'Other Boro stuff'

Come on Villa...

Spence looking really good Vs arsenal. Know there's attitude concerns but we have mismanaged this guy so badly, what a huge loss it's going to end up being for us.

Another feather in warnocks bum bag.

I'd prefer Man U.  Villa are doing well under Gerrard and are less likely to underestimate us.

Isn't having it at Old Trafford better financially?

Should be...though I suppose that depends how many home fans will turn up to see them against a Championship team.

Hopefully will be a decent payday for Boro at the very least.

Think we have a slim chance (at least 80/20 or maybe 70/30 at a stretch in Utd's favour) of pulling off an upset. But even with their problems, I think they will be too strong for us.

We might even finally get to see Ronaldo against the Ginger Messi. 😁

As bad as UTD are I don’t think they’re in danger of being related 😉

You know what he meant! 😂

Our cup runneth over!

Just hope we don't get runneth over in the Cup by the Utd juggernaut. 😉 Hope we at least make a decent game of it.

It'd be nice if Rangnick played a few of their kids, but with their current problems and Boro being just enough of a threat to take seriously, he'll probably go for a near full-strength team.

Honestly, I'm quite chuffed of getting a Prem team in the cup. United or Villa will be a good test for us. No shame on us to lose it but looking back at the City and United wins under Karanka, it feels like they were a big part of those seasons.

Man Utd season ticket holders are charged if they attend or not.

Massive assumption being made by a lot of posters. Man U are a long way from being a shoe in given their form

for me it's just a financial preference, actually expect Villa to do the job, if Utd play the same as against Wolves

Villa are a very good side and could turn Man U over...I expect Arsenal thought they were on a good thing last night Too

U23’s 1-0 up away to Villa at the moment. Callum Kavanagh peno 

Only I was flicking through FlashScore I wouldn’t have known they were even playing today. I’m glad @wilsoncgphas this on his agenda for the next MSF meeting. The coverage on the underage teams is abysmal from the club 

[smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490]

I wonder how close Kavanagh is to the first team. He seems to be quite the player at youth level and I think had a lot of interest prior to signing the new deal at the Boro.

I think that if any Prem team is taking the cup seriously at this stage, then we are in the category that they need to field a decent team against and not underestimate, more so after seeing what Forest did to Arsenal.
