Manchester United and Bolton booked their places at Wembley after two pulsating quarter finals yesterday afternoon. United’s victory ensured that Arsenal have been knocked out of their second cup competition in the week leaving the league as the only chance of silverware for Arsene Wenger this season. In many ways it may work in their favour, given the extra games the Red Devils are likely to face.
In the papers this morning there have been a mixed bag of stories that include Ferguson hits out at Dalglish; Mancini defends City’s preparation, while Gerard Houllier reads the riot act to his team.
