  1. Wembley again?published at 18:36 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January 2015

    Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal learned the hard way that teams from the English lower leagues should not be underestimated on their own patch after MK Dons thrashed them 4-0 in the League Cup. However, a banana skin was safely negotiated when they beat Yeovil in the third round.

    Before that match he used a Dutch saying, "Death or the Gladioli", to describe the "all or nothing" attitude lower-league teams take into cup matches like this.

    Cambridge may be the lowest-ranked team left in the fourth round but they are a club on the rise. They ended their nine-year spell in non-league by winning the Conference play-off final last year - one of two triumphs at Wembley they enjoyed last season.

    Lower-league hopefuls against Premier League royalty. Multi-millionaires against men who have to make do with just 'a very comfortable' income.

    Argentines and Colombians against ex-Northampton, Bishop's Stortford and Royston Town players. Louis van Gaal against Richard Money. This really has got all of the ingredients for a classic FA Cup tie.

    It's no wonder Gary Lineker and the crew have rocked up really is it?

    Ten years ago, Cambridge United were relegated to the Conference after 35 years in the Football League. Worse, they went into administration, had to sell their ground and were facing going to the wall.

    Times were hard at the Abbey Stadium - but the U's have bounced back.

    Back into the Football League last summer, back into the limelight tonight thanks to the FA Cup visit of Manchester United.
