West Ham United v Manchester United

:00:07. > :00:08.For well over a century, West Ham have been playing

:00:09. > :00:10.here at the Boleyn Ground, but next season

:00:11. > :00:13.the Hammers are moving home to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford,

:00:14. > :00:15.so tonight's the last ever FA Cup game here.

:00:16. > :00:18.Manchester United are the illustrious visitors

:00:19. > :00:29.with the last place in the FA Cup semifinals to be booked tonight.

:00:30. > :00:32.Both West Ham and Manchester United are still in the hunt

:00:33. > :00:34.for European places in the league, but these players know that success

:00:35. > :00:39.in the Emirates FA Cup could put a winning gloss on the season.

:00:40. > :00:54.the Hammers were in touching distance of the semifinals.

:00:55. > :01:01.Dubbed the 132nd meeting between Manchester United and West Ham

:01:02. > :01:04.United. West Ham free kick, Dimitri Payet, that is brilliant, fantastic

:01:05. > :01:13.from Dimitri Payet, and West Ham lead adult rabbit! Herrera, they

:01:14. > :01:18.have found the goal through Martial! 1-1 at Old Trafford,

:01:19. > :01:20.which means a last chance for some Cup football here at

:01:21. > :01:23.a packed Boleyn Ground tonight, and hopefully a proper East End

:01:24. > :01:28.send-off to this grand old stadium. and a former favourite of the manor,

:01:29. > :01:41.Joe Cole. A very special occasion. It is a

:01:42. > :01:45.massive occasion, the crowd look up for it, I am really looking forward

:01:46. > :01:53.to the game, I think West Ham are going to do it. Dove game Joe Cole,

:01:54. > :02:03.Alan? I am going to go for West Ham, because the last game at Upton Park,

:02:04. > :02:08.the fans are up for it, the atmosphere is electric. Some very

:02:09. > :02:16.good players have been bought into the team, I am going to go for West

:02:17. > :02:21.Ham. You played with him at Lille, did you spot his talent? Eden Hazard

:02:22. > :02:27.was there at the time, so it was almost as if he was like a magnet,

:02:28. > :02:37.Eden took all the free kicks, so I knew he was quality, but to go and

:02:38. > :02:41.do what he has done, it has took him a little bit longer. He has been

:02:42. > :02:46.sensational, as have other West Ham players. There is Andy Carroll,

:02:47. > :02:51.Patrick at the weekend. Berry good performance, goals at the weekend,

:02:52. > :02:56.he will be keen tonight. If they get the ball wide like they did at the

:02:57. > :03:02.weekend, get some quality balls in, he is at times and playable. He will

:03:03. > :03:05.fancy his chances against the Manchester United centre halves.

:03:06. > :03:11.This is huge for Manchester United and Louis van Gaal in particular. FA

:03:12. > :03:15.Cup and top four finish would be enough for most clubs, but not for

:03:16. > :03:19.Louis van Gaal. Sometimes it does not work, with legends behind you,

:03:20. > :03:23.it is very difficult to get it back, and whether they are not buying into

:03:24. > :03:29.his philosophy, they owe him a performance tonight. You think West

:03:30. > :03:32.Ham are going to do it? West Ham, yes.

:03:33. > :03:34.The kick-off is imminent, so time to hear

:03:35. > :03:44.from our commentary team of Martin Keown and Steve Wilson.

:03:45. > :03:54.This is the 156th and last FA Cup game at Upton Park, a semifinal for

:03:55. > :03:58.the winners against Everton in ten days' time is the prize. We are

:03:59. > :04:02.starting early, but I have got a sneaking suspicion we might be

:04:03. > :04:07.finishing late tonight as these two try to get themselves into the last

:04:08. > :04:13.four of the Cup. Roger East is the man in black, Manchester United in

:04:14. > :04:18.white and black, West Ham United in claret and blue from right-to-left

:04:19. > :04:22.in the first 45 minutes. Great noise at the Boleyn Ground, anticipation

:04:23. > :04:26.all day in east London about this game. The fans and supporters are

:04:27. > :04:31.like a 12th man at this club, they have been here for many a cup tie,

:04:32. > :04:34.the players seem to go up an extra gear in the night games. The

:04:35. > :04:39.floodlights are on already, holds tight for a very fast ride, because

:04:40. > :04:47.this is going to be some game tonight. Their heaviest defeat,

:04:48. > :04:55.Manchester United, 3-0 at Arsenal and 3-0 at Spurs. That was only an

:04:56. > :04:59.Sunday. Fortunately, their bus driver knew how to get them to Upton

:05:00. > :05:03.Park and time tonight. Michael Carrick certainly knows his way, he

:05:04. > :05:14.started his career here for West Ham.

:05:15. > :05:21.Carrick being closed down by Lanzini, a lot of talk, and rightly

:05:22. > :05:26.so, about Payet this season, but I also think Lanzini has been a

:05:27. > :05:35.magnificent find for West Ham. Here is Fellaini. Somebody rather rightly

:05:36. > :05:39.said in the press that it is not often that a game is crying out for

:05:40. > :05:42.Marouane Fellaini, but this might be one.

:05:43. > :05:56.That is going to be the first corner kick of the game. Characters getting

:05:57. > :06:00.back into defend. -- Carrick. Great ball by Antonio, getting the

:06:01. > :06:10.overlap, this West Ham team really push on. Ogbonna, one of the goal

:06:11. > :06:14.threats, scored a late goal in next time against Liverpool in the Cup

:06:15. > :06:19.here earlier in the season, in a fourth-round replay. In comes the

:06:20. > :06:23.corner kick, Antonio with the flick at the near post. Roger East is

:06:24. > :06:28.waiting for guidance from his assistant on the far side, and when

:06:29. > :06:31.he gets it, it is a goal kick. Interesting to see who will pick up

:06:32. > :06:36.Andy Carroll, we saw what he did at the weekend, wondering if Fellaini

:06:37. > :06:40.might come in, Smalling had the role for that one. He will be buzzing at

:06:41. > :06:47.the weekend, looking to get the ball to him at every opportunity.

:06:48. > :06:54.Here is Ander Herrera for Manchester United, a way towards those immense,

:06:55. > :07:00.taken off at White Hart Lane with a knock, but he is OK. -- towards

:07:01. > :07:05.Fosu-Mensah. Carroll has gone down as he tried to close down Smalling,

:07:06. > :07:13.but he seems OK. You never know how far he is away from injury, Andy

:07:14. > :07:22.Carroll. A dangerous ball towards Rashford, headed away by Tomkins.

:07:23. > :07:26.They have got good options in defence, Tomkins, very important

:07:27. > :07:29.header, Rashford makes good moves, for such a young man, really

:07:30. > :07:33.impressed with his contribution since he has come into the

:07:34. > :07:37.Manchester United team. Andy Carroll, eighth minute hat-trick at

:07:38. > :07:48.Arsenal at the weekend, and he scored more goals for West Ham than

:07:49. > :07:52.from April 2013 to December 2014, which is a reflection of how many

:07:53. > :08:02.injury problems he has had. When he is fit and on song, Martin... Yes,

:08:03. > :08:05.he needs a run of games, though. In towards Valencia, also very good in

:08:06. > :08:20.the air, despite not having the stature of Carroll physically.

:08:21. > :08:27.Valencia is onside, Enner Valencia! That is a fairly tame effort from a

:08:28. > :08:36.very good position. I think it is worrying as well, twice on the fans

:08:37. > :08:41.he has got in behind the mass -- Manchester United defence, nobody

:08:42. > :08:44.reacting to it. Pushing too high, nobody going with him, nothing on

:08:45. > :08:52.the shot, but he is getting into good areas.

:08:53. > :09:05.Here is Herrera, Carrick, Rashford here. Michail Antonio, another super

:09:06. > :09:10.signing for West Ham. I think it is great to see, we have seen a few,

:09:11. > :09:15.Leicester in particular, players coming up from the Championship or

:09:16. > :09:21.below and looking very much at home in this league. Very definitely,

:09:22. > :09:28.Antonio very powerful there, he has come a long way to get to the

:09:29. > :09:35.Premier League, that is for sure. Manchester United have the throw in.

:09:36. > :09:43.This is the ninth time, between these two sides in the FA Cup, they

:09:44. > :09:57.have each one four and there have been two draws.

:09:58. > :10:07.Roger East, the referee, is happy to allow Manchester United to continue.

:10:08. > :10:15.It is good pressure, isn't it? Putting the goalkeeper under

:10:16. > :10:21.pressure. Noble looking to turn Smalling, and Smalling fouled him.

:10:22. > :10:24.Well, I am fairly sure that somewhere am on the instructions

:10:25. > :10:30.this weekend for Manchester United, do not concede free kicks near the

:10:31. > :10:36.penalty area. He looks as though he is holding onto him as well. Do not

:10:37. > :10:42.give him the opportunity to down. They have got one of the best

:10:43. > :10:49.headers in the game in Andy Carroll, potentially meeting a free kick from

:10:50. > :10:59.one of the best set piece layers, Payet on the ball, Carroll in the

:11:00. > :11:05.middle. It is a lethal combination. Hard dealt with, the clearing header

:11:06. > :11:14.not yet there from Manchester United. Carrick to Martial. Lovely

:11:15. > :11:23.turn from Martial, lovely interchange with Rashford.

:11:24. > :11:32.Is that another free kick? It is, Payet down this time, Fosu-Mensah

:11:33. > :11:40.with the foul. You don't want to be giving away free kicks in these

:11:41. > :11:49.sorts of areas. Yeah, he just dived in, Payet's feed are so quick.

:11:50. > :11:50.Terrific player, the young Dutch defender, midfielder. The exuberance

:11:51. > :12:03.of youth. Trying to keep those players out of

:12:04. > :12:09.the box, that is what they are looking to do, Manchester United.

:12:10. > :12:19.Payet will deliver this right footed.

:12:20. > :12:29.In fact, he has tried to beat De Gea at his near post. Easy save for the

:12:30. > :12:41.Spaniard. Just keeping him honest, isn't he? You think I am going for a

:12:42. > :12:46.cross, I might just whip it in at the near post. You have to start

:12:47. > :12:51.thinking about Dimitri Payet being up there in the very top echelon of

:12:52. > :12:56.set piece taker is that we have seen in the Premier League, with Ronaldo,

:12:57. > :13:01.Matt Le Tissier, people like that. It is amazing, what he is aiming to

:13:02. > :13:05.do. You know what he is going to do, you just cannot stop him. Do not

:13:06. > :13:13.give him too many opportunities. It is the way they play, they test you.

:13:14. > :13:16.Marcos Rojo with is throwing for Manchester United. Much of the games

:13:17. > :13:22.so far has been played in their half, but without any great alarms

:13:23. > :13:26.to De Gea, although Valencia might have done better with a clear

:13:27. > :13:56.opening. Quite happy to be safe in

:13:57. > :14:04.possession, and they? That is a free kick. Noble, there is a vociferous

:14:05. > :14:07.campaign from West Ham fans to get him into the England team, but I do

:14:08. > :14:16.not think it is can to happen in time for the summer.

:14:17. > :14:23.Wayne Rooney is amongst the substitutes tonight for Manchester

:14:24. > :14:27.United, he played an hour on Monday in an under-21s game at Old

:14:28. > :14:31.Trafford, a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough. Phil Jones also

:14:32. > :14:36.played in that game, working his way back from injury - he is not

:14:37. > :14:41.involved tonight, the defender. Fosu-Mensah under pressure from

:14:42. > :14:47.Payet. He could not quite take advantage of the slip.

:14:48. > :14:53.Good header on from Kouyate and Lanzini is onto it. Lanzini, here, a

:14:54. > :14:58.lovely, delicious little reverse ball in for Noble but did not quite

:14:59. > :15:03.reach his team-mate. Great imagination. That is what he does. I

:15:04. > :15:07.think he's a super Blair. Yes, right in the heart of the team, that

:15:08. > :15:18.little bit of inventiveness that you have to expect.

