I had a very good feeling that Sevilla would do them. Contrary to the 'expert' punditry opinion that the first-leg was a good result for Utd, I felt that but for De Gea Sevilla would have won quite comfortably and that they would take that goal threat to the second leg. A 0-0 draw away in the first leg is always a dangerous result in this competition.

I always enjoy Utd defeats and this has been the best for a while. The reaction to it all, from Mourinho and the pundits, has made it even better.

I'll second that.

And add, there's a warning here to all of us who have supported City through think and very thin: we must ensure that the young and those who are new to our club truly understand that success is not a right and football is about more than just winning trophies.

Thank heavens that we have owners who have a well thought out strategy and the means and will to develop a style of play that will both entertain and deliver silverware whilst all concerned remain humble.

I hope we have learnt our lesson from 2012 when we had our foot on the swamp rat's neck and took it off as they squealed. This time ignore the squealing and press and stamp until they are ground out of relevance and existence. No mercy or pity I want these fuckers gone!

If you think they will ever change just look at their reaction when we lost to Wigan. Silent for weeks then all over social media celebrating our loss. I told them to make the most of it because it doesn't happen often these days.

As for educating those coming after us every blue needs a picture of that banner to show them. Then explain how a club who at that time were the most successful in England and Europe on occasion weren't satisfied with celebrating that. Oh no they had to mock and taunt their neighbour's who were infinitely poorer than they were and at that time had no chance of competing on a level playing field with them. Not only that but the odds on their neighbour's ever winning a trophy or playing in European football again were almost zero. This was also the same neighbour's who allowed them to use their ground when their's was bombed in the war. The banner was also allowed with the full approval of the people who ran that vile club. Never forget.

The club used to take the banner down for concerts and put it back up afterwards, which shows how complicit they were in its continuing display. Interestingly, around the same time, any banner remotely criticising the Glazers was removed post haste.

Not forgetting bailing them out pre-war when they didn't have a pot to piss in. They weren't called the rags for nothing - BY THEIR OWN SUPPORTERS.

We were in Europe in 2003/4.

I too had a great deal of optimism following the first leg and thought Seville might go through with a score draw. The utterly abject shameful demise that they treated us to was beyond my expectations. For their season to be anything but a complete disaster they now must finish top 4, win the FA Cup, and avoid getting a spectacular humping against us.

Sadly its quite possible they will do all three. Against us they will park the bus and try to keep the score down. Add to this the likely scenario of us not playing our full first choice team with CL games in mind. They will probably manage to win the FA Cup via Brighton, Wigan and a lubed and bent over Tottenham.

There is of course a hope that last night will cause a downing of tools by the team if Peg has pissed enough of them off which is not out of the question. Should this scenario come to pass we will be getting some serious laughter for the next couple of months.
 
I have to say that GPC is wholly to blame for where Ushited are now! When he decided to retire and named Moyes as his successor, he should have had Moyes working under him, showing him everything about how to get the best from his team, as he had for the last 20 years. But when he cleared out and Moyes replaced all his backroom staff, there was no continuity, so Moyes built the team around his tactics, as did LVG and now PEG. I'm hoping with PEP and Txiki we are putting the groundwork in place so when Pep moves on we keep playing football to his ideas and standards and the manager to replace him will come from his backroom staff - Mikel Arteta? I think we already see that through the academy now, playing the same way so when academy players make the step up, they're already know what is expected of them in terms of formations and philosophy.
