Macclesfield Town/Manchester City. It's complicated.
Anyway... It's an improvement on MK Dons

I'm really still struggling to believe what I saw from Phil Jones tonight. He is really no better than most Conference centre halves in possession of the ball.

Thought we did well first half and were a little unlucky not to score just before half time.

Second half was a real slog and we struggled to get out if our box let alone our half, just couldn't get the ball. Still, was an excellent defensive display.

The atmosphere in the ground was amazing tonight, don't think it'll have come across on tv but was very loud in the Habbin.

So proud tonight. That's massive money for us, sets us up massively. A far cry from when we almost went out of business 10 years ago.

Well done to Cambridge. Are you Laker from the old footie threads forum?

Nice effort that. Might look for tickets for the replay and confuse all the pilgrimaging home fans by cheering on Cambridge.

The atmosphere sounded good even on TV.

A single unitary authority for urban Dorset
Moyes would have been utterly slaughtered for that last night. Van Gaal has had his 3 months, his 6 months, his 150m quid, and they're still no better off.

Blimey. At its height, 7.1 million people tuned in to watch Cambridge United last night - that MUST be a record for them?!

Thats always going to be the case in a game with a gulf like this, even if the top team plays badly, they're gonna have their spell where they pin the other team back, and usually thats when they score. Fair play though, you've called it pretty well, thought Cambridge had their moments first half, and when United asserted a bit of control second half, Cambridge defended brilliantly. The double save from Dunn at the end was class, thought that was the moment they were going to steal it.

Mathieu Flamini has more assists in the past 5 games than Angel Di Maria

Bloody he'll only found out the score from my hairdresser this morning. It's bizarre that Van Gaal has barely received any pressure from the media considering what Moyes got.

wow that was painful to watch last night. So damn slow going forward all the time. Don't know if it's lack of confidence or something else but we need to pick a first 11 and stick to it every game so they can start building some cohesion. keep changing the formation and half the players every game.

De Gea
Shaw
Rojo
Jones (a New CB)
Rafael

Carrick
Herrera
Di maria
Mata

Rooney
Falcao

And stick to it unless someone is injured

Wilson would benefit from a year on loan somewhere. RVP has had 3 maybe 4 decent games in 2 years and one of those was for Holland. Falcao needs to be given a run of starts along side Rooney

Well that was unexpected especially when I saw the line up before kick off, thought we gave a good account of ourselves overall, tried first half to go at Man U and nearly went ahead with coulson missing a glorious chance, 2nd half was the total opposite, backs to the wall stuff near the end but thought we fully deserved to take the tie to a replay. Can't help but thinking that might be a chance missed to actually beat Man U but obviously I'm over the moon with a draw

Massive massive result for my little club.

Great effort from Cambridge and a well deserve result I though. Think of the money and all the fans you will take up there for the next leg, forget the result!

How much is a televised replay at Old Trafford worth to Cambridge?

£72k for being on tv and I reckon £1m in our share of gate receipts.
