Mental block or not, they are a shadow of themselves and the win against City would have helped, ok, it went backwards against Spurs but for 45 mins it wasn't so there's no reason to fear them.
Whilst I agree with you in theory, I would counter with two things, mate;

1. They were a shadow of themselves last season too...

2. I don't fear them. I fear us. :|
Can't argue with that tbh, said on another forum that there is more danger of us beating ourselves than them beating us.

Now would be the perfect time to buck the trend though, stop them covering up their season with a Cup Final and keep them out of a CL spot which they need, perfect time to be beating them when they are vulnerable, just hope for once that they don't bottle it.

I think we can and probably should beat them but if you offered me a replay now at the Emirates, I would take it

I'm not particularly worried about them. This is the worst United side I've ever seen play. Not sure how they are managing results. We have to win a game like this, not just in the context of the cup, but to get the hoodoo off. Could actually see this go to a replay.

Sorry, :oops: you wouldn't like it over there anyway, some tit that got banned from here infects it.

When you say "They" do you mean "We" or "Them"? :? :? :?

They'll likely move it to Sunday seeing as it's the premier tie.

So far it looks like BBC's first picks are being played on friday/monday evenings.

3rd round: wimbledon vs liverpool was Monday 7.55 kick off
4th round: cambridge vs manchester united Friday 7.45 kick off
5th round: preston vs manchester united monday 7.45 kick off

I really really hope it isnt monday night but knowing tv these days it probably will be

Strong possiblity the game could be on the Monday night, due to an EDL March on the Saturday. Had this information passed from friends of friends of a friend at Arsenal. The clubs are aware and the old bill hardly want 9000 Arsenal fans turning up in the city on the same day.
