Hey.......it's only a game.......not like it's life or death or anything.........

Both teams (in fact all the teams) will get another chance next year!

Must be talking about an Arsenal or Forest fan since I can't recall being in this thread at all before today

Edit.
Good thing I preview my posts or I wouldn't have seen Russ's post explaining things, still doesn't help when you quote me while talking about another member though , especially when you are trying to explain the first occurence lol

Sorry Paul, it wasn't directed at you, just certain other fans.

I was just replying to your quote about utd fans losing in dignity with a dig at someone else at the same time

Mal · 21-05-2005, 21:09

That's what's funny.

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

I also suppose it's going to be a LONG time before we get a league game to see who's the better side out of United and Nottm Forrest.

Oh hang on, we don't need to wait for the league game to work that one out....

How's about TOTALLY missing the point?

sorry , just my weird slant on things , why is it always we/us when at the end of the day it is just something that ppl like to support

Don't worry about it too much, you seem to make a habit of it

Hom3r · 21-05-2005, 22:06

Arsenal

Russ · 21-05-2005, 22:10

I suppose we should take solace in the fact that the Arse have only beaten us once in open play during the last 9 times we've played them

Yep, and he will be heading back quite soon

I have a feeling he might be in the hot seat at OT after Fergie.

No thatÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ Â¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢s right United usually win after 94 minutes.

Anyway, I welcome back all the Arse supporters who've been quiet lately

No need for the welcome back as I have been here all along.

As for Scholes and Ruud I think they go straight to the top of Glazers for sale list.

Maybe Lehman should have been man of the match - after all, he was the only thing that kept us in it...

That with Man U lack of ability to score you mean.

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?

As I said above Man U Buccaneers.

Also says it all really they could not put the ball in the back of the net legally in 123mins of open play but eventually lost to a team that could put penalties away and a goal keeper who could save one.

Agreed

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

edit: taken from the BBC's report:

Yep United were all over us and bad finishing from your so called top class strikers were to blame but on the flip side top goal keeping and resilience kept us in it.

Because prior to kick off both teams agreed the roof would remain open.

See above.

But it will happen if as soon your team up north becomes successful team and becomes a viable business option.
