Man U v Sunderland - Gus on HIS way to Wembley

[Lady Whistledown]

I don't mind if Poyet reaches the final. I'm completely indifferent to him. I'm certainly not waving a United flag because of what a silly tart he became.

That said, a City-Sunderland final would be a total walkover for City, so for the sake of the game itself, a Manchester derby would probably be preferable.

This United team is absolutely awful.. They have such an extremely average team now, for a team like United to have Buttner Rafael Evans and Smalling in defence , how the mighty fall in just a few years.

Fergie knew when it was time to retire

Man City aren't as strong away from home, and Sunderland have already beaten them. Man City have already beaten Man Utd 4-1 (at home). On results so far this season, Man City v Man Utd would be more of a walkover.

Though I'd say either way, Man City would be strong favourites, but if Sunderland go through tonight, we won't have to deal with so much "everything is better for man u, now" press, and won't have much mention of Man U in the build up to and fall out from the final.

Great noise from the Mackems it must be said.

I don't think I've ever heard of a more dumb rule than the away goal only counting after extra time, one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

That's what I have always thought. there was no way Fergie would of retired if he still had a squad capable of winning the league and in with a good shout of the European cup.
As for tonights match, I want Poyet out and Man U to go through to a Manchester final where they will be blown away.

 

[The Wizard]

Smalling got away with that, made a massive mistake there and dragged Fletcher down. Not sure what the ref/assistant saw

Exactly. It's not about supporting Utd as they would lose in the final anyhow, it's all about Poyet hitting the ceiling having failed to get to Wembley.

Can I just reiterate how dreadful Lee Catermole is at this level in a passing team. If I was Gus and Sunderland, I'd forget about negotiating, and I'd be slapping the big bucks down for Bridders, because they need someone who can PASS in front of their back four. Sunderland have some good players in there, but the amount of times it's broken down with Catermole is incredible.

Come on Sunderland

What happens if it stays 1-0 at full time? Extra time or Man U go through on away goals?

Extra time, MU only win it on away goals after extra time.

Extra time, MU only win it on away goals after extra time.

Thanks.

 

[Northstander]

As the final will be Citeh v xxxx you can pretty much guarantee European football regardless of the result which is why United want it so bad

 

[Bold Seagull]

and Gus takes Catermole off. surprised that didn't happen 30mins ago....or at half time!

Adam Johnson cost Sunderland TEN million pounds! Lee Catermole may have played his whole career in the Prem, but he's not as good as Liam. **** me, Bridders & Buckers (even with chocolate hamstrings) would/could/should be worth millions Rodney.

I only want Sunderland to win because they are sponsored by Binfest.

Bridcutt hasn't been playing against Premier league oppo though.

I agree mind you.

Johnson is a quality player, given that Zaha cost the same I'd say he's probably worth that.

Is Gus trying to get a part in the next Despicable Me film with that roll neck he's wearing?
