United are the only football team mentioned in the Bible.

'But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.' (Isaiah 64:6.)

Not sure any City game will ever be as genuinely important as that game in terms of the consequences of not winning .
We do also have the matter of that little 'consolation prize' next week.
However, whilst they have scraped their way to the final (suspect decisions included,)we've battered almost everyone in our way playing a hugely enjoyable brand of exciting, attacking football and not conceded a goal.
There is still a feeling of huge injustice about that farcical goal at the swamp .We are all also sick of the constant media arse licking/cock sucking of that club and the unbelievably biased/unbalanced coverage.
This has really been ramped up this week and will only get worse if the unthinkable happens.
Do I think we'll ' really stuff em,' probably not, in truth, Cup Finals are normally quite tense and cagey (maybe perhaps not the Watford one!) You do get surprise results (Wigan against us and going back, Wimbledon against Liverpool spring to mind).
The rags aren't as bad as some like to think
but we really are a much, much better side than them and we really do need to show it today. .
Just do your job blue boys!!

Anybody know that sequence from Apollo 13? A fine film, which I’ve watched on a number of occasions, and that particular scene many times.
They’re getting suited up, before taking that lift way up to the capsule at the top of the stupendous Saturn rocket. They’re quietly chatting. But this beautiful, solemn music accompanies the scene.
That is exactly how I’m feeling now. Grave, solemn, a bit tense. Getting suited up for the ride up in the lift.

Where the fuck is everyone? It is a 9:30 kick off, yeah?

My rag neighbours have attached a mini united badge to their cats collar, and I caught it scrounging round my back garden this morning.

Decided to let the spaniel out, wearing her blue collar of course, to chase the vermin away. That's my girl.

Small victories, let's smash them today!

By 'that game' I obviously mean the Gillingham match in 1999.
1999! Did another team wearing red win a couple of things that year....can't see how the media have missed that, you really thought they could have mentioned it in the last few days!!
