The build ups been top, I've got my nephews for the weekend and they can't believe how things used to be

Proper trip down memory lane

Utd should be in this, such a missed opportunity:shakehead: The easiest cup draw in years, beat Arsenal at OT and it was almost a bye to the final. Yeovil, Cambridge, Preston, Arsenal, Brighton, Boro, Villa.

That's what happens with Valencia and Smalling at the back I'm afraid.

Not sent off "despite being the last man." How do people who are supposed to know better still use this phrase?

Anyway, it wasn't a sending off. Agbonlahor had let the ball run behind him at the moment of the foul.

Or when the manager panics at HT.

It wasn't Van gaal that played a perfect through ball to Balon mate.

No, but his subs at HT removed any attacking threat that Utd were showing, Blind plus an unfit Carrick next to the slug that is Fellaini, removing Herrera cut off the link between the midfield and attack.

£#%&! me, we still had a Labour government back then

Does the result of this matter to us with anything to do with Euro seeding or anything?

Ok, but you're citing conjecture and the unknown. Plenty of times this season we have looked a different proposition after half time than before, even when no changes were made. The league game against Arsenal being one of them. That speculation will never trump the actual act of putting a centre forward through on goal to concede the goal that loses the game. A manager could make sound decisions and lose a game because of two or three incidents of calamitous errors and people will still blame him. That's because ultimately, the result determines the story; but no tactical decision will ever overcome a good old fashioned £#%&! up.

RAWK are seething about this

Its 1-0 to Inverness CT against Falkirk in the Scottish FA cup final, in the (admittedly unlikely) event anybody is interested.

Wrong way round jem.

Tony gave it away. LVG magnanimously didn't blame him.
