United (N) | FA Cup Final | Post-Match Thread

[SamBlue]

I had to fortify myself with a few strong polish lagers before the game, because I knew 'the decision' would hit us sooner or later ad it duly arrived. Overall performance 5/10, but who cares when there is another trophy on our shelves to polish from time to time and remind ourselves we are their bane.

Back four were excellent with Stones immense and Akanji unbelievably good. I disagree with MEN that Walker was only six, I could not fault him with anything.
Rodri standard and Gundoan deserves a new contract, a statue - a really big one - and the fleet of Mr. Whippy vans to start up a business after retiring. I am proud of myself always defending him when he was slogged off here years ago after a terrible injury.

Front four were average to under average and again disagree with MEN that Kev was eight, yes he assisted both goals, but he looked running on fumes. But again who cares, it was sufficient showing for that lot and we won!

What was a tiff between our and their Portugueses at the end of the first half, I could not see it clearly from my seat? I watched Jack's interview after coming back home, disagree with his views on foreign players and not getting the FA cup, Bernardo is nuts and tribal when it comes to a football club he plays for.

They tried every little dirty trick in the book the bent rag bastards and they still couldn't stop us. We had to battle through that today but we have a team full of absolute warriors who sweat and bleed for the badge. Feels so fucking good. One game away from all our wildest dreams coming true. Go and reach immortality boys. Our time is now.



Fucking take that you whiskey nosed pisscan

To me it feels like we are not just making history, but redefining football.

Such a sweet victory, and I must admit that before today if it was a case of win one and lose one I'd have chosen next week's game. After today though I've changed my mind. Lose next week and so be it, there will be other Champions League final, of that I'm sure, but to beat the Rags in an FA Cup final was truly special.

It was funny the way Ferguson looked at Gundo when he was shaking his hand

It was a brief look of seeing someone you know just destroyed you but also you could see him thinking what a player he is and he would've loved him in his team back in his day

Must be embarrassing when the ref and VAR are your best players. Delighted about winning but the stench of corruption is overwhelming. Hope traffic is better on way back.

I had a great run back so hopefully you did as well. And talking of corruption the VAR ref, David Coote, is an admitted united fan. It's not even remotely subtle anymore.

I still want that one next week.

If we tripped today.. I'd have called it no big deal.

Still nice to beat the rags and refs and var and pgmol and saf and beckham in 1 game.

Now gotta focus on the bigger game next week!

As Pep says - take the useless interfering bastards out of the equation - even if they are standing in the way of every square pass in central midfield.

Longtime lurker here from the States. As I have previously mentioned in one of my few prior posts, I began following City in 2000 shortly after their promotion to the PL (they were, of course, relegated one year later). Beginning in the mid-90’s U.S. papers began to publish the league table once or twice a week as interest in football over here began to grow. At that time, English football still seemed exotic to me with sides named “Sheffield Wednesday” and “Wimbledon”. Even then, the established big boys – the Rags, the Scouse and the Arse (I was obviously not familiar with those well-earned derogatory references at the time) – were unknown to me. Realizing I could not jump on the bandwagon of any of those sides, I chose City over Villa, Newcastle and Everton (my poor older brother chose Everton a year or two later). In the coming years, I began to understand that the PL was effectively a “closed league” so much more so than American sports leagues are alleged to be. Being a non-English overseas City fan did not provide much pleasure.



That being said, I want to extend my congratulations to all the longtime Blues here on the forum. Every time I tell myself that it’s just sport, I think of all the regular Mancunian posters here who endured 10, 20 or even 30 years of eating Rag shit from their co-workers, neighbors, classmates and even family members. Superbia in Proelio!

Welcome, mate.

The international Blue family is growing.

It wasnt enjoyable, was it? I must have snapped at the kids for mithearing me a dozen times when watching it. But we got there in the end, huge relief. I hate the red bastards so much. I just want to see the sad pictures of Beckham and Fergie on a nice gallery please to make my day even better.
