FA Cup Final - Post Match Thread

[AliBobbyJ]

Just seen some highlights. two moments among many stand out. Kompany in that red & black scarf honouring the club's history, and how proud Mike Summerbee looked as the team went by him with the Cup.

Twenty years ago I was stood queuing at Wembley station for a train back to Euston, still wet through from the soaking on the way to the stadium. Having just seen the team win promotion from the Third Division City fans started up with "You can stick your f*cking treble up your arse", meaning what the rags had just done. Here we are, twenty years on with our own treble for Manchester City, the best team in the land and all the world. I love this club. Thank you, City.

Got on the train and we were going the wrong way, went to Watford.

Guys and gals - this is the time to sit back with that daft grin on your face. It's been a tense couple of months, hell of a title race, but now it's over we can actually sit and realise just how fucking good this team is. They're artists and grafters. Enjoy every minute, we'll be lucky to see it again.

Apparently, they have given the goal to Jesus officially, not sure how going off the half time pics that the BBC showed, that cross section one of the posts and you could see the ball was only two thirds over the line.

Not that it matters but it is just an odd decision to me.

Another 10 mins and we might have hit 8

I was under the impression that the old "Club Wembley" seats were now sold by the clubs, presumably to their own fans. Well, I looked up there after a couple of our goals today, and the lack of celebrations in a sizeable number up there told a tale.

The corporate section behind the benches took an eternity to fill up after half time. The half time Rosie Lee must have been exquisite.

And another, for the Guiness book of records.....This season Man City pissed on the chips of more opposition fans than any other club in the history of the world.
The venom being posted on social media is without precedent in it's volume and hatred.
An extremely potent mix of jealousy and barely hidden racism wrapped up in pious nonsense about "the right way", "no merit in buying success", and all the other shite that get's thrown at us, influenced in no small way by the press.
Well, fuck'em.......small price to pay for the sumptuous football we get to watch, the trophies piling up, and the records we've broken. Amen

Spending money was never seen as wrong in the past. For example Brian Clough was lauded for signing trevor francis, the first million pound footballer. Professional football was always about money. These days it's not as acceptable for some reason. Just because it's CITY.

You know fuck all about the game, for years you’ve been the same on here. Not got a fucking clue yet continue to give your views on the team selection as though you know best. Every now and then with hindsight you get one right but all in all you’re a laughing stock.

Steady on mate we've just won the treble, way over the top on blue on blue there.

The only bit I'd disagree with is the part that says opposition fans bitterness is a small price to pay. It's a huge bonus, a testament to how good we are and how they know that we won't be stopped. Rejoice in their hatred and bitterness and let's watch it increase in ferocity as we move up another level or two.

Fuck being everyone's favourite second team as they know they aren't a threat to the team they support.

Why no pictures showing its 11mm over the line or whatever?

Nice charitable ‘time added on’ too in second half - 2 mins when there were 6 substitutions and 4 goals, lol.
