Really want to win this so we get get in the habit of winning trophies and to shut every last **** up that says we need to win something or the world will end.

If Poch is clever he will play up the advantage and get in their heads rather than play it down.

I’d rather Poch just stay Poch and not get involved with the inevitable mind games that Mourinho will start in a couple of weeks.

Trust me ....of the three possible opponents we were Jose's worst nightmare. They don't deserve to be in any sort of final so let's knock them out now and stuff Chelsea to lift the cup...COYS.

A better way might be to really play it down heavily, to the point it's obvious that we are being sarcastic. That would get under their skin and could affect their mentality for the game!

Hope our players don't start the usual trend of coming out in the press saying we're going to do this or that now, we always seem to get baited into a spate of interviews where we over-estimate ourselves just when it gets to crunch time and then fuck it up.

Stay quiet, ignore Mourinho as much as possible, just get on with the job.

It's going to be hard enough to win those two games without letting ourselves get dragged into the pointless mind games which we never come out of well.

Totally agree with you...Poch needs to show his maturity over the next few weeks and ignore Jose's inevitable taunts and goading...by saying absolutely nothing and treating him and his team with the total disrespect they deserve.We rise above...we conquer...we move on.

Fuck the pre match talking.

Talking is done on the pitch. United have plenty of individual talent capable of standing up and winning any game but collectively they're pretty gash.

If we come out and press them into oblivion we'll win.

All talking done on the pitch. Poch shouldn't engage in any of the pre match shit, and I'm confident he won't.

It'll be a game of tactics. No way will Mourinho set them out like he did against us in January as we'd boss them in every area of the pitch again.


I'm confident Poch will live up to his song and show us how magic he really is.

Not too bothered about potentially having to face Chelsea in the final. Only thing that worries me about United is getting "Mourinho'd" but get through the that and it's a shootout between us and Chelsea. I'll just be excited to see us in a final and being so close to lifting a trophy again.

The way Jose has been pissing off the players and fans, the squad would have imploded by the time we play them.

The SFs will be played on 21/Apr and 22/Apr. The FA hasn't announced which game will be played on which date yet though.

Our league game against Brighton will now be postponed to, as yet undecided, another date.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the old thing where a team in bad form with a manager getting criticised pulls out a performance of the season against us.

They’re still above us in the league, it’s going to be tough. But can’t wait.

I think we are on the same wavelength. To ignore them to the point of being irrelevancy would be just what Jose would hate and also get under the skin of their players. If we could get them into the state of mind where they are "hyper" when they go on to the pitch they will blow it, one way or another.

We can do this. #COYS!

No doubt the press will link Utd with moves for Lloris, Trippier, Vertonghen, Sanchez, Toby, Rose, Davies,Dembele, Dier, Dele, Eriksen, Kane, Lamela and Son.

Wake me up, before you go go, who needs Lloris, Trippier, Vertonghen, Sanchez, Toby, Rose, Davies, Dembele, Dier, Dele, Eriksen, Kane, Lamela and Son when you've got Sissoko.
