FA Cup Final - Post Game thread

Why sympathy ? If you look at it properly the rags finished 8th with a minus goal difference.
Rags threw away a 3 goal lead in the semi final and needed VAR to cheat them into the final.
City should of had two penalties in the final.
It need City to have a brain fart for them to score.
I fail to see how this is positive.

Take away VAR and we play Coventry in the final.

My Coventry mate is still pissed of about it.

The rags are coming out of the woodwork and getting giddy. Kin hell they couldn't win the fa Cup without outside help lol
Just listened to a small segment of Football Daily with Mark Chapman sneering at the City players walking past the fa cup and saying 'this is what you could have won'. I couldn't listen to much more, especially with Dion Dublin talking crap, as usual, but at least Chapman redeemed himself a little by praising the City players for giving the rags a guard of honour as they collected the cup.
 
Oh and Shearer was a fucking massive bellend. Particularly creaming himself over uniteds 24% game dominance denying his beloved Toon a European spot, he can get fucked.

I didn't follow the commentary on telly so I imagine he might have been annoying. If you say so, I take your word for it.
But actually I've always found Shearer generally pretty sound in relation to us, by comparison with many other pundits. It usually helps that he doesn't “support” a team who are in direct rivalry with us. The Liverpool, Man United and Arsenal pundits are always suspect on that count. And Micah seems to be bending so far over backwards to be “neutral” that he actually comes over as hostile to us.
 
Quite, we were never gonna win, establishment didn’t want it, trade off, lose cup to the rags and get off FFP charges, no other explanation for team selection and such a shite first half, just don’t get it! 45 years a blue and that was the most disappointing game I have seen,
The way we played in the first half on Saturday we might not have beaten Coventry!
 
Bang on mate, I felt like getting involved on Saturday at Harrow because I'd had about 5 pints by the time it was going off. But you realise it's just not worth it when as you say you could end up not coming home, you could get nicked, lose your job, so many pitfalls.
The one thing I'm not getting about that incident is where the fuck were the police. They must've known that having two pubs allocated to rival fans was only going to go one way, but they were nowhere to be seen. This brawl could've gone on for ages and it was only when the lad was layed out on the floor that it calmed down
I was in the Trinity bar and couldn't believe there was no police around till 3 turned up when it was nearly over.
We moved on to the Arch where it was a brilliant atmosphere.
Just blues enjoying themselves.

Hopefully Clown keeps his job and they remain as shit as last season
It’s great how United now rate the FACup ( the one they withdrew from) as a bigger prize than the league
How times have changed
 
i reminder if it was needed of how they always revert to an arrogant entitled demeanour whenever they arent completely shit. hopefully the win ensures they go full over the top this summer snd start the boom bust cycle all over again
Get that shit off here

Shearer had a prickly moment with Ten Hag after the game when they asked him if the media criticism of their season was correct. Ten Hag came out with his usual excuses about injuries but Shearer came back at him. Lineker was funny as well interviewing Dalot when he said that they can’t use injuries as an excuse for their poor season. Lineker piped in ‘well your manager just did’ which was pretty funny.

I was in there until just after 1pm… what did it kick off?
 
I was disappointed that Kev came off, don't get me wrong, he was very poor on the night but he really is one of those players who can pull an absolute moment out of nothing and considering how poor pretty much the whole team was playing.... Just felt like it's one of those games where you keep a talismanic player like that on till the very end.
Watched him go off and thought we're fucked now.

I probably saw you there mate, was that the pub just round the corner from Trinity?

Ha, the three coppers casually strolling past the pub like nothing had happened
 
peps worst game EVER for us.

Not one of his greatest but by no means his worst ever. The champions league final against Chelsea has to top Saturday's game.

I thought he'd learnt by now not to fuck about with the team when we have momentum and are winning, as we did in our last eight games. Aside from injuries leave it be. The team that started against West Ham should have started the final. There is no guarantee we would have won but I'm sure our defence would have been stronger.

Football at the top level is often about small percentages. After a superb effort to win the league everybody switched off and relaxed. I'd go as far as to say complacency crept in. Why not? The rags we'd beaten fairly comfortably in both league games, they were a bit of an inconsistent basket case. Battle hardened Blues knew better. A rat is never more dangerous than when cornered. They knew we were the better team. They'd heard all the hype, how they had no chance, how they could be thrashed. They had nothing to lose and everything to gain. 90 minutes to salvage their season and prove the critics' wrong galvanised them..By the time we realised we were in a game we were 2-0 down and shellshocked. We lose the odd game like this in the league, look at Wolves away, but we usually have games to make it up. In a one off cup game we don't.

Also such has been the mockery and downplaying of the rags we forget they are a squad assembled at a cost of almost a billion pounds. Full of internationals and quality who when they turn up and ride their luck can give anyone a game. Ask Liverpool. It helps when they get a ref like Madely who favours them and hates us. I was at the game and haven't watched any of it back since, but it looked like we were denied two good claims for a penalty. I'd say they were never going to be given. They were already pissed off with us making history by winning four titles, no way did they want a double double. Also they have to keep the rags relevant for viewing figures. Underdogs Manchester United, full of honour and tradition defy the odds and beat that state owned 115 charges cheats Manchester City. Oh the magic of the cup! We know how these things work.

Still four times champions, super cup winners and world champions. It's not been a bad old season all things considered.
