Football 2020/2021

Dropped my son off at King Power this morning for the coach to Wembley. So, so pleased for him that he had enough points to get a ticket. Underdogs again - but it would be great for our city to get the euphoria of 2016 back again!

Fair play to Leicester City. Seeing the fans, players and owners reaction at the end there was absolutely fantastic.

Congrats to Leicester. Thoroughly deserved. Poor selection from Tuchel. We didn't deserve anything from the game. Second game on the bounce now. Need to get our shit together for these final three games or else that honeymoon period is well and truly over.

I would like to see that offside again.

Jealous as fuck.

Even when united were shite in the 70s and 80s we had a good record in the fa cup, now we do not seem to take it seriously. 

Great scenes.

Hearing Linekars voice breaking with emotion was fantastic.

FA cup winners should get a Champions League place.  Coming 4th should not be celebrated more than winning a cup.

Whilst I do not agree totally as you could have easy runs. For example when united beat Milwall in 2004.

Round 3: Aston Villa 1–2 Manchester United

Round 4: Northampton Town 0–3 Manchester United

Round 5: Manchester United 4–2 Manchester City(when city were average)

Round 6: Manchester United 2–1 Fulham

Then again you make a good point, as it would give the cup a bigger importance and teams take it more seriously.

That was not offside.

[rock the clock]

VAR is shit but that was defo the right call 

[pink_triangle]

I hate VAR and would happily live in a world where that goal was given. However on this occasion I am glad the system was there! Chelsea have massive financial advantage over Leicester which in my view is a much bigger factor than a marginal decision.

The better team won and I think it means more to clubs who gets the experiences less often. I also think after winning the league last time in Vardys house, they deserve their moment on the pitch.

Expected better from Chelsea they propose bossed citeh to reach the final.

[rock the clock]

Will be an interesting couple of weeks. Of course if they miss out on top 4 + lose the big final then things don't look that great, but I still think Tuchel has done an amazing job at patching up clear holes in the team. Maybe they've been figured out when it matters most

Let's see if they manage to propose bossed the propah Citeh team in the final.

Perhaps this weeks league game will turn out more important to chelsea.

He has but we've looked more pre Tuchel these last two games... 

[jyoung]

Grim day, what with the booing of players taking the knee. Tuchel calling it a lucky goal? I don't like that at all... I remember with Conte, when we had it right, it was electric. But when it went wrong, he was useless. Obviously too soon to say with Tuchel but today is a huge disappointment and his reaction is going to be massively important.

Interesting tables, I'm sure the home one will improve if fans can get in next season.

If ever proof was needed of how bent the game is now in favour of the big boys our disallowed goal just now is all you need.

Fucking c**ts.

[jyoung]

FFS.

That's the funniest thing I've seen since Divok's goal against Everton. 

 

Astonishing!

At least that went to VAR. We didn’t even get that courtesy.

Fucking bent.

“Shall we look at VAR?”

”Nah, it’s against Liverpool.”

”It’s over the allocated injury time, shall we let them take their corner?”

”Yeah, it’s for Liverpool.”
