TheRedFlag · 22nd February 2007, 16:25

Should be a cracker, Sky should televise it

Mr. MUJAC · 23rd February 2007, 14:05

On the Arsenal website it says that the first leg at the Emirates will be on Saturday the 10th of March with the return at Old Trafford on Saturday the 24th.....

Both dates are still to be confirmed.........

What's your opinion on Sam Hewson? What type of player is he?

Go on the Arsenal website....£3 in advance or £10 on the night.....

superdave · 7th March 2007, 18:39

I have Arsenal supporting mates who said they can get me tickets. If they got some for me, would I have to sit with the Arsenal lot? Or are fans not separated?

MPTutd · 8th March 2007, 11:52

Got my tickets. Looking forward to it.

Psmith · 9th March 2007, 10:22

Got tickets as well. Should be good.

westlife4ever · 11th March 2007, 07:43

ManUtd.com is selling tickets of this game now

superdave · 11th March 2007, 21:24

Any chances any of the United/Arsenal first team or management going to the Emirates on Wednesday night? Might try to get a few autographs. Definately getting some from our boys anyway.

Elliott · 14th March 2007, 14:05

this might be a long shot, but any live streams for this one. i assume it's live on MUTV?

PS18 · 14th March 2007, 15:56

32,000 tickets sold according to Arsenal's site apparently. bigger than lots of premiership crowds

going to be a bit daunting for our lads maybe, considering less than a thousand showed up at OT for the last round. terrific experience though, just hope we can get a really good turnout for the second leg on the 2nd April.

Elliott · 14th March 2007, 18:34

i take it MUTV are showing it live? if so are there any streams for it or could someone watching keep the less fortunate up to date? can't believe how friggin' slow this thread has been

noodlehair · 14th March 2007, 19:34

Decent game

Pretty even so far, though Arsenal look a bit toothless

MarliMan · 14th March 2007, 19:40

put up the teams someone

Don16 · 14th March 2007, 19:44

Any news on the score?

Surprising...

Elliott · 14th March 2007, 19:59

quick half time report anyone??

Elliott · 14th March 2007, 20:53

fulltime reports then, lazy bastards

Mozza · 14th March 2007, 21:01

Lost 1-0 though we were the better side apparently

Einar15 · 14th March 2007, 21:04

United lost 1-0 against Arsenal

lineup: Amos, Eckersley, Cleverley, Chester, Cathcart, Drinkwater, Welbeck, Hewson, Brandy, Fagan, Galbraith.

unused subs: Evans, Zieler, Bryan, Derbyshire, McCormack

Very evenly matched teams and United still have a good chance of getting to the final.

Record attendance in the Youth Cup at the Emiratrs with 38.000

Red17 · 14th March 2007, 21:05

Lost 1-0. But on the balance of the play, it should've been a draw. We probably had more possession and our approach play was very good but just lack the cutting edge in the penalty box. Defensively, we were pretty solid as well except for one moment of lapse when the goal scorer drifted/darted behind Eckersley & Wellbeck in the penalty box to get on to a pass and shot first time past Amos.

Elliott · 14th March 2007, 21:10

all in all decent enough then. we'll beat them at OT and as always - it's all about the performence at youth level

Red17 · 14th March 2007, 21:10

Cathcart was immense in defence.

Hewson in CM looked another solid prospect - has a presence about him - technique is good; so is his distribution; awareness also good.

Wellbeck also had an excellent game, as did Brendy. Both caused Arsenal all sorts of problem. Brendy's size however was a disadvantage and the Arsenal defenders could match his pace. Very quick and tricky feet, though.

Cold_Boy · 14th March 2007, 21:14

Can someone post the Arsenal line-up?How many English players did they have?

At least half of them, by the look of them & their names.

the usual suspects then... some more ratings would be greatly appreciated

PS18 · 14th March 2007, 21:22

Arsenal Youth

* Lee Butcher
* Gavin Hoyte
* Paul Rodgers
* Armand Traore
* Abu Ogogo
* Kieran Gibbs
* James Dunne
* Francisco Merida Perez
* Nacer Barazite
* Mark Randall
* Jay Simpson

Subs not used

* Wojciech Szczesny
* Carl Parisio
* Henri Lansbury
* Rhys Murphy
* Rene Steer

strong team that. lots of youth internationals, Hoyte and Merida have been on the fringes of their first team for cup games already, Traore has played several times for the firsts ofc. comparitively we're a much more raw side, we've done well to by all accounts match them tonight.

really hope we get an excellent crowd at OT now to get behind the kids as they try and turn this round.

Tribec · 14th March 2007, 21:36

Whilst being a fairly even game, the goal to which we lost by was well taken by Arsenal.

United started the second half full of running and creating two or three half chances. Arsenal had had only one attack in the half prior to the goal. From a defensive point of view the goal was a bit sloppy. We left the winger unmarked in the box, and though he chose the near post and Amos got his hands to it, the shot was far to powerful.

Arsenal hit the bar later in the half, but that was due in main to a great save by Amos. United attacks were very pretty, but we just couldn't break through. Arsenal employed a swamped defensive barrier during the game, with 3/4 of the team being behind the ball in what seemed like no time at all.

What was encouraging was the amount of tackles United were winning in the middle of the park, most of the 50/50's came out in United's favour. It will be interesting to see this Arsenal team come and play at OT. They played in the style of there manager, one Steve Bould.

The one dark spot of the night, was near the end of the game, when for no reason really a coin was thrown by Arsenal fans at a United player as he tried to take a corner. It wasn't that sort of game to invoke that sort of thing really, it was just a stupid act which could cost Arsenal.

Apart from bringing them to OT and beating them, we need to get the club making an effort to beat this 38,000 attendance record set tonight. I'm sure that United could and should be able to do it.
