Is that Joanna Lumley in goal for Boro ?
Her nephew.
Boro haven't played particularly well. For Man U to fail to beat them would be a very poor result.
MU will win in extra time. Usually the case in this kind of situation.
I have £5 on Ronaldo to score. I think that pressure was too much for him tonight.
Man U are absolutely woeful. Ole was doing a better job than Ralf currently is.

Players just going through the motions
The lesser team usually concedes pretty early into ET now
Phil Jones on for Varanne. Might even be an imrovement. 
With all these chances Man U have made, How on earth has this game gone to extra time... Funny old game.
Expect United to sort this mob out.. Without much more of a problem...

Pains me to say it but United looked a far better team with Pogba on the pitch.
This is a coin toss, imo.

100%. We always do when he is fresh and trying. Problem is those times are quite infrequent.

Someone lumped on at 1.26 which I took on. It's not a coin toss is it, but it's defo too short.
20s Boro in ET nice bet too. Can see them scoring on the counter and knicking it.
no food, and an extra 30 minutes of dross. Serves 'em right.

Poor display by these over-paid Utd players. Not one of them giving 100 %, imo. They might still get through, but you would think the FA Cup would be more important to them.
We all know how ridiculously bad De Gea is at saving penalties.

why would it be important to them? They've got mansions and wags to get home to!
Well United should be used to taking pens..... they get plenty
two **** pens from Boro so far
a better keeper would have saved them
a better keeper would have saved them

lots of sad fans on the flights back to Dublin and Oslo tonight 
Ralf going to be regretting dropping Lingard and Greenwood.
Lame surrender by Man Utd, you coud tell they didn't want it enough.
When you saw Elanga step forward, all the keeper had to do was stand still and there was only going to be one outcome
Boro wanted it more but Utd clearly should have won. Missed pens, missed openers, the handball goal. It was unlucky even though they played like their wags had their dinner ready and they wanted to get home.
I guess that proves that Elanga should definitely play for England and not Sweden
For you Man Utd fans, if you’re watching on ITV+1…………you’re still in the FA Cup!

Hope I’m wrong but he doesn’t look prem level never mind international
Glad the bs got knocked out after that. Don’t deserve to go through after all punters done their bollocks on that crap team.
Could see boro playing more to wilders style of play.
They should continue to improve, he looks a decent
manager.
Didn't have much cutting edge up top, but man utd
spurned their chances.
Hey ho

what keano says in a nutshell -virtually every game he's talking about is "why arent these players just like me"
Chelsea not taking any risks....
Chelsea: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Sarr; Kovacic, Jorginho; Ziyech, Mount, Hudson-Odoi; Lukaku.
Plymouth Argyle: Cooper; Wilson, Scarr, Gillesphey; Edwards, Camara, Houghton, Mayor, Grant; Jephcott, Garrick.

Should be a straight forward any other home win,

i'm hoping chelsea bring lukaku on for the 2nd half.
knot-he's a multi dimensional player he'll have you know
Chelsea & West Ham not winning in 90 minutes, there must be literally 10's of thousands of accas on the floor.
Lukaku is some donkey
Poor Marina is out of her depth imho. Her recruitment is terrible.

Palace at home to Stoke Sparrow and I'm on at double carpet.
You never know, stranger things have happened at sea as the fella once said.

Interesting origin of Double-Carpet : (I had to look it up)
In the heyday of the on-course betting ring, the job of the tic-tac was to convey information to his, or her, bookmaker, by means of a series of coded arm movements. Odds of 33/1 were conveyed by crossing the arms and placing the hands flat on the chest. Verbally, odds of 33/1 were and, in some cases, still are, called out as ‘double carpet’, which, like the arm movements, was intended to keep the information secret from anyone not ‘in the know’.
Betting ring vernacular often draws on sayings and slang including, but not limited to, backslang and Cockney rhyming slang, for its inspiration and ‘double carpet’ is no exception. In criminal, or prison, slang dating from the nineteenth century, the term ‘carpet stretch’ meant three months’ imprisonment; three months was reputedly the length of time required by an inmate to to weave a carpet or mat for his cell in the prison workshop. Thus, in the betting ring, odds of 3/1 became known as ‘carpet’ and, naturally enough, odds of 33/1 became known as ‘double carpet’.

Yes I knew that T.L. I used to watch the tic tacs at Catford when I was a lad in the mid 70's and picked most of it up. It was part of serving my apprenticeship I suppose!
Cheers Sparrow, on a going day we can play some reasonable football and a cup run would be good for us. Here's hoping anyway.

not sure why city are 11/5 for the outright winner.
they are away to peterborough in the next round which should be a walk in the park. that takes them to last 8 and will defo shorten. only teams left in my book that can beat them is liverpool and chelsea(slim chance),
so 11/5 looks a cracking bet
hope you land your bet slippy provided its not at the cost of liverpool
