So, Moyes drops Rio and Vidic. Not sure if I trust Jones and Smailing in the middle.
Of course, I don't trust the lot of them!
Morning, UWS - you beat me to the punch. Just as I was posting a really rude picture of Jack Wilshere's bum, you got in there ahead of the post. I've deleted my offense "Arsing" thread and am joining you.
Good morning UWS. I'm watching both at the same time!
Good morning Bob. Looks to be a busy morning.
I don't trust any of them either.
Tough choice of match this morning but I'm going with the FA Cup 5th rounder. Sorry, mate - that's the bigger match.
Good to see Ol' Monkey Head in the studio with Lee Dixon on the Sky coverage of the Cup tie.
A United win will move them up to an EL spot

Morning, MUR - how are you, mate?
Huge week for the Arsenal. Following today's 5th Rounder, they go to Bayern in mid-week and then have the North London Derby at the weekend. Cor!
I am doing well. Thank you. I am delighted to be on Spring Break.
It's actually a quarterfinal. Everton went out at this stage last season when Roberto Martinez was the opposing manager. This season Martinez is in charge of the Toffees and is the away manager and underdog . Another Cup win for Martinez?
So this is likely Arsenal's best chance of silverware this season. We're ready for kick-off. Everton get us underway.
They're off from the EM
Pardon me, MUR - you are correct. A semi-final berth on offer for the winners at the Em today. Big match for sure.
They're off from the Hawthorns.
Lovely. I'm looking forward to my Spring Break next weekend.
Gareth Barry is down for the count early doors.
Gareth Barry down early doors.
BLOODY HELL!! Hair Bear starting and horrible fashion as he concedes a stupid free kick, but thankfully, Raffa clears a poor free kick from Brunt.
Some decent Everton possession here.
I'm really surprised that Fellaini hasn't bedded in better at OT.
The baggies need a victor as much as United as they are unexpectedly in the thick of a relegation battle.
They are indeed. I was listening to a footie podcast that suggested that new boss Pepe Mel is already under scrutiny.
United with a horrible start as they cheaply concede possession two consecutive times just outside their box .
Everton will bring the big men up for this free kick.
United keep possession as a corner from Mata was headed away then Roon concedes possession.
Some restless noises already from the Arsenal faithful. They know that things tend to fall apart around this time of year.
The Gunners equally shaky in defense off the cross from Baines.
GOAL! Well, that will change the atmosphere - Ozil has scored!
GOAL !!! OZIL GIVES THE GUNNERS THE LEAD. GREAT FINISH.
Lovely combination between Caz and Ozil who passes it into the back of the net.
That will certainly improve Ozil's confidence who was even booed by German fans during their friendly with Chile in midweek.
Great one touch passing by Flamini to Arteta ,w ho found Caz and his great run and pass found Ozil ,who scored with a great finish
Oh - a drive by The Ox is parried away by Robles. Don't know this Everton keeper.
Much better atmosphere at the EM than the Hawthorns.
II am back from taking Matt to the SAT this morning to see that United are stinking it up but the Gunners take an early lead
Oh - great attack by Everton, with Mirallas pulling a great ball back but Sagna did well to put off Pienaar.
Nice cut and thrust to this match now.
Morning Boys
Annichabee breaks but the Untied defense stops them but Jones almost blows it!
Good morning UWS. a colleague emailed an article that the SAT is outdated and that the College Board changed the test due to competition from the ACT, not to help with college readiness.
Morning, UWS - welcome back!
Jan booked for intentional handball. Really stupid.
Jan gets a yellow.. i don't think it shroud have been
I have the United match not he telly and two links going on the computer with the Cup and SS
I heard that story - radical changes coming to the SAT.
I don't know John Stones either - big lad.
UNITED BREAK AT PACE!!
then slow it down!
The cup is on FS!. You can watch both matches if you have the PIP option.
I saw that too…Too late for Matt
He is taking it again to get a higher score and get more finical aid
John Stones was signed by Barnsley. He 's an England U-21 international and supposedly one for the future. A possible future England right back.I first saw him last summer on everton's tour of the US.
Oh - Ozil fed Gibbs whose shot worked Robles again.
United with another corner
Felani gets a header and it is sort of cleared off the line
When is he going to score.. he always scored from corners against us
Hair Bear had a header cleared off the line by Mulumbu off a corner from Roon.
Thanks for the usual excellent anoraking, MUR. Stones is certainly a physical presence for Everton.
It's been all United . They are lacking on the final ball.
Your missus is up early on FB, MUR.
Any time mate. He's played well whenever he's played. A steal from Barnsley.
