FA Cup 3rd Round - ManUre (A) Monday 10.1.22 7.55pm KO

[pooligan]

Last season it was Liverpool and we had to play our weakened Youth team against their full strength team and now it is United away  Chuck in Chelsea away in the League cup and you begin to wonder why we seem to have no luck at all in any of the cups these days

I would love us to go there and win. Properly exercise a good few demons from the past 25 years: especially that horror show last 15 minutes on 6 January 2002.

What an appalling collapse that was.

[Somniloquism]

Just realised it is the Battle of Albion as well this round.

Those 5 minutes knocked the stuffing out of us. I remember Gregory bringing on three subs with about 3 minutes remaining (took Merson off). It was just the worst.

If our name's on the Cup, we'll beat 'em, it's as simple as that.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Chico, still got that flag? If I can change my flights I'll take it in the Home End. They're a bunch of self-entitled, gloryhunting twats. Plastic PLC FC, everything I'm proud we're not.

[Martyn Smith]

Well we will get a good number of tickets given the capacity.

Of course it will be live on TV as well. I can't remember the last time a Man Utd FA cup tie was not televised.

I think there was one last season, they were at home to Barnsley or some other dull such. It had been the first one for about five seasons

[Martyn Smith]

Will be going with my Bluenose mrs to the Half A Ground to sit with about 10,000 other saps, half of whom will be wearing green

It’s Alex Alex Cropley’s flag. And still intact as far as I know.

[London Villan]

I thought there were more than this... depressing that most of them were at Villa Park.

I was at that 2002 one with the old man in the Holte. He kind of half went up when their 2nd one went in and I had to diffuse the situation developing around us. Thought we were going to get leathered at one point. Plus having to deal with the sight of all those scumbags swarming on from the lower Witton.

But then before that we had Fulham, Swansea and Peterborough and still couldn't scrape a win.

We lasted 5 minutes in one league game. Beckham scored, loads went up around us, our kid protested vociferously and ended up getting thrown out. We watched the rest of the defeat in the  Aston Hotel next door.

I think my moaning about it might have been my first post on here.

[Exeter 77]

I remember some self-entitled idiot calling 5Live because him and his daughter found themselves less than welcome after celebrating one of their goals while sitting on the Holte. Can't remember the game but what did he expect?

That evening was the catalyst to me giving up my Season Ticket after 25 years. The stupid KO time, a bloke getting a kicking from a load of mancs on Witton Lane, the horrible atmosphere in the ground and outside. None of my mates went so I was on my own and I thought to myself when I got home: "do I really want to go through this sort of thing on a Sunday evening?".
