Yeah but if we knock the cunts out of that after today's result it'll be one of their worst ever experiences since Sky first set them up as Champions. With all the teams attacking the top 4 & rags being 'giant killed' this season's like being back in the 70's. Football is back.
Was just thinking that mate. What a season we are seeing and dare I say it, I'd love to see Leeds back in the Prem, just for the atmosphere.........should I say that on here?!?

He's just been on mate, saying it was a disgrace that there was only 5 minutes! I'd actually like to know where they got the 5 minutes from; does he buy them in bulk or something???
Sir Alex Ferguson admitted he was “shocked” and “surprised” at United’s disappointing performance that led to a third round exit in the FA Cup at the hands of fierce rivals Leeds.
The Reds boss had hoped his men would come flying out of the blocks to start 2010 as United had finished it with a thumping 5-0 win over Wigan. But that just didn’t happen as Sir Alex’s men delivered a frustratingly flat display.
“The preparation for the game was very good, but I’m shocked by the performance,” the boss told MUTV. “We didn’t start right and Leeds did start right. They got their goal and had something to hold onto. They fought like tigers, and we expect that with any team coming to Old Trafford for an FA Cup tie. It’s a disappointment.”
Jermaine Beckford gave the visitors the lead and merely exacerbated the manager’s frustration at the first-half display. “We did speak about Beckford’s pace up front,” he said. “We were caught napping really, it was a bad goal for us to lose. The whole performance in the first half was bad. We never got going and the quality of the passing… the whole performance was just bad.
“It’s one of these things. We’re only human and sometimes you have performances that surprise you. But we didn’t expect that today.”
United’s second-half response provided a glimmer of hope, but even that wasn’t enough to break Leeds’ hold on the game. “I don’t think any of the players can say they had a good day. Maybe only [Antonio] Valencia, when he came on, can say that. Even then it took us about ten minutes to get the ball to him.
“You expect us to get a goal at Old Trafford, and the intensity of our game improved a little bit in the second half. We had a lot of chances in
the box, but on the day we didn’t take them.”
Several players were rested ahead of Wednesday’s Carling Cup semi-final against Manchester City, but this poor performance may force the boss to rethink his selection as United will not want to lose consecutive cup ties against local rivals.
“We have to get this result out of our system as quickly as possible,” added Sir Alex. “We have a semi-final on Wednesday and a lot of these players won’t be playing. You have to view this performance in the right light. We’ll make sure we’re ready for Wednesday now. We had a team in mind, but there will maybe be a few changes for that.”
That team may not include Nemanja Vidic, however, who pulled out of the starting line-up at the last minute against Leeds
