Yesterday is a perfect example of why I worry about playing Mourinho's united in this semi final - he always seems to finds a way when it matters...
I want this cup so badly!!

The Portuguese manager said "some of the guys" that played against West Brom "don't have a place" in the team for the semi-final at Wembley.
He added the Bournemouth match at Vitality Stadium was "an opportunity for some people to play and to try to get a place in the team for Spurs".
When asked to clarify if he meant those who performed badly against the Baggies will now not face Spurs, Mourinho said: "Yeah.
"What is the criteria for a manager to choose a team?
"I only know one criteria: is the way you play.
"Or do you want me to go for the price they cost, or their salary, or their beautiful face? The only way is to go with performance."
Try telling that to TFC Jose...
One player I hope does play is Young. Despite having a really good season, I think he will have it in his head that it will be his mission to wind Dele up.....but Dele is the clever one where as Young is a genuine loon. Can see him getting sent off in this game.
