What did I say about counting you chickens before they were hatched. Was looking forward to North End v Rovers, now we will have to do with Rochdale

We have had a easy Worthington Cup Draw so far, Luton (3-0), Oxford (3-0) and Preston (5-0). But now we got Liverpool in the Quarters.

Blackburn are a good team, but I think that we can beat them as it's at our ground. It would of been good to have a lower team.

can you honestly see man utd beating portsmouth well i suppose your blinded by passion.

Crap draw for me as well out of all the teams bellow us we had to draw Blackburn. I can still see us winning 2 - 0 but we just don't seem to have any luck in the draws anymore.

Crap draw from my point of view.

Gillingham vs The Owls

I went to Gillingham a few weeks ago, didnt fancy going back any time soon.

Agreed. I think Fergie is keeping in the race for the worthington cup just in case we don't get anything else in terms of silverware this season! And he's been justified in doing so til now, as Utds start to the season was very poor.

But now Utd are starting to get the right results, perhaps he will risk a few of the youths to start the game, with a strong presence of the first team on the bench *just in case*.
