Consolation Prized
Watching Roy Keane celebrate wildly on Saturday, Mediawatch was reminded of a passage from his autobiography: '...the FA Cup is nothing more than a consolation prize, an afterthought...'

:roll: feck me you's are getting some mileage out of this, your in a 1/4 CL tie tonite and top of the league and your still bitching about having your skirt pulled up at weekend.
You've even resorted to quoting extracts (out of context) from a book written a few years ago, thats just desperate and sad...
But Yes The FA Cup is a consolation prize cosidering we are Favourites to win the league every year (regardless who won it the year before ) but wow some consolation, we beat our bitter blue neighbours and The Champions elect to get to the final, if you'd had half the schtick we've had over the past few weeks you'd know how satisfying it is to beat what Seb Blatter called "the best team in the world" (well we already know he talks shite) and reach the final of the oldest club comp in the world...
So c'mon goons show some class...
Nickybaker said:But Vann I don't think you realise how bad the cockney reds are. On Saturday I had a Utd fan act as if Utd had completely ruined our season when we still have two trophies to go for. Last season i was celebrating another FA cup triumph and had ARROGANT Utd fans telling me you can keep your FA Cup and leave the real trophies to us.
Those kinds of double standards from the Utd fan from Bow are the main reason I really to despise Utd and want to see them lose no matter who they play.

Last season you won the FA Cup but not by beating us so it had nothing to do with us either way...

I suppose our 2-0 win at Old Trafford in the 5th round has conveniently slipped your mind??

:oops: :oops:
my bad, its not like me to forget stuff like that...
In that case Nicky, whoever gave you stick about last years FA Cup should have been sent packing!!
lol who said we are nowhere in the league, lol, for a team used to being runners up to us for so long I'd thought you'd be more understanding..
No class

IceMan_Bergkamp said:Funny thing that just came to mind is that don't ManYoo remind you fellow gooners as the 'New Liverpool'? :roll:
Reading many of Sunday/Monday's responses made it more lucid. Man U are the new Liverpool. It's the only thing that can explain Saturday's over-reaction to getting into the FA Cup final (they've not even won it yet).
The fans have even reverted to harping on and on about their past glories (you'll never win the treble) 8 out of 11, etc etc, like Liverpool supporters constant rants about being better than Man U because they won more European Cups.
I was a bit 'floaty' on some super greens when i wrote this.. but it's just my contemplation...
"It is part of my job to be positive and lift the team, even though we have other great players like Sol [Campbell], Martin [Keown] and Dennis [Bergkamp] who do it too," he said.
"I am not someone who talks a lot. I think the way you behave in training and on the pitch is really important. That's the way I try to lead the team.
"It was quite difficult to come into training on Sunday as we still had the cup tie in our minds but now we are focusing on this game.
"We know how strong we are as a team and we still have our two biggest targets to aim for."

Butatista said:Yeah buts lets be honest here, you should be walking the league year in year out with the financial clout you have got.
We have been punching way above our weight for years and shouldn't be anyway near you, the fact we have been competitive for this long is an achievement in itself and testament to what a fine manager we have. He has a net spend of approx £40 million. Your "star" centre half cost 3 quarters of this. Even Spurs have spent more than us and look where they are.
Our transfer budget is laughable compared to yours and yet here we are, finding ourselves 12 points ahead of you. You may have won the battle but we will win the war.
Vannizzlefashizzal said:Anyway goons, I'm looking forward to tonite, first time in a while that I can sit and watch a CL 1/4 final with an english team without getting twitchy about it, Chelsea are the most hated london club by United supporters and I'd hate to see them "buy a trophy" so I'll be supporting you's tonite (all be it quietly) ...
Vannizzlefashizzal said:[To me though your still big time charlies, for all the talk and bravado that comes from the goons camp (or is that camp goons) the team in its ENTIRE history has never won and defended a title or won a european trophy, granted that could all change this season (well the european bit anyway) but until it does, know your place and dont throw rocks at the throne :mrgreen:

Butatista said:Your comment about us not retaining the league is completely untrue, check our history, its in black and white. We have also won European trophies, but again you alter the facts to suit yourself.
Oh and by the way, football in England was played before 1993 you know....

I was only going off comments made by arsenal players, last season Viera said it would be a special achievment to retain the title as it hadnt been done, similar comments from the arsenal players about europe..
forgive me for not knowing the arse history :roll:
Well according to northstandhero in the Chelski thread, you're one of only a few neutrals that do want us to go through.
Ey Nicky dont be shocked at my comments about tonites game, im not bitter, its hard to watch a football game without supporting one of the teams, you's have never really bothered me but I really dislike Chelsea..
