My team beat 3rd placed Oxford at their own place. http://accringtonstanley.co.uk/2016/02/oxford-stanley/ If we can win by 3 clear goals on Tuesday we'll leap frog Oxford to move into an automatic promotion spot!
More importantly we've reached 52 points which according to our manager should be enough to keep us in the Football League,10 years after we returned to the league.

As a West Ham fan I'd rather face a demoralised and under performing Man U in the next round than a lower league side who are more than up for it.
Sorry Shrews fans.

Payet was red hot yesterday - I can picture him in a nice blue shirt. What a class act he is.

Watched up to half-time and have knocked it on the head. Pretty boring spectacle tbh.
Shrewsbury look to be easily contained. Thought they might've given full beans from the off and then defend, defend, defend.
Can't see them getting anything from this.

Well we were pretty much played off the park by Utd. Didn't get in their faces enough, sat too deep, poor on the ball, pretty much like our performances in League 1 (when it really matters)!! Still good to see the pace and movement of a Premiership team and I hope we at least learnt a bit from watching Juan Mata run the show.
Made a bit of cash but now back to the reality and importance of retaining league 1 status

Im a Hull City fan and like the rest of Hull am continually surprised and delighted by their success. It seems like our fairy tale just goes on and on. You never know what they are going to do next.

As I only watched until half time I can't comment on the overall performance but I can't imagine that the second half was much different to the second half.
As ever the big thrill of the FA, usually at least until the last stages, is rooting for the underdog. So, I would've loved you to win.
My disappointment was that Shrewsbury didn't seem to want the win. Would've been better to at least try and take the game to MUFC and go down trying rather than sit back and defend deep. No way did they have players fast enough to counter attack United on the break. Maybe would've been better to play a long ball game and take your chances?
Not as bad as Pellegrini's disgusting team selection yesterday though - at least you put a decent team out.

It used to involve the phrase 'typical City' and a pummelling by Macclesfield on a Tuesday night in January. But I'm not sure what that is anymore with the recent prolonged period of good football and success.
