Man Utd (a) - FA Cup Pre-Match Chat

Manchester Utd 2-3 Leicester City

 

2 nil down and Monga and Evans brace

[ClaphamFox]

I live in Oxfordshire and am, naturally, surrounded by Man Utd-supporting neighbours. I’m heading to the pub with five of them tonight. All I’m asking is for something other than total humiliation. Can we at least try to give them a game…?

Should be fine, they didn't try at all last week, so they should be full of running

Another game more shooting blanks 3-0 yanited.

I don't bet regularly (you'll see why below) – maybe a couple of times a year but today I've made a couple of bets in the hope that it might stop me falling asleep during the game and maybe even get me to the end of it without the total feeling of dismay like many recent performances...

 

Leicester HT Man Utd FT 24-1  – 15 quid.

 

Man Utd HT Leicester FT 64-1 – a tenner.

 

I haven't gone for Man Utd HT and Man Utd FT because the odds were unsurprisingly rubbish and I'm on a £25 self imposed budget – but that's probably where the small gain smart money goes!

Are those the odds or the predicted scoreline?

This is the game to try a different formation and players as what we are doing in the prem is just not working

Do we know how many we're taking up there tonight?

As in fans. To Old Trafford.

Not how many painful goals we'll manage to concede. 

I looked this morning and there were still tickets available from the 1300. Not many but it's a statement. Considering the full allocation was 3400 and they struggled to sell 1300.

I'd rather we get battered today and beat them in a few weeks in the league. Ruud masterclass. 

[FrankieADZ]

Monga starting tonight do we know?

[adam]

If he plays the same back 4 he did against Everton he should be sacked before kick off. Really hoping he tries something different tonight. A great opportunity to try a back 3 with wing backs.

Thanks pal.

That is a statement. I'd never castigate anyone for going – and I obviously still hope we'll get a result and go through (although fat chance) – but I'm (rightly or wrongly) glad the numbers are low. 

[Foxdiamond]

Anything less than a three goals or more loss will be a surprise

I went to the 'your 90 minutes' last night and this came up (quite understandably, although a little off topic) he said they'd sold 1200.

 

Side note: I explained that I'm boycotting it and Jim agreed, stating that he has to run the coaches but he has refused to buy a ticket and will be sat in the car park.

Only way to watch us these days is to be suitably anesthetised - I'm starting in a minute - I've been saving a rather nice bottle of Tequila for tonights game 

 

I'm just a bit worried about my tele when the 4th goes in - I've just bought it and it's a Sony beauty
