What do we reckon for the League Cup semis then?
I have a feeling Arsenal will turn over Newcastle and get to the final. Seems like the Geordies are already planning their Trafalgar Square piss up...can see Arsenal shocking them.
As for Spurs, I think that lead from the 1st leg is absolutely vital for them. Can see them battling for a draw at Anfield, and progressing to the final.
A NLD in the cup final would be a sight to behold. Bit of a lose/lose for us whoever wins.

City defend like us.
Man City for the FA cup, nothing else to play for.

Fancy City to do Real tonight.
Huge game at Goodson tomorrow, really can’t see Everton losing.

The headline on the BBC last night Man U get through with last minute winner... No mention of any controversy..
We all know that wouldn't have been the headline were it reversed... It would have focused on the wrongly given goal.

Amorim wanted to start in the summer & should have stuck to his guns
Obviously he wants players to play his way but that’s going to be difficult
Understand they have PSR woes plus a lot of players he wants to shift are on big money & wont give that up.
AWB earlier in the season was a good example … bought for £50m sold for £15m & they had to give him £5m to go away
Also they aren’t first in the queue for the top players any more
Players would rather go to Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal & even others

That and all the talk would be how Man U were cheated out of it and how it affects THEM

Can you imagine if Leicester had scored that goal to win it?
Too cynical to imagine the Lino would have found his flag if the clubs were reversed?
Am sure the ITV execs were punching the air as they can show another Man U game in the next round

Hard to say, Potter at Chelsea was called a fraud nearly every Weekend football thread on here with every bad performance... But he's here now and nobody thinks that.. Arteta was called it at Arsenal, Howe at Newcastle...
Bournemouth were ridiculed on here for sacking their manager and employing Iraola, so hard to say isn't it, may need time may just be the wrong fit.
Yea we know, you told us all this just a few days ago.
Well of course you'd know you're one of those that do it most
You slaughtered Iraola.. But the question was asked again so I answered it again.
Oh and I questioned the free kick ridiculous.
I love the way the ITV panelmentioned it said it was a definite offside and then went on to discuss Man U as usual and their future prospects like it was Man U TV, the way every live football programme does, this offside will be forgotten about quickly, but if it were the other way around would be a story about in on the BBC for most of the week, because it's very rare there isn't something about them on their page daily.
Amorim buys a coffee. Have your say. Do you agree he should have had an Americana or would it be better for Man U if it was an espresso?
Bruno Fernandes takes his bins out. Have your say. Is he using the right bin bags to propel Man U back to glory?

Yep, wondering if we might have dodged a bullet with him.
Although to be fair we were hit full-force by the Howitzer that was Loppy.

Awful decision, Leicester were dominating for the most part of that match.

Really leaves a nasty taste in the mouth this, shocking for the lino to miss it, but it's done now and as hard as it is you can only accept it's happened and move on, absolutely gut wrenching though. Also, I've not seen it said elsewhere but I thought the handball award for the initial free kick was harsh. As shit as Man Utd are now I think I'm right in saying they still score a lot of late goals to win matches, certainly at home anyway. Cunts.

Such a basic thing to miss too. He was in line with them, with the ball and players starting from a static position. Guaranteed that would have been flagged at the other end.
The only positive from that is that the media will be screaming “they’re back” and they’ll continue to fuck up.

The VAR introduction has made all top level officials worse. Linesmen just punt most weeks now knowing VAR will sort it out, so when they don’t have it, they are all ends up.
Or it was Man Utd in the last minute at Old Trafford so he gave all five that were in offside positions the benefit of the doubt, whoever got on the end of it

Classic case of a lino with tiny, tiny gonads. He should never officiate at that level again

They were offside before he took it, when he took it and when they scored it.. How can the lino miss that, always behind them.

On the one hand, I admire Amorin sticking to his principles. I also don’t mind his honesty.
But he has set himself up now. If he doesn’t drastically improve next season after a full window and preseason it starts to look arrogant not to change tact and accept what worked in Portugal doesn’t work in England.
He might have signed players for us suitable to his style, but his system would have been a disaster with our current squad!
