FA Cup 6th round tie: United opponent still unknown!

Arsene Wenger was badly humiliated last season
once he was sent to the stands by the referee!

Arsenal manager, Arsenal Wenger's hypocrite quadruple dreams may all be shattered now as Arsenal MAY face Mancester United in the 6th round of the F.A. Cup! 

Wenger said "We want to go for every single competition, I have said that many times. How far will we go? I personally believe we can go in every competition to the end. But we can stop very quickly". 

The gunners managed a 1-1 draw against a spirited Leyton Orient side, thanks to a 88th minute equaliser by the substitute Tehoue. 


I believe Arsenal will definitely be out of the FA cup on 12th/13th March (when United play Arsenal) IF they manage to win the replay fixture at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal, who are currently sandwiched between the United and City in the premier league table at the 2nd place, are four points away from both.  


So Manchester United's 6th round FA Cup opponent still remains a mystery. A replay fixture will now have to be played at Emirates Stadium next week. We all expect Leyton to do the job there just like Everton did at Chelsea in the 4th Cup replay at Stamford Bridge. Even if Arsenal are through to the 6th round by defeating Leyton Orient, we are NOT scared of Arsenal. We only feel that Leyton Orient will give us a better game than Arsenal!! 


However, March will be a challenging month for United as they face Chelsea and Liverpool away within 6 days followed by Champions League action against Marseille at home on 15th March and finally ending with an easier fixture of Bolton at home on 19th of March. Gear up for an interesting football month of March! 
Keep your comments coming, share how you feel about the Red Devils' future fixtures!

Michael Owen faces another injury setback

Michael Owen is injured... AGAIN :|

The out-of-favour English international has been sent for scans to learn the extent of the injury, but he is almost certain to miss the interesting FA cup clash with Crawley town which he was expected to play partnered with Chicharito. I must say, Owen has some real bad luck!

Owen has already missed so many games this season due to a hamstring injury and this injury will definitely blow his chances for a new contract with United.

The 31-year old missed the remainder of the season after the Carling Cup final against Villa in February soon after scoring the first goal of the game which was later equalised by Abgonlahor. Eventually, Wayne Rooney won it for United with a brilliant headed goal to end the game 2-1. February and FA Cup are bad omens for Michael, it seems!

However, in Owen's absence, Chicharito will be given more chances.

But will Michael be offered a new contract at United?

FA Cup HD Highlights: Manchester United 1-0 Liverpool

United couldn't possibly have asked for a better start to the game after Agger's 29th second challenge on Berbatov resulted in a penalty which Giggs took comfortably to give United a lead in the first minute! In my opinion, it was a definite penalty as Berbatov was clearly fouled. Although Dimitar did fall a bit easily, the foul cannot be neglected.

33rd minute saw a horrible Gerrard tackle on Michael Carrick and Referee Howard Webb unleashed the Red card after taking his time. Perhaps the RED card decision showed Webb's affection for the Red Devils. Again, I think it was a straightforward red decision.
