Surprise, surprise -- the suits at that bastion of English football, the FA, are none too pleased with the inflamatory post-match comments from United's top two on Saturday -- and they would like both to go into further detail about what they meant. I

Congratulations to Portsmouth and the Other Unlikely Semi-Finalists

Now that the annoyance of Saturday's crazy match is over, I feel like it's time to give props to Pompey and the other three clubs and their fans, who surely can't have imagined such a thing as a visit to the new Wembley Stadium for the FA Cup semi-finals

How the f*ck we didn't score I'll never know. Maybe somebody put some cling film over the goal. Either that or some type of force field. Naturally Fergie's blown his top and blamed the referee -- though he does have a point. Why is it that skilled play
