It's very doubtful Fred will start the game. He may come on near the end if we need. I wouldn't be surprised to see Berty on the right tonight.

Argh.... I'm nervous.

Come on Goons... do us proud!
 
Another fine extract from yesterdays mediawatch

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...'

Sums at Man Utd fans as well I think.

: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...

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.

So that means all United fans are like that? There's too much of a generalisation on these boards IMO.

Never a truer word said Nicky, the proper Man Utd fans I can just about stomach, the ones who have never been near OT are the ones I hate. This is really the main reason I hate them with a passion. I actually quite like the way the team play and their never say die attitude.

Here here. Well said Nicky. Every year I hear United fans moaning that the FA Cup is a mickey mouse prize but as soon as they knock us out it's like they've just put us out of the CL or something. For f-cks sake and you call us whingers?

The fact is, how can you call yourselves the best team in England when all you have to do is look at the table to find out that it's not true. A 1-0 victory with at LEAST one penalty we should have had and you think you're the bees knees :shock:

Best team in England my arse... you're bloody third!
 
Look lets be honest here, we wanted to win the treble but it just wasn't to be. However, we now have a CL quarter to look forward to tonight and its gonna be a real cracker. If we get through that its gonna get really exciting.

Compare this ManUre, they are nowhere in the league, have a Cup Final against Millwall to look forward to and are already out of Europe. They are celebrating their win over us with such joy you would have thought it was the CL final. They have beaten us in the semi of a competition their captain thinks is a just a "consolation". I think we may have got a little bit under their skin this season and they don't like it one bit!!

You have a point but the fact that we've stopped you from winning certain trophies for two seasons gives us bragging writes, its a hard fact of life.

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

Last season we took four points from Arsenal and took Our Trophy back...

This season you've pissed the league but not beat us...

We've reached an FA Cup final by beating you...

Like I said we've got bragging rights at the mo, deal with it, I watched Arsenal win and lift The Championship in my backyard and had to listen to the fans give it the biggun and slag us off, it didnt make me biiter or despise the fans, far from it, it just makes it more enjoyable when we get one back on arsenal, and it'll be the same for you.

and be honest Nicky, like I said in a post last week it was history repeating itself, it was a similar situation in 99' only we we're going for The Treble, if arsenal had stopped us from doing that by beating us in a semi would the supporters not be made up??

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 :D

lol doesnt bother me mate season gets started nice and early.

Anyway lets just wait for the season to finish, all we know for defo so far this season is that we're in The FA Cup Final as a result of beating Arsenal......
 
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...

:D :D :D Well observed!!
 
words of inspiration from our great captain....

"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."

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.

lets be honest then, we're favourites for the title every year, regardless of who wins it, that speaks volumes, but i'd say 8 out of 11 is not bad going, its unrealistic to think that we could do it every year.

Stop reaching with the money comments, we we're winning things before spending big was the in thing the to do, the fact that we've produced an England Captain thru our youth policy says more about the club than spending £30mill on a defender, look at the millions that Italian and Spanish clubs blow on players and some of them dont win anything, in certain areas we've spent big but why not we can afford it, the only reason Wenger hasnt spent big is cos the club hasnt go the money and isnt prepared to go into debt (which is comendable nowadays).

So yes this season your worth the title, we we're in control at one time but as yous no better than anyone it doesnt mean anything being top of the table until the end of May.

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:
 
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) ...

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:

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..

Well according to northstandhero in the Chelski thread, you're one of only a few neutrals that do want us to go through.
