Sold less the 4k tickets for the Wednesday FA Cup game

Will be playing that game at a loss.

 

[Tummy]

Does no-one care about the FA Cup anymore?

5k at Wigan
11k at Bolton
25k at Villa (2 PL sides)
11k at Pompey
8k at Sheff Wed
15k at Stoke

Some terrible attendances today, I realise cup tickets aren't always included in season tickets but that doesn't mean you can't go! It seems the FA Cup may end up like the League Cup. Anyone have any ideas to spice it up again? Place in the CL? Or is it unfair to to get into the CL after 6(?) games?

8k is double what I'd heard.

Given our recent run of form, I'm happy to of got anyone through the gates.

Tummy...im really happy for you, i'mma let you finish, but please state in your opening post which matches are live on tv.. thank you, thank you, thank you

Effort.

BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Old Trafford: "Manchester United make seven changes from the team that thumped Wigan 5-0 on Wednesday. Thomas Kuszczak is still in goal and Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney are joined up front by Danny Welbeck. Nemanja Vidic keeps his place in defence, with Jonny Evans, Gary Neville and Fabio Da Silva coming in. Gabriel Obertan, Darron Gibson and Anderson form a new-look midfield. Leeds United make two changes from the side that thumped Stockport 4-2 on Monday, with Jason Crowe replacing the suspended Leigh Bromby at the back and Jonathan Howson preferred to Robert Snodgrass in midfield."

It's on ITV (along with their ****ing awful commentry)

 

[Tummy]

Nevs is well past it.

Had to be Beckford.

 

[Tummy]

Man United just look a little off the pace.

 

[Tummy]

what a clearance from Crow!

 

[Tummy]

Gibb got the ball with that tackle nothing wrong with it.

Thought the Leeds player was going to get a yellow for been mouthy.

 

[Tummy]

Anderson will score a cataclysmic goal.

It will be epic.

 

[Tummy]

Gibson is not great at football

He's not done much wrong so far?

Put in a brilliant ball for Rooney to miss.

 

[Tummy]

Nevs has been quite shocking so far.

 

[Tummy]

Leeds like to play rough, but don't like it when teams play rough back

 

[Tummy]

It's a stereotype that we lost a long time ago, look at our disciplinary record this season, and the previous ones, been second to none.

You're not exactly playing nicely in this game though

 

[Tummy]

Welbeck isn't doing much, making the wrong decisions and has gifted the ball away a fair few times.

 

[Tummy]

What have we actually done wrong? Playing a physical, footballing game. Stop being pussies

You don't play football by kicking people

Only a true Leeds fan would say "were been physical"

Hope you get promoted and I hope Wednesday stay up Can't wait to play you lot

 

[Tummy]

ITV are so ****

 

[Tummy]

Nani are you okay? are you okay Nani?

 

[Tummy]

Perhaps we should add a rule to Sports Arena then, don't make your first post related to a Utd defeat.

Here is a better rule.

"don't be a ****"

Leeds were the better side, Looked to me like United didn't have their heart and soul in the game. Some poor performances as well.

West Ham played well