:15:19. > :15:32.Ogbonna to Cresswell. Payet. Staying very wide so far, Payet. Lanzini.

:15:33. > :15:45.Again, Dimitri Payet. That is nice. Lanzini tried to go

:15:46. > :15:50.through Fosu-Mensah and that was not going to happen. It is a West Ham

:15:51. > :15:55.throw in. Good tackle but good play. You talk about the West Amway, the

:15:56. > :15:58.fans really warmed to the one touch football, imagination, skill on the

:15:59. > :16:02.ball, it is all there. Fosu-Mensah is going to have his hands full

:16:03. > :16:09.tonight at right back. He looks a bit nervous as well, doesn't he?

:16:10. > :16:17.Early on. It is a goal from Cresswell. They have got some left

:16:18. > :16:21.side on them, with Cresswell and Payet and Lanzini joining down the

:16:22. > :16:28.side. Another great flick from Payet, wasn't it? West Ham, enjoying

:16:29. > :16:32.the possession so far. Enner Valencia. Tomkins infielder Lanzini.

:16:33. > :16:45.But that is a poor touch. Martial taking on Antonio, who

:16:46. > :16:49.dispossessed him easily. When you think at the start of the season

:16:50. > :16:55.with Jenkinson, Antonio is playing there like a seasoned writeback.

:16:56. > :16:56.Payet, forward to Cresswell. This is Lingard, back defending for

:16:57. > :17:13.Manchester United. Valencia. Well anticipated by

:17:14. > :17:16.Ogbonna, cutting it out ahead of Rashford. Mark Noble running into

:17:17. > :17:23.Fellaini, cleanly won by the Belgian and a decent ball to Martial. Ander

:17:24. > :17:30.Herrera in a great position but well played by Ogbonna. They leave you

:17:31. > :17:34.chances, don't they, West Ham? We saw that at the weekend with

:17:35. > :17:42.Arsenal. Their full-backs push up so high.

:17:43. > :17:48.Lanzini, just crowded out by sheer weight of numbers. Fellaini, look at

:17:49. > :17:54.the danger, Martial to his left. Rashford. Getting the shot away and

:17:55. > :17:58.it was deflected for a corner. But I'm not surprised that Martial is

:17:59. > :18:03.disappointed to fill any's left because you was ignored. Antonio was

:18:04. > :18:10.way up the pitch, as is Cresswell, almost two against two but he does

:18:11. > :18:21.not work it well enough. It is high risk football from West Ham.

:18:22. > :18:36.So, this is Blind with Manchester United's first corner.

:18:37. > :18:40.The Bobby Moore Stand, all the supporters on their feet behind the

:18:41. > :18:48.goal. As the free kick comes in, cleared away by Tomkins. Valencia

:18:49. > :18:55.chasing. All the way back to the Heyer. -- to de Gea. Hard work from

:18:56. > :18:59.Valencia and again, they love that here. You can play but they want you

:19:00. > :19:06.to work hard and give everything for the team. He has got a brilliant

:19:07. > :19:11.spring on him as well, Valencia, if he arrives at the back post, he is a

:19:12. > :19:14.threat in the air. It is interesting, the two managers are

:19:15. > :19:20.such a contrast. Slaven Bilic, every little nuance of the game causes him

:19:21. > :19:24.to gesture and almost wriggles about in the technical area whereas of

:19:25. > :19:31.course, as we know, Louis Madaule sits there and writes notes. It is

:19:32. > :19:35.like he sat in library, Van Gaal. -- Louis van Gaal sits there. What is

:19:36. > :19:39.in the book anyway? Rafa Benitez goes along with the same theory,

:19:40. > :19:47.doesn't he? He gives very little away. He has certainly given youth

:19:48. > :19:51.its chance, Van Gaal, whatever else you say about him which is in the

:19:52. > :19:55.tradition of Manchester United, and they do have some very good young

:19:56. > :19:59.players at the club. Well, that is what he might be remembered for. He

:20:00. > :20:05.needs to do something, win a trophy, and the FA Cup is here to win. This

:20:06. > :20:14.is the one, the last one. Payet. Wriggling into the box. Cleared away

:20:15. > :20:21.by Smalling. It is surprisingly Manchester United have not won the

:20:22. > :20:25.FA Cup since 2004 -- surprising that Manchester United. It is their

:20:26. > :20:30.longest run without a win since they went from 1963, to 1977 without

:20:31. > :20:31.winning the cup so this trophy is overdue, for them anyway.

:20:32. > :20:43.Remarkable, isn't it? Randolph, in goal for West Ham who

:20:44. > :20:44.has played throughout the cup campaign, the Republic of Ireland

:20:45. > :21:14.international. Fosu-Mensah providing... A good ball

:21:15. > :21:19.into Fellaini! Randolph over the bar with a terrific stop. It might have

:21:20. > :21:24.flicked off Ogbonna as well. That was so simple but it opened up for

:21:25. > :21:28.the Laney, here. It was an Fellaini gets on the back of Noble, takes up

:21:29. > :21:31.a good position, no one picking him up and it takes a deflection so an

:21:32. > :21:36.excellent save from the goalkeeper, look at that. It flicked off

:21:37. > :21:42.Ogbonna, which might well have left Randolph beaten but it is a really

:21:43. > :21:50.good stop. At the expense of a corner, taken by Blind.

:21:51. > :22:01.Road Dogg, getting something on it but Antonio is there. -- Marcos

:22:02. > :22:06.Rojo. And he's and running. Marcos Rojo is not going to catch him but

:22:07. > :22:11.he made it easy for Michael Carrick with a heavy touch. He runs with a

:22:12. > :22:17.freedom, doesn't he, Antonio? He also leaves a great big hole behind

:22:18. > :22:21.him at times. Years not a full-back, not really a writeback. He is

:22:22. > :22:25.filling in. Joey O'Brien has been cursed by injuries for a long time

:22:26. > :22:28.and Carl Jenkinson, you mentioned earlier, has gone back to Arsenal

:22:29. > :22:30.after a bad injury. That was a bit short for Randolph. Only went to

:22:31. > :22:44.Fellaini. Manchester United are just beginning

:22:45. > :22:48.to enjoy a greater share of possession in the last few minutes.

:22:49. > :22:51.They are, with Carrick going deep and Fellaini higher up the pitch.

:22:52. > :22:59.Tricky for the West Ham midfield to deal with it. Martial comes deep to

:23:00. > :23:10.collect. Lingard. Fosu-Mensah. Lingard. Not quite sit down for him.

:23:11. > :23:16.Cresswell in the end dispossessed in him and getting the free kick. --

:23:17. > :23:22.dispossessing him. Another West Ham man who has had a fine season,

:23:23. > :23:28.Cresswell. He loves to attack, doesn't he? A better period, though,

:23:29. > :23:36.for Manchester United in their build-up.

:23:37. > :23:53.Carroll jumping with Fellaini. Smalling forward. Cresswell.

:23:54. > :24:00.There is one of the greats of West Ham United, Billy Bonds, the former

:24:01. > :24:07.player and manager, FA Cup winning captain on two occasions. Great to

:24:08. > :24:12.see him here, watching West Ham this evening. Sir Trevor Brooking is here

:24:13. > :24:19.as well, of course. A great servant to the club, wasn't he, here? It is

:24:20. > :24:25.also worth mentioning that Bobby Moore would have been 75 yesterday.

:24:26. > :24:29.When I started my career, I spent two seasons working with Bobby Moore

:24:30. > :24:32.right or the end of his life on radio. A player so connected with

:24:33. > :24:34.this football club, and they are inspiration for the bubble to come

:24:35. > :24:48.-- players to come, all of them. Rashford, oh, lovely, away from

:24:49. > :24:55.Antonio, really good. Tomkins to the rescue. That is why he is exciting

:24:56. > :24:59.people. It is his intelligence off the ball, as well, before he

:25:00. > :25:02.receives this, great with his feet, the way he sidesteps onto his left

:25:03. > :25:08.foot. Rate defending from Tomkins to stop them. Five goals in his first

:25:09. > :25:12.ten Manchester United games is some start to a career. It is intelligent

:25:13. > :25:18.movement, though, to receive the ball first. That is what impresses

:25:19. > :25:22.me about him. Blind with the short corner. Ander Herrera. Carroll doing

:25:23. > :25:33.a defensive job. Cresswell, up to a rather isolated

:25:34. > :25:40.Valencia, who was jumping into his man.

:25:41. > :25:46.West Ham, the last time they made this stage of the couple 2011 and

:25:47. > :25:50.they lost a stone. Since 1980, when they beat Arsenal in the final, they

:25:51. > :26:02.have played ten FA Cup quarterfinals and lost eight of them. Lingard.

:26:03. > :26:10.It is a goal kick. It is a good ball initially from Herrera in the

:26:11. > :26:17.midfield, just picking out little pockets in the midfield. Noble does

:26:18. > :26:21.not want to go after Herrera. Kouyate, as well, is sitting deep.

:26:22. > :26:29.They need to sort things out better in the midfield. I expect Slaven

:26:30. > :26:33.Bilic to solve the problem. Randolph may well be the Republic of Ireland

:26:34. > :26:38.goalkeeper this summer. Rob Elliot's unfortunate injury against the back

:26:39. > :26:47.year in a friendly the other week has seen to that. The Laney.

:26:48. > :26:54.Herrera. -- for a Laney. Mayor just behind Anthony Martial. Just a

:26:55. > :26:58.question with Marcos Rojo, isn't it? Is quality on the ball, is the the

:26:59. > :27:03.same ilk as players that have gone before him? Well, they have got

:27:04. > :27:07.Cameron Borthwick-Jackson at the club, the young English prospect and

:27:08. > :27:10.Luke Shaw, who has been out all season with a broken leg and

:27:11. > :27:13.Fosu-Mensah can play left-back. So he will have some competition,

:27:14. > :27:20.Marcos Rojo, when everyone is available. Cresswell. Kouyate. A

:27:21. > :27:42.shout from the West Ham fans. Noble. The game just going through a

:27:43. > :27:45.slightly cagey spell at the moment. They seem reluctant to put their

:27:46. > :27:49.foot through the ball to Andy Carroll, don't they? They want to

:27:50. > :27:54.pass on the back, West Ham. Tomkins with a great run, still going. No

:27:55. > :28:02.one is stopping him. Carroll working hard. Downward header, Andy Carroll.

:28:03. > :28:09.There was no one coming to meet it. Lanzini or Valencia might have done

:28:10. > :28:12.but neither did. Tomkins has just recovered his position at the heart

:28:13. > :28:18.of the defence after that run up the right wing. That is the difference,

:28:19. > :28:22.there, Tomkins, under Slaven Bilic, he wants to run with the ball. He

:28:23. > :28:25.does not just want to shifted forward to Carroll, which he might

:28:26. > :28:37.have done under Sam Allardyce. -- shift it forward.

:28:38. > :28:43.Antonio Dzindzaletaite the throw, down in front of what used to be

:28:44. > :28:48.called the chicken run terracing. -- Antonio to take the throw. If you

:28:49. > :28:51.took a throw in down the years, you could feel the breath on the back of

:28:52. > :28:56.your neck from the fans, it was that close down there. It's not as close

:28:57. > :28:59.as it used to be when they built the main stand that we and the cameras

:29:00. > :29:04.are in. The pitch moved over towards this side a little bit. But when you

:29:05. > :29:09.play here, you are always very much aware of the fans, that is for sure.

