FA Cup Final - Post Game thread

I'm the least entitled fan you could meet. I still expect us to lose any game. Proper blue? Give it a rest. Accept it was a bad day and stop lashing out at fellow fans who have had a very long and disappointing day

Not lashing out, ffs, I've had many disappointing long days out but I've never gone to a game with the expectation we definitely would win.

Express thoughts but to slag the Manager and Team off makes a lot on here sound like entitled cunts.

We owe so much to our club, appreciate where we are.

The Real Madrid result this time around helped us win the title. We would have ended up with nothing had we progressed as we were running on fumes.

We'd have had a semi final against a very poor Munich.
The team we put out today in the Cup final wasn't our strongest.
Not sure why Pep changed both centre halves and dropped Doku from our last match.

But, in spite of all that, it hurts to get beat by them today.

If that doesn't cut to your heart, you're not a true blue.

Very true but also not quite. We stopped living in their shadow years ago. They have been largely irrelevant now for so long bar the odd win against us.

Times have changed, we got beat by a team 8th in a one off game. City didn’t turn up and made stupid mistakes. I wouldn’t give them another second of emotion.

We have done great again this season and like it or not the longer we are challenging for trophies the more chance we have of falling short in some occasions. The rags will always be in with a chance every now and again but let’s be honest city as a club have made them redundant these past years. Probably won’t stay that way due to their revenue. The rags have no bragging rights over city anymore. Destroyed their legacy and made our own.

Season is done. In a few months we go again. Turn the noise off and ignore the bullshit from the media.

We still needed that big push especially vs Spurs. The Champions League would have been an unwelcomed distraction.
 
We approached the game like any other Premier league game....

United approached it as a final. They left everything on the pitch. Celebrating tackles. Running for everything.

We were slow and predictable. Sideways crab passing.

The team has been immense this season but approach, and seemingly fitness (too much celebrating) left us second best today.

Next season may need some new impetus. Some new faces with big characters needed to take over the mantle from the likes of Stones, KDB, Bernado.

My original post was simply "Just got home. What a rubbish day". That's it. Nothing else. So if you want to have a go at so called entitled fans, at least pick the right ones to have a go at.

Charter train got in early, now on the Altrincham tram full of Nicki Minaj fans from the cancelled concert. Nice to look at though lol.

I had a couple of lovely ladies who had been to the Chelsea flower show on my train! £70 to get in to look at flowers. £16 for a Pimms!

There was one positive today. A pre match couple of pints in the Euston Tap! Quality beer that at a fairly decent price. The day soon went downhill! :-)
 
United - megabucks club - spend way more than us - but play like Brentford. Yes, we were massively well below our best, but we were still the better side than the rags by a distance. How times have changed - no more 'attack, attack, attack' chanting - they're prepared to accept boring, long ball, park the bus Brentford style tactics (you can understand the reasons why Brentford play like that).

Most annoying thing is that it was completely avoidable. We let those fuckers off the hook. We should have treated it like another league game that we needed to win. Same team as against West Ham wins easily IMO.

100%, we play better under pressure. Also , anyone else think that we’ve been a second-half team this season compared to previous seasons, where we’ve been quick out of the blocks and scored a couple of early goals. Today we were so pedestrian in the first half.
I think Pep needs to think about creating a new playing style because many teams now seems to play with a low block and we end up struggling to get Haaland in the game.
 
Just got back in, a proper lacklustre performance today numbed by the number of pints I'd drunk from 9am onwards. Nobody deserves a motm everybody well under par and Pep deserves shit tonight for fucking up with the back four, why oh fucking why play Stones and Ake as a centre half pairing for the first time ever?
 
Bloke on the coach from Wembley told me he sits near Pep's dugout. Some of our less tactically savvy fans yell 'Forward, forward, get it forward!!' at our players and Pep usually turns to them and more or less says 'No, no, no, not what we do!!'
