FA Cup Final - Post Game thread

[Vic]

Caught in the wrong positions because Rodri, of all people, gave them the ball back in midfield. We were playing catch up from that point.

There was plenty of time to "catch up". No-one bothered to try.

Well, that was a shit night's sleep.

Slept OK considering, driving up and down the motorways all day helps. The state of driving nowadays. Two crashes on the M42 caused delays on the way home. A two car bump and an artic T boning a car. How does that happen on a 50mph restriction?

Also, there is no better proof that an intense season like this can absolutely break a person (ie, the players) than some of the batshit crazy posts from today. The pressure post treble, the constant 115, peps future. It’s exhausting. If we’re this crazy/reactionary…and we didn’t even play these games…

Supporting City is not for the faint hearted. It never has been an easy ride either in the past when we didn't have much to fight back with or now for the reasons you mentioned.
But it helps to know they are scum always have been always will be.

If the takeover was winning the lottery then bagging Pep was the cherry on top.

So bloody annoying, three Cups, I know , but couldn't beat a mid table gang of hoofers who play the same way as90 per sent of the league against us!!

 

[nellyonthewing]

Essentially Pep treated it like a Community Shield not an FA Cup Final/derby/double opportunity
The players responded in kind and in doing so took the gloss off their incredible 4th .
Expect the same in August at Wembley.

Feel even worse this morning!

There's 3 types of posters on this forum.

1. The 'take it as it comes' and have a philosophical outlook to wins and defeats.
2. The 'lash outs' who blame everyone and everything for stuff going wrong.
3. Then there's the 'lash ins' who blame the 'lash outs' for lashing out.

You're number 3, btw.

But he is right.

As are the 1s. The 2s are the issue.

100% and the FA Cup is the most overrated competition in the world.

Like everything in the UK , tradition is holding it back, Abide with me, FFS

Tradition is not a bad thing, whoever seems to think a shite dj playing obscure tracks is somehow entertaining in a huge bowl is missing the point, I remember 1981 and being in the ground once the turnstyles opened, yesterday with 15 minutes to go the ground was 2/3 empty, it was like both sets of fans find Wembley utter shite

totally agree, terrible nights sleep, so annoyed

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Yes that’s why we lost. Our ultra professional manager and players spent all week in Spoons.


Ffs. United were better. We didn’t turn up.

Same here. Thought I’d gotten over it but it was obviously the alcohol numbing my senses. Can’t help but feel like it’s spoilt the whole season

 

[Indaparkside]

Just had a shower going for a walk to the old town to clear my head, full of Irish rags here
Oh well could be worse will be touching 25 degrees soon

The tradition and history of the FA Cup us what makes the tournament so special and why winning it means much more than winning, for example, the Carabao cup.

Its the best Cup competition in the world and the modern gimmicks do nothing to add value to it.

It wasn’t our day and the first half was a shocker. Credit to Doku for cha going the game and we could easily have taken it into extra time with the chances we had.

I was a bit shocked at some of our fans leaving from 15 minutes to go and our support on the day was bang average:

 

[hilts]

This was a refresher, a reset, a reminder, a side note and a gentle nudge to tell us all that the fight continues.

No it was a loss of the FA cup and never done before double double. It was much more than a gentle nudge. Supporters are entitled to be a tad pissed off with that game as will the manager and players.

The clappers are a special breed of weird though

Tradition holds things back and sadly we in UK are living in the past.

That pre match "entertanment" was a cluster f*ck.

Get a grip, man! We’ve just done something no team has ever done and probably never will again. You’ll feel fine in a few days, I guarantee it.

I agree, the one thing I find amazing, it’s the most historic cup competition in the world, and has become the most dis respected competition in our country, largely because of the premier league, I am shocked that because sky monopolise everything else they havn’t approached the fa and got hold of it, and re invigorated it, pumping millions into it, it should have big prize money for clubs, for reaching the latter stages, and maybe 20 million for the winners, it could become great again, but I think it will further get lost in the scramble for elite European leagues

 

[hilts]

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.

Sorry to break the news but you don't owe them anything, they don't do it for you:-)
