cracked me upA lot will depend on who wins the first SF. If Arsenal do the unthinkable do I care about the FA Cup then? Absolutely. If City win the first SF then nah not so much

Yes, that's the Utd way of course..FFS!We shouldn't care much at all, we have more important stuff to worry about.
Try being a Liverpool fanWhat can I say these past 7 years have damaged me
It very much is, actually. Look at the side we fielded in the 2009 FA Cup semi-final, for example:Yes, that's the Utd way of course..FFS!
Wasn’t it Everton in a game we should have wonIt very much is, actually. Look at the side we fielded in the 2009 FA Cup semi-final, for example:
Foster, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Fabio Da Silva (Evra 63), Welbeck, Gibson, Anderson, Park (Scholes 67), Tevez, Macheda (Berbatov 91).
Rooney, Ronaldo, Giggs, Carrick, Nani did not feature at all... because we had more important things to worry about. Even though our next game was a run-of-the-mill home league game against Portsmouth.
Yeah, we should have had a penalty though we didn't really play well. Neither did Everton though, in all honesty it was a shite game.Wasn’t it Everton in a game we should have won
Right the 2009 cup semi which we lost and where Fergie was absolutely annihilated in the press and by the fans means it now very much is the United way? Bollocks. That’s one of Fergie’s worst ever decisions and he pretty much admitted it was, although he did always defend himself that we had a clear cut penalty denied.It very much is, actually.

Just this.No, top four and Europa League should be the priority. We should only worry about domestic cup wins when we are comfortable in getting to the top four. Solskjaer won't get any plaudits for winning a smaller domestic cup if we scupper Europe next season. It would be the same situation as LVG in his final season.
But he continued doing it, fielding weakened teams in the FA Cup pretty much all the time. Remember that hilarious win over Arsenal? We started with Fabio, O'Shea, Gibson and Rafael in midfield!Right the 2009 cup semi which we lost and where Fergie was absolutely annihilated in the press and by the fans means it now very much is the United way?

I'm on the same page. It's sad isn't it as remember the days when winIng the FA Cup meant something, it still does to me if I'm being honest. There was always a big build up on the day of the match in the mornings from the hotels.Yes, that's the Utd way of course..FFS!
If he goes for a second team then I want him fired. Should be able to fight on all front with what we got and need to play a strong side vs Chelsea.Chelsea have perhaps an even greater dilemma as they don't have a Europa plan b in CL option like we do.
So Im certain they will play a very rotated team.
I think Ole has to play his 2nd XI. Tell them go got for it with their lives. But if we lose, no big deal.
Such a ridiculous stance. We are in an unprecedented situation.If he goes for a second team then I want him fired. Should be able to fight on all front with what we got and need to play a strong side vs Chelsea.
He will never manage to play in Champions league as well if he can't deal with this situation.
