If he still owns Man Utd by then and Man Utd aren't the Red Devils for another reason ;) Anything on his head would be better than that hairstyle of his :erm:
I just hope that next season sees Chelsea having to work for points instead of just putting their hands in their pockets ;)
BTW if Man Utd were so much more superior.... why did they fail to score in 123 mins of open play and eventually lose on penalties to a lesser team? :dozey:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Because our finishing was abysmal but we had more possesion, created more chances and had more shots on target.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I agree with Mourinho for what he said after Liverpool won in the champions league semi ;)

Oh well... :cry:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

So who will we get to replace RVN?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

But couldn't score ;) Both sides failed to perform on the pitch, neither side were able to impose their "superiority" enough to actually put the ball into the back of the net without breeching the rules of the game.
Man Utd may have been superior in your eyes but it's not their name on the trophy or in the record book this year. Maybe 2005-2006 will be different. Until then....
Man Utd lost on penalties (which are always a lottery), Arsenal won, nothing is going to change the result so we might as well get used to it wether some of us like it or not ;) It's time for both managers to look at their teams and to start rebuilding as both sides showed weaknesses today. (RVN seems to need glasses and a stick but that's another matter :erm: )

(Oh and I don't support either team so I'm not biased either way)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Oh well, it could be worse, we could be have been relegated this year ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Yeah but they are used to it now ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Indeed, and you obviously were watching a different game.....

United were all over Arsenal. We created more chances, the number of corners were something like 11 to 1 in favour of United. The only thing which let us down was the shockingly bad finishing of RVN - the blame can be placed squarely on his shoulders.

But as you say, Arse won the cup. But it's not as if they played or even looked like winners.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Anyways, why didn't they close the roof for the match, seen as that it was chucking it down for most of it?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Apparently closing the roof causes too much of a distraction while they're playing and they thought it was going be dry, according to TalkSport.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Okay...

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Nice edit on my quote but if Man Utd performed to their abilities they would have scored since they were so "dominant". If you read my post I said that both sides failed to perform on the pitch. There is no point dominating open play if you are going to keep putting the ball into the crowd ;)
As someone once said to me
Nice to see that Man Utd fans can lose with dignity :erm: :p:

Oh and as to the roof, it developed technical difficulties this morning when they tried to close it before it rained.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

You really need to understand football better! United did not 'fail to perform' - RVN did.

He was the lone striker and the rest of the team did exactly what they're supposed to, if you forgive Carroll's early blunder.

But, if you're determined to disagree with everyone else who saw the match including the BBC's reporters, nothing I say will change your mind.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

At least we didn't hide for ages and only reappear when it was certain that they were going to finish above a certain team ;)
