Manchester United vs. Burton - Jan 18

[MarkieMark+]

Any thoughts on this FA Cup replay at Old Trafford?

This is Manchester United's anticipated line-up for today's match:

Howard
Bardsley
Vidic
Brown
Pique
Richardson
O'Shea
Fletcher
Rossi
Jones
Saha

This has to be the weakest line-up EVER to represent Manchester United. You can bet that the Burton Albion players have been dreaming of this game since the shock Draw in their previous match and will give everything they have.

I don't see this line-up for United dominating even though the match is at Old Trafford. What a disgrace they have become. After this game I think we will have a few more posts for joeyfitzclick's "Manchester United.....WTF" thread.

BURTON ALBION (+2.75) -103 over Manchester United (206/200) Pinnacle

yikes, I'm having second thoughts for some reason....maybe w/o Rooney & Ronaldo, United might actually put goals in the net, lol, we'll see, but I feel a little weird about this oneucking:

Yeah me too. Took Burton + 2.5 + 125.

Also Everton -1 - 130.

1 unit each

line up as expected is not near full strength but don't overestimate Burton here. They are woeful and the quality difference is still massive. Burton has already succeeded by bringing this cup tie to OT where they will get half the revenue from this game.

Dang, United jumps out to 2-0 lead, watching the game on Fox Soccer Channel, and haven't seen Burton really pose any threat to score, United may not even give up a goal here. :nopityA:

See, 5-0.......I felt it in my gut that it wasn't right, something told me that they would play better w/o the likes of their "stars", ......oh well

Yes, Burton got spanked today.:spanker:

Guess BA blew their wad in getting the draw for the replay. I don't bet soccer myself, but I can't fault those that took a position with them. Although BA got spanked tonight, these are the kinds of things that make tha FA Cup the greatest tournament in all of sports.