Good to hear - a win against a poor West Brom side should do the morale some good.
Still not creating anything
Who do the Mighty Leeds have this weekend
She's in bed on her phone getting assistance from Jacquelyn. Misbehaving again?
Bolton at ER.
Useless from Roon.
Rooney is clueless
Just saw… hosting Bolton
Wazza the hell was he thinking?
Why did United pay him that money?
He was dire for England and he has been the same for United
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ALL THESE PLAYERS!!!!!!!
THEY ALL LOOK ATROCIOUS
Why didn't Carzola shoot first time
I just noticed that Timmy has been dropped in place of Robles, who was on Wigan's cup winning team last season.
Evra easily beaten
Cross was poor by Smailling still managed to make it look dangerous
Steady on, UWS - watching UWS is not good for your blood pressure.
The Cup match is the better match. It's dire stuff at the Hawthorns.
United players can't make a ten yard pass
Naughty by Flamini on Barkley
The Mighty Whites are hosting Bolton today. They're rubbish. We need three points.
It's tough to make a ten yard pass!
IF they possibly score today… I am not going to put in YESSS…. I am that fed up with them
RVP wins a cheap free kick off of Mulumbu.
Roon over the ball from a free kick far out… I'd have him no where near the ball
Mata chips it in.. comes to nothing
Poor free kick from Mata headed away then Evra offside. Pure rubbish
Almost half an hour in.. and it is same old story
Wow - you two are negative.
IF they score.
It's a really horrible match!
I am so glad Matt had the SAT this morning so he didn't have to go to a tournament outside of Boston this weekend. Tomorrow, they have a game at 8 a.m.. The hotel is 45 minutes away from the field AND the clocks jump forward tonight!
Rafa goes close at the back post… saved by Foster
I did capitalize IF
In reality, the match is at 7 AM tomorrow. An early start for you mate.
Me too. Great minds think alike.
Bob, it is not that they aren't winning. It is how they are playing
United's history demands that United go out and attack attack attack and try to win EVERY game
This side does none of that
I always hate "Spring Forward." It's bloody snowing here. And my back hurts....
I agree with both statements. DST is outdated and no longer needed. Agreed about United needing to attack.
Everton tie it up… Lukaku with the goal
GOAL !!! 1-1 AS IT WAS CHUNKED OVER THE LINE.
GOAL! Everton are level through new haircut boy Lukaku!
1-1!
Easy easy finish for Lukaku
A training routine gone horribly wrong for the Gunners as a poor short free kick was blocked and Barkley ran nearly the length of the pitch. He crossed , Mirallis slipped and the Chunk bundled home from close range.
Rafa goes down…free kick for United
RVP to score like at the Eithiad?
Ross Barkley showing his England form.
Oh - Joel is forced to make a good save from The Ox. Great match here.
Great block by Robles.
Goal… Jones heads it in… nice free kick nice header
Great delivery !
YESSSSSSSSS!!! PHIL JONES HEADS IN A FREE KICK FROM RVP. FOR ONCE, SOME QUALITY FROM UNITED.
I wasn't going to say yes, but I couldn't help meself. UWS will be disappointed.
I wasn't going to say yes, but I couldn't help meself. UWS will be disappointed.
Are you happier chappies now?
UWS will not be pleased that United are now in an EL spot.
BTW… I still raised my hand when the ball went in
I still love them to bits.. we're just going thru tough spell right now… I still love them
I am and United have been the better side.
An attempted chip by Jan is well over.
Ridgewell wins a corner off of Raffa.
A close call for United as Olsson headed on the corner from Brunt and Claudio Yacoub headed over from two yards out. Poor defending from United as the Baggies had two free headers.
You two can't help but get excited when United score, even if it is bloody Phil Jones.
Naughty by Hair Bear as he stamped on Yacoub's thigh and the scratch marks are there for all to see.
Caz has a volley deflected for a corner.
Just wide by Anichebe as he held off and outmuscled Jones.
Arsenal pressing for a second goal.
OH! How did the ref miss that? Handball by Foster in the D. Nothing called as Foster should have been off. An escape for the Baggies.
Two minutes of stoppage time at the EM.
Definite hand ball there by Foster
Two minutes as well at the Hawthorns.
RVP would have been in there
The linesman is a wanker!
Another stupid foul by Hair Bear.
The free kick is cleared and a foul is called against the Baggies as it's 1-1 at the half at the EM.
Half time
One up.. still not a brilliant display… not the United way
United one up at the half. A decent , but not great United performance. Ben Foster should have been sent off as he got away with one.
Half time at the Em - perfectly poised at 1-1. Great match so far.
