Watched the game in a pub (which is alwways a bonus, but can distort your perception - particularly of the second half!). I thought is was a pretty decent game of football for an FA Cup final. It was a fairly good performance by United, who dominated throughout, much against expecations. City were poor,perhaps they thought they just had to turn up to win. Might have been hard for them to get out of second gear when the team has this attitude. It might have been a big game for the fans but feel it wasn,t for the city players. Even the odd shots of city fans near the end of the game didn,t show great disappointment on fans faces or kids crying as i have seen in the past.

Even got a thread titled Bert on Bert which relates to City fans kicking off with each other. Supposedly according to them it's quite a regular thing when they make a Wembley appearance.

Did you know the American actor Yul Brynner was a lifelong Liverpool fan and he also never used aftershave at all in his life? That's right,Yul never wore Cologne!

Decided to pop on there because of this comment. Fell down a rabbit hole and found this. Sums up why I hate them more than the red lot these days. They aggressively claim our town as their own. And yes I know it's about Foden but it's all part of their Stockport is Manchester schtick. These same people will slag off and denigrate our town and then pull stunts like this.

I presume the black bin liners they're waving about represent the A6 but also double up as sick bags?

I wish they'd all f*ck off back up the A6 to Lancashire, where they belong.

Decent, casual watch that also shows the limitations of xG. Some chances are given a ridiculously high xG because of where on the pitch the ball hits the player but it doesn't seem to factor things like the ball coming at a player late through a crowd - Diasi's chance - or being absolutely leathered at someone so it's more of a block than a shot - Palmer's chance and several others.
Some absolute shockers in there too though!

Possibly their lawyers think it would be better for them to take the fight to them first.

Possibly their lawyers think it would be better for them to take the fight to them first. So they're suing the league over the collectively agreed rules of the competition they agreed to when they entered it? Obviously these restrictive rules have really impeded them as they've only won 6 of the last 7 titles. And where is this irrefutible evidence they have? Surely they should have been cleared by now by it?

They've got the most expensive lawyers in the land, I find it hard to believe this is the best they could come up with. Their argument is that they shouldn't have to abide by rules that are agreed by all member clubs, which is the most basic component of every sporting league there is.

What a farce, boot them out. Probably the first step to a Euro super greedy league if they do of course.

Any kind of Super League would rely on having big clubs in it, having literal billions to spend isn't the same thing. It's like our non-league days, Salford and Fylde outspending us on a fraction of the supporter base. x.com/StretfordPost/status/1780954353987366921
