[Wilko]

You have got to LOVE the FA cup

 

[Blackadder]

The bookies are laughing all the way to the bank!

Wouldn't be so sure. I reckon a lot of people fancied Leeds.

 

[Marc]

bloody hell they showed the Brighton goal!!

 

[perseus]

Leeds deserved to win. Played like they did against the Albion, the long accurate ball doing the damage. I must dislike (=hates) Leeds more than Man United and it wasn't even a close run thing.

 

[Dover]

Isn't Gus the man! The praise he has give his "Captain Croft" was magic.

There would be 2 lots of bets going down the toilet today. The match itself,and those that bet on Man U to win the cup outright.

"My Captain Crofts ees doing well. He get the boll, he break up e-play, and he get in thee box and is e-scoring gols..."

True.

Nope. A few went large on a 1-0 Leeds win, Beckford first goalscorer (one guy plumped £100 on it!), but the overwhelming majority went with Man Utd. That said, I would say that the bookies have made a hit though, because there were a few large bets on Leeds.

 

[Dirty Dave]

so when was the last time we went further than man utd in the cup?

 

[Spunk Bubble]

Today was the first day I supported Leeds in a game purely because I f**king hate Gary Neville & Ferguson. Well done Lads !!!!!

I think it was in 1986 when we reached the Quarter Finals. In the previous round, Man Utd lost 0-2 at Old Trafford in a replay against West Ham.

 

[sam86]

Fergie is apparently yet to face the waiting press...

"Still no sign of Sir Alex Ferguson, nearly an hour after the final whistle. He's spoken to MUTV, but not to us waiting hacks..."

"If SAF doesn't end up talking to the press, I'd be pretty disgusted. It's petty really, acting like a child. And this is coming from a United fan."

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Fergie was quite magnanimous in defeat I thought, very complimentary to Leeds & admitted they deserved to win.

Can't see why he was crapping on about injury time though, five minutes looked more than adequate from what I saw. Shame he had to spoil the moment by bringing that up when until that point he'd been very honest.

i agree, and fair play to andy townsends opinion that if a fergie side was losing he would say 15mins was not enough

 

[Mr Apples]

A good effort by plucky little Leeds
