Once McLaren came in it was the difference between night and day. He tweaked the team while adding quality but still kept the strong team bond. Now we have just chucked all that hard work in the bin and gone full QPR. Was this your opinion 10 games ago??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'll be there. Looking forward to the game, I always do. But no more or less than most average (i.e. Not first or last game of the season) league games. I'm not wetting myself just because it's United. Actually looking forward more to Fulham next week.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm looking forward to it but then I look forward to all our games. Win or lose I just hope we show up & give a good account of ourselves. If we turn it on and give them the runaround I will be ecstatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'm happy when we win but I haven't even gone to a game this season. Heck I ain't even listened to one on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 No - a game between sides managed by cautious managers who will follow a safety first policy in order to prevent themselves coming under greater pressure. They have just a bit too much quality to give us much of chance, but are themselves so tedious to watch. Too many day trippers in our stands, too many potentially drunk away supporters for the evening to pass off safely. Add to that the feeling of being fleeced for the tickets. I'm way more excited about watching the Preston game on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 It has all the potential to be one of the great moan-offs as two sets of disillusioned fans of two out of sorts teams go head-to-head. Which teams fans will muster the loudest rendition of "you're getting sacked in the morning..."? Who will win the coveted "first fan out of the stadium" award if it descends into a 0-0 borefest? Me, I'm going to cheer myself up by watching it in the local. Which is run by the most miserable Baggies-supporting bunch of west midlanders you could meet.

Some of their bench players will likely be replaced by people like Perreira(sp?) but yeah, I expect it to be a pretty much first team XI (with the exception of the full backs as they currently have 5 FB's injured).

LauraH Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm looking forward to it IMO it's a much needed pressure free game. Also i like the fact that for once we are the underdogs and as Daveo says it has the potential to kick start a good run. So long as we give a good account of ourselves i'll be happy. Plus i really like BBC coverage of FA cup games. It's interesting that Van Gaal has said (in his usual cryptic way) that if they lose he will probably get sacked, not sure what affect that comment will have on his players.

Well more specifically he said it will "probably" get him sacked "for the fourth time" referencing the 3 times this season the media has come out saying he's about to be sacked/resign. If he loses, he will actually get sacked though. Man Utd fans I've spoken to are more than happy to miss out on their last real chance of any silverware this season to see LVG gone.

Wolfie Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Unwelcome distraction. Really couldn't give a stuff as long as we don't pick up any injuries. Lose 5-0 tonight & be fresh & fit for the Preston game, I'll be just fine with that. Seriously considering not watching it on TV. If I do, then I'll start to care about it and I don't want that for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of domestic silverware yes. However, I suspect the moneymen at United will have told LVG to prioritise the Chumps League next season and hence top 4. So I do not expect this competition to be their #1 priority. Do FA cup winners get a spot in Europa League or is there now no competition for them at all?

archram Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm not able to get to many games so I'm always excited when I am going to one. I also have to admit to a soft spot for United in the past as I was actually able to see the Busby Babes play - and fell in love with Duncan Edwards!
