Woooo - so Man U have beaten 4 teams on the trot - all shite teams, hardly any reason for us to shit up !!


They're our bogey team. We couldn't even beat Moyes' ManU, or Jose's ManU earlier this season when we played them.

It'll be a heroic draw at the Emirates before they beat us comfortably at Old Trafford.

We were hamstrung because we had Wenger managing us, I can't see old hoodoos controlling us now.

Wenger isn't the issue. We thrashed them 3-0 a couple of years back when Alexis was here, and then 2-0 last season I believe.

The issue is that we're facing a reinvigorated Utd that don't have to play under Mourinho or LVG (proto Mourinho)'s ultra static positioning tactics.

Wenger's the record winner of this competition. We've won it 13 times. Can't compare the greatest FA Cup manager to anyone, can we?

A 6-3-1 won't be enough to win against United. I'm expecting a draw at the Emirates followed by a loss at Old Trafford.

Loool. Yes and ignore the 25 beatings we got along the way.

I'd 8 - 2 have to remind you!! Wenger was the exact reason we failed to beat Man U in how many attempts previously

Yes, Wenger won a competition that no one cares about enough to play full strength a few times. Congrats. Only took him 20+ years to do it too

I think both teams are well matched. I’m not intimidated by this united side. Also think if emery sets us up well we can hurt them on the counter. Ole has given them a lot of freedom to attack and he’ll want to prove a point against his old rivals. We can exploit spaces in their back line. Must play Laca, Auba and Ozil.

Emirates Stadium:
First game @10-9-'11 = 1 - 0 Swansea
Most memorable game @24-2-'22 = 2 - 1 Wolves
Last game @14-04-'24 = 0 - 2 Aston Villa

I'm more worried about them hitting us on the counter. Xhaka will be jogging to the touchline while Pogba is already in our half, and Lord Ozil's lack of tracking back opens up space for Alexis or Martial.

Utds defense being kind of a mess gives me hope though. And DDG hasn't been as good this year as in years past.

If anything, the fixture is like a home game for both sets of fans.
