Saha:

"It's been a nightmare for me - I've said that before. But I have to forget it and try to play football now and this was a good win.

"Scoring goals is a bonus. It's a great feeling."


Ferguson:

"It was a good start to the second half - I thought the presence of (substitute) Wayne (Rooney) helped us a bit.

"But maybe we should have had a couple of goals in the first half.

"Park Ji-Sung has been so close in so many games this season - it was a great goal as well.

"When you are in the semi-final of any cup you must go for it. We'll certainly give it a good shot this year.

"Last year I thought we were very unlucky against Chelsea in the semi-final but we'll certainly give it a good shot this year, although it depends how we are in January and which team we will play."


Steve Bruce:

"It's going to be a tough winter but I'm confident we can pull through.

"The way we finished the first-half, to start the second-half like that was a great disappointment.

"Two goals in four minutes has killed us with that little bit of quality."

When asked about getting barracked by his own fans after he acknowledged chants from the United end:

"I have been here four years as a manager and two years as a player.

"I have been here nearly as long as I was at United and the Birmingham fans know what I think about this club. I don't understand [the allegation] that they reacted like that, not that I'm worried about it."
