FA Youth Cup winners: 2-1 win v rags, match thread / Thurs 14th May 2026

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Makes you wonder how their more odious fans get the 899 gold dust tickets , when 69,000 were on the waiting list

Way too far to travel on a Thursday evening with only a weeks' notice for the other 68,000

The fucking commentary Mike Minay and some twat called something Virgo, Thought I watching MUTV not our world-famous unbiased National broadcasters ;-)

Even worse with Lilly Savage on the pitch at the end with the commentator.

Aw at least the red noses can have their moral victory ey

Yeah the rag fans were so class that at full time when the players went over to clap the away fans 95% had already fucked off

 

[WickyWain]

I was impressed by 4 & 5 at the back and 6 in the defensive midfield. Not sure of the names. Rags fans pathetic but I guess the youth cup is their best shot of a trophy. Who was the ref, Simon fucking Stone? He was dreadful

5 was Jake Wain :)

Good to see the BBC relegating this story down the page! Rag win it would have been ahead of the golf!

City really didn't get the memo. We were supposed to let them host it and also lose it.

I thought Liverpool were their main rivals. Ha ha. Non stop songs about little old City. They are fixated on us.

They'll all be on Sad Cafe today spending hours explaining to their fellow fuckwits why they're not bothered about us.

Took the paedo loving mardarses about 10 minutes after the full time whistle to move it down the page.
If the Raggies had won it would still be the main article followed by a dozens of articles from Big Nose and the "fanatical" Rag who used to write articles for Rag fanzines about how great the Rags are, and interviews with each of the latest new Bryan Riggs.

All I keep seeing is propaganda about how much bigger and more physical our team was. As though we're a team of giants and that's why we won. Savage was on about it and loads of excuses from rags on my X timeline.

Apart from 2 or 3 short arses on their team, they also had the 3 biggest units, with the LB, CB and striker.

Only Braithwaite, Floyd Samba, Heskey and potentially Lamb / Drake could be considered 'units'.

Great to win. But could see that the nerves got the better of us for the most part.

The smoke up Gabriel's arse is unbelievable. PR in full flow. McAidoo is better.

The best player on the pitch. And incidentally, talking about units, one of the smallest. I hope he can make the transition, but you never know.

It just shows you how deluded that bunch of sorry misfits are .... women, kids, and families everywhere at a under 18s final, and that bunch of scruffy Salford cretins think they've done a good job spouting filth and obscenities all night !

McAidoo is far better ..... that Gabriel kid might as well have not even been on the pitch.

 

[TravisBickle]

McAidoo and Doku on the wings is going to be carnage in a few years!!

 

[Eaststander1]

Well done City u-18s. I was very impressed with McAidoo. City played much better football than Utd and in the 2nd half their pressure counted. I think McAidoo could be playing on the right in City's first team next season.

I said after that Exeter game that McAidoo's debut was one of the best for a youngster that I'd ever seen at City, and I'll be astonished if he isn't in the first team squad soon, on a regular basis .... him and Heskey ran United ragged last night ..... aside from their goal, United only really got into the game in the dying minutes after the City boss had withdrawn all his front players and we were left with no attacking outlet.

The media always blow smoke up the Rags arses so it's nothing new there.
Mainoo is another overhyped Rag, they just can't help themselves.
All you need to do is look at which club the winners of 4 of the last 5 winners of the young player of the year awards started their careers, the number of academy graduates who make it, and the amount of revenue generated by the club for selling academy graduates to other clubs but looking at and reporting facts isn't something the Rag arselickers in the media are capable of doing.

Yeah I thought those subs were a mistake - it brought them on to us for the final few mins (which were longer than they should have been due to that incompetent count of a rag ref) and would have been a bigger problem had they scored and took it to extra time

Fucking hell, they're still cryarsing about it.

 

[Ric]

Imagine being upset over a list of names being read out.

 

[supercity88]

Darren Fletcher having a right whinge up about us "over celebrating".

Serves you right for using us to coach your kids you rag fucker.

Saw some Utd morons moaning on Twitter that we’d signed all of our players from other clubs - whereas in fact 7 of the 11 starters have been with City since they were U8’s
