FA Cup Final - Post Game thread

[Betterdeedthan red]

Glad I don't go out drinking with you guys so.

Why you know nothing about me or who I hang about with.

Had a good day out despite the result and the lack of effort from our team. Clearly the league celebrations should have been banned until after the cup final. Frustrating, but find it hard to be pissed off at my team which has done so much in recent years.

Sadly saw trouble from both sides, but both incidents I was in at wembley park and at the services on the way back were instigated by rags on the wind up, one of which they targeted a kid and blues responded.

Also got my foot runover by a wheelchair in the concourse, bloody hell! No trophy, didn't recognise the team and three purple toes this morning to boot. Still, it was a laugh. If I only followed this club for the wins then i'd be in trouble given I started going in the 80s!

outside of BM I’ve avoided all sports media since the final whistle yesterday. Will watch the Leeds play off game later, then just wait for the news of ten Bob getting sacked which will throw them back into chaos. Assume they will sack him on Tuesday when they return to leaky towers unless ive already missed it.

We beat West Ham on Sunday and the drinking went on until at least 5am on Monday morning. A ridiculous way to prepare for a Cup Final on the back of a long, hard season. Why couldn't they do the drinking celebration tonight ?

The players were back in training on Tuesday. That's 5 days to recover from a night drinking on the Saturday after winning the title and 4 in a row. It wasn't drinking 5 days earlier that cost us the game. It was not playing our best team, and our two best centre hallfs that have been rock solid in the title run in. Not playing Doku from the start was another mistake. He's played really well during the title run in. He would have given us the extra width on the pitch and a real attacking option.

At least in a couple of years we'll be able to play cup finals at "the people's stadium" in Trafford, that all of us will be paying for.

Got to admit to thinking the same. I still can't believe that the 'national stadium' was rebuilt at the back of an industrial estate in a scruffy north London suburb with poor road access, rather than just off the motorway network in the Midlands.

Everything about it is depressing. If they wanted it there they had to bulldoze the shit hole and modernise it and get one major direct road to it and out of it.

Really bad day at the office against a side that it's been absolute men v boys in the 2 league games. It's entirely on us that result yesterday.

I'll be honest and say I'd have no problem if Utd played out of their skin and seen us off royally. In reality they just had to play a bit better than they usually do and we helped them along.

Some of the commentary yesterday about it been one of the greatest shocks in history was bizarre, how much have the rags spent, and are they seriously comparing them with Wigan?

that is down to our pathetic media whores who always throw their support behind the " plucky underdogs " ffs

 

[Gone for a Burton]

I'm a fairly regular drinker, and staying up until 5am would write me off for at least 2 days!

These lads don't drink, so to have a binge like that might hit them even harder.

All for them having a few beers etc but thought they could have saved the celebrations until after the parade as they tend to have a do following that.

Anyway, it may not have changed the result anyway, but we've certainly given ourselves an excuse, albeit a poor one.

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL & a bad image for the players and club with a derby cup final still to play for another record.

I'm disappointed that the manager authorised it and that the same suspects were pissed at 5am.

If the piss heads want to abuse their bodies and shorten their careers let them do it AFTER the last game.

Jack in particular is at the cross roads,not first choice for City or England.

The group captains need to lead by example and clamp down on irresponsibly that harm the team and club !!

Honestly I hope they all feel fucking pissed off. We deserved nothing yesterday. We weren't unlucky, they were just piss poor. They deserve a break and bit of time off. Winning the league was immense but this fucking final defeat should be fuel to the fire... added motivation. No victims feeling sorry for themselves once they've had time to come round.

Hope they do something next year like they did with the 4 in a row this year. They had a sign in the training room that said, "nobody has won 4 in a row...yet"... Next season they should put a picture of those red twats holding the cup (specifically fernandes as hes the biggest prick of them all), next to a picture of Arteta (celebrating beating us at The Emirates) next to a picture of Real running onto the pitch after the penalty shoot out. Turn pain into ruthless motivation. If they want me to mock up such a picture, I'll do it for a handsome fee. Forward this to the club please
