Calm Chris Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Monkey off the Arsenal back for a while, I see it as a stepping stone. A confidence boaster. I'll not harp on about the negative posts since those are mere opinions, oddly from Manchester's second tier club supporters. I guess having nothing positive to say about their club means they need to deflect home woes by having a go at other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Which is ironic really, as I can't see Man U winning another trophy for the foreseeable future. They've fallen too far behind their peers and it's going to take many years for them to try and close the gap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Ultimately, the best team does win, to suggest anything else, or that they didn't deserve it, is just stupidity...

They have a young manager with an excellent track record of PL stability hand-picked by Fergu.....Oh. I mean - they have a manager confirmed and fast approah to the transfer market all handled in a way befitting a global....Oh. As you were.....

NewNiceMrMe Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Actually, Tipex, no the best team doesn't always win in a one-off match. I'd agree with you over a season, in a competition such as the Premier League, but certainly not in the FA Cup final. The free kick that Cazorla scored from shouldn't have been a free-kick. The corner that Arsenal scored from, wasn't a corner - it was a goal kick that the officials got wrong. The Arsenal fans will point to Hull decisions but they were nothing like as obvious as the Arsenal ones. The best team lost. The luckiest team won. The hype over a single FA Cup win is frankly hilarious. I'm beginning to think the small team won. The bigger team, Hull, wouldn't have reacted as ludicrously as Arsenal fans are!

Calm Chris Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) If Arsenal had a shite season. On top of the PL for 118 days, a difficult run through the FA Cup which was won, out the group stages of the CL, qualified for CL 2014/15, then what did Man Utd have- an unlucky season? Sacked the new manager Failed to retain the PL trophy A trophy absent season 7th in the league No Euro play next year Loss of key old boy players Well done Man Utd, long may similar performances continue.

NewNiceMrMe Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 You don't get it, do you? Yes, of course United had a shite season! However, they've not gone 10 years since winning the Premier League and 9 years since winning anything whatsoever! I take great pleasure in watching fans of other clubs thinking this is some kind of long-term demise. When they're Arsenal and Newcastle fans though, it adds to the hilarity that is the optimism of the small club fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm Chris Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Man Utd's decline made my season far more that Arsenal did. Ah well, maybe you can break FFP rules and buy your way out of the bleakness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torino101 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 The UTD fans seem to spend an awful lot of time ripping it out of Liverpool due to the fact they 'still think they're a big club and live off past glories' Well who are living off past glories now....

Twinspark Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Trust me, it's nothing compared with the 'EPL Champions if only British players goals were allowed' table I've seen posted around the place by fans down the M62... amongst other desperate straw clutching.

Waylander Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Given that you lot are deriding the winning of the oldest cup competition in world football, crowing about a one-off game for winning the title the year before is ....insert your own synonym for pathetic....

garcon magnifique Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I have never derided the FA Cup. It's the best club cup competition in football. It's just a shame that the FA, blinkered as ever to anything but their own immediate gain, are consistently doing their best to undermine it.

Twinspark Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I only see 1 person really deriding the FA Cup - and his usual prediction curse seems to have stopped Hull winning it, too Personally, I was gutted Arsenal won it, as it means they've equalled United's 11 wins now. Also think there are some players at United who'll look back on their careers and wonder how they never won an FA Cup, given that they've won everything else (Premier League, European Cup, World Club Cup / Championship, even the League Cup).

garcon magnifique Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Sod's law that the two times Oldham could conceivably have gone on to win the FA Cup it was an ultimately victorious United who stood in their way at semi final stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
