Wullie Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Absolutely typical that we've played in several semis/finals and not a single one of them was when we were any good. Closest we got was Robson's semi against Marseille and that had been a shit season despite finishing fifth (sound familiar?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Saw that earlier. f***ing disgraceful. How did Keegan's team not manage to even get as far as a semi final man? We've only done well in the cup with s*** teams. We have two years in the top 2 with class teams and get nowhere (96 and 97), then we have 2 finals with s*** teams (98 and 99!) (against double and treble winning teams no less). Never got near with Bobby apart form his first season when he'd not built yet, then his first season gone and we're in the semi with Souness!

Superior Acuña Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The closest felt like vs Chelsea in the semi final for me. Then Lisbon. Oh god, Lisbon. Yep, the Chelsea game felt way closer to me than the two actual finals. Never felt we had a chance. But though midtable, there was a Bobby belief around the time of the Chelsea semi, and we shouldve won that game, then we'd have been expected to beat Villa. But we did have luck in the previous year's semi v spurs. I console myself with - we may have fucked up in the final against Villa, which Id never have recovered from and, this is really scraping the barrel, but I'd be a bit annoyed that the FA Cup we won was the * one where ManU didnt participate.

Sima Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 The closest felt like vs Chelsea in the semi final for me. Then Lisbon. Oh god, Lisbon. Same. I was at a foundation event a couple of months back and I asked Rob Lee what felt closer, 96 or that semi and he thought they were very comparable.

leffe186 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Players waving imaginary cards at the ref. f*** off man. Seen it 5 or 6 times tonight. Hate this. Aren't we still supposed to be giving out automatic yellows for this? Actually, you can add this pet hate - rule changes/reffing priorities that are announced with a big fanfare then quietly forgotten a few weeks/months later, whereupon everyone just carries on with the same snide, cheaty stuff we were trying to eradicate.
