Not me. CL shafted us them years as well. So did the FA/FA Cup

1 FA Cup since 1999 :shakehead:

I agree , but surely fa cup is way distant 3rd best prize after PL & CL

Not when it is paired with the PL imo.

I meant league campaigns, rather than other competitions. We mostly switched off in the second half of the 2000/01 season (Arsenal game excepted, obviously) - not good at all

And its 100% totally and utterly our own fault. We've failed to beat some absolute dogshit teams in that space of time which saw us knocked out.

Agreed. Rooney is on fire and with us losing the F.A Cup semi and everything it brought 'cos we were playing City the players know where we stand, we're close to the league title and in a with a great shout of the CL final. I can see us ending this season strongly. We've got everyone back fit at the right time.

Oh I don't know, we've had some £#%&!ing awful decisions along the way...

1 or 2. but that hardly excuses getting knocked out of the fa cup by £#%&!ing leeds and everton.

Danny Welbeck, into the area, through on goal, dragged down, no penalty, play on.

glazier out!

Still no excuse for not winning a penalty shootout.

we should have had a pen at the end of the everton semi. we was robbed. we scored against chelsea in the final. we was robbed. portsmouth brutalised ronaldo, we should had a penalty and they shouldn't have. we was robbed. rooney not playing hurt us. we was robbed. leeds I'll give you.

the FA Cup is now no different from the Carling Cup.....which of course is United's fault

I'll take it as soon as, please.

We should've been out of sight tbh because Arsenal are a £#%&!ing joke.If we somehow failed to win this title, I'd probably kill myself.

(Now there's a quandry for you eh?)

I think the moment United win enough points to make sure the others can't mathematically catch up, it's over.

you are discounting the possibility of a points reduction, then. ridiculously optimistic.

Same goes for SHalke but apparently I've fallen asleep and we won that game and have a better chance than the spanish to win the final, because it's at wembley.

Remember Easter 1992?

Or in 56 with a team whose average age was 22?
Or 52 with the team in its twilight and written off before the start of the season?
Or 57 to reclaim it with the same team?
Then just 7 years after Munich to reclaim it with 3 players who would win European Player of the Year awards.
Or like winning in the last game after going 1 down with Arsenal winning, in 1999?
Or winning in 93 with every player having scored?
Or 94 to reclaim the title and march onto the FA Cup final?
Or a record points haul in 01?
Or sealing it at ciddeh and then for Chelsea to not win the next day away at Arsenal?
Or the last game of the season in 08 with Chelsea also winning and Reverend Giggs coming off the bench to win it?
