Tottenham, Liverpool and now Everton. What a draw. If we don't win the cup after facing this sort of opposition, what a disappointment it will be.

Very annoying looking at the draws the other teams have.

BBC Sport - Wayne Rooney: Man Utd striker agrees new ?300k per week deal

As a player he definitely doesnt deserve this but as a brand name probably does. Him staying might help us attract other world class players too.

^ Maybe he did not deserve such a big contract, but he definitely deserves to stay at the club. He has been there for the club time and again, and as you say his brand value will certainly work in favor of the club.

And, this is why Arsenal were never favourites to win the title despite being on top for all this while.

no that was because there is a media conspiracy against them or people don't like the french or something.

We're certainly out of the title race now looking at the fixtures to come, our only hope is taking points off Man City and Chelsea. After our early season form against the big teams, it doesn't take a genius to realise we'll be losing a lot of our next games. I predict a crumble akin to 07/08.

Liverpool are suddenly emerging as having a really good chance as well.

Off to the emirates for the quarter final next weekend too. If I get there and it's Naismith up front with osman just off him again i'm going straight home.

It all comes down to how well they play at the back. Their defensive line-up has looked vulnerable much of the season.

Benteke you beauty. Love watching us hit teams on the counter-attack, it's breath-taking.

We were all over you for the first third of the game, then Benteke scored and we fell apart. Bloody typical.

Really weird how you just ceased to resist us after the first goal. But Hughton shouldn't be got rid of, think he's the only man that can keep you up right now. Remarkable though, how it changed from boos and hisses, to the whole stadium erupting in the space of two minutes. Never seen anything like it.

Well counter-attacking is kind of all you can actually do, so it's a good job you're good at it.

U.S. international Stuart Holden suffers injury in long-awaited comeback game for Bolton Wanderers | ProSoccerTalk

Absolutely gutted for him, such a talented footballer and if he didn't suffer the horrific knee injury against United 3 years ago then I have no doubt that he would be playing for one of the top six clubs in the prem.

Hopefully it's not as bad as first feared.