:29:10. > :29:12.In the old days, they probably could have lent forward and pinch the back

:29:13. > :29:20.of your neck as you were preparing to take the throw! Character Blind,

:29:21. > :29:24.for Manchester United. -- Carrick to Blind. Martial coming very deep,

:29:25. > :29:28.wants to run with the ball, Martial has a great change of pace and

:29:29. > :29:32.glides when he gets going. Rashford did well under pressure. Marcos Rojo

:29:33. > :29:38.with the ball into the box but Noble firmly away and Kouyate to Lanzini.

:29:39. > :29:43.There is a pass onto Payet from Lanzini and this is it. Oh, and he

:29:44. > :29:49.is knocked out of it by Carrick. This will be a card for Michael

:29:50. > :29:54.Carrick. He suggested innocence but I think he knew what he was doing.

:29:55. > :29:59.He's trying to say, "Where do you want me to go? I can't get out of

:30:00. > :30:06.the way". Payet is too quick for him and Carrick has blocked him off. He

:30:07. > :30:16.has taken one for the team. 159 games for West Ham, Michael Carrick.

:30:17. > :30:25.He is asking the West Ham forward to push on a little bit. Just watching

:30:26. > :30:29.Carroll's position from the free kick, he wants him in a wide

:30:30. > :30:33.position. That is where he will be more effective, where he is now.

:30:34. > :30:38.Smalling is with him. In it goes from Payet, the header rebound is,

:30:39. > :30:50.Lanzini got right underneath it. Plenty of pace on the ball coming

:30:51. > :30:54.in, he gets underneath it, you expect better from Lanzini. It is

:30:55. > :31:04.all about technique, keeping your head down, over the ball. I thought

:31:05. > :31:11.he might have finished it. 17 years ago tomorrow, Martin, remember the

:31:12. > :31:14.goal at Villa Park? Unfortunately, I remember it like yesterday! Where

:31:15. > :31:16.have all the years gone? I tackled him in my sleep the other night,

:31:17. > :31:36.woke up and realised I hadn't! A few disgruntled West Ham fans with

:31:37. > :31:39.that decision, Manchester United throw in. Look at the space Carrick

:31:40. > :31:59.has got to pick a pass. That is the area, Steve, in behind

:32:00. > :32:10.Antonio, just not the execution. Two Manchester United players pouring

:32:11. > :32:16.into that hole. Tomkins looks as though he is limping. Yes. He came

:32:17. > :32:21.off at half-time against Arsenal at the weekend, James Tomkins, and has

:32:22. > :32:26.only just come back from a calf injury. James Collins is amongst the

:32:27. > :32:36.substitutes tonight for West Ham united, who himself has had a

:32:37. > :32:39.hamstring problem. Fosu-Mensah. Good persistence by Payet, a huge

:32:40. > :32:46.favourite here. Years, but Fosu-Mensah did well there as well,

:32:47. > :32:48.sticking to his task, only a young man. Neither goalkeeper has been too

:32:49. > :33:05.troubled so far. If West Ham do go through, Slaven

:33:06. > :33:08.Bilic will face another of his former clubs, of course, in the

:33:09. > :33:13.semifinal, a former Everton defender.

:33:14. > :33:34.Cresswell beating Lingard. Fosu-Mensah turning and turning,

:33:35. > :33:40.looking at the referee, Roger East, but Roger East says, yes, free kick.

:33:41. > :33:45.Fosu-Mensah is lucky there, he should just play the way he is

:33:46. > :33:54.facing. A little bit of Vela that he, not much in that. -- a little

:33:55. > :34:00.bit of a liberty. Came to Manchester from the Ajax academy. Here is

:34:01. > :34:09.Carrick, good ball, but Delaney could not collect it. He has had the

:34:10. > :34:14.chance of the game so far, Fellaini. He has, he keeps making runs, and

:34:15. > :34:20.Carrick will pick him out if he has that kind of space. This is the

:34:21. > :34:27.chance, a wonderful save, the flick off Ogbonna. The keeper is already

:34:28. > :34:33.going, it has that extra on it. Just does enough to tip it over.

:34:34. > :34:51.Carroll is going to find Valencia, who is in behind Blind, and that is

:34:52. > :34:56.twice now that he has at a side of the goal and does not troubled the

:34:57. > :35:01.Spanish keeper. He is a wide player, but he wants to get into central

:35:02. > :35:08.positions. He is really very rapid. He would have struggled to beat him

:35:09. > :35:09.from there. Clattered away by Antonio, returned by Rojo, Antonio

:35:10. > :35:15.again. Here is Enner Valencia, Antonio.

:35:16. > :35:34.Great scrap with Marcos Rojo. Lingard has got to be careful here.

:35:35. > :35:40.Fosu-Mensah away, West Ham throw. Quickly taken.

:35:41. > :35:51.That is a good ball, Lanzini was offside, that is a shame. That is a

:35:52. > :35:56.great little run, isn't it? The flag went up immediately. Good line, they

:35:57. > :36:07.get up well, Kouyate, great ball. Really impressed with him, very

:36:08. > :36:13.probing, with the ball and without, intelligent runner with the ball.

:36:14. > :36:23.Came to the Premier League from River Plate in Brazil, then the UAE

:36:24. > :36:28.before he came to West Ham. Just one long ball, Antonio gets caught out,

:36:29. > :36:38.and for me at times he is a bit suspect defensively. It is suddenly

:36:39. > :36:44.pouring. Incomes that corner kick, but behind for another corner,

:36:45. > :36:57.Kouyate. Totally committed, isn't he, Kouyate?

:36:58. > :37:12.Fellaini, Martial, Smalling. So too is Ander Herrera. Lingard is lurking

:37:13. > :37:18.from full-back. That is a powerful header from Carroll. Just giving

:37:19. > :37:25.them that area to attack, it is working really well. Martial has

:37:26. > :37:32.done well, Herrera wasn't really picked up. The block from Noble, now

:37:33. > :37:35.the break. Kouyate held back by Carrick, who has already had a

:37:36. > :37:43.yellow card. And he is being reminded of that fact! He certainly

:37:44. > :37:48.is. Carrick will need to be careful. I do not think he can do much to get

:37:49. > :37:53.out of the way of that one either. Roger East might just have a word in

:37:54. > :38:24.his ear, yes, he did, as he ran past him.

:38:25. > :38:33.Excellence chants for Lingard, good save! -- excellence chants. Then

:38:34. > :38:40.given back to Fellaini. I think West Ham are going to get away with it,

:38:41. > :38:57.Noble and Payet. That is a good ball. Good pace from Smalling.

:38:58. > :39:11.Lingard, Herrera, oh flew away. It was two versus one at the side.

:39:12. > :39:29.Grade chants for Lingard. Rashford does so well, the way he runs. Great

:39:30. > :39:39.chance. They are leaving holes behind when they charge forward,

:39:40. > :39:46.West Ham. Two big chances, they are a little bit lucky it is 0-0. They

:39:47. > :39:55.are picking out their runs, picking out their passes, too much space.

:39:56. > :40:03.Mistake from Fosu-Mensah, Cresswell, Carroll. Here is Kouyate. West Ham's

:40:04. > :40:14.throw. It is hammering down, if you will

:40:15. > :40:52.forgive the pun! A little bit of colour in the sky.

:40:53. > :41:03.Valencia scrapping for it, that is a goal kick. It is good is defending.

:41:04. > :41:08.It is Valencia, isn't it? Just showing that every West Ham player

:41:09. > :41:11.wants to get back, wants to defend. I think Van Carl Wood be quite

:41:12. > :41:21.pleased with what he has seen from his Manchester United team so far.

:41:22. > :41:38.-- I think Van Gaal would be quite pleased. Slaven Bilic, who is a some

:41:39. > :41:46.time guitarist, Kurt Cobain hat on. It is going to be a free kick to

:41:47. > :41:53.West Ham. A triumphant night at Wembley. And Bilic when it was

:41:54. > :42:02.pouring down and he was Croatia manager. -- at Wembley for Slaven

:42:03. > :42:07.Bilic. Bringing an umbrella into a football ground is practically a

:42:08. > :42:17.criminal offence now! Free kick to West Ham, seven minutes of this

:42:18. > :42:22.first have to go. -- first half. Payet, of course, on this, very

:42:23. > :42:30.central. Not able to conjure anything. Nothing in range for a

:42:31. > :42:39.shot yet from Dimitri Payet, he did try to fool De Gea, but that was

:42:40. > :42:40.ambitious. It is a waste, good opportunities in front of the

:42:41. > :42:57.Manchester United goal. Heavy touch from Rojo, Michail

:42:58. > :43:10.Antonio am a Manchester United throw. We don't often talk about De

:43:11. > :43:12.Gea's ability to pick someone out. And other Manchester United throw.

:43:13. > :43:48.Seems to be moving OK, Tomkins. Unusual, a poor touch, but he got

:43:49. > :43:53.away with it. A run and now from Manchester United, intelligently

:43:54. > :44:01.pulled back to Herrera. That was not far away! Another chance for

:44:02. > :44:10.Manchester United. Yes, but really a half chance. Herrera was going to

:44:11. > :44:14.hit this, but there is a deflection, he has to lay at off. Great

:44:15. > :44:19.technique from Carrick, showing confidence from a long way out, but

:44:20. > :44:26.he is not going to score from there. He hasn't scored yet this season,

:44:27. > :44:31.Carrick. A lot resting on his shoulders tonight, he is the senior

:44:32. > :44:37.man in that team. Yeah, more experience in this United side than

:44:38. > :44:47.there has been in some games this season. There was one spell earlier

:44:48. > :44:52.in the year when Van Gaal gave five or six Manchester United players

:44:53. > :44:56.their debuts within the space of about a month, partly through

:44:57. > :44:58.necessity, of course, with injury and what have you. It is bravery as

:44:59. > :45:09.well. It is. Driven in nicely, if Rashford had

:45:10. > :45:12.volleyed that, if he had caught it, it would have stood a chance of

:45:13. > :45:18.being a glorious effort. It certainly would. Fosu-Mensah

:45:19. > :45:25.whipping it in and Rashford pulling away, it just comes at him a bit too

:45:26. > :45:38.quickly off the turf. Just skims off the ground.

:45:39. > :45:42.Manchester United and West Ham have played twice this season already,

:45:43. > :45:47.both games at Old Trafford and both drawn. Another free kick to West

:45:48. > :45:52.Ham. I think it is a case of who is going to get their arm the highest?

:45:53. > :45:59.This was a little barge and then the arm comes out from both of them. Is

:46:00. > :46:05.that a fist? Well, Fellaini really struggles with control of his arms

:46:06. > :46:10.and that crossed the line. He looked like Superman, there. Certainly the

:46:11. > :46:15.correct decision and the free kick is played to Payet. Tomkins did well

:46:16. > :46:25.to keep it in play. Herrera for Manchester United. Rojo chasing but

:46:26. > :46:36.Ogbonna had a head start. He was on the bench in the Champions

:46:37. > :46:44.League final last season for Juventus, Ogbonna. A bit too

:46:45. > :46:47.tricksy. The same goes for Rashford, who loses out to Cresswell. It is a

:46:48. > :46:57.West Ham throw. I think Slaven Bilic might be

:46:58. > :47:05.slightly disappointed with the first half. I think he is unhappy with

:47:06. > :47:12.Payet, there. Just a casual flick. Overplaying.

