I have a feeling Owen will start today.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Nah. I expect Berbatov and Hernandez but if it's not them 2 then I reckon we'll go 5 in midfield.
Form goes out the window in a derby. Expect a tight game.
Some FA tard probably pointed out there was no penalty involved so they couldn't be called penalty kicks, just kicks from the penalty mark.
FA semantics, we should be familiar with them by now, that's how we always get caught breaching rules that clearly don't exist.
Bricking it.
She wore, she wore, she wore a scarlet ribbon...
As it draws near feeling confident.3-1 United
She wore a scarlet ribbon in the merry month of May!
Very confident, which is usually a bad omen.
It'll be Berbatov on his own or with Hernandez I feel, with Owen on the bench for stoppage time purposes if necessary. I don't think Fergie would risk him from the start against City with virtually no minutes behind him (through no real fault of his own though, of course).
Has this been done?
Road to the final:
United: Liverpool, Southampton, Crawley, Arsenal, Man City
City: Leicester (needed replay), Notts County (needed replay), Aston Villa, Reading, Man United
Stoke: Cardiff (needed replay), Wolves, Brighton, West Ham, Bolton
Bolton: York, Wigan (needed replay), Fulham, Birmingham, Stoke
We'd be very deserving finalists, in other words. Or for those who are nervous of the jinx: We are very deserving semifinalists.

If I remember correctly, we were drawn Premier League teams round after round for a couple years running. 06/07/08 I think?!
City have played one Prem side...
And Houllier decided he wasn't going to put out a decent team in that game!
It was 06/07 and 07/08. 10 out of 10 opponents from PL.
I'd like to see Park today, I'm still blown away by his performance against Chelsea; he was immense.
Would be great to win the trophy this season, after beating Liverpool, Arsenal and City.
Ffs slowest day ever....
I agree, but if i recall in our Treble year we faced Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Fulham, Chelsea, Arsenal and then Newcastle in the final.
Fulham were the only non PL team we faced that campaign and they were promoted as runaway champions of then Division 2 that same year and were again promoted to the PL the season after under Keegan. So at the time they were arguably one of the better and most in form teams outside the PL anyway.
Yup.
Was listening to 5-live earlier, they were talking about Shitty beating Ipswich in the '81 semi-final and that they have a very good record record in semi-finals, winning 8 of 10.
This left me slightly nervous...
Then Motty went on to mention that they haven't been any where near a semi final since then...

I'm looking forward to this a bit, your league game at Eastlands was pathethic earlier in the year as both sides were fairly content with not losing, but now that a draw is off the table I want to see how Man City play offensively.

Was it last year you were in the carling cup semis?
Yup. 1-2 and 3-1.
They might play Balotelli and Dzeko but doubt they will be attacking more than usual.
Wonder if Nev's commentating on this match today.
he'll probably make Paddy sound like a neutral.
Easy ride for City to the semis
I feel great confidence.
Most important thing is 3 points.
hehe,nice one!
He meant for West brom.

That was 5 years before i was born. And only 5 years after they won their last trophy. That's a long time ago. Not sure how it's relevant today.
There was a girl from Stockport;
Her name was Hazel Grove;
She started supporting City;
When she was eight years old;
She's been to nearly every match;
She's only missed a few;
She's never seen them win a cup;
And now she's 42!
