The Football.....

Van Gaal is a fecking joke of a manager. He's been given a bag of money to improve the crumbling side that Moyes inherited yet he's done nowt with it.

He's dreadful at the mo' - you'd be hard pressed to work out where £150m has gone.

At least he put 4 at the back for Cambridge - was wondering whether he might've though his 'usual' 3 was OTT and he was going to try a revolutionary 2-4-4.

It's looking like giant killer Saturday!

As much as I hate getting beat....

Well done Bradford - you humbled us.

It's what makes the FA Cup so great!

Ain't it just!

Three big teams felled!

Take it you mean Chelsea, Spurs and City, but don't forget Southampton have gone as well. Of the teams doing well in the PL there is only Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham left. They must all be made up with results so far and must fancy their chances, it would be bizarre if they all went as well, although would make it very interesting.

Yes - I know S'Hampton are out but the two giant kills are Us and MCFC and Spuds is a big kill with S'hampton trailing in my book as far as newspaper headlines go.

Should make MOTD worth watching tonight - although I predict much criticism of the "big teams" rather than celebrating the wee teams, although this may depend on who the pundits are.

Yup - we'll tune in for some (well deserved) mud slinging.

Christ - can you imagine the sentimental we've got history gushathon The Scousers will wallow in if 'Our Stevie' lifts the cup on his birthday? (Where's the vomit icon when you need it most?)

Maybe I'll bugger off to Center Parks or somewhere equally off the beaten track for the weekend and give it all a miss.

Man Utd will be thinking that they got off lightly last night.

Your living the dream! Have a good 90 minutes.

Things that don't get reported by the wider media...

...Jose has been into the Bradford dressing room and congratulated every player (as is right) but...it's only tantrums and 'iffy' remarks that ever get air time.

As per previous posts in the thread...for some fans this weekend will be the one that shines brightly in memories whilst shivering on the terraces of Valley Parade in seasons past and future. Well done to them.
