Would you want united in the final?

After dismally losing the league to them it would be absolutely devastating if they beat us in the final to do the double. Doesn't bare thinking about. However it would be fantastic to beat them in 'the biggest cup final for years'.

I will say it's a no from me, I'll be a bag of nerves til the final whistle!
 
I would not want to play them at any point along the way to be honest and hope someone else knocks them out.

There seems an inevitability that we will meet them though.

The fact is we have not played as well as last season by a long way and having watched them in Madrid you have to admire the way Bacon has the likes of Evans, Wellbeck and Jones all playing at 200%. They are mentally stronger by a mile and proof of this is them having what we would regard as inferior players to ours performing out of their skin.

Wellback and Evans were a fifth of a very average Sunderland side a few years ago. Last week they are running the show in the Bernbaeu!!

Did you watch the game? They got battered for 70 minutes before Jose got cold feet and decided to win in the 2nd leg.

I did. RM won't be winning anything if they defend like they did in the Bernabeau.

They both has chances and the Rags should have nicked it. A performance they have perfected over the years.
 
Yes think we would all be sick with nerves but this would be the perfect way to achieve redemption for what has so far been a somewhat disappointing season

Quick question though- would the final be played before or after the final day of PL fixtures?

Before. It's on 11th May at 17:30.
 
Bet my bottom dollar we will play them at some stage either in the semi or the final. I hope not, I'd rather play Millwall, at least it will be less nerve racking on the pitch. Off it that's another matter, but there again the Rags are seriously pissed with us so I don't suppose it will all be sweatness and light off it against them either!!
Ideal situation is Boro in the semi and Blackburn in the finaL, please oh God, let it be.......We can then just enjoy it.........
 
100% yes. people have forgotten how lucky they were in that game and how many chances we missed. A big open pitch, with Kun, Yaya and Vincent all playing, would have preferred them at home in the next round, but its not a guarantee that they will get past Chelski.
