Nothing available on the website so going to assume that's the full 7k gone. Whopping effort for a school night if so!

Last three trips to Old Trafford have resulted in draws. What is needed to turn the draw to a win? Depsite our defensive problems those three draws only saw us concede two goals in total so looks like we're there on that front. Can we increase our attacking productivity without losing our defensive strength?

Gonna be an interesting one.

For somewhere near the away end to drink recommend the Greatstone Hotel. Basement bar with plenty of TV's showing sports and large upstairs courtyard.

Looking forward to this. West Ham United in a cup quarter final, sounds good to me.

Not according to the Fa website:

Antonio is one yellow away from suspension

I'd be happy with either of those teams, can't afford to rest that many, they will still play a strong side imo.

I would prefer us to be playing a 4 4 2 for this game.

Arfer at LB. Ayew and Fletcher up front.

Start Fernandes on the right.

Just ring a few changes to give them something to think about. Make their back line work for a living. Get in their faces.

Still, what do I know? I wanted Oxford at the back! :thup:

We need some more of that classic 'we're gonna get battered' pessimism if we're gonna get anything from this game

There's estimates between 4000 and 7000 given on here but seeing as we've only sold 2 blocks in the East Upper I reckon 4-5000.

Struggling to pick my team.

I have ten names (Adrian-Fernandes-Cresswell-Reid-Collins-Kouyate-Obiang-Ayew-Payet-Antonio)

I'm torn between Ogbonna-Noble-Lanzini-Zaza-Arbeloa for the eleventh.

I keep trying to second guess their team, though whatever I come up with is a talented front 4, a pedestrian central midfield, two good full backs, two poor centre halves.

Carroll definitely on the bench for the last 10-15 minutes.

Going by those last three games I'd say at least 90 mins with a capable striker on the pitch, decent refereeing and James Collins being off of the pitch

The last train back from what I could see was at around 21:15.. how on earth is that the last train back to London ?

I'm gutted to miss out and expect there must be lots more like me who cannot afford to stay over or spend 6 hours on a coach

I'm really annoyed
