Let’s have a poll how many times Mourinho will mention it

Good, they're scared. This is far more important than where the game is being played.

He really will. fudge him. We’ve had a great draw up until now and made hard work of it - last time we actually won something we bet red scum 5-1 in the semi and blue scum in the final, back when they were good enough to lose the CL on pens. We owned United last time we played them so this way we get to hurt Chelski even more by beating them in a final, IF they scrape past SCBC.

You're thinking of the 2009 League Cup Final. We've lost to them in the earlier rounds of the FA Cup a couple of times in the last decade as well though.

I was thinking of that last night, Ben Foster in goal for them wasn’t it?

To follow their logic, do they expect the final to be played away from Wembley if we make through?

My thoughts exactly.
In years gone by they wouldnt have cared, they would have fully expected to win regardless.
Now? Wheres the confidence? They are rattled...

I’m not!! People are already saying we should beat this Utd team. Not sure why we should? They have some excellent players and while supposedly poor, they sit second in the league having recently beaten Pool and Chelsea. Oh and did I mention Mourinho was the master of the one off game? Especially sides that take the game to his team. We will need some luck and our big players to turn up. Hope Alderweireld is match fit by then, we will need his defensive intelligence. I think we can beat them but it will take one hell of a performance, even if we do we will then face Chelsea in the final. Gonna have to win the Cup the hard way.

To be fair, we've had a pretty easy ride to the semis on paper. You're entitled to have to beat some of the best to win the cup. Plus they'd certainly all be saying we should beat Southampton if we'd drawn them, but we'd probably have set ourselves an equal task by fielding one of those "capable" sides instead of a best XI.

That was always going to be the case though, once you reach the semis. We would've been lucky beyond belief (throughout the draw) if we had gotten So'ton in the semi. If we can't beat United in the semi and Chelski in the final, then so be it - but if we do, the trophy will taste so much sweeter (I know why that 2008 league cup win tasted as good as it did).
I thought one of the better suggestions was that the FA should build a stadium up north to be used by any clubs wanting to redevelop their own ground, because Wembley was clearly built with us in mind.

Cannot understand the lack of perspective from those United fans. I’ll assume they follow football news generally, and I’m sure they would have known that the narrative at the start of the season was that we were going to struggle this year at Wembley. Why are they just ignoring it and making out we’ve got away with one all along?
I think any other club probably could have raised a serious objection to it if they wanted to, but the smaller clubs wouldn’t care and the big clubs would be only too happy to see us move to a ground that everyone thought we would struggle on. Only now that we’ve proven we aren’t as bad as everyone thought there is now supposedly an advantage. I just find that lack of perspective from them absolutely amazing.

we are unlikely to score again after 11 seconds and no way will united be as bad as they were.Anyway you look at it they will be favorites for the tie. We have to beat them and chelsea for cup.Last season the scum had to beat city and chelsea for the cup so we do need to stay positive but its 50 50 at best.

I think we need to take it one assumption at a time.