:47:13. > :47:26.Carroll's flick to Payet. Cresswell. Valencia, looking for it. But too

:47:27. > :47:27.high. Could not work out a way of bringing that down as it dropped

:47:28. > :47:39.over his shoulder. I think we affected a bit more

:47:40. > :47:42.threat from West Ham. We did. Manchester United have taken the

:47:43. > :47:46.sting out of the game in the atmosphere brilliantly. The funny

:47:47. > :47:51.thing is, Martin, every time you think that Van Gaal's goose is well

:47:52. > :47:55.and truly cooked, Manchester United seem to come up with the result. We

:47:56. > :47:59.saw them win at Manchester City the other week. They beat Arsenal when

:48:00. > :48:03.he was under pressure. They won at Anfield earlier in the season when

:48:04. > :48:07.he was, well, when isn't he under pressure? But it seems to be a

:48:08. > :48:14.theme, he finds a result, which is often enough. I like the balance of

:48:15. > :48:18.the teen star Sarah, Martial coming off from the side, him and Rashford

:48:19. > :48:26.interchanging very well, Delaney finding space. -- the balance of the

:48:27. > :48:31.team tonight. Even he can be more confident and look for some of these

:48:32. > :48:45.Ray King diagonal passes. -- raked diagonal passes.

:48:46. > :48:52.Fosu-Mensah. Nice turn from Herrera. Blocked by Cresswell and Ogbonna is

:48:53. > :49:05.there. A foul by Fosu-Mensah on Lanzini.

:49:06. > :49:08.Roger East is striding across. He has decided against getting a card

:49:09. > :49:13.out of his pocket although I suspect it might have been a close decision.

:49:14. > :49:18.Just the wrong decision from the young man. He's never going to win

:49:19. > :49:22.that ball. He will learn that. Now he's calling him over, the referee.

:49:23. > :49:28.He has decided that he wants to do more than just award a free kick but

:49:29. > :49:32.not quite enough to get a card out. We are moving in to, well, we are in

:49:33. > :49:44.a minimum of one added minute of stoppage time.

:49:45. > :50:01.Oh, he seems to have got through the challenge and was then fouled by

:50:02. > :50:04.Rojo. Roger East on the case again and there is just about time for

:50:05. > :50:12.West Ham to create something from this free kick. Roger East is going

:50:13. > :50:16.to get the card out this time. Marcos Rojo joins Michael Carrick in

:50:17. > :50:22.the notebook. Well, we spoke about gay management. It is a silly free

:50:23. > :50:28.kick to give away at this time. -- game management. No need. One minute

:50:29. > :50:32.was indicated and we have played one and a half. Say we are literally

:50:33. > :50:49.talking about seconds. -- so we are. Payet to take. Headed away by

:50:50. > :50:56.Martial. Rashford should have dealt with that. Noble. Cut out by

:50:57. > :51:03.Herrera. Sliding income Andy Carroll and now there is going to be another

:51:04. > :51:08.yellow card. -- in, Andy Carroll. The first half is being extended by

:51:09. > :51:13.a series of fouls and yellow cards. Use a sliding in but I think that is

:51:14. > :51:20.very physical. We saw him do that at the weekend. He is making a habit of

:51:21. > :51:24.it. He's scored in the 2012 FA Cup final for Liverpool, Andy Carroll,

:51:25. > :51:27.as they were beaten by Chelsea. We are still no nearer knowing who is

:51:28. > :51:34.going to make the 2016 semifinal. Marouane Fellaini saw a shot

:51:35. > :51:38.superbly saved by Darren Randolph. Lingard, ditto. Randolph has done

:51:39. > :51:42.well in the West Ham goal. At the other end, all fairly routine for

:51:43. > :51:48.David de Gea. Perhaps Enner Valencia has had the clearest chances for

:51:49. > :51:48.West Ham. But at the break, in the rain, West Ham 0-0 Manchester

:51:49. > :51:57.United. As the players walk off, it is

:51:58. > :52:02.goalless at half-time but should we be surprised? Probably not, it is

:52:03. > :52:04.the 22nd time this season that Manchester United have been 0-0 at

:52:05. > :52:08.half-time wood is a staggering statistic but having said that,

:52:09. > :52:11.they've been pretty useful at times this evening. I think they were the

:52:12. > :52:15.better team in the first. Not only have they nullify the threat of

:52:16. > :52:18.Payet, Lanzini and Carroll, they've been a bigger threat going forward

:52:19. > :52:24.themselves with Delaney having a chance, Lingard having a chance. It

:52:25. > :52:28.has not been a great game, I have disabled. -- Fellaini having a

:52:29. > :52:32.chance. That Italy from West Ham, we expected more from them, we sped to

:52:33. > :52:37.be up but they have not really played in the first. -- we expected

:52:38. > :52:41.them to be up. I think United have been decent and Van Gaal will be

:52:42. > :52:45.happy. West Ham not quite added, it has not quite up and for them. They

:52:46. > :52:49.started well, Cresswell getting down the left and getting in a few

:52:50. > :52:52.crosses for Andy Carroll. But they need to get closer to Michael

:52:53. > :52:56.Carrick in the Segunda. I don't know if it is Lanzini's job, or Noble

:52:57. > :53:01.seems to be vacated in the midfield of it to come out for Martial and

:53:02. > :53:05.Rashford to get into the gaps. After the first ten minutes, I thought

:53:06. > :53:10.West Ham started well but United back into it. Manchester United

:53:11. > :53:14.looked dangerous particularly on the counterattack. They do and what is

:53:15. > :53:18.happening, because of their form, going forward in recent games, yes,

:53:19. > :53:22.they can score goals, the full-backs are going forward but they are

:53:23. > :53:24.leaving big gaps in front of the two centre halves, with Kouyate and

:53:25. > :53:29.noble looking to get in on the action as well. Certainly, in this

:53:30. > :53:33.instance and another one we are going to show you, Fellaini is

:53:34. > :53:36.causing them all sorts of problems. You can see the two midfielders

:53:37. > :53:40.looking to get forward but look at the space they are leaving behind.

:53:41. > :53:44.Fellaini gets the ball and turns and he is straight into the back four of

:53:45. > :53:48.West Ham. He has been a threat, getting the ball and collecting it,

:53:49. > :53:51.they come inside again and this is a very good opportunity and a good

:53:52. > :53:55.save from Randolph. He is causing them problems in that position. They

:53:56. > :54:01.have just got to be cattle and watch out for that. It is a -- to be

:54:02. > :54:06.cattle. It is a very good save from the deflection in the end. The best

:54:07. > :54:11.chance of the game, Kouyate and Noble in midfield, Tomkins has do go

:54:12. > :54:14.short into Rashford. It is very intelligent, he goes short but look

:54:15. > :54:18.at Lingard, because he goes short, he leaves the space in behind and

:54:19. > :54:22.they get into it. This is the best chance of the game, a good save,

:54:23. > :54:31.yes, but he should score. They are taking chances, West Ham, because

:54:32. > :54:33.they are committing so many men forward and being disappointed going

:54:34. > :54:36.forward but they are leaving big spaces at the back as well. United

:54:37. > :54:38.Scooby -- should be scoring these chances. They might live to regret

:54:39. > :54:43.it. You said Slaven Bilic to have to do something about the space. The

:54:44. > :54:46.clip at the end, Carrick had a lot of time and I've played against him,

:54:47. > :54:50.you have to stop him playing and Noble saw that because he's an

:54:51. > :54:54.intelligent player. But maybe the front three or four need to organise

:54:55. > :54:58.that better, get round him and stopping probing. West Ham with

:54:59. > :55:05.scraps, really, Valencia, a couple of occasions he might have done

:55:06. > :55:07.something. Yes, Valencia is always a threat because he is looking to

:55:08. > :55:11.going behind. He's energetic. Maybe he should have done better but he's

:55:12. > :55:14.always running in behind and testing the full-backs. He is a problem to

:55:15. > :55:20.play against. Not that many options in the middle, to be fair to him.

:55:21. > :55:24.Coming from the right, there, he hit a shot and maybe he could have

:55:25. > :55:28.passed but he sat at it. It would be some effort to score from their on

:55:29. > :55:32.his weaker foot. Especially against David de Gea. We spoke a lot before

:55:33. > :55:37.the game about Payet and Lanzini and they started quite well but they

:55:38. > :55:39.faded through the half. They were lively, but they were lively in

:55:40. > :55:44.probably the wrong areas, little bits of skill that we have seen and

:55:45. > :55:48.we know they can do this, a bit of showboating and flicks, this, that

:55:49. > :55:51.and the other, possession. But where it really matters, they have been

:55:52. > :55:56.disappointing in the first half. We have not seen enough of them in a

:55:57. > :56:01.penalty box and causing Manchester United problems. Little flicks and

:56:02. > :56:07.passes, yes. But not enough where it matters. Yeah, with Payet, here. I

:56:08. > :56:11.mean, that is different class. We have picked out Lingard, who we said

:56:12. > :56:15.had an important role, matching Cresswell's runs but sometimes when

:56:16. > :56:18.you have a player like Payet, normal players can't find the full-back but

:56:19. > :56:25.he managed to find him a couple of times and caught out Lingard. But I

:56:26. > :56:29.mean, he is a threat in behind as well, Payet, a player that can come

:56:30. > :56:32.short and hurt you and also going behind. The guys that we mentioned

:56:33. > :56:37.before the game, Payet, Carroll, getting balls into the box but they

:56:38. > :56:40.have not got the balls into the box and you have to give Manchester

:56:41. > :56:45.United credit for that, stopping them going forward and nullifying

:56:46. > :56:48.them. Quickly on Payet, he was nominated in the top six players for

:56:49. > :56:55.the PFA Player of the Year. Would he get your vote?" Remark he's had a

:56:56. > :56:59.fantastic season, some pieces of brilliance, particularly with free

:57:00. > :57:04.kicks. Close but there might be one or two lead of him, Harry Kane,

:57:05. > :57:08.Jamie Vardy, N'Golo Kante as well. Riyad Mahrez. Like Alan, he's close

:57:09. > :57:12.because he's been outstanding for his first Premier League season, at

:57:13. > :57:15.his age, 29. It's difficult, maybe younger players can hit the ground

:57:16. > :57:20.running when they come over but he's managed to do it and been

:57:21. > :57:24.exceptional. Terrific season. Manchester United at half-time, Van

:57:25. > :57:35.Gaal will be reasonably happy? Yes, firstly with the way West Ham and

:57:36. > :57:37.then with the way they have got into scoring positions but he will be

:57:38. > :57:39.disappointed they have not scored and they might regret that in the

:57:40. > :57:42.second half because I'm sure West Ham will be better in the second

:57:43. > :57:45.half than they have been in the first. It has not ended up 22 times

:57:46. > :57:46.this season so look forward -- stay with us, please!

:57:47. > :57:48.Plenty to look forward to in the second half,

:57:49. > :57:50.and plenty FA Cup action to enjoy on the BBC

:57:51. > :57:54.I'm pleased to say we've extended our deal

:57:55. > :57:56.with the Football Association until the end of the 2021 season,

:57:57. > :58:29.I would like to have a coffee, thank you.

:58:30. > :58:37.Welcome to our coverage of the FA Cup final. This has got to be worth

:58:38. > :58:38.well over ?1 million. Tonight, we are joined by football fans from all

:58:39. > :58:48.around the country. And you don't have to wait long

:58:49. > :58:50.for your next helping. will be the first Emirates FA Cup

:58:51. > :58:56.semifinal a week on Saturday, featuring the winner of tonight's

:58:57. > :58:58.match against Everton. Before that, the business end

:58:59. > :59:06.of the Premier League season with Football Focus on BBC One

:59:07. > :59:12.at lunchtime, with Match Of The Day

:59:13. > :59:14.at 10:25pm featuring Norwich at home to Sunderland,

:59:15. > :59:18.with Newcastle also in action. After tonight's match,

:59:19. > :59:21.there are just three more league games for West Ham

:59:22. > :59:24.to play here at the Boleyn Ground. During 112 seasons,

:59:25. > :59:32.it's seen the club win 3 FA Cups as well as embark on a triumphant

:59:33. > :59:35.European Cup Winners' Cup campaign. to players who would have

:59:36. > :59:49.graced any era. And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is

:59:50. > :59:55.bubbles time, so why don't you all join in with a rip-roaring chorus of

:59:56. > :00:00.I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles? Grow # I'm forever blowing Bubbles

:00:01. > :00:31.# Pretty bubbles in the air. # Lampard... Oh, what a goal! In by

:00:32. > :00:36.Barnes! Now brooking! What a superb goal! Payet strikes, he is in, what

:00:37. > :00:55.a goal by Dimitri Payet! Tevez with the cross, picks out

:00:56. > :01:02.Neville, that is an absolute delta! -- belter!

