But I do see that Utd game as significant because it was a cup quarter final. You can't sensibly say there's no pressure in that scenario.

We need to finish the job in the Cup. We really should win on Saturday, the Final is all on the day, especially if it's Liverpool, but we've shown we've got nothing to fear from them. If we do that (I don't care as much about 2nd place, it would be nice but I'd rather have a trophy) then two trophies in two years gives us some momentum.
Do Man Utd still strike fear in your heart? They’re just Man Utd in name. I wouldn’t hold them up as that team to beat these days. We should have put the whooping on them last season under Moyes. Hold that up as sign of improvement if you want, but I won’t because that result came not so long after us losing 3-1 to Monaco. I know if Wenger could swap the results for those ties, he’d do it in a heartbeat.
