Push just came to shove at the top of the Prem today. Unbelievably, United has actually drawn Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA cup.
First you cry. Then there's anger. Finally there's acceptance. Really all I want is a great game (5-nil United). But as the gladiators prepare for battle there's just one problem: they won't face off in the final. And isn't that what we really want? Not Southampton. Not Millwall. Just Arsenal.
Last year's final was exciting, sad, and tragic. Exciting because United faced Chelsea. Sad because they lost. And tragic because I was forced to watch it in the
overstuffed-pirogi-like-comfort of the Ukrainian Sports Club (Nevada Smiths was sold out and the UKS took in us dregs).February 16 can't come soon enough. By then one of the teams will have endured a tie, maybe even a loss. But the dream of a double or treble could be a reality for one of them. I'm just hoping it's the right red team.
