Wahey!

Double bubble for you. You beat Arsenal with your 8th favourite team!

I think we might need a new manager.

That's Arsenal and Chelsea gone. We now have a slightly better chance of winning the cup!

Who am I kidding?

What? No, in Arsene we trust!

Today was Arsenal's first defeat in FA Cup in 756 days, and 16 matches. It means Blackburn Rovers remain the last team to win the FA Cup three years in a row - 130 years ago. So a good day for EWB all around...

On paper this is Man United's best chance of winning something...but West Ham is going to be a tough game. 

Palace are the weakest team on paper left in the cup.

Blimey, this was 15 years ago!

Jeez, this makes me feel old. I remember watching this live as a 7 year old, Barthez was a right nut job wasn't he?

Manchester United opt for just the three changes from their abject showing at Anfield - shambolic, as Paul Scholes put it. Michael Carrick comes in; Jesse Lingard and Ander Herrera also get a game. Two changes for West Ham and it's an attacking team to please those travelling hordes. Andy Caroll and Winston Reid start.

Man Utd XI: de Gea, Varela, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Fellaini, Rashford, Herrera, Lingard, Martial.
West Ham XI: Randolph, Antonio, Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Kouyate, Noble, Emenike, Lanzini, Payet, Carroll.

Rumour has it, Barthez's right arm is still raised. 

[Whisper]

YAY FELLAINI IS PLAYING.

Also, couldn't help but bloody love Barthez. I remember him coming off the bench in a pre-season (or maybe testimonial?) game to play on the left wing. He was genuinely decent.

[Kaney]

Can't win em all. Just wish we didn't wait for a mistake or till we're desperate before we start playing these days.

And that right there is why you play to the whistle.

Payet vs Fellaini... joy of joys.

[MDK]

Ooof, that could have been painful for Martial. 

[Lineker]

[Whisper]

Fellaini is shit.
