The Cup Calls
They say a week is a long time in football. It is when it comes to Louis van Gaal’s unique brand of football. One step forward, how many back? Manchester United’s victory over West Ham in the FA Cup brought rare cheer on the road, only for the Reds’ old limitations to be exposed once again as the Premier League’s worst team, Aston Villa, visited Old Trafford. Same on Louis van Gaaal, same old performance then. Ed & Paul look back on United’s two victories this week, and ahead to the FA Cup semi-final with Everton at Wembley next weekend, and a midweek Premier League tie with Crystal Palace.
