet it hasn’t always been this way. The older generation who remember the game in the 50s/60s/70s talk about going to see United one week and City the next. The players socialised together and generally the city enjoyed having two teams competing at the top of the league.

With the potential success of both sides in the near future, How should the fans and the city as a whole approach something we’ve not seen for many a year?

35 years

AUTHOR: – Doron

It’s 56 years since Man City beat United in the FA Cup, that was only a 4th round tie though. You have to go back 85 years to find the only previous meeting in the semi-final of this competition between these two side – City were victorious, winning 3-0 at Bramall Lane that day. Sticking with the years theme, City will be looking to reach their first FA Cup final since 1981 to give themselves a chance of ending the 35 year barren spell; whereas for United, the competition’s most successful side, a 4 year absence from the final would be ended. Oh, and these two sides happen to be pretty big rivals…

Manchester United 2-0 Arsenal Talking Points

Posted on March 12, 2011  by Stretford-end  in Arsenal, FA Cup, Man United, Match Reports   4 Comments »

Fabio Scores

Manchester United booked their place in the last four after a 2-0 victory over Arsenal at Old Trafford. Brazilian full back, who was operating on the left hand side of midfield, scored the opener midway through the first half before Wayne Rooney scored a header early in the second half. Both Arsenal and United had good chances throughout the match – however Edwin Van Der Sar put in a great performance to deny Arsenal time and time again. Many Reds are hoping that Sir Alex Ferguson can convince the Dutchman to change his mind on retirement and sign for another year. Here we discuss the talking points of today’s game and welcome and comments from both United and Arsenal fans.

Giggs wonder goal vs. Arsenal
AUTHOR: – Doron

Manchester United and Arsenal have played out some classic FA Cup fixtures in the past 20 years. United fans will naturally think back to Giggs at Villa Park, whereas Arsenal fans may remember Edu’s deflected free kick and Giggs open goal miss in 2003. Tomorrow’s game comes at a tricky time for both sides and in many ways the FA Cup this year may represent the best chance of a trophy for either side, with neither seemingly wanting to put a firm grasp on the league.

Crawley Town
AUTHOR: – Doron

There’s a place in the quarter finals of the FA Cup available as United host non-league Crawley Town. This is a new fixture for United in competitive football as Crawley will be the 205th team they’ve ever faced. Is a shock on the cards?

Southampton 1-2 Manchester United Talking Points

Hernandez scored for United

In the past six years, United have now traveled to St Mary’s three times to face Southampton in the FA Cup. On the two previous occasions (in 04/05, 08/09) United won handsomely; 4-0 and 3-0 respectively. However, last night United made it hard work for themselves in booking their place in the 5th round. A second string side, a rare tactical blunder by Fergie and the inclusion of some players that are getting a little bit of stick a the moment all contributed to the poor showing in the first half. The second half, after the inclusion of Giggs and Nani, was much better – with Michael Owen and Javier Hernandez getting on the scoresheet.

United vs. Southampton
Manchester United will travel to Southampton on Saturday to continue their FA Cup campaign. United have officially made it one round further in the FA Cup than they did last season. Everyone will of course remember last season’s heartbreaking exit in the third round against Leeds United. However, a win over Liverpool at Old Trafford means United is now onto the fourth round.
