Feels dirty to say but I'm actually happy with that. It's more fixture congestion for United at a time when players will be run into the ground to begin with, and we potentially stand to benefit if a club that is already in the European places wins the cup.
Absolutely. Especially as they had to work through all of extra time to get the win too. Fingers crossed it helps them to drop points at Brighton in midweek!

Plus Krul’s antics in the last round was the epitome of unsporting behaviour.

Extra time for United with their big guns playing and another fixture can only help us. The semis are when the 2nd last fixture is due so will the league games move to midweek before the final weekend? If so 2 league games after the semi is only positive for us

Yeah they move to the midweek so likely they'll play 3 games in 7/8 days. Hopefully we'll still be close to them or even ahead of them

Getting too tight to Fernandes and turned aside, I thought Godfrey had a solid game for Norwich.

Said last season that I liked the look of both Aarons and Lewis.

Lewis has some engine, can run all game. Certainly think his past athletic running background has helped his development.

Both better than our left backs!

No Ozil or Guendouzi in the scum squad. Suspect the latter is done there, think Arteta has had enough of him.
