FA Cup 2006 - 2007: QuarterFinal

Middlesbrough vs Man Utd, The Riverside Stadium Boro manager Gareth Southgate is banking on home ground advantage to upset favourites Man United. He has appealed Boro fans not to snub their FA Cup Q-final with the Red Devils again. Less than 18,000 Boro fans turned up the last time United came to Riverside for a televised FA Cup tie five years ago, and the Boro manager believes a near-full house would greatly aid his side. But our Man Utd are in prime position to win Treble (or at least double, but i do believe we could repeat the 1999-quest again) this season. We are heading the premiership table and still in the FA Cup and Champions League. The gaffer SAF, who in recent years has shunned this competition, will not be making this mistake again. He doesn't have to field our first 11. Thanks God, Lady of Luck is back :). My prediction: Of Course Man Utd will grab 3rd-away win in two-week. Glory-glory Man Utd. Woody Warning For Devils "We are going to try to win this competition but have got to do it the hard way by playing Man Utd. That is never easy but we have a decent record against them. On our day, we can beat anyone. It will be difficult because United are a special side who will probably win the League. And I hope they do because they're are good side who play attractive football." - Jonathan Woodgate, Middlesbrough Sidelined Players Manchester United have confirmed that French defender Mikael Silvestre suffered a dislocated right shoulder during their victory over Lille. Although club officials have not put a time scale on Silvestre's likely recovery, Chelsea defender Khalid Boulahrouz was back on the bench for the Blues' win over Porto on Tuesday less than three weeks after suffering a similar injury in an FA Cup tie against Norwich. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been ruled out until the end of the month following minor knee surgery, Darren Fletcher will be sidelined for two months with ankle ligament damage, while Louis Saha could be out for four weeks after damaging a hamstring in training on Tuesday.
