What are the highlights from the recent FA Cup weekend?
Football on Off the Ball.
Some were bought for a system, but Manchester United are trying to bring players in that can play multiple systems so that when a manager leaves, the whole club isn't rocked. And I actually agree with that idea. Join in the obsession. Subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join.

18plusgamblingcare.ie Alright, you're very welcome along to this week's episode of Final One Standing. It's a pretty interesting weekend of football. Man Utd and Man City is the half-twelve kick-off. Our two live games on Sunday are Wolves and Newcastle at two o'clock and then Villa against Everton from half-past four. And you can hear live, exclusive, uninterrupted commentary of both those games on Off the Ball on Sunday afternoon on Newstalk with John Duggan in the hot seat. Mick McCarthy and Ben Symes are with us in studio and Lee Feltz is with us on the line. Lee, good afternoon to you. How are you? I'm really good. How are you guys doing? In the end, your cup weekend last weekend was pretty good, I think, was it?
Yeah, really good. I thought it was great when you had the upset on the Friday night, obviously, which has kind of been forgotten about because of what Macclesfield did. I mean, we had a fair few punters back Macclesfield. Someone had £100 on, as it were, 11 to 1. I mean, it's not a huge price, is it, given how big the difference is between them and Palace. But yeah, I thought it was a really good weekend.
How are Manchester United and Manchester City preparing for the derby?
Ben, I thought we were going to get another joint killing when Western Supermare kept equalising against your beloved Grimsby. I'm thinking of you. That's a little bit worried.
I was thinking about the mean one to four at home. If you were sat on a one, no one's back to the Grimsby at one to four anyway, so it's pointless people saying it, let's be honest.
I'm sure there was somebody who was like, oh, that's a handy win. Was it 87th minute winner? Was it something like that? Look, we're a cup team this year. what can I say the cup is back right I think we can like it has over the last couple of years rescued itself from whatever it was whatever period in the doldrums it's now back
It feels like it. It's interesting. I was looking at the... Obviously, a lot is made, and rightly so, of the amazing results for the likes of Macclesfield and Wrexham. But when you looked at a lot of the other Premier League versus non-Premier League games, the aggregate score... was 32-7. And No Man's City accounted for 10 of those goals. But, you know, I think so, because you look at, like, Wolves had a good day. Burnley won well. I think it was 5-1 and 6-1. So there's a lot of teams, Premier League teams, who really put them to. So there's only one team, I think, who kept a clean sheet in those games. And that was Brentford. So the rest, both teams to score and the Premier League team winning all landed.
So some big hackers out there for someone.
I think there was four all Premier League games and I didn't see Newcastle Bournemouth or Everton Sunderland but they seemed like they were dramatic but the Villa Spurs game and the United Brighton game felt like big games that were important to both teams and I think when you get that in the cup
What tactical changes can we expect from Manchester United under Carrick?
that's when it loses its luster if you're getting a Chelsea-Arsenal game that doesn't feel like a Chelsea-Arsenal game. You can't take it too seriously then, but it didn't give us any of those last weekend, which I think makes everybody feel quite positive.
And in a weird way, Wolves and essentially Burnley being already down means they're going to put their strongest team out in the cup on the off chance that they might be able to go on some kind of reputation-restoring run. This weekend, obviously, Man Utd against Man City is the big one. What are you seeing here, Lee? What do you think is going to happen?
I can't see how Manchester City don't win this game because Michael Carrick goes into this job and he's seen Darren Fletcher get two poor results in his interim two games.
