Leroy can only see one result at Old Trafford

|

LEROY (1)I can’t wait … really can’t wait. I’m as excited today as I was as kid and I watch an awful lot of football!!!

The truth is that there has been no time in my lifetime when I can remember the Irons going to Old Trafford with a better winning chance than they hold today.

And I fully expect out 9,000 fans to making far more noise than the United supporters because such is the negativity surrounding Manchester United these days that is a very quiet place on match days.

We are on ahuge run of success and the confidence is streaming out of us and I can see no other reult than a Hammers victory

Anything can happen in a Cup match but the truth is we are a better team than them – a tougher team than them with more creative players.

We should win this and Dimi Payet will be in heaven in the wide open spaces of Old Trafford. This match is absolutely made for him.

We must come out and get eight on our game and there should be absolutely no stopping us with those brilliant fans behind us.

If we perform from the start we’ll win so long as we don’t get any daft reffing decisions or whatever. I’m a fan today and can’t see any other result.

I’m taking us to win 2-1 and if you fancy a bet my first goalscorer is Payet and my second Sakho.

COME ON YOU IRONS
