FA Cup 2023/24

lol - Sir Jim looking a bit put off

Sir Ratface is thinking "Come on Haaland get your act together, liven up Foden, ffs Pep!"

 

[Spurus]

Please don't f this up Man Utd, seeing Chelsea drop down into the Conference League is going to make my day.

 

[philll]

I don't object to this at all. Chelsea down into the ECL, Newcastle out of Europe, no Arsenal in the Community Shield next season...

 

[bomberH]

I’d rather Utd in the Europa than Chelsea but not keen on Newcastle missing out completely as no Europe will be good for them. It won’t affect who they buy cos they can pay silly wages and they could easily challenge for top 4 if no Europe to worry about.

Chelsea in the conference would be funny but they’ll win it, not that it matters too much, but still annoying. With all that said, can anyone really rule out a city comeback and that would be quite amusing too.

Mainly though, I don’t want Chelsea in the Europa and Arsenal in the community shield.

 

[Marauder]

I think, if it stays like this, it’s fucks all three doped clubs? City lose, Chelsea drop out of the Europa and Newcastle out of the Europe all together.

Newcattle not having Europe to contend with is not good. We want them bothering in a backwater competition for nothing, so that they are still shit in the league.

 

[The Long Suffering One]

That Fernandes assist is a thing of beauty.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Chelsea in conference is a bonus , less prize money for them and if you win the thing what do you get Europa League the following season.

 

[Marty]

Despite what I said earlier I will concede that this is fucking funny

Yep I'm all for a united win here.

 

[Marauder]

Unfortunately, if it stays like this, when you look at the big picture, even Manure at their shittiest (no pun intended), 8th in the League, etc etc - can still win a major trophy and we can't

 

[mpickard2087]

United have been really disciplined. City look like they've been on the piss all week. Zero impetus on the ball, and the two goals were horrible defending. Dunno what the keeper is doing on the first coming out that far, and the second was just passive pressing and then lazy from numerous people getting back and United had a 4vs3 advantage running into the box.

I don't think this is some wonderous display or tactical nous from United so far, but they've done their job and the opposition don't look up for it. You take what you can get.

 

[BorjeSpurs]

 

[GMI]

That's how I'm looking at it. Plus the bonus on ten hag staying on. So it's a win win

I think ETH is gone whatever happens sadly.

 

[Johnny J]

Good game plan from Ten Hag. Frustrating City. Have they even had a clear cut chance?

United have some good players on the break.

Ten Hag will be gone whatever the result, but I still think he's likely done his best with a very bad hand of cards.

That best hasn't been enough in the league, but that club badly needs sorting out on the football side, from top to bottom.

 

[tommo84]

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but if there’s going to be a 3rd goal in this I think Utd look more likely to get it.

I think City will score, just a matter of whether they can get two. If they do, they'll go on to win it.

 

[Dov67]

I want Man U to win cos of what it means for Chelsea, but it still pisses me off.

They’ve been total shit all year but could still win a trophy, whereas even when we were really really good in the Poch heyday, we won f**k all

 

[tommo84]

This is the first bit of sustained pressure City have had. I’d like to see them get one back if only to make it as interesting and tense as possible.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Makes no difference to us whatsoever. Does not affect Spurs or what they’re trying to do under Ange.

This. Also, if "worse" sides win trophies, that should surely incentivise us even further.
