F.A. Cup Semi Final: Everton Vs Manchester Utd.

[BlackToffee]

If ferguson doesnt let saha play against them I will lose every inch of respect I have for that man

Saha is an Everton player, period. Utd are not his parent club. So long as he's fit (a greater concern) he'll play, whether SAF likes it or not.

Would rather have met you in the Final

Tougher game for us than Chelski or Arsenal ( If they beat Hull)


Oh well may the best team win and all that

 

[TX Bill]

I'd wish you luck but I'd feel all dirty.

The toughest draw for us, and I'm sure you're glad (really) to have avoided Chelsea. Obviously you're favourites. Hopefully your CL duties get in the way and we somehow pull a result out of the hat.

A Man United v. Everton final would have been immense, though.

Yeah, you'd rather play Everton than Chelsea even if we had a full fit squad. Without Arteta/Yakubu, you'd pick us in a heartbeat.

I think if the game was next week you'd rather play Arsenal than Everton though. However, if Arsenal have players back from injury (in 6 weeks time? What's with that huge gap?) you'd rather play us again.

Having said that, we have a decent defence (only conceeded two goals in a game once in 25 games according to the paper this morning), and as long as we have Cahill and Saha there's always a chance of us nicking a goal or two, providing we can make the game "not one for the neutrals".

On a side note, if a miracle happens and we won the cup this year, we would have beaten 4 of the top 5 teams (by league position). Has there ever been a team with that bad a draw through to the final?

I think Fergie will play a weakened side, is he going to risk his top players against a hard fighting Everton side?

Depends on his values.

Depends on his values.

He didnt leave many major players out Yesterday against Fulham, so i think he would play most of his major players.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

He'll play a top side. He doesn't want to lose to Moyes a fellow Scot.

Anything, anything but fat little nobhead scoring the winner.

Please.

 

[Welton Toffee]

Yup, think they are taking the FA Cup seriously. Especially with their chances of getting the quintuple or whatever it's called.

We know this semi-final will be difficult but United will be wary of us. They will falter in one of the competitions they are still in. The League is almost theirs now, they won the Carling Cup so that just leaves the Champions League and the FA Cup and i just cant see them doing a clean sweep. Lets hope they have an off day at Wembley.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

I know we won't back down. This time we will prevail. We have had by far the hardest road to this matchup. I think they will underestimate us. Hoping Saha is fit to give them a lesson.

I have a really good feeling about this match we are gonna win 1-0 again

Thats what i like to here lads, a bit of belief.

2-0 Mancs. Rooney will score. Its written and he'll run around like a nob so that the Manure fans can laugh at us that their great scouse striker knocked his boyhood club out the FA Cup. Something he's been dreaming about since he was 7 years old apprantly.
