the thing is id rather play united too be honest. I just think Liverpool have something over on us and i wouldnt fancy going to Anfield. I just cant see both manchester teams playing in the semi again. I would absolutly love it if Palace got a result tonight got some good young lads there now if United play the young team the papers are saying it could be intresting.

The BBC has Hansen who's biased. Lawro tries to be biased but he can't help but be a bitter pr*ck. Thommo's on Sky for laughs but that's about it. You know more than anybody that the media darlings are United. I'll never get over Craig Burley shrieking on ESPN/Setanta sports "It's a victory for football!!!!!!" when Vidic scored that late goal against Sunderland a few years back. Every live game on ITV is spent talking about United and their CL final defeats, and every decent side that plays on Sky end up listening to commentators harping on about United. When you started the season so well, the media went into an instant climax, they were so excited. A few shoddy results later and suddenly the world's against ya!

IMO, the media bias goes like this: United, Chelsea, Citeh, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal, the rest. The amount of grief Suarez is currently getting puts us that low, you'd honestly think he's the first diver the league has seen.

I think you'll find most United fans hate Burley with a passion, it's interesting how different supporters view different pundits, I've heard Liverpool fans accuse Alan Greene of being pro United.

No surprise....Most over-rated boss in the Premier League, he has somehow managed to wing his way between various jobs, only ever being sacked by Huddersfield (!!).

I'm not sure of the actual figures involved, but his massive turnover of players at Sunderland have been the prime reason for their terrible results....Absolutely zero ability to build a solid squad, the sad thing is, the clown will inevitably walk into another position within months, it shows how ridiculous a business football is.

Steve 'he's got a big fat head' Bruce been sacked. Mark Hughes, Martin O'Neil and Rafa Benitez are the ones doing the rounds.

Just seen the Darren Ambrose goal, absolute beauty.

So it's

Man Citeh v Liverpool
Palace v Cardiff

Just like everyone thought it would be

United should really refund their fans after that. I'd love to know if Ferguson seriously thought they would win that game, if he did the arrogance is unbelievable.

United's reserves and youth teams are obviously not packed with wonderfully talented kids like the Arsenal's and Chelsea's of this world. Pogba and Morrison look reasonable prospects but are nowhere near ready. Macheda looks like his initial flurry in the Premier League was just a fluke and Diouf is absolutely terrible, I struggle to understand why he's still at United. Same with the likes of Gibson.

Have City lost as we all know it's only their fans who go missing when their team loses.
