When you're playing one of the best teams in Europe you can't expect much really, although we were quite optimistic before the game. We had a couple of chances early on and against United you've got to take them or they will punish you, which they did. They put a good side out and were very impressive. We're not really a physical side so we couldn't really impose ourselves and once they went ahead that was it really. John Pantsil never gave up and Clint Dempsey certainly gave it some. He was always trying to make something happen but United shirts seemed to be everywhere. We're not down, though, when you compare where we are to last season; we're 10th in the league now and safe from the drop.

I was a bit apprehensive before the match as Fulham have got a good home record so to beat them 4-0 was a great result. It was an excellent atmosphere with 5,000 United fans making a lot of noise. They were brilliant. So was Carlos Tevez, who had an absolutely superb match. We seem to be saving all our goals for the cup this year – we scored four at Derby and three at Southampton – and we're looking unbeatable. I fancy Chelsea next up because it would be a great game, Fergie's never lost an FA Cup semi-final and there's no one in the country can touch us at the moment.