:01:03. > :01:05.Great memories, and let's head down to the pitch

:01:06. > :01:19.Thanks, we are down with the one and only Sir Trevor brooking, and German

:01:20. > :01:26.David Gold of West Ham, you have played here, famously, can you

:01:27. > :01:33.remember when you first came? -- chairman. 57-58, the promotion

:01:34. > :01:37.season, in those days they used to let the youngsters go to the front

:01:38. > :01:41.and stand in the stalls so they can see and meet up with their dad or

:01:42. > :01:48.brother later. Great times, that is when I first got interested. David,

:01:49. > :01:54.you were a fan as well, great memories of Wembley, 45 minutes away

:01:55. > :02:00.from getting there. I remember going to Wembley in 1964, when we beat

:02:01. > :02:06.Preston 3-2 or 3-1, and then of course what was the next final I

:02:07. > :02:12.went to? I went to the 1975 final and 1980. Alan Taylor scored two

:02:13. > :02:17.goals against Fulham in 1975, that was very exciting. But the most

:02:18. > :02:24.exciting was in 1980, when I went to Wembley for the third time, a

:02:25. > :02:30.wonderful goal by Sir Trevor... Third time lucky! Wonderful header

:02:31. > :02:34.won the game. And we beat Arsenal, and we were in the First Division,

:02:35. > :02:40.and Arsenal were in the top division. It does not been vintage

:02:41. > :02:44.West Ham, the first 45 minutes, but a great atmosphere, real expectancy.

:02:45. > :02:50.When you move, are you concerned you will not be able to recreate this? I

:02:51. > :02:55.am not worried one bit. The atmosphere is created by fans, and

:02:56. > :02:59.we are going to have 50,000 fans at matches like this. They will create

:03:00. > :03:05.the atmosphere, I have no doubt in my mind about that at all. Sir

:03:06. > :03:15.Trevor, in the first of, West Ham started well, but Manchester United

:03:16. > :03:25.have bossed it. Michael Carrick has picked it up in the hole, so they

:03:26. > :03:28.will be frustrated they are not haired, and you will think that West

:03:29. > :03:33.Ham could bring Payet and Lanzini more into the game, but Manchester

:03:34. > :03:38.United have been the better team. Whatever the result, emotional

:03:39. > :03:43.night? The end of FA Cup football at one of the great stadiums? Not

:03:44. > :03:47.whatever the result, if we were to lose, and I do not think we will, we

:03:48. > :03:51.have seen the best of Manchester United in the first half, but we

:03:52. > :03:56.will see the best of West Ham in the second half. It will be a great,

:03:57. > :04:02.fitting for us to get to the final and hopefully win it, so tonight it

:04:03. > :04:06.is 45 measures, these evening games, the header against Liverpool next

:04:07. > :04:10.time was the moment of the season, I am hoping to get another moment like

:04:11. > :04:15.that, but I am not sure I can survive extra time this evening! I

:04:16. > :04:20.would love as to get to the final. You mentioned extra time, and the

:04:21. > :04:23.draw has been made, if it goes to penalties, a coin was tossed,

:04:24. > :04:27.Manchester United won the toss, so if it goes to penalties, they will

:04:28. > :04:32.be taken in front of the Manchester United fans in the end named after

:04:33. > :04:39.this man! I had better go up there and hide when they are taking

:04:40. > :04:42.penalties! Thanks, gentlemen. Great memories, great times, and that

:04:43. > :04:45.particular end, I do not know if you're a member, you scored your

:04:46. > :04:53.first goal for West Ham, and we might be able to see it! No, OK...

:04:54. > :05:00.How is my hair looking? That is more important! Incredible game, that was

:05:01. > :05:08.5-4, a great moment. For any player... How old were you? 17, 18.

:05:09. > :05:15.It was unbelievable, what a game to do it in, 5-4, it lives long in the

:05:16. > :05:21.family memory. Alan, give us some analysis. A tap in, right place,

:05:22. > :05:27.writes I'm(!) Could have gone down for a penalty! They all count! Di

:05:28. > :05:33.Canio got a bit excited in that game. The ask to come off three four

:05:34. > :05:38.times, because the referee should have given him four penalties. -- he

:05:39. > :05:46.ask to come off three or four times. In the end he was fighting with

:05:47. > :05:52.Frank over the penalty. Young Lampard there! He has done well to

:05:53. > :05:59.get it off Frank! I think Frank knew he was not stopping, it was going to

:06:00. > :06:04.go on all night. Does he score? Yeah. It is always all right if you

:06:05. > :06:09.score in those circumstances! Harry Redknapp in the stand, what is going

:06:10. > :06:18.on here?! He had to score after that. And no, incredible game. Some

:06:19. > :06:22.lovely views of the ground, Upton Park, the Boleyn Ground, whatever

:06:23. > :06:27.they call it. It is technically the Boleyn Ground at Upton Park, they

:06:28. > :06:28.are singing again, the bubbles are blowing, so let's rejoin our

:06:29. > :06:40.commentators. Great to hear from Sir Trevor

:06:41. > :06:48.Brooking, no changes at half-time, Manchester United get the second

:06:49. > :06:53.period and away, having bossed much of the first, but still goalless in

:06:54. > :06:58.east London. The rain has mercifully stopped, but no substitutions made

:06:59. > :07:07.by either manager thus far. Here is Ander Herrera for Manchester United,

:07:08. > :07:11.finding Fosu-Mensah. It is going to be eight Manchester United throw in.

:07:12. > :07:19.Having heard from David Gold at half-time, he owns the oldest

:07:20. > :07:24.existing FA Cup trophy. The first one was lost, he owns the second, I

:07:25. > :07:31.think it is on permanent loan to the National Football Museum. It shows

:07:32. > :07:37.his love of the game and the FA Cup, doesn't it? We took the Football

:07:38. > :07:44.Focus cameras do as I was a couple of years ago, and there it was on

:07:45. > :07:50.his mantelpiece! -- to his house. Marcos Rojo for Manchester United.

:07:51. > :08:00.West Ham and other grounds before they came here. -- had.

:08:01. > :08:08.The ball kept in, the clearance has gone straight through to close a

:08:09. > :08:16.Mensa, here is Smalling, Blind. Cash straight

:08:17. > :08:31.character very, very deep isn't he? West Ham pushing a bit further, that

:08:32. > :08:36.would have been discussed at half-time, Slaven Bilic wants them

:08:37. > :08:41.to go forward. West Ham's first ever game under the name West Ham United

:08:42. > :08:46.after they change from Thames Ironworks was against a team called

:08:47. > :08:48.Olympic FC, appropriately enough, given they are going to the Olympic

:08:49. > :09:30.Stadium. Manchester United have started the

:09:31. > :09:33.second half well. Starting brightly, asking questions, certainly down the

:09:34. > :09:41.Manchester United right hand side, Fosu-Mensah pushing on. He has one

:09:42. > :09:55.more year on his contract, Louis van Gaal.

:09:56. > :10:05.He has also won domestic Cup competitions with European teams,

:10:06. > :10:07.the Manchester United manager. We never expected him still to be in

:10:08. > :10:24.that seat this long. Won by Fellaini, Lingard, Carrick,

:10:25. > :10:31.real threat to West Ham's goal, Lingard's shot, it hits the

:10:32. > :10:37.stanchion, a puff of the cheeks from Lingard, he knows that was well hit.

:10:38. > :10:41.Diagonal from Blind, knocked down by Fellaini, he comes onto this really

:10:42. > :10:49.positive, it is worth an effort, just off target. I think this is an

:10:50. > :10:54.area, Lingard, if he can clear that up in front of goal, he could be a

:10:55. > :11:00.top player. He just seems to miss a lot of opportunities. Developing

:11:01. > :11:07.very well for Manchester United, though, given the chance by Van

:11:08. > :11:12.Gaal. Yet only played one match before Manchester United this

:11:13. > :11:16.season, he has played 30 this season before tonight. -- he had only

:11:17. > :11:21.played. That is a good tackle! Really clean challenge from Tomkins,

:11:22. > :11:25.Pat on the head from Noble for it. It needed to be as well, rational

:11:26. > :11:47.and twisting and turning, we talked about his intelligence.

:11:48. > :11:51.A foul and Kouyate, according to West Ham, but not according to Roger

:11:52. > :12:04.East. Well cut out by Payet. West Ham are

:12:05. > :12:13.struggling to get out of their own half at the moment. Accomplished

:12:14. > :12:15.tactical display so far from Manchester United. The only thing it

:12:16. > :12:34.has lacked, really, is a goal. Kouyate covering, you have said that

:12:35. > :12:37.a few times tonight. Carroll, neatly done, we have not seen any magic

:12:38. > :13:01.from Payet yet tonight. That is the toughest save De Gea has

:13:02. > :13:04.had to make tonight. It shows Kouyate's confidence, prepared to

:13:05. > :13:15.hit it from that sort of distance, simple save.

:13:16. > :13:24.Here is Payet, as Manchester United concede possession. He has got some

:13:25. > :13:33.pace, hasn't he? Really recovered well. Years an exciting player. --

:13:34. > :13:49.he is. Smalling has to be strong and was

:13:50. > :13:53.there. Carroll just hasn't come alive yet. Well, it is only the

:13:54. > :14:01.fourth game he has started this calendar year, Andy Carroll, but

:14:02. > :14:07.such a lot into that Arsenal game, he will not have done that in a

:14:08. > :14:15.while. He looked like he was trying to prove a point, Smalling has been

:14:16. > :14:21.handling him very well so far. As illustrated there. He is developing

:14:22. > :14:28.as well, isn't he, and a Van Gaal? Would you consider taking Andy

:14:29. > :14:36.Carroll as a wild card this summer? Outside bet, at best. He gives you a

:14:37. > :14:41.different threat from the current strikers that we have.

:14:42. > :14:53.Antonio rather overplayed that, lovely feet, brilliant goal! Oh,

:14:54. > :14:56.that is a wonderful goal from the quite superb, urging Manchester

:14:57. > :15:00.United talent! Marcus Rashford, brilliantly done, West Ham 0,

:15:01. > :15:10.Manchester United and 1. That is just ruthless finishing.

:15:11. > :15:17.This fella is going to be something special. The composure that he has,

:15:18. > :15:21.as soon see stand-up Tomkins, he wants to work it into that area. He

:15:22. > :15:24.knows what he wants to do with it. Look at him in that little area,

:15:25. > :15:31.that little pocket again, where he can't be picked up. Antonia's error?

:15:32. > :15:34.Yes, you get the ball and he is in total control. Look at the

:15:35. > :15:40.technique, fantastic play from him. Such a young man. Look at him,

:15:41. > :15:45.there, just stands him up, little shimmy and that is right in the

:15:46. > :15:48.corner, pick that one out. Let me ask you another question, Martin, if

:15:49. > :15:53.you were ring Roger -- Roy Hodgson's shoes, would you take Marcus

:15:54. > :15:57.Rashford? It is tempting. This boy is going to be something special, I

:15:58. > :16:01.wonder if it is of the order of Ryan Giggs, that kind of impact? That is

:16:02. > :16:09.a special goal. That is a wonderful goal. They have unearthed a little

:16:10. > :16:10.beauty in Rashford. That is a smashing goal, and West Ham United

:16:11. > :16:25.are behind at Upton Park. Now what have they got, West Ham?

