I'd be more than happy with either Poch or OGS to be honest. I think OGS should be given a second season perhaps and the chance to add or subtract some faces if he wanted. He's just got utd in his blood and heart.

He’s still got to prove himself, but has certainly galvanised the team in the short time he’s been there. I think it may depend on what Poch wants to do and when he wants to leave an empty cut board behind him.

[200Plus Club]

In the words of the immortal Jimmy Greaves "it's a funny old game Saint "

Or "it's a game of 2 halves" perhaps?

"I'd just love it if" we finish above spurs and Liverpool win sweet FA.

Anyway we can extend the season like the brexit deadline and see how it pans out for Utd to catch up lol...

Their thin squad and another injury is going to test Poch’s resolve.

One shot on target all game.

He looked pretty narked after the game.

They're getting injuries going into the last (toughest) phase of the season. I can definitely see them dropping points now and us making a real fist in getting 3rd place.

Giddy optimism around here. It’s only been a few games since this side was truly awful, so I’m just hoping the high can continue for a while!

The giggles will be for us when we finish above you

I'm always optimistic. We enter 4 comps and at the start of every season I give us a fighting chance in them all.

You guys are struggling at the minute and we seem to have had a revival, I know the gap's 7 points but that's doable. You got 3 points in the last 10 seconds the other day, fair play, but you're stuttering.

True but you are due a blip and we are having ours now. You also have Arsenal coming up whilst we have Newcastle.

We've just come out of a 16 game blip!

We have some big games, 'tis true but I can sense something happening with you lot. I can see you, us, Arse and Chelski making it a 4 way push for 3rd.

[Old Man Fred]

The gap between Utd and Spurs was 13 points less than 4 weeks ago. Will be genuinely interesting to see how it develops given that it almost half that now..

Team for tomorrow boys?

Dave Saves

Young (I would like Dalot to play though)
Lindelhof
Jones
Shaw

Matic
Herrera

Lingard
Pogba
Martial

Rashford

I was one out, Luke Shaw decided to be poorly 30 mins before kick off the doughnut!

Anyway, I expect the same starting 11 tonight. Sanchez to come off the bench and get an overhead kick winner in the last minute. You heard it here first!

7 game winning streak? It's now overdue.

We'll beat Newcastle with Lloris playing centre forward.

I did wonder.

[franki68]

Looking forward to tonight,fa cup games vs arsenal alwAys special.99 semi was probably the best fa cup game ever,2 fantastic teams battling for the title going head to head in the cup with a phenomenal game which had everything .
My first Wembley visit was the 79 cup final when Alan Sunderland made me cry .

Based on both teams defences I would expect a Fair few goals at both ends .

Ah right.

[anniesdad]

You may not have seen OGS' press conference but he puts the FA Cup game against Arsenal in '99 as the catalyst for United winning the treble. Says if we had lost that game (Schmeichel's penalty save anyone?), Arsenal would have done the double.
