Sounds like he had a really good game then.

Maybe to a Liverpool fan

He did alright in getting to the right positions, he just couldn't finish his chances. If he could have then it would have been a fantastic game for him.

He reminded me of Mo Salah's beginnings

Man U players celebrating a meaningless win. How pathetic.

Hopefully Spurs knock them of the FA Cup.

 

I have to admire United's ability to leave rival fans salty, Lol.

Not very hard to get salty when you win through blatant cheating. Borderline criminal penalty on Aguero that should have been a red card, instead Fernandinho and Aguero are booked. United gets 17 fouls their way in the game, anyone watching would agree most of them were pathetic dives for timewasting (though eventually the City players lost their shit, with good reason, and started fouling for real). Several United players could have been sent off, but nah, nothing.

Smalling's offside goal is something I'd otherwise let fly because it was a really close call, but on a day like this it's hard to overlook.

Keep in mind I was "rooting" for United today.

 

Edit: also love the stuff you have to celebrate.
City - league and league cup titles, one of the best teams in the world!!
Liverpool - Champions League semi-finals (potentially)!!
Manchester United - we make people salty!!

Even Arsenal with their Europa League run has something better to talk about. But that's always been the pathetic nature of Manchester United, really - to rile people up and laugh at them rather than focus on themselves.

Typical Liverpool supporter, United may win another FA Cup funny how you avoid saying that maybe it's because they schooled your mob at Old Trafford. Another thing they can celebrate is still being the the most successful in the EPL they even dethroned your sorry lot years back to do it and if they win the FA Cup they'll pull even further ahead.

They rile people like yourself up because they're successful end of and your post is nothing more than salty nonsense because they've still had more success than your own team in recent years so think about that when you're harping on about working on themselves because they're going to finish above you by the looks of it and have a better chance at winning a trophy as well with only City being able to out do them that sums up how rattled your statement is maybe you should try follow teams in countries where you actually live.

Fixed

Man City gave the match away anyway, it wasn't mou's geniusness that ruined the day.

Do you really want them to win that cup though? If I was a Man U fan I'd want them to lose spectacularly all season so that we'd get a new coach that would make watching my fave team play without falling asleep possible.

Whether they win it or not doesn't bother me as I'm a neutral when it comes to clubs I just like the sport, Mourinho's style is the set up to not lose which tactically is very consistent but for those looking to be entertained is understandably irritating, it's in stark contrast to Fergie and Bubsy's styles which were entertaining but lived a bit on the edge a number of times.

I just see it as a unique chapter in United's history and one that they'd prefer compared to how the post Bubsy era went as they're still challenging this side of the Fergie era.



If saints play as well as we did at Arsenal against Bournemouth, Everton and Swansea, we might be okay but we haven't done that against all the other teams around us so why start now huh?



Hmm, pie.

So who's going to the world cup in June? My trip is pretty much all finalised now. Fan id on the way and tickets should follow later this month.

Would you rather win the FA Cup and get relegated or stay up but go out of the FA Cup?

I only ask as I work with a Swansea fan and he'd take relegation and a trophy every day of the week. His reasoning being that he's used to going up and down the divisions every so often, but winning a trophy is a rarity (for many clubs at least).



Relegation is a lot of money lost though when it comes to TV rights and such and to top it off a trophy maybe a rarity for teams but it's not guaranteed you'll return no matter how used to it you are look at Sunderland for reference they may actually drop into third tier and they've been up and down for years.

It's better to stay in tier 1 than win a cup and drop out because years later that cup win won't make up for anything if you can't make it back.