:16:26. > :16:29.What can Slaven Bilic wrestle out of them? Mark Noble, turning away from

:16:30. > :16:36.her error. Noble, a fine run, still going. Trying to get away from

:16:37. > :16:40.Fellaini. David de Gea, there. That has injected some fresh belief into

:16:41. > :16:46.the band as much as anything. Yes, a reaction. -- into the fans. The game

:16:47. > :16:52.is going to be much better for that goal. In it goes from Antonio but

:16:53. > :17:00.wasted. Carroll is saying he wants the ball whipped in. Well, he will

:17:01. > :17:06.know, Antonio, that he gave the ball away cheaply.

:17:07. > :17:20.Valencia. Taken off it by Herrera. Martial gliding over the turf, finds

:17:21. > :17:24.Lingard who is running at Cresswell, has the full-back backpedalling. It

:17:25. > :17:29.is a really dangerous ball. Rojo. Rashford's little touch but it was

:17:30. > :17:33.blocked. Dwelling on it, West Ham but eventually clearing to Antonio

:17:34. > :17:38.and now it is end to end stuff. Antonio for West Ham, four against

:17:39. > :17:43.four, Antonio running into Blind. Roger East right on the spot, Payet

:17:44. > :17:47.wriggling through. The defender needs to be cattle but the referee

:17:48. > :17:53.says no foul. The game has burst into life off the back of that

:17:54. > :18:02.Rashford goal. -- as to be careful. Herrera. Good challenge by Noble.

:18:03. > :18:07.The atmosphere is electric. This West Ham team give their fans what

:18:08. > :18:13.they want and they are responding. It is a good Manchester United

:18:14. > :18:17.performance so far. Well, if they go, West Ham, they will not go with

:18:18. > :18:22.a whimper, not at home, not in front of these fans, not on the last cup

:18:23. > :18:26.and I at Upton Park. Antonio virtually ran over the top of happy

:18:27. > :18:32.Mac blind, there. Lingard. That was a good ball, but Fosu-Mensah could

:18:33. > :18:36.not quite keep it in play and it is a goal kick. Welcomer Roger East's

:18:37. > :18:42.response was emphatic and immediate, no penalty. Antonio virtually runs

:18:43. > :18:49.over the top of Blind and it is Payet. No, I think the referee has

:18:50. > :18:55.got that right. Antonio's endeavour to get there has caused the problem

:18:56. > :19:04.initially. Payet latches on. Carrick was a little bit lucky, diving in.

:19:05. > :19:10.There is contact. But I think he's never going to get to the ball, is

:19:11. > :19:14.he? Welcomer Roger East was right on the spot and was in no doubt at all.

:19:15. > :19:24.-- well, Roger East. What about the noise now at Upton Park? Danger as

:19:25. > :19:29.Manchester United come again but cut out by a one. West Ham will leave

:19:30. > :19:34.that space, though, leave those holes behind. Nice one, Valencia

:19:35. > :19:40.fooling Blind. Well, he had the chance to deliver into the box and

:19:41. > :19:49.Andy Carroll is hugely frustrated. Not the only one. That ball has got

:19:50. > :19:51.to come in, hasn't it? He had done the hard bit and then tried to do it

:19:52. > :20:09.again. Cresswell. Kouyate. Noble. Not much Randolph could do about the

:20:10. > :20:17.goal. It was just fabulous technique. Herrera.

:20:18. > :20:21.Well, it was a bit of a slow burner for 50 minutes, this game, but not

:20:22. > :20:35.now. A poor touch. Fellaini on to it

:20:36. > :20:41.quickly. Kouyate the guilty man. Can West Ham an nerve and unsubtle

:20:42. > :20:45.Manchester United -- unset or Manchester United, who have the

:20:46. > :20:50.game, if not quite in their grip at the moment, but certainly, they are

:20:51. > :20:52.where they want to be? It is a feature, how high the Manchester

:20:53. > :20:58.United full-backs are prepared to push on. Rojo on the near side is

:20:59. > :21:02.playing like a left-winger. Herrera. Rashford. Danger coming here.

:21:03. > :21:07.Lingard is going to reach this before Randolph... Oh, I thought so.

:21:08. > :21:11.The keeper did exceptionally well. He looked second favourite, there.

:21:12. > :21:18.Great decision from the keeper. Lanzini is foul. You feel like the

:21:19. > :21:24.jacket is off with this West Ham team now. Good goalkeeping by

:21:25. > :21:27.Randall. The key to being a good goalkeeper is making good decisions,

:21:28. > :21:36.coming to get a ball that you can get to. He has backed him self and

:21:37. > :21:43.he got there. James Tomkins, here. Victor Moses is stripped and ready

:21:44. > :21:48.for action for West Ham United. They need more pace, don't they, West

:21:49. > :22:06.Ham? Yes, he is still on loan from Chelsea. Noble caught by Herrera.

:22:07. > :22:14.I wonder if it is Valencia who is coming off after that failed attempt

:22:15. > :22:22.to put the ball in the box? Tomkins. Lingard. Oh, Ogbonna. He is going to

:22:23. > :22:26.deal with it. Rashford, cutting off the route to

:22:27. > :22:47.goal as well as he could. Blind. Smalling. Given away to Noble

:22:48. > :22:49.for West Ham. Cresswell. Lanzini has been a bit quiet, the Argentine.

:22:50. > :23:10.Payet. Kouyate's strike. It is another one from distance.

:23:11. > :23:12.Kouyate, this one, always rising. Enner Valencia is the man making way

:23:13. > :23:28.and Victor Moses is coming on. I fully expect him to run at this

:23:29. > :23:34.Manchester United offence but he needs to put balls into the box for

:23:35. > :23:35.Andy Carroll.". -- Manchester United defence. Victor Moses can be a bit

:23:36. > :23:48.at times. He certainly can. Still, it must be a strange

:23:49. > :23:52.existence when you are, season after season, not at your home club, if

:23:53. > :23:56.you know what I mean. He has had loan spells at Liverpool and West

:23:57. > :24:01.Ham, of course, from Chelsea. You never feel like you belong anywhere.

:24:02. > :24:06.And Stokes, I should not forget, a very good loan spell. Lingard,

:24:07. > :24:12.that's dangerous and Randolph to the rescue again. Smart goalkeeping once

:24:13. > :24:19.more by Randolph. But the threat of a second Manchester United goal is

:24:20. > :24:23.there. Moses, that is a good turn. Rojo was the man who was turned and

:24:24. > :24:30.Moses tries to get into Smalling but it cannons away to Cresswell.

:24:31. > :24:37.Towards Carroll. The. He was ready to attack it but the ball sailed to

:24:38. > :24:40.the position he just left. From the commentary position, you could see

:24:41. > :24:43.Carroll with his arms in the air but just the wrong delivery. The timing

:24:44. > :24:50.of the run, the ball has to be right. Just to the quality into the

:24:51. > :24:55.box is letting West Ham down. -- the quality of the ball into the box. It

:24:56. > :24:58.is a cup run which started with a squeaky victory over Sheffield

:24:59. > :25:03.United... Ambitious from Antonia, straight at de Gea. There was a

:25:04. > :25:06.last-minute Rooney penalty against Sheffield United, and not a

:25:07. > :25:12.convincing win against Derby County at the iPro Stadium and another

:25:13. > :25:17.against Shrewsbury. This is the first time in this quarterfinal that

:25:18. > :25:22.Manchester United have met Premier League opposition in this year's FA

:25:23. > :25:30.Cup. Martial. Trying to turn. Antonio is there. The ball fell

:25:31. > :25:35.kindly for Antonio. Moses. Fellaini, trying to haul him back.

:25:36. > :25:46.Lanzini. Tricky Lanzini. He stayed on his feet, Martin. It looked like

:25:47. > :25:50.Fosu-Mensah had slid in with a challenge and Slaven Bilic certainly

:25:51. > :25:54.thought so. I think Slaven Bilic thought he was pulling the opponent.

:25:55. > :26:02.He was honest, great pace to get in. A good battle. There, he has just

:26:03. > :26:10.pulled him a little bit. It is an honest parcel. Yes. It is a West Ham

:26:11. > :26:13.corner. -- honest parcel. I hesitate to advocate players going down but I

:26:14. > :26:17.know people would say that he probably should have done. In comes

:26:18. > :26:20.the corner kick. Headed away by Fellaini. Noble had more time than

:26:21. > :26:38.that. Antonio, here, gave the ball away,

:26:39. > :26:41.Martin, but the rest is just quality. There's been some great

:26:42. > :26:44.goals scored over the years in this stadium but that is up there with

:26:45. > :26:50.all of them. From such a young player, his movement, and the

:26:51. > :26:58.quality of the finish, two goalkeepers would not have stopped

:26:59. > :27:04.that. He does not turn 19 until the autumn. He seems a very

:27:05. > :27:11.well-balanced individual is welcome his feet firmly on the ground. -- as

:27:12. > :27:19.well, his feet. Actually, speaking about 18-year-olds hitting the big

:27:20. > :27:23.time, it was a Michael Owen style finish, the way he bent it in. It is

:27:24. > :27:27.great news for the club and the Academy. I'm sure they are all proud

:27:28. > :27:37.of what he is achieving. He's got a big future ahead. 1-0, Manchester

:27:38. > :27:47.United lead. Herrera. Blind. Towards Fellaini. Dangerous. Lingard. Very

:27:48. > :27:50.dangerous. Herrera went down, Martial hits it and Fellaini

:27:51. > :27:56.deflects it into the back of the West Ham net! And the home side have

:27:57. > :28:04.a mighty task, now, because Marouane Fellaini has doubled Manchester

:28:05. > :28:11.United's lead. Scruffy defending, and a scruffy finish. But they don't

:28:12. > :28:15.care one iota. It is 2-0 and Manchester United have a foot in the

:28:16. > :28:20.semifinal now. And there can be no complaints from West Ham. He's

:28:21. > :28:24.involved, look at this, Daley Blind hangs it up and lovely chest

:28:25. > :28:30.control, knocks it in. The ball is whipped in and he does not switch

:28:31. > :28:35.off. He is back in bold. I think it comes off his knee. If it does, it

:28:36. > :28:41.is a great little deft finish. He is always looking for it to come back.

:28:42. > :28:49.I mean, it is lucky that it comes to him but he does really well with it.

:28:50. > :28:55.Changes are afoot. Manchester United are taking off Marcos Rojo and

:28:56. > :28:59.bringing on Antonio Valencia as they celebrate the second goal. A little

:29:00. > :29:04.bit of passion from the manager as well to go with his players. Great

:29:05. > :29:14.little improvisation on the finish from Fellaini. We all thought it was

:29:15. > :29:21.going to be Andy Carroll goal, but instead, it is Fellaini setting

:29:22. > :29:25.things up. Well, we thought he would be in the team, Delaney, as the man

:29:26. > :29:32.to stop Carroll but in fact, he is the man two double Manchester

:29:33. > :29:36.United's lead. -- the man to double. Now Antonio Valencia is playing at

:29:37. > :29:38.right back for United in place of Marcos Rojo, so Fosu-Mensah has gone

:29:39. > :29:45.to left-back. Three quarters of the game have been

:29:46. > :30:00.played. It is like the old days for the

:30:01. > :30:09.Manchester United fans, isn't it? They thought these days had gone.

:30:10. > :30:16.Great stuff, photo mentor, Martial. If Antonio had not got that touch,

:30:17. > :30:20.West Ham were in deep trouble. Martial, looking so sharp again. All

:30:21. > :30:23.of the Manchester United players at the top of their game. It must be

:30:24. > :30:29.their best performance of the season, surely? We saw them win at

:30:30. > :30:34.Manchester City the other week and they thoroughly deserved to do so.

