Did we really get it wrong?

Did you have to look "modesty" up in the dictionary?

It's a word I'm normally too modest to use tbh.

One more thing .... Neur's quotes in Germany are pretty illuminating. Seems all the Bayern players were not aware that one more goal would send City through. Neur himself was but others were still attacking in the last five minutes of the game because they thought there was no risk.

The important thing now is that we score at least one more goal than Arsenal this weekend.

I believe that would narrow the gap by 3 points.

I agree, that is the most important thing and I believe your permutation to be correct.

Shove it up the arse on sat and we're hammering another big blue nail in their coffin. One step closer

Had united done the exact same thing there would have been a thread 10 times the size of this at how much of a monumental fuck up it had been, and how inept Moyes is.

Haha. Of all the stuff written in this thread, this particular line (and you're not the first one to use it) is the worst. You do yourself and your argument no favours imo by using it.

Very surprised this is still rumbling on into today if I'm honest. I get the feeling that those who aren't bothered are happy to let it drop - but those who are bothered feel the need to be told that their opinion is ok.

Probably best just to walk away from the entire subject at this point as nothing can be changed, if there's a lesson to be learned I'm sure the club have learned it, and IMO it's time to focus on the huge game against Arsenal at the weekend.

Not at all, i've said all along the performance and result, especially ending the group with that many points, was terrific. Some posters though seem to get on the backs of others for daring to criticise the management for the gaff. As for it being the worst line to use, I think it's fair to say that this place would have, (quite rightly), had a field day at Moyes' expense had he done the same thing, but as I say I know that would all be down to rivalry and just taking the piss. I've copped for it since the interview off my united pals, and rightly so.
People should be able to say what they want, should they feel the need to say it.

I wonder if the media will go on about how Arsenal have screwed up by finishing second and how they should have at the very least won a point in Napoli? No didn't think so. Their options are harder than ours as they have Munich and not Dortmund they could play.

Ah you see ... now this is where you ( and to be fair a few others ) are losing your way a little bit. Sure if you think it was a monumental cock up, you are entitled to say so. Just as those who in return think you're an idiot/rag/spoiled are entitled to that opinion. You might find it offensive but you can't stop people thinking it, and although maybe they shouldn't be posting it and under other circumstances it'd be considered against the CoC, in this instance I can understand why it's viewed differently.

It seems to me that people fall into three categories in relation to this: those that think it's a big deal, those that don't and those that were in the ground pointing out to other blues that 4-2 was enough to finish top of the group and those other fans not believing them.

The last category are definitely the biggest blues and deserve a lot more recognition imo.

Completely disagree.

The biggest blues are not those who went on a booze trip to Munich with a dead rubber of a football match thrown in.

The biggest blues are without doubt the ones who roared their support for the team from their armchairs and sofas even when their wives were saying "it's 2=0 already why are you bothering? They'll lose and you'll be in a bad mood all night". Under great stress, they stayed true to the end.

They deserve the greatest recognition by far, and deserve to be bought beer.

Because going for a fourth goal and losing confidence have fuck all to do with each other. That post from PB is absolutely disgusting to be honest. The last paragraph is a disgrace from a mod when most people that are complaining about the mistake are not going over the top, they're not saying the manager should be sacked or anything even remotely like that. No-one is whining that we didn't put 4 past Bayern. We're moaning that we didn't try to.

It seems to me too many people want the glory of a victory when the bigger picture was to risk a draw for the chance to go all out and win the group. The thing that annoys me is that had Pellegrini known with ten or fifteen minutes to go that we needed one goal then he would have gone for it.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with people questioning what happened last night and I for one have had enough of being made to feel like an inferior supporter because of it.

It would have something to do with it if we'd have let one or two in and got stuffed 4-3 instead of winning 2-4 as a lot on here are presuming. I'd rather we faced Arsenal on the back of a win over the current champions than a stuffing, that's for sure

Me too!! Which team has had the bigger confidence boost from their midweek CL game? Us or the Arse?
Time to move on lads. Water under the bridge etc!

I agree its water under the bridge now so time to move on.
However, just think if we had gone all out for a fourth goal and Bayern had hit us on the break and scored - which they can do in the blink of an eye.
Does anyone actually think that Bayern would have settled for a draw? Not a chance! They would have come looking for the winner and who is to say they would not have got it? Think Real Madrid away when we were 2-0 up.. Just how big of a media frenzy would there have been then, not to mention the meltdown on here if that would have happened? It was truly an historic win and from it we have now joined the big boys club of European football.
I for one am still on a high from the result and can't wait for the draw to see who we get. City have arrived in Europe - enjoy!

What's your point? Had they known they would have defended better, or had we known we'd have scored more?

Not losing my way at all! That is what the forum is for - debating. One post naturally leads to another and so on and so forth. The topic will die in due course but right now, given the amount of pages and where it stands on the forum, it's still very active.
And I don't find anything offensive of this lot!
