That said if I'm deciding now smashing them in the final would be my wish for this year.


A double edged sword of course.

But those days are what it's all about!

Agreed. I want them in the final (if we get past West Ham).

Understand where you're coming from about losing to rags in a Wembley final. However. Lets not forget we have to play the semi first. A likely win but lets not count chickens and all that. Secondly, the opportunity to batter the rags at their 'second home' is too good to resist. Yes, in a one off game anything can happen, (Wigan), but in this one it could be the record win at Wembley. Even a 1-0 win with a last minute og off Camel Gobs bum would rub their noses in it and would be immense

I hope they get a couple of wins soon, just so it keeps Gollum in a job a while longer

Have just seen the first report suggesting Gollum is not the right man for the job. Didn't expect it so soon. The grip on the media really is slipping. On Eurosport for anyone interested

Todays result makes it essential we win the Capital One cup this year. Dont want those bastards sneaking off with that at all and we have to win it to stop them and keep Moyes confidence on the fuclin floor.

So funny though thinking back to when Gollum took over how bacon would help him etc etc if he wants to help he would stop turning up soooooo funny


I worry about the longevity of Eveton. Martinez has definitely improved them, but let's say they make top 4. Will they find another lukaku quality striker for loan? Will the likes of us and Chelsea keep lining them players?

Will they earn enough to invest? Could easily go pear shaped there.

Spoke to a rag tonight who said he'd prefer to lose to Sunderland than risk a beating against us. Not sure I helped when I said I'd prefer them too, as Sunderland usually give us a game.

Could we name a stand after Moyes?

it is much to early for Moyes to be judged.

He needs a minimum off at least 3 seasons.This season he has to asses what needs to be done,next season make his own signings and move players on,and a further season for his signings to gel and play his style.

It wont be easy,Things might get much worse before they get better,maybe a season or two in the wilderness,but they have to hang on in there,support their manager help him try and achieve his objectives.You cant just sack managers willy nilly,it is all about stability.

I am dreading the CapitalOne Cup Final ... I didn't like the draw for the semis at all ... I wanted them over two legs in the semi and I was a total 100% confident we'd get past them over two legs and then a relatively pressure free final against Sunderland or West Ham would have done me just fine ... problem with this whole scenario now is (and by this whole scenario I mean Moyes and scum being under so much pressure) ... if we get through (which we should) and they too get through then we have a one off 90 min game at a neutral ground ... AND that'll be seen as their best chance of a trophy this season so the whole scum juggernaut, their people inside FA, the ref unions and baconface calling guys left right an centre to get something done to screw us that day ... 90 mins, one off game is too fucking short and a single decision by the ref can tilt it and we all fucking know how many they have in their pockets ...

There, I have said it ... I'm dreading it ...

Now, c'mon Sunderland dick them 4-0 at home and then back at the swamp drill them a few more ...

yeah but its yet another blotch on the rags ever so proud home record.Teams have been winning at the swamp this season that had not won there for donkeys and to add to that now we have a team winning for the first time.

Moyes offers no excuses
David Moyes felt his Manchester United side were unlucky to go out of the FA Cup at the third-round stage against Swansea.
