  1. This is the 14th FA Cup tie between Chelsea and Manchester United. United have won eight and the Blues five – including the four most recent in 2007, 2013, 2017 and 2018.

    The Red Devils are Chelsea’s third-most regular opposition in the FA Cup behind Arsenal (20 matches) and Sheffield Wednesday (17), whom the Blues beat 3-0 last month to reach this stage.

    This will be the 16th Chelsea-Manchester United clash in this competition and sixth at Stamford Bridge; four of our past five FA Cup encounters away from Old Trafford have ended in 1-0 victory for the Blues.

    Difficult one to call for me. Chelsea play tonight, Thursday and sunday. United only play tonight and sunday, so I suppose it depends what teams they put out

    Uniteds record against Chelsea is not good but Chelsea are not at their best also just maybe they might be up for this game

    Certainly did. As a young un loved getting a balloon for the tat we gave them. Even had a bloke come round sharpening knives, the coalman, a mobile library and a guy who came round sundays selling icecream from a handcart.

    Leaving aside the fact that we are talking about a human being here.

     

    Simplistic view.

     

    Consider you have just bought a car on finance, great, you jump in it having just made the down payment and off you go. On the way home you wrap it round a tree, car is no more, but the finance people still want paying.

     

    Of course you would expect your car insurance to cough up to pay off the finance.

     

    One assumes that Cardiff would insure their "asset" but hadn't gotten around to it (clubs do insure players don't they?).

     

    Sorry but they have to pay up, or negotiate a reduced fee.

    I read the other day that Barcelona took a massive insurance on that player from Ajax who has not joined them yet 

  6. Help us avoid Emiliano Sala payment: Cardiff seek Premier League clubs' advice on escaping £15m transfer fee

     

    Cardiff City have contacted other Premier League clubs in an attempt to establish whether there may be grounds to avoid paying the full £15million transfer fee being demanded by Nantes for Emiliano Sala, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

    Letters sent in the past few days by lawyers acting for the club request help in ‘fighting off Nantes’ legal claim’, according to one source. They ask clubs for assistance in ‘sharing your knowledge of Sala as a player’.

  7. The score definitely flattered City.  Congrats to Newport for being excellent opponents despite being 83 places below City.  Yes, the pitch was a great leveler.  While Foden took his two goals really well, he was not that visible for most of the first half.  Ferna, as always,. amazing and hopefully he came away unscathed.
