FA Cup

What a great result for Leeds. Loving seeing the red scum looking dejected.

Did anyone see Ferguson's interview?

Didnt see it but heard he thought it was an insult that they only got 5 minutes added on
You gotta love the guy

On a side note...5-0 to the mighty blues
Not to mention Liverpool (underservedly tbh) drawing with Reading and West Ham currently beating Arsenal with 15 mins to go

chelsea away to preston fa cup easy easy

City away to Scunthorpe. Should be ok but a potential banana skin.

As a man utd fan (for 35 years) can I say that the only thing that is insulting is Ferguson's contempt for other teams. Yes he's won us a load of trophies but at the same time he has cost us almost as many by fielding poor sides against opposition who he thought we only had to turn up to beat and who grasped the chance when faced with 50% of the reserves. He obviously thought leeds were going to roll over the second the saw a red shirt whereas they gave it a go from the start and look where it got them. There are many teams who come to old trafford and are beaten before they get off the bus (wolves, anyone) but every now and then he gets shown up for what he is. His remarks about injury time, referees etc are becoming both increasingly erratic and embarrassing and in serious danger of casting a shadow over what should be considered one of the great managerial achievements. With the prospect of Mourinho becoming available there must be thoughts that his time is up and he should (although he won't) call it a day this season.

First smile since Kewell's header at Elland Road 7 years ago, a great day! Great draw too (Spurs) but all that matters is promotion. Thanks lads, fantastic result!!

Well said. Nice to hear from a realistic United fan.
