Fair play, DK. Enjoy it!
City were by far the better team. Mancini got his tactics spot on. Have more faith in your team now, my friend!
Just waiting for the first goal in this 13-0 Utd win!
I'm not going to be dancing until we beat QPR. I refuse to take anything for granted xD
But yeah, love Mancini so much. I really hope the rumours about De Jong being moved on at the end of the season weren't true either, he is a hero and I love him and this "smurf the useless twat Nasri off for Nigel and let Yaya play further forward" tactic is great. Yaya such a beast, total god tier, makes me feel more and more guilty every game for being utterly underwhelmed when we signed him from Barca for what at the time seemed to me to be way too much money, especially because of his old role at Barca being primarliy a defensive midfielder and we had like 5 of them anyway when we got him. But god damn, what a legendary hero he has turned out to be.
But yeah that being said, still convinced United are going to win both their next games 10-0. I kind of just want to get the season over and done with, no matter what the result. It's getting way too painful xD
Also now the games over, really hope Newcastle beat Everton and Fulham wreck Spuds in their last games, Newcastle definitely deserve the 4th spot and Spurs are utter filth.
Also, 2-0 now, oh god. It's coming xD Manus do something about this you awful man.
I think the Swans played well and deserved a goal at least. Ashley Young man of the match was the factually wrong decision, it was in fact Joe Allen. I didn't hear the United fans over the course of the whole game. My £2 punt on the Swans to win by four goals at 1000-1 went down in a sudden realisation that that was never going to happen. That is all.
where's stephane henchoz when you need him...?
How we still have a chance at third is beyond me. Of course to do that actually requires us to WIN a game, and that's surely too outlandish a concept for the team at the moment!
This isn't a "smurf the FA Cup I never wanted to win it anyway :smug:" sour grapes post, because I did want to win and the result genuinely hurt me, but I do feel I have a legitimate question here.
Why is winning the FA Cup considered to be better than winning the League Cup? The HISTORIC PRESTIGE BBC MATCH OF THE DAY BLOP BLOO crap doesn't count, I mean as a purely footballing achievement. It is literally the exact same teams in an almost identical format. Yes I appreciate there are non-league teams in the FA Cup too, but despite the ~*ROMANCE OF THE CUP*~ or what have you they achieve smurf all every year and it hardly makes it more of a challenge. Heck, if anything the League Cup is harder to win because it has a tricky two-legged tie for the Semi.
I agree and disagree with this... I agree the League Cup is arguably harder to win, but I think it's because you're more likely to face tougher opposition in the League Cup.Quote:

I remember in Premier Manager 98 you could assemble the greatest ever team, win the Premiership, FA Cup, Champions League, Super Cup and Charity Shield but you'd be damned if you tried to win the League Cup. It was almost impossible.
(SPOILER)still a sore loser
Losing this PL title on goal difference is hard to swallow, but we shot ourselves in the foot and we don't deserve to be champions. City are rightful champions. They bet us in both ties in the league, so not really any complaints. I'm happy for the likes of Kompany, Aguero, Hart, Y Toure, the likes who have completely earned the medal. Tevez on the other hand now.
I will always remember this season for that Everton game though. :/
Because it's not sponsered by Carling. Anything endorsed by the worst lager in history is immediately devalued.Quote:

Former Prem champions Blackburn relegated. Somewhere out there, Russielloyd is crying his eyes out. And to that I say, hahahahahaahahahagaghahgahgahjagahgahjgahagha what a ponce he was.
Not like this is the first time they've been relegated since winning the league to be fair. Feel bad for the fans and for Steve Kean - he's not an especially good manager, but the club is atrociously run and I can't imagine he's had much assistance.
No, but it just makes it that much better. Mind you, this is not so much me not liking Blackburn and more just the glee of knowing Russielloyd will be raging. Not sure if you were around when he was, but god damn. He was the absolute worst. Most deluded fan who has ever posted on EoFF, I wish he didn't get banned. Well I'm glad he did, but still.
