Rags and their FA Cup Curse?

I was reminded again this week of a so-called 'FA Cup Curse' that was said to be inflicted on the Rags after they dissed the old lady by not competing in the 2000 season. Now ive heard about this several times over the last 7 or 8 years or so, and always thought it was a joke- but is it? We had our own so-called curses years ago at Maine Road that seemed to get under the skin of some of our players, and Big Mal famously was on the receiving end of one being 'exorcised' in the seventies, so does anyone believe this is true?

To remind those that may not have heard, the tale goes that a curse was put on the rags after Alex Ferguson withdrew the team from defending the cup in the 1999-2000 season. It was that 'Manchester United would never win the cup at Wembley ever again', and it was proclaimed by a 'unnamed prince of hell'. Seeing Rooneys face on Monday night made me think he believes its true!

Well it could be said the curse has run its course already- the original Wembley stopped hosting FA Cup finals in 2000! The rags did win the cup in 2004 but that final was played at Cardiff.

Anyone out there believe it?!!!

That would make it a Wembley curse and not an FA cup curse. I don't even know why I'm bothering to answer because it's complete fucking bollocks either way.
 
Anyone just see the rag on mastermind? Humphries made him lose by asking him the longest questions possible in the general knowledge round. The times are a changing. Tick tock
 
And there was a question about MP which mentioned a premiership and cup double

Nice touch that by the blue who obviously works on the staff

If there is one there, it might be worth applying to go on, with your specialist subject as man united seasons 2013/14 to 2014/15 and just give ridiculous answers or piss your sides at every question that mentions anything to do with any of the embarrassments they have faced.

Q: Which ex manager of the Dutch national team joined united as manager in summer 2014?
A: Louis Van Gallardyce

Q: What was the name of the resurgent supporter-led campaign originally started in protest at the club's takeover by the Glazer family?
A: Save Our Dave

Q: How much money did united pay to sign angel di maria which was at the time, a club record?
A:Ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
 
Mike Keegan says United have 3 deals tied up already with Ed Woodward joining the 21st century and doing groundwork in advance. Any guesses?

Depay seems nailed on unfortunately
A midfielder like Strootman or De Jong
A defender like Hummels or the impressive Feyenoord boy Kongolo (his brother plays for us)
