Runners up no longer qualify for Europe if the winners have qualified through the league, so losing to United in the final wouldn't benefit us. Let's just smash United in the semi - we'll do them - and hope for Watford in the final. Two good, honest teams fighting it out for the trophy.

Would rather play United then West Ham, also fear Watford can hit us on the counter attack, apart from West Ham there is nothing in it at all, on the day any team can easily beat anyone else left, no one stands out at all.

Thought they changed the rule a couple of years ago so that all pitches had to be the same size?

No there are minimum and maximum dimensions.

Width must be between 64m and 75m and length between 100m and 110m

Wembley is 105m X 69m
Goodison is 100.5m X 68m
Old Trafford is 105m X 68m
Vicarage Road is 105m X 69m
Selhurst Park is 101m X 68m

So in terms of width no advantage for Everton but we and Palace will find Wembley a bit longer !!

Rooney is back by the SF dates. Rooney at Wembley pulling strings: no thanks.

Totally agree with you mate. There is nothing about man U to fear. Nothing. I believe we would beat them.

That said I'd like Man U in the final. Beating them in the final would be huge.
 
We dont want utd to get to the final. the club wembley tickets might come back on sale. If utd are there the non supporters will still go.
 
I'm in pure panic looking ahead if we happen to reach the cup final I'll just be landing in France on a family holiday.

Totally off topic here but anybody know if they have the cup final on in a Eurocamp village. :)

Almost certainly mate. Make friends with the bar staff early on, and they will sort you.
 
Which Rooney, the one that always has an off day against us? Or the one who seems to be past it now, rather face him then Payet right now


We can best any of these teams

We can nullify any threat from any of their players.

Except Payet.

I hope we avoid him :)

It has opened up nicely for us after today. Best chance of lifting a trophy for yonks with the likes of Chelsea and especially the RS out.

Starting to believe we can do it which is always a dangerous moment but what the hell. Nobody to worry about in the draw tomorrow but it would be nice to wait for the final before facing Utd/WHU. We have played well throughout this competition without conceding a goal so no-one can say we don't deserve to win it if we do.

No, the captain of England Rooney who strolls round that place like he owns it...and often does.

Dont underestimate the ability of a class player to destroy club football opposition at Wembley. Mata and Rooney could produce no end of trouble for us. I'll be glad to see the back of United from this cup.
