Manchester United

In a weird way, it's also nice to see them struggle as it only reinforces how good Fergie was - he often didn't have the best squad over the last 5 years but still contended to win the league every single year.

I always used to say that as soon as fergie is gone, united will be a mid table team. It was obvious the team's success was down to fergie due to the lack of quality players in the team.

They really were tulipe last night. I've said it before, I can't understand what people see in wellbeck. I'd forgotten he was on the pitch in extra time. Fletcher was poor - giving the ball away too often, but that might have been down to being tired given his long lay off. Moyes is trying to get a new left back. I'd say that he should look for a right back while he's at it. Most of all though, given how piss poor we have been, why the hell does Zaha not get a game? Ashely young has been terrible this year, but he still gets to play, so what has Zaha done?

I do indeed find a lot of Moyes' decision very strange - Ashley Young has been appalling in every single game but continues to get the chance to play. Surely Nani is a lot better even with his inconsistency. Then there is Rafael who is a liability at the best of times. Kagawa would definitely get in ahead of Ashley Young too. The team are at best an average one when both Rooney and RVP are absent (Utd quite unlucky to have them both off injured at the same time though).

Myself, just like the majority of Manchester, are loving the plight of the Trafford Red Sox at the moment. David Moyes, you are a football genius.

He has finally managed to get Everton above United in the league table......

It's a cunning ploy to deny Man City the pleasure of scoring 6 against them in the final...

In a poll a bit back by Rightmove, it stated that 55% of mancunians supported United. So the majority might well not be enjoying this season. If you are suggesting that the majority support city, a team that fails to sell out their little ground, then I doubt that very much

Are they though?

Discounting the last couple of seasons (1 with Utd and 1 with Arsenal), RVP was famous for long spells out injured. I think Utd we lucky to have had him fit for a whole season last year, this year is more like the usual RVP.

Let's wait a couple of years and see what %-tage it will become

So a poll with a sample size in the hundreds, that used the definition as Manchester to encompass all of Greater Manchester (Bolton, Wigan, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, Bury, etc) that also lacked any means of quantifying what a fan was is a defenitive verdict. Ok.

City, regardless of what you’d like to believe or not, have sold out their ground of almost 48,000 for each and every league fixture so far for the past couple of seasons, which has prompted the planned expansion to 60,000. Without the expansion, that’s the 4th highest in English football. Considering we have the highest domestic football attendance record, outside of Wembley, that shouldn't really be a surprise. I'd also like to point out United's highest attendance was also a game at Maine Road. Not too bad for liddle Citeh.

Still, given you couldn’t find your way to Manchester from the home counties without the use of Google Maps, never mind Old Trafford, I think this is pretty much lost on you and, if anything, shows why Anyone But United, is probably the football team of choice for the vast majority of neutrals.

Graceless in victory; embarrassing in defeat. You enjoy this season, because I certainly will.
