Come on Gordon, cut them some slack..Funny isnt getting giddy over a competition that the 16 best teams in Europe are to good for.
Only the British press/media could big this up ! Utd not in the top 16 Europeon clubs, and might win a competition their didnt start in.
So not good enough for the main event, just in to make up the numbers, but just good enough not to be in micky mouse cup to start with. Once you have served the purpose of making uo the numbers in the champions league and it now gets serious, utd can fuck to their standard in the Micky mouse cup.
Exactly what they've done.I could post this in the footballs bent thread but..... 3 bookings for the rags so all now miss the home tie, but it means they are available for the semi final. Did they get booked on purpose?
If they did perhaps they assumed they would win the match easily.... But it was only 1-0 on 90 minutes hmmmmm and the rest as they say is history
Pot 4. Crazy that a team wins this Mickey Mouse cup with very poor quality of opposition and if dropped out from the CL then hardly any games to play to win it can go into a higher pot than teams finishing 2nd in a much tougher, longer, domestic leagueWonder if Gill had any input into the decision the winner goes into pot 1 ?
Should be pot 3 at best given that's the group position they attained to qualify for the competition.
That was my thought last night, they seem to escape cards more than any other team and given this round v Grenada was pretty much a bye into the semi’s , it is strange of how all of a sudden they are getting booked to wipe out suspensions for later roundsI could post this in the footballs bent thread but..... 3 bookings for the rags so all now miss the home tie, but it means they are available for the semi final.

Sign the kids up if they managed to get it on target.BBC Breakfast just showing the actual penalty kick.
The goalies attempt to save reminded me of the half time entertainment at grounds when a little kid kicks it and the goalie dramatically dives over the ball and it goes in. Kid and parents go away happy and the kid gets a big cheer.
I can't see the ref allowing our penalties to be taken from about 8 yards. But as you say we should get them signed perhaps brought off the bench for shootouts.Sign the kids up if they managed to get it on target.
I truthfully believe that is not their standard - they're not even good enough for that. They are where they currently are simply because that tyrannical despot is still manipulating things behind the scenes.utd can fuck to their standard in the Micky mouse cup.
