Good lad, that Rooney...
Lots of class off the pitch there....plenty of laughs on it...
Burton looked very good and deserve credit, also they will be fantastic for practice at OT in 9-10 days. Especially as we have 2 new players to come into the squad. And they will benefit from the experience not to mention the financial aspect which will also do Burton nothing but good.

Right lads heres the bet.
We all send a pic of ourselves to Yaps who is a trustworthy type. Must be authentic, holding todays paper or something like that. Or holding a piece of paper with some code written on it, so as to stop Davo's plan of googling "ugly welsh ginger" and sending that in.
If Burton go through he posts my pic in all its glory for everyone to see.
If Man Utd win he posts DJS & Davo + anyone else wanting to get in's pic.
well?

Fair enough...not the best result in the world but not the worst eitherDJS said:
Fergie is sounding very wound up tonight.
And naturally DJS has the entire board frothing at the mouth as usual.
Ultimately the pitch got them the result. If we're so bad, why are we the second best in the league? Second only behind an astonishing Chelsea.
I bet we play better against Liverpool in a few weeks than today, why is that? Because the circumstance is completely different, anyone with the slightest bit of Footballing knowledge knows that.

Stop it.
Just be honest and say they're the best team we've faced this season.
DJS said:
These road-sweepers and candlestick makers(they are not from scouse land) are actually computer programmers and physiotherapists, and have been dreaming of a chance to play at the biggest club ground in britain and one of the biggest in the world. They deserve to get that chance after the performance today.
Certainly one of the toughest matches this season, no doubt about that.Spoony said:

the object of the FA cup, if indeed the scouse cnuts needed it explaining, is to be in the hat for the next round. We get drawn out tomo like anyone else who got a result.
Congratulations to Burton they played well against a team of youngsters and a a right winger who has been out for 2 years. They deserve the replay and all the financial gain that goes with it.
Bottom line is they will get beaten at Old Trafford, it'll be a nice day out for the non leaguers and they can all marvel at the theatre of dreams.
Bottom line is we will win at OT, be in the next round of the cup and only the bitters, dippers Arses and Burton fans will ever really remember this day.
Thank you and good night
move on

I bet Fergusons fuming after that pathetic display
60/70m worth of talent, humbled by a non league side

He didnt seemed bothered in the slightest.
But then he is a Footballing man, he knows things like this can happen. Happened yesterday at Nuneatan too.

Thing is, most people aren't entirely bothered.VanNistelrater said:
Everyone acccepts that it was a bad performance by us and a good one by them. We had our chances but couldn't take them.
Everyone is confident that we'll win at OT.
To be fair, had we won 0-1 or even 0-2, DJS, Davo and Warrington would still have been here with their fishing lines

Amused mind
Spoony said:
Never been in Thailand, if I ever get there I will be looking for some Cannabis Sativa from Thailand and not some child to mistreat.
Davo said:
I bet he is quiet happy after that, he has a match where he can try out his new signings while at the same time helping a very good and ambitious Burton who need the money.
Im red2 said:
Child?
who's talking about kids?
You Christians are all the same.
Spoony said:
No need for me to comment on that, everyone knows that Thailand has a problem with child prostitution.
Im red2 said:
You are sick.
Spoony said:
No unfortunately I have to go to work tomorrow no sick note
By the way! why am I sick if I think child prostitution is a bad thing?
Do you think it should be a national sport ?
Battling Burton hold United
Brave Burton Albion had two headers cleared off the line but survived a second-half barrage to earn a 0-0 FA Cup draw with Manchester United.
Burton boss Nigel Clough sat throughout a pulsating 90 minutes which shredded the emotions and ultimately left the Brewers celebrating a lucrative Old Trafford replay on January 18.
It might have been even better too as, for the second time in 12 months, Sir Alex Ferguson's team were embarrassed by Conference opposition.
Jon Shaw and Darren Stride both had first-half headers booted off the line by Phil Bardsley, although Burton were grateful for Saul Deeney's injury-time stop to deny a Richie Jones thunderbolt.
But, just as 12 months ago when Exeter drew at the 'Theatre of Dreams', this time it was Burton who walked off to a standing ovation, knowing their result was totally deserved, leaving legendary wine buff Ferguson to exit the once home of beer brewing nursing a pretty severe hangover.
When the stadium announcement offered ticket details for a potential Old Trafford replay 15 minutes before kick-off, even the home fans in a capacity crowd offered a chortle.
No-one was laughing when the information was repeated during the interval though, least of all the United fans who demanded 'Fergie sort it out' as the teams disappeared back down the tunnel.
It was at their end that Bardsley had twice been called on to blast the ball of the goalline, both following routine corners which Burton heads had climbed highest to reach.
Facing a side 104 places below their illustrious visitors, Burton were rated no better than 25-1 chances, odds roughly similar to those being quoted against fellow Conference outfit Exeter when they faced United at the same stage of the competition last year.
Ferguson declared that embarrassing goalless draw at Old Trafford as the most disappointing FA Cup experience he had ever had as Red Devils chief.
Clough thought the memories of that miserable afternoon would count against his team but, on a pitch cleared of sand yet still badly rutted, United soon found themselves on the back foot.
Shaun Harrard had particular reason to feel pleased with himself as he gave the visitors' defence the runaround.
Had it not been for Wes Brown, United could have suffered but time and again the England star was forced to race back and made vital interceptions and blocks.
It took the visitors 38 minutes to force their first corner and it almost brought them a goal as Louis Saha met Jones' set-piece with a low diving header which flashed just wide.
On his first senior start since May 2004, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was named captain, but the Norwegian made little impression in the wide right berth he had been handed when Park Ji-sung pulled out after injuring himself in the warm-up.
Solskjaer was involved in the build-up to United's two most notable attacking though, finding Bardsley on both occasions.
The first time, Bardsley cut a cross back for Giuseppe Rossi, who meekly missed his kick. On the second, the young full-back took the responsibility himself, lashing a volley which flashed over Burton's goal.
It was a similar effort to the one Harrad had let fly with minutes earlier, forcing Tim Howard into a decent save.
Howard also produced a low stop to deny Chris Hall, although there was little he could have done to keep out the two Burton headers Bardsley cleared.
Ferguson opted not to make any changes at the interval but after another 13 disappointing minutes which brought just a single decent opportunity, which Kieran Richardson missed after he had been sent through by Mikael Silvestre, the United boss called for the calvary.
The response was almost immediate as Rooney let fly with a spectacular overhead kick, then Ronaldo set up Saha, whose header was ruled out for offside.
Saha tumbled under pressure from the excellent Darren Tinson as he tried to reach another Ronaldo pass, then Rooney forced two stops out of Deeney as Burton began to creak.
But with Tinson and Ryan Austin outstanding at the heart of the home defence, the Brewers survived. Keith Gilroy nearly won it for them at the end too with a deflected effort which forced Howard to scramble across his goal.

If we don't win the replay by at least 3 goals I will eat my sock(left one)

You read something in my post that wasn't there. I said fit birds.
I thought it was sick to mention children.
Spoony said:
Correct Spoony you did not mention children, I did, and I mentioned them because most of the young girls being offered to anyone with enough money in Thailand are children. I did not mean that you had anything to do with it and I certainly hope it did not appear like that.
How on earth did this matchday thread turn into a thread about child prostitution?!
There must be some accusations of racism in there.Im red2 said:
