Pleased as punch: Saha celebrates his winner against Middlesbrough to take Everton into the FA Cup semi-final[LNB]Louis Saha is relishing the prospect of an FA Cup semi-final showdown with his former Manchester United[LNB]team-mates, describing them as 'just amazing'.   [LNB]The French striker headed home the decisive goal for Everton [LNB]in Sunday's thrilling 2-1 quarter-final victory over Middlesbrough at Goodison Park.   [LNB]Saha then allowed himself a nervous laugh when he watched the semi-final draw that paired his new club with the one he left last summer.   [LNB]'I know Manchester United well, but even I am surprised at what I am seeing from them at the moment,' he said. 'They just keep winning and winning. They are hard to break down, hard to beat and they have so many great players.   [LNB]'And with a manager like Sir Alex Ferguson, there are always good new players arriving each season, and the squad is amazing. Players can be moved in and out of the team and the wins keep coming. Even without their really big stars they can get the results they want.   [LNB]'They have so many great players on the bench. When you are able to bring a player as good as Carlos Tevez off the bench, it really is incredible.   [LNB]'I have only been away from the club for a season, but things have moved on even from my time there. Now they have Berbatov to bring in, it is amazing the strength they have right through the squad. [LNB]'United are just amazing. The great players they have and the big squad, they seem to win all the time. We know it will be hard in the semi-final, and I am really looking forward to facing my old club and the friends I have there. But I also know we can win at Wembley.'[LNB] Tantalizing Tevez claims Championship Manager's player of the weekend[LNB]Everton 2 Middlesbrough 1: Saha saves the Toffees to book semi-final spot[LNB]FA Cup semi-final draw: Everton to test United's Quintuple challenge[LNB]EVERTON FC NEWS FROM ACROSS THE NET[LNB] [LNB] [LNB]
