Manchester United v Nottingham Forest : Match Thread : EFL Semi-Final 2nd leg : 1/2/23 8pm

Looks like a divorced dad who booked Amsterdam for a weekend....

Eric has some interesting decisions to make for the final.

De Gea or Heaton

Fred or Sabitzer

Martial or Weggy

Er yeah it was a stonewall mate. I can only guess that the VAR ref was away having a ciggie break

Just seen the video of it. Jesus Christ almighty. If that was on a Sunday morning it would have caused a free for all. How on Earth is that not
Given. I’d be £#%&!ing livid if I was Erik I wouldn’t. Be able to contain myself at full time

Nailed on penalty but we no longer get penalties! Forest tried to rough us up but came out second best. As for the ref. It took him until about the 40th minute to actually award us a free kick. The one I didn`t get was the pull back on the touch line in the first half when he played on and there was no advantage?

Ref was rubbish. Out of his depth.

Wembley.

A nice easy mid-week stroll. Felt nice seeing those three attacking subs come on.

That £#%&!ing woman though

He looks like some kind of gargoyle from wythenshawe and that’s a compliment to the freak.

still fuming the absolute @#%&!s

Sancho looked lean and sharp. Could be a great addition to the team.

I can accept the odd poor game from a ref but last night was levels above. Absolutely shocking calls all round.

or, alternatively, constantly took up good position (but was ignored by the like of bruno going for goal) and scored.

He scored because he £#%&!ed up a very simple pass to Rashford.

He was just standard Martial. Showed you glimpses of what he could be, but utterly infuriating and very sloppy most of the time.

It was mental. Seems to be every game now

How wasn't that a penalty on Weghorst? Seems like VAR is only used now to suck the joy out of goals, seeing what they can do to disallow it

Also, the Forest fans were £#%&!ing shit last night

The full repertoire of championship songs were aired

Is this a library
Your support is £#%&!ing shit
You're not famous anymore
Is this a fire drill
3-0 and you still don't sing

Ironically, not singing about their own team. Mutants

Looking forward to the final. Last time we won this and the EL, seem to recall plenty of reds being massively underwhelmed "shit trophies" etc.

The years of failure under Ole hopefully mean there's much less complacency when it comes to winning trophies now.

I'm hungry to see success

Did feel a little underwhelming last time tbf, coming so soon after that magical FA cup win, and didn’t we finish 6th in the league that season?! Dark days.

It felt like we jibbed the league to focus on the cups. This season feels much more like it represents progress.

This. Absolute nothing trophy. Will take it, obvs, but let’s not go re-writing history.

Haven’t City won it 5 of the last 6 years because absolutely nobody else gave a £#%&!? they were winning it by accident.
