O'm worrying already....what I'll be like on Wed evening I dread to think.

You’ll feel better day of.

If we are winning by 1 goal, don't expect the game to finish before midnight.

Looking forward to smashing them 5-4, after they get two nonpenalties and two clearly offside goals.

Where have I been demanding that?

Your heartless responses, especially seemingly specifically directed at me for merely trying to get out the word for a request for a minutes applause for someone I knew taken far too young, makes no sense.

You don’t have to clap.

I have no personal beef with you SB. I'll address your other points later as the breadknife is demanding her tea now. You could check out a thread I started a fee weeks ago on this very subject if you can be arsed. Once again mate, nowt personal.

Getting a bit twitchy myself.

Who’s got more chance of rinsing zinchecnko

Bernardo or mahrez ??

We know he’s slow and can’t defend . Shame Phil’s not match fit

Bernie every day of the week for me.

(1) Mahrez cannot defend to save his life - Bernie can
(2) With Mahrez, you never know whether he will turn up. No such concerns with Bernie.

We have to approach this and every other game we have for the rest of the season in the same way. Strongest 11 available, hard work, laser focus, quick transitions and take our chances when we create them.

We turn up and play our game in the way we can and we will have nothing to worry about. Arsenal seem to be feeling the pressure, but they're still a good team. The worst thing we can do is let them get into the game.

We're a better team. We have scored more and conceded less this season and we're purring. We've also beaten them twice this season including at their place when they were in great form.

Also, they are an excellent attacking team and a pretty average defensive one. That should shape our tactics - keep it in their half with high intensity, with plenty of movement and fast passing, and they will not cope.

Referee: Michael Oliver
Assistants: Stuart Burt, lan Hussin
Fourth official: Craig Pawson
VAR: David Coote
Assistant VAR: Eddie Smart

Coote is a ****, a bigger worry than Oliver

That Jesus fella is pretty good.

He certainly has an immaculate touch...

Right, now the FA Cup stuff is calming down, im starting to focus on this now.

A win is a must for me, I think it will damage them behind repair. They’ll have been worrying about this game since Friday night at about 22.00 while we’ve had two days of distractions with our own game and then the News of getting United for a first ever Manchester derby final… we will roll into this one on a high.

Can’t wait, come on you Blues!

That Jesus fella is pretty good.

When he isn't emulating Saka and Martinelli,by constantly throwing himself to the ground.

They are the beginnings of a trio to match the rats of Trafford.