:30:35. > :30:40.They have also put in some really shocking performances this season.

:30:41. > :30:46.But every time, as I said in the first half, you think that the flame

:30:47. > :30:49.is being extinguished on Louis van Gaal's time at Old Trafford,

:30:50. > :30:56.something happens to burst it back into life again.

:30:57. > :31:03.He deserves it, he has been and are a lot of pressure. He is not a

:31:04. > :31:09.manager who doesn't have thick skin. They have played in the true

:31:10. > :31:13.traditions of their football club, they have attacked tonight. 20

:31:14. > :31:18.minutes to go, West Ham are in serious trouble here. Rashford has

:31:19. > :31:26.just been excellent in this second half. Randolph to the rescue, not

:31:27. > :31:32.for the first time. Well, he now, when you consider the two saves he

:31:33. > :31:38.made in the first half, two more in the second, this cup tie would have

:31:39. > :31:41.been over but for Randolph. Lingard making the run from deep, Rashford

:31:42. > :31:57.coming off, simple but effective. No foul by Fosu-Mensah and -- on

:31:58. > :32:04.Lanzini. He finds Ander Herrera, Lingard, Martial. Did not get a

:32:05. > :32:09.touch on it, that seemed to fool Martial. West Ham need a goal, but

:32:10. > :32:22.it is Manchester United who look like scoring one. Fosu-Mensah there

:32:23. > :32:26.was like a man possessed. Emenike is going to be on shortly for West Ham.

:32:27. > :32:35.They badly need a goal as soon as possible.

:32:36. > :32:42.Well, this wasn't in the script, was it? Everybody was backing Manchester

:32:43. > :32:47.United to get beaten here tonight. Well, the whole thing with the

:32:48. > :32:49.history, the last Cup tie, incidentally the last game ever in

:32:50. > :32:58.this ground will be against Manchester United, first-team game,

:32:59. > :33:21.that is. Carroll with a little flick on, De Gea is there.

:33:22. > :33:44.Here is Valencia. Smalling forward, looking for Rashford.

:33:45. > :34:02.Good header by Carroll, well cleared by Blind.

:34:03. > :34:11.Need Lanzini zero Payet have really got in the game tonight. Not done

:34:12. > :34:18.enough. Lanzini skipping inside, shot deflected by Blind. This is a

:34:19. > :34:28.big moment of the game for West Ham, they have to do something very

:34:29. > :34:38.quickly. Emenike about to come on. Let's see what impact he can make.

:34:39. > :34:46.Noble goes down, and Herrera was a little bit high, gets the yellow

:34:47. > :34:52.card for that, the Manchester United man. The ball was just in danger of

:34:53. > :35:17.getting away from him there. Lanzini going off. On comes the

:35:18. > :35:19.Nigerian international, Emmanuelle Emenike, on loan here from

:35:20. > :35:43.Fenerbahce. This is what Manchester United needs

:35:44. > :35:52.to do, just take the sting out of it, pass the ball, don't be sloppy!

:35:53. > :36:00.Eliminate errors. Well, Carrick just poked it away, was Antonio caught by

:36:01. > :36:04.Herrera? It is a free kick to West Ham, and Herrera has just been

:36:05. > :36:12.booked, and Roger East is walking over to Ander Herrera. Having just

:36:13. > :36:16.had a yellow card... Well, he has got hurt in an earlier challenge

:36:17. > :36:21.with Antonio, and basically he cannot continue. So basically he

:36:22. > :36:26.cannot continue, he makes a foul, and it is risky stuff. I think he

:36:27. > :36:33.will be going off, though. He will be going off one way or the other!

:36:34. > :36:44.The referee is signalling, it is a substitution. Schneiderlin is going

:36:45. > :36:50.to come on. He is a lucky man! He is in a lot of pain, Herrera. Mark

:36:51. > :36:56.Noble... Mark Noble has just picked up Ander Herrera and carried him off

:36:57. > :37:01.the pitch! He got a mighty round of applause from the West Ham fans! He

:37:02. > :37:10.has picked up and said, where is the naughty step? He is on it! He is the

:37:11. > :37:21.fan on the pitch, isn't he? Yeah, local boy. Got to make this count.

:37:22. > :37:28.Payet with this free kick for West Ham, in it goes, Carroll did not get

:37:29. > :37:30.a touch on it, it was well defended. Lingard is turning away from Mark

:37:31. > :37:37.Noble. Schneiderlin is down the middle. It is aimed towards Martial,

:37:38. > :37:39.but his first touch wasn't good enough. Antonio took it away from

:37:40. > :37:58.him. Payet, Noble, Cresswell. Too high

:37:59. > :38:06.for Kouyate, there was a collision, Moses back in. The header was wide,

:38:07. > :38:11.now they are asking for the penalty. That was great defending for me,

:38:12. > :38:17.just a little nudge, prising him away from the ball. The ball is

:38:18. > :38:22.going to keep coming into the box, it is going to really test the

:38:23. > :38:28.character and personality of this Manchester United defence. I have to

:38:29. > :38:31.say, this collection of young players, Lingard, Martial, Rashford,

:38:32. > :38:36.it is very promising from a Manchester United point of view,

:38:37. > :38:41.lots of pace. They look irresistible going forward. He is going to have a

:38:42. > :38:47.job to get back in the side. It is going to be tough for him. Mr Rooney

:38:48. > :38:52.warming up, getting quite a strong vocal reaction! In goes the cross,

:38:53. > :39:04.which is chased by Victor Moses. Fosu-Mensah, if you are a defender,

:39:05. > :39:07.watched you make of that? Good old-fashioned English Defence

:39:08. > :39:15.League! He really wants it, no-one is getting passed in. -- English

:39:16. > :39:19.defender. It is not quite the stage at which they have to score, but it

:39:20. > :39:25.is getting there for West Ham if they are going to get anything out

:39:26. > :39:34.of this game. Taken into extra time. Payet's corner, De Gea to the

:39:35. > :39:39.rescue, denying Antonio! Great save, that is why he is a top goalkeeper,

:39:40. > :39:45.he has had precious little to do. Totally instinctive, unbelievable!

:39:46. > :39:52.It is a combination of foot and hand, unbelievable! Payet to have

:39:53. > :40:05.another go, Carroll at the back post, 2-1!

:40:06. > :40:11.Well, they might not need to take the roof off the ground when they

:40:12. > :40:17.move in to demolish it, because the fans might do it for them if they

:40:18. > :40:23.get an equaliser here! Tomkins makes it 2-1. Finally, the quality, Andy

:40:24. > :40:28.Carroll picking out Tomkins, no-one can get hear him, look at him get at

:40:29. > :40:33.there! Brilliant header from Tomkins. Isn't it just! Fellaini is

:40:34. > :40:50.there to stop him and just does not thing. -- just does not thing. Game

:40:51. > :40:53.on, 2-1. Incredible how the Manchester United fans have just

:40:54. > :41:08.switched off, this ground has come alive again. Just listen to the West

:41:09. > :41:22.Ham fans now. Oh! West Ham are not going to go lightly. Not a chance of

:41:23. > :41:29.that, not now. Schneiderlin, Ogbonna underneath that, Tomkins, Noble.

:41:30. > :41:35.Dimitri Payet, interesting ball. Smalling and pressure, West Ham are

:41:36. > :41:41.that is a backpass, and the officials are saying, no, it is not.

:41:42. > :41:45.The officials are right, no way that is a backpass. The rules say that

:41:46. > :41:46.Payet, one sees in that central area, far more threatening in the

:41:47. > :42:00.middle. Schneiderlin in for Manchester

:42:01. > :42:25.United, Rashford, Kouyate. Fosu-Mensah is staying down. Well,

:42:26. > :42:30.for a few minutes, it looked like Manchester United were not quite on

:42:31. > :42:34.easy street, but certainly striding towards a Wembley semifinal. Not

:42:35. > :42:52.quite so clear cut now, is it? Oh, that was ambitious. I guess

:42:53. > :42:56.maybe he thought the worst that would happen is it would be

:42:57. > :43:03.deflected behind for a corner, but he didn't get even that. It just

:43:04. > :43:08.shows you the confidence, he thinks anything is possible. Andy Carroll

:43:09. > :43:15.flying through the air, Fellaini is almost about to kick his head off!

:43:16. > :43:23.He swings his Ford added. -- he swings his foot at it. Tremendous,

:43:24. > :43:25.tremendous header from first Carroll then equally from James Tomkins, to

:43:26. > :43:50.put your head in there. It is a free kick to Manchester

:43:51. > :44:00.United. Slaven Bilic is arguing it was a push in the back. He kicks and

:44:01. > :44:09.passes every ball, doesn't he? Doesn't he just! Fosu-Mensah with

:44:10. > :44:12.the throw. Well, they have about seven and a half minutes to go, and

:44:13. > :44:24.maybe, maybe more. Just in case there isn't extra time,

:44:25. > :44:28.Martin, and at the moment there will not be, begin thinking about your

:44:29. > :44:33.man of the match, if you would? I will ask you for that later.

:44:34. > :44:40.Lingard, Tomkins with the block. It is out of play, it is going to be a

:44:41. > :44:44.Manchester United throw. There is the joint chairman, David Gold and

:44:45. > :44:48.David Sullivan, who have marshalled West Ham United through this

:44:49. > :44:51.transitional period. They started this season really just needing to

:44:52. > :44:55.stay in the Premier League, with the move to the new stadium. They have

:44:56. > :45:01.done so much more than that, but can they stay in the FA Cup?

:45:02. > :45:21.Well, the linesman is right on the case, there.

:45:22. > :45:36.Blind. Fellaini. Noble. Playing it out to Moses. Nicely away from

:45:37. > :45:41.Carrick, Victor Moses but Carrick's he'll was a fortunate interception

:45:42. > :45:50.for United. Manchester United, that is. Rashford beat Tomkins. Marcus

:45:51. > :45:53.Rashford, here. He might just be doing enough to get himself a Man of

:45:54. > :46:02.the Match award. I've been immensely impressed with him. Maturity beyond

:46:03. > :46:05.his years. Well, in many, many games this season, Manchester United's

:46:06. > :46:13.best players have been a youngest players. Moses.

:46:14. > :46:21.Payet. Moses. Holding off Valencia. The referee says play on. Victor

:46:22. > :46:38.Moses,. Carrick is there. Always a danger that Manchester

:46:39. > :46:44.United will score a third on the counter and if they do, that surely

:46:45. > :46:51.will be the end for West Ham? He has done well, there, Lingard. Quick

:46:52. > :46:59.feet. Protecting the ball. Buying the free kick and giving his team

:47:00. > :47:02.break, relieving the pressure. -- a break. Less than five minutes to

:47:03. > :47:20.play. Martial. Cresswell won the throw. Kouyate.

:47:21. > :47:20.Looking for Moses. Cut out by Fosu-Mensah, great anticipation.

:47:21. > :47:40.There he is again. Not often that Louis van Gaal

:47:41. > :47:46.displays much emotion of any variety down there in the dugout. I think

:47:47. > :47:53.he's feeling inside. I do, too. This FA Cup competition is huge for him.

:47:54. > :48:03.Fosu-Mensah with the throw. Martial with the header. Manchester United

:48:04. > :48:06.have another throw. It is all eating up valuable time, isn't it? Yes, the

:48:07. > :48:23.clock is ticking in their favour. Schneiderlin. I'm not sure who that

:48:24. > :48:30.was intended for but it will find Valencia.

:48:31. > :48:42.Fellaini. Losing out. Cresswell forward.

:48:43. > :48:48.Nobody holding back. Who said the FA Cup was something the players didn't

:48:49. > :48:53.want to win? Both teams giving everything. Payet toward Carroll.

:48:54. > :48:58.Kouyate keeps it alive for West Ham. Moses to Antonio and Noble.

