Cursed them !

The right team lost

Congrats to both

City's Captain should have had a hatric but I'm sure he'll settle for the trophy and the fastest ever FA Cup Final goal utter magic...

2 strikers in the summer, among much else, please.

Maybe the need for Mason Mount is clearer now.

He’s pretty consistent.

^ Ericcson needs replacing, but Mount is pretty similar to Fernandez. He'll be a good player to bring in though, as long as he's not too expensive. The midfield to attack transition needs more, and Mount plays in that "space"; might end up being a great player in the right team.

^^ yeah, that's fair enough. But:

1) City are different gravy, they just blow teams away; they can embarrass just about any team in the world (on their day). Every midfield struggles against Man City - they are just too good in that department, and with a style of play they all know and have been at for years.

2) Man U have come on loads in one season. The new manager has done an excellent job. There is a style of play developing, still some way to go and more players gotta come in, but Man U now look like a solid top four team (they were an iffy top 8 team for a few years...).

Next season, you have Man U, Arsenal, Newcastle and perhaps Chelsea and Liverpool if they sort out their problems, as well as Brighton and Villa (could Tottenham even start to play well consistently? No, now I'm being ridiculous), as well as City - should be an even better season next year.

"German wins title" ...

Sad to say, I agree and another nail in the coffin for those teams who will never get the finding that ManC and some others do (though looking at PSG - sheesh)

Really proud of the team and the manager. I couldn't bring myself to watch it yesterday, but I feared the worst once I heard City had scored. We fought back though and gave em a game.

A 3rd place finish, 1 trophy and another final. It's been a good season. Next year, let's challenge for the league.

Re City: they're the best team in the world, but everything they win has an asterisk next to it. Never let the fuckers forget that.

2-1 down in the cup final and we bring on...

Wout Weghorst and Scott Mctominay!

Maguire
De Gea
Telles
Bailly
Williams
Fred
Martial
Weghorst
Sabitzer

Thanks for putting a shift in and enjoy the rest of your careers (although I think we'll have De Gea for another season still).

They've surpassed that Spanish national handball team that pretended to be blind to win gold at the Special Olympics.

Every fan of football knows that every trophy they've won is null and void. They've won nothing.

Umm...that would be clubs whose accountants haven't cooked the books.

Have you somehow lost track of the story?
