Worth starting a new thread or not? The other one seems to have got caught up in a discussion about Sterling.

U18s set for cup clash
United’s Under-18s are in FA Youth Cup fifth round action tonight against Newcastle at Moss Lane.

Paul McGuinness’s young charges have already seen off Portsmouth 3-2 in the third round, with goals from Paul Pogba and Will Keane (the other was an own goal), and a fourth round win away to West Ham at Upton Park – where Keane was again on target in a 1-0 triumph.

Newcastle beat Ryman League Division One South club Dulwich Hamlet’s youth team 6-2 in the third round, before going on to defeat Grimsby Town 2-1 in the last round.

The two teams are playing for a place in the quarter-finals away to Liverpool, who secured their passage to the last eight with a 9-0 victory over Southend, Raheem Sterling bagging five goals for the Anfield Reds.

United will be hoping to recover from a 5-1 league loss to Crewe Alexandra at the weekend, but the nature of the defeat – a host of missed chances and several breakaway goals for the Railwaymen, should provide plenty of motivation to get a result against the Magpies.

I have a TV where I can do a split screen function and watch two different sources.

Therefore I can watch the Arse game on digital and the FAYC game on Sky. Will certain choose the commentary from GNev.

Gah. I'm stuck too. Although I'm only choosing which stream to linger on more.

Credit us for even being in this thread. The Arsenalona thread will have about 8-10 times the comments by the end up the night. I doubt if more than 20-30% of the regular users on here know we're playing in the Youth Cup tonight.

Basically we're shit, just less shit than others.

Looking forward to this tonight, hope we put on a good showing but most importantly get a good result at the end of it.

Anybody got any other streams? The united game won't start on those two streams until the Fiorentina match is over!

Morrison is playing off Van Velzen with Lingard on the left of a 4-4-2. Newcastle look to be playing a similar system.

Morrison finding a lot of space 'he plays the game at his own pace' according the Neville.