:48:59. > :49:06.Cresswell. White shirt all back except Martial. In it goes for

:49:07. > :49:15.Carroll! Whisker away. Whiskers away. Well, it is like an aircraft

:49:16. > :49:20.taking off, isn't it? It is unbelievable. He gets up, a powerful

:49:21. > :49:23.header but he just can't get the direction he needs. Cresswell knows

:49:24. > :49:33.he will get on the end of it. Great header but he can't get above it.

:49:34. > :49:42.Oh, Andy Carroll, so close. You get a feeling that there might be more

:49:43. > :49:49.of that to come, though. Oh, that is a nasty slip. Tomkins.

:49:50. > :49:58.Moses. Moses has ridden the touch from Blind and Emenike is in the

:49:59. > :50:03.middle, Payet wants it at the back post and a brilliant touch from

:50:04. > :50:07.Payet. Aiming for Carroll but cut out by Lingard and then

:50:08. > :50:12.Schneiderlin. Ogbonna. 90 seconds of normal time. Dimitri Payet for West

:50:13. > :50:22.Ham United. He lost sight of it, Kouyate!

:50:23. > :50:32.Brilliant, brilliant save by de Gea. Carroll! Is there again. Kouyate,

:50:33. > :50:43.deflected but the flag is up! It does not count. Ecstasy, followed

:50:44. > :50:47.hard by agony. Kouyate, there, great effort on goal. I mean, Andy

:50:48. > :50:54.Carroll, look at the slave from the keeper, and he is just a fraction of

:50:55. > :50:57.side when it comes back. The stadium is bouncing. Everybody thought that

:50:58. > :51:03.was in. I think the referee just about got that right but incredible

:51:04. > :51:06.effort from West Ham, throwing everything at Manchester United.

:51:07. > :51:12.Magnificent double save by de Gea. Wayne Rooney is coming on. Rashford

:51:13. > :51:27.is coming off. Rooney, hoping that he will only be

:51:28. > :51:33.on the pitch fora couple of minutes. -- for a couple of minutes. But it

:51:34. > :51:38.may not be that way. Even now. The fourth official is going to put his

:51:39. > :51:41.board up any minute. West Ham, after the way they have reacted, it's

:51:42. > :51:45.incredible call most of the fans are willing the ball into the back of

:51:46. > :51:54.the net. A minimum of four added minutes. The very first FA Cup tie

:51:55. > :52:00.West Ham played on this ground, 112 years ago, finished in a 2-1 defeat.

:52:01. > :52:19.Towards the back post. Carroll beavering himself towards it,

:52:20. > :52:24.appeals for a push. Payet goes down and that is a free kick. This is

:52:25. > :52:32.where Dimitri Payet would want a free kick. If you said to Dimitri

:52:33. > :52:38.Payet, "Picked a spot", there's every chance he'd picked this one.

:52:39. > :52:46.He is looking for the foul. He knows, this used to be Fergie time

:52:47. > :52:52.but is it Payet is time now? Time added on. -- Payet's time now? He

:52:53. > :52:59.has the quality, there's no doubt. Is... Hold himself together.

:53:00. > :53:04.Fantastic goalkeeper, is the Mark Noble has gone over and shaken

:53:05. > :53:07.Dimitri Payet's can. He did it to Manchester United in the last match

:53:08. > :53:09.with a free kick from virtually this spot. This is to keep West Ham

:53:10. > :53:24.United in the FA Cup. Payet, deflected. Corner. Just not

:53:25. > :53:35.enough on the shot. Spellbinding, isn't it? Well, this will lie into

:53:36. > :53:41.that congested penalty area. No, it won't. It is going to go to Noble,

:53:42. > :53:49.volleyed. Immensely difficult technique for Mark Noble and it is a

:53:50. > :53:55.goal kick. Too ambitious. That would have been a fairy tale, wouldn't it?

:53:56. > :54:03.If that had gone in. Manchester United, 11 time FA Cup winners. Only

:54:04. > :54:05.Arsenal have won the trophy more. They are seconds away, now, from the

:54:06. > :54:20.semifinal. Tomkins. It is a West Ham free kick.

:54:21. > :54:31.It has got to go long and it has got to go quickly.

:54:32. > :54:36.A minimum of four added minutes were shown and we have almost played

:54:37. > :54:41.three of them. Randolph forward. Carroll with the header. Where is it

:54:42. > :54:51.going? It came off Antonio and it has gone behind for a goal kick.

:54:52. > :54:54.Antonio has to be a ball boy. Who is your Man of the Match? I'm going to

:54:55. > :54:57.go for the youngster. It is almost like the changing of the guard,

:54:58. > :55:00.Wayne Rooney was the star of this team but I'm going for the

:55:01. > :55:12.youngster, Rashford. He really impressed me. His goal was

:55:13. > :55:18.outstanding. It was. He is some survivor.

:55:19. > :55:27.David de Gea. What a debt they owe him, Manchester United, if they do

:55:28. > :55:36.indeed go through. Fellaini. Ogbonna, forward. Emenike. Payet.

:55:37. > :55:40.Moses. Is there time for West Ham? Moses confronted by Blind, helping

:55:41. > :55:46.it to Emenike. He kept the ball in play but he could not find a

:55:47. > :55:50.colleague and de Gea was there. There is such bike in this West Ham

:55:51. > :55:56.team. He can be proud of his players to night. -- such fight. The next

:55:57. > :56:01.whistle might be the last. We have played the four minutes indicated.

:56:02. > :56:05.Manchester United have the ball, with Morgan Schneiderlin. If they

:56:06. > :56:09.can keep it for a few more seconds, they have won. Lingard. Antonio

:56:10. > :56:22.Valencia charging forward. This is not the time to give the

:56:23. > :56:28.ball away. Lingard, trying to find Valencia. He wins the throw from

:56:29. > :56:33.Cresswell. But the referee's whistle blows! And Manchester United are

:56:34. > :56:36.into the FA Cup semifinal in ten days' time. Louis van Gaal has found

:56:37. > :56:47.another big result when he needed one. And Manchester United have seen

:56:48. > :56:51.off West Ham. What a dramatic end to the game. A brilliant goal from

:56:52. > :56:55.Rashford, a great finish from Fellaini, a brave reply from Tomkins

:56:56. > :57:01.but then stunning saves from David de Gea at the end to keep Manchester

:57:02. > :57:04.United's lead intact. A wonderful, memorable night at the Boleyn

:57:05. > :57:10.Ground, which says farewell to cup football for the last time. But not

:57:11. > :57:14.a victory for the home fans. It is Manchester United, Sir Bobby

:57:15. > :57:17.Charlton, Louis Van Gaal et al, who heads to Wembley, where they will

:57:18. > :57:23.face Everton in the FA Cup semifinal. West Ham United 1-2

:57:24. > :57:30.Manchester United. STUDIO: Yes, they will face Everton

:57:31. > :57:34.in the semifinals. The Boleyn Ground says farewell to FA Cup football

:57:35. > :57:38.with a cracking FA Cup tie. Not the result, of course, that the West Ham

:57:39. > :57:42.faithful would have wished for, but what a finale they provided.

:57:43. > :57:46.Manchester United have met Everton twice in semifinals and have lost on

:57:47. > :57:53.both occasions. Everton running out penalty winner is the last time they

:57:54. > :57:56.met in 2009. De Gea, once again, fabulous for Manchester United. It

:57:57. > :57:59.has been a tough season for Manchester United but could there be

:58:00. > :58:05.silverware at the end of it? Alan, what a game in the end. What a

:58:06. > :58:09.fantastic second 45 minutes, Gary. It was a big anti-climax for West

:58:10. > :58:13.Ham for about 78 minutes. There was no energy and they did not play with

:58:14. > :58:17.the passion we expected. Then they got the goal from Tomkins and then

:58:18. > :58:21.the whole place came alive. There was much more energy in their game.

:58:22. > :58:25.But for David de Gea, I mean, the number of saves he made in this

:58:26. > :58:30.game, particularly with his left foot! One from a corner and one from

:58:31. > :58:33.Kouyate late on. Fantastic saves. As I said, if West Ham had played like

:58:34. > :58:39.that for the vast majority of the game, it might have been different.

:58:40. > :58:43.Let's look at the Manchester United goals first. What a finish from

:58:44. > :58:49.Rashford. Different class, this is Antonio giving it away, you can see

:58:50. > :58:53.Slaven Bilic telling him to play in the channel and the front three from

:58:54. > :58:56.I just united impressed me to, particularly Rashford, took it

:58:57. > :58:59.early. He gave West Ham a few warnings in the first half, a couple

:59:00. > :59:04.of little movement but that was excellent, keeper no chance and he

:59:05. > :59:07.is a world star now. What an answer to the manager, when he was taken

:59:08. > :59:13.off at the weekend, to respond with a finish like this. But this kind of

:59:14. > :59:17.summed up West Ham. They were sloppy defensively, poor, good play from

:59:18. > :59:21.United and it would have fell to two or three players, as you could see,

:59:22. > :59:24.who are free in the box but it goes to Fellaini who I thought played

:59:25. > :59:28.well tonight, particularly in the first half, got his goal. United

:59:29. > :59:34.were in cruise control. They were not being asked any questions at all

:59:35. > :59:39.until that point. We thought it was it at that stage but back came West

:59:40. > :59:43.Ham. They had a real go, didn't they? Tomkins. They had a real go

:59:44. > :59:46.and you expect that. The crowd were getting behind them. There was a

:59:47. > :59:49.little spell just after the first half when you thought they would die

:59:50. > :59:53.away, West Ham but they came back well and made a game of it. A couple

:59:54. > :00:02.of chances at the end and we could be having extra time. They were

:00:03. > :00:04.lacking the energy, but they got the goal and suddenly the whole place

:00:05. > :00:07.came alive and there's a bit of spark in the performance. Good

:00:08. > :00:10.header from Andy Carroll. Tomkins is brave. He would get a kick in the

:00:11. > :00:14.face. They are back into it, full of confidence, balls into Andy Carroll,

:00:15. > :00:17.suddenly getting wide and whipping balls in. Suddenly, they are

:00:18. > :00:21.starting to ask questions of Manchester United which they did not

:00:22. > :00:26.do before. West Ham went so close at the end, David de Gea brilliant, the

:00:27. > :00:30.goal marginally offside. It was not to be. It wasn't. If you look at the

:00:31. > :00:38.players on the pitch at the end of the game, West Ham were huge,

:00:39. > :00:40.physically, getting it wide and trying to deliver to Andy Carroll,

:00:41. > :00:43.and he got that chance which just went over which he was waiting for

:00:44. > :00:46.all night. I thought he played well tonight, he was a threat but a bit

:00:47. > :00:50.too late for West Ham. I thought Manchester United were much better.

:00:51. > :00:54.They nullified the threat, particularly for 77, 78 minutes and

:00:55. > :00:57.then they were bombarded with long balls. David de Gea pulled off some

:00:58. > :01:02.fantastic saves but in the main they defended very well. Manchester

:01:03. > :01:06.United to go through. Great to see you but sorry you did not get the

:01:07. > :01:09.result, Joe. We are out of time. That's it for FA Cup matches at this

:01:10. > :01:40.one that will all ground. Valencia is onside, here. Fellaini!

:01:41. > :01:47.A chance for Lingard! What a save by Randolph. Driven in by Carrick! Not

:01:48. > :01:55.far-away. Rashford, lovely feet! Oh, that is a wonderful goal! Martial

:01:56. > :01:58.hit it and Fellaini deflects it into the back of the West Ham net.

:01:59. > :02:09.Tomkins Inn, 2-1! Manchester United Got to do something about it,

:02:10. > :02:15.you know. I don't... HE RINGS BELL

:02:16. > :02:19.Don't miss my big new show!