BTW, the last few seasons under SAF, United weren't brilliant all the time but won
Becky said that was Jones's first league goal in three years.
That is true, UWS.
For once, a decent stat from FOX ,as they verified my statement about Barkley running the length of the pitch. It was an 88.6 yard run by Barkley that led to the Everton goal. Someone will be pleased while the lads in Alex are disappointed.
FLIPPIN' HECK ROBBUE MUSTOE! Are you serious? He said that Foster should not have been sent off because he said it was an accidental handball. Is he watching the same match we are?
Robbie Mustoe is a numpty.
Arsenal get us underway in the second half at Emirates.
The second half is underway in both matches. About 45 seconds later at the Hawthorns.
Back from the loo
An early United free kick. Similar position to the goal.RVP to take. This time it's headed away as that was a pathetic effort at a leap from Hair Bear.
Welcome back mate.
Fried eggs , bacon , and a croissant for brekkies.
Sounds delicious. Kate is making me something called a "Dutch baby." Hopefully there is no pickled herring involved.
Are either of you concentrating on the Cup match?
Who's on top
Now RVP is booked.
I'm going back and forth. a free kick to the Gunners. Headed away. Neither team creating anything in the second half.
I am; it's very even and a brilliant match so far. Lots of chances at either end.
Does Kate understand your footer nuttiness?
The Gunners now have a corner. it's headed away by the first man.
This United could very well find a way to blow this match
She's very tolerant of my footer obsession. Good sign of good things to come.
Another Gunners free kick and headed away again.
Well done Kate!
Bloody hell Rooney… absolutely rubbish
DROP HIM.. UNITED AND ENGLAND!
I don't want him to take up the center of the England attack if it means Sturridge has to go wide
If only one is picked… I'd pick Dan
Over by Barkley off a great ruin by the Chunk.
Over by Barkley off a great ruin by the Chunk.
Does she like to watch it?
Barkley should have hit the target there
Me too. Danny should be starting in Brazil.
Nail biting time in Alex and Columbus?
Why should Roon be an automatic choice?
He's not world class.
RVP dives in… is he going to go…. I think it will be just a talking too.. but stop being stupid..
It wasn't a foul actually!!!
RVP lucky. He's just been booked and is only lectured for a horrible trip on Steven Reid.
Kate has no interest at all in sports but she's promising to watch some World Cup footer if we have a party with friends over this summer.
Roon can be world class but he's out of sorts.
Even Carrick can't pass it any more.. A short pass was not on the ground and it put the team under pressure
Robles does well to turn around a shot from Caz.
A waste as a foul is called off the corner.
A waste as a foul is called off the corner.
I disagree… what has he shown to be world class?
He's always threatening to leave
He scores some goals without playing well
How about that bike against Citeh a couple of seasons back? Surely the best goal ever scored in the Prem, no?
Ridgewell blocks a shot from Hair Bear.
When is Felani or Mata going to score?
Gary Birtles all over again?
Useles effort by Rafa
He hasn't done that recently. Ancient histoire.
Would this quarterfinal go to a replay? Extra time and pens today?
Well in with the French, MUR - Arsene would be impressed.
Naughty by Mulumbu on Raffa as Sess is on for Reid.
Giroud in for Sanogo.
Replay
Only semis and Final go to ET and Pens
Ta, Bob. The cup tie would go to a replay.
BTW
Rtoon is a thug and not too intelligent
Chris Brunt down. That would be a huge loss for the Baggies.
Wellie on for RVP. The correct decision from Moyes as RVP as one decision away from an early bath.
Wellie on for RVP. The correct decision from Moyes as RVP as one decision away from an early bath.
I agree about Roon's intellect but he's got a superior footer brain. Kind of like Gazza - a footie savant.
Justin Fashanu scored a corker against Liverpool playing for Norwich
That Blackpool bloke scored in 70s
I've scored some crackers
All not world class
You are too world class, mate.
well stated. by UWS about Roon.
End to end stuff now at the Emirates. This has been an absorbing cup tie but the last thing either side needs is another fixture in a busy period.
Yes you are, UWS. Who was the bloke on Blackpool. Was that before I moved to England?
Goal
Roon scores a tap in
Nice cross by Rafa
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
ROON HEADS IN FROM TWO YARDS OUT FROM A GREAT CROSS BY RAFFA. GREAT ONE TOUCH PLAY BETWEEN ROON, MATA, AND RAFFA.
Nice cross by Rafa
Pen to the Gunners!
Penalty to the Arsenal! This could turn everything. Barry trips up The Ox. Dead cert pen.
Will it be Ozil again? No - it's Arteta.
