Thumb in a Suit says the pitch and ref were to blame for Man United being held by lowly Cambridge. Definitely, definitely nothing to do with his poor signings or random tactics.

We're playing Boro at home, flying back from our Abu Dhabi Do literally hours before the game, but apparently not at all taking it lightly. I'm going to give a not-at-all-outside-of-the-box prediction of empty seats, a flat atmosphere, a laboured performance and a shock result.

The draw otherwise is pretty uninspiring again, not a vintage year thus far. Boro potentially dumping City out aside, no real CUPSET potential, no huge showdowns between the #BigBoys. Bristol City v West Ham (Sun), and Rochdale v Stoke (Mon) have vaguely cuppy feels to them, but that's about it.

Other games some of us will pretend to watch this weekend are Lazio v Milan, Ajax v Feyenoord, Boca v River Plate, Valencia v Sevilla, and Fiorentina v Roma.

Shoot...
