Man U playing for a draw? I highly doubt! Do we even know how to do that? Man U plays to win - in every game. Why would SAF even consider playing for a draw with Arsenal? Those would be 2 dropped points - not one earned.

I would understand playing for a draw against Chelsea because they are the only realistic challengers but even then I doubt SAF would/will play for a draw.

Picture this [theoretical scenario]: If we drew against Arsenal and Chelsea wins against Tottenham, then our lead is slashed to four points. If in the next game Chelsea beat us, then the lead is cut to one point with two games remaining - with Chelsea having a superior goal difference! Who wants that?

In my book, the game against Arsenal is a must win. A win against Chelsea after that and the cup is back home. As earlier stated, Drogba, Cech, Lampard, Malouda, Luiz, Essien, Anelka and crew then give us a lap of honour - now that will be sweet.

Jose Mourhino at his best:

....."The row centred on last week’s Copa del Rey final, won 1-0 by Real. Guardiola had been quoted after the game as saying that a Barcelona equaliser from Pedro, ruled out for a fractional offside, had only happened because of a “linesman’s good eyesight” and that Barcelona had lost the Cup by a couple of centimetres.

This was music to Mourinho. “We have started a new cycle,” he trumpeted. “Up until now there were two types of coaches. A very small group who didn’t talk about referees and a very large group in which I am included, who criticise referees when they make big mistakes but who are also very happy to praise the great work referees can do.

“Now, with Pep Guardiola’s statements, we have come to a new era with a third group, featuring only one person, who criticises good decisions made by the referee. I have never seen this before in the world of football!”
