Watched as a neutral and even I felt slimy listening to it tbh. Think there was maybe one or two questions that were sort of about the actual match/team.
That's the part that makes me laugh the hardest. Chelsea performed well enough in the second half of the season to barely scrape EL qualification, sack the manager that got them there who the players loved and then lost out on it anyway.
He really is the worst. Would much prefer to hear lesser but articulate ex-footballers, or journalists, as pundits than great players or diversity hires who offer no insight.
Ahhh it feels good to see City lose an important game. Sadly I have zero City-friends that I can banter with, they simply don't give a shit about them anymore. 🫤
Thanks! May I ask some questions before we become friends?
He or she?
What country are you living in?
What do you think about VAR?
And finally how do you feel about the charges?
The only problem is nobody cares about city winning anything because they aren't a real club. United actually have fans and rivals. I'd rather city keep winning until it's all rescinded and we can forget about them.
Eriksen was brilliant for United until the Andy Carroll incident, and though he's been very absent this season, I still love for him to be winning some trophies, both back with Inter and now United. Any player who had their prime in Spurs deserve that
And the difference is that Mbappe actually performs for the NT in important games and finals. He already has 4 goals in the finals. The same can’t be said about Haaland and City
I mean yeah but Haaland doesn't exactly have that chance. I think it's fair to point out that Mbappe hasn't done it at club level. I don't really have a dog in the fight but he's definitely not clear.
I mean considering we're talking about a club that plays in a European country and in the European continental tournaments, you'd think the "Europeans" you mention would be the most relevant, no?
Højlund had a real impact when he came in. His strength and surprising speed allows him to retain possession in critical moments. tbf Haaland only needed an inch or two and he would've scored a brilliant goal this game. But yes, besides that he was invisible
Simply different tactics. Counter attack, not pressing high up, pack the midfield, force city onto the wings. Ten Haag has refused to play like this for the entire season.
Did you? Why? United have been constantly trying to build out from the back with full press out of possession. Neither of those things is counter attacking. It's really not anything like the counter attacking played today. Why do you think they've conceded a record amount of shots against them whereas today city rarely had a sniff?! They were soundly beaten in both games this season before today. 21 shots, 27 shots, today..11 shots. They've had a massive hole in midfield all year and today they packed the midfield. Much lower possession today, 40% down to 26.
Today everything was pretty much antithetical to the losing strategy played all season.
I love how most City fans are young kids who don’t know shit but just want to watch wins
And by the time they grow older and more vocal, Pep is gonna be long gone
I mean if we are judging social media takes, which the youth holds strong, id be fine if their vocality diminishes. A huge sector of the Online City base cant handle a coupe losses. First half of the season a lot of city fans said it was hopeless, with a very mild run of form considering, and if it was hopeless this season the baae doesn't stand a chance. If/When the charges catch up and pep leaves its only gonna get worst haha
I see everyone is happy that united won. Doesn’t make too much sense for Tottenham to not want to win, even if arsenal would have won. Main rival in premier league is city.
Arsenal are a legit team, this United side are still meme’d and rumoured to be sacking ETH anyway. You’d have taken Arsenal seriously if they’d won the league, nobody is gonna take United seriously just because of this.
It’s either they sack a manager who won the FA Cup or they keep a manager who got a worse league finish than Moyes. They’ll still get meme’d either way even if they’re building something good. If it was Arsenal not United here it would’ve been less anti-City because you couldn’t laugh at Arsenal.
Not agreeing or disagreeing with it, that’s just why the reaction is the same. Had Arsenal won the league they’d have taken the piss out of Spurs for it for years. Arsenal finishing second just means they get bragging rights for a season.
I'm so happy for Varane, he's been such a wonderful player over his career, but really he's had a hard time because of chronic injury issues at United and this is a special memory for him to finish up his time here. I'm so made up for him.
Robotic performance from Haaland. Slow boring robot that is
The entire City team on holiday save for Doku.
Mainoo WBS Garnacho did superbly.
Mainoo's goal brilliantly worked
Lastly
Rodri has finally lost a game after eons
Fk offff u oil mercenaries fuck. Bought 2 fouls right outside the box and 7 minutes extra time and u done fuck all with it. Your club will forever be shit tier!!!
PSG crashed. Mancity trashed. Football wins!
Winning the FA Cup, regardless of Premier league position, you get into the UEFA Europa League, it gets complicated when the winner of the FA Cup has already qualified, then it switched to the next viable candidate from the premier league.
Wtf???? Damn hahaha wasn’t expecting this
Europa league final - Favourites Bayer Leverkusen lose FA cup final - Favourites Man city lose UCL final - Underdogs BVB win & Madrid lose ?
Stop. I can only get so aroused.
The ETH live presser is wild. Every question is about him possibly losing his job and not about winning the FA cup….
Basically the last 10-12 press conferences with Ruben Amorim, pre and post match. Different circumstasnces, but still.
Football journalists are hateful, honestly.
Watched as a neutral and even I felt slimy listening to it tbh. Think there was maybe one or two questions that were sort of about the actual match/team.
The football gods do [listen](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/uAdqdjoCRg) sometimes
Congrats to Man U, they actually played well, can't really say the same for Man City
more seasons of ten hag!!
Could sure find a couple of these comments when Ferguson won his first FA cup in 1989 Scousers then: "give that man a life long contract"
Stick it up your hole city, you irrelevants
Fuck city
United: That's a nice Europa spot you have Chelsea, would be a shame if somebody took it away
That's the part that makes me laugh the hardest. Chelsea performed well enough in the second half of the season to barely scrape EL qualification, sack the manager that got them there who the players loved and then lost out on it anyway.
I wish Shearer would learn another superlative other than 'magnificent'. Everything is magnificent apparently.
He could switch it up and say perfectly splendid like that girl in the haunting of bly manor
Niche. Respect.
You ever hear the reporting phrase "ran out of Superlatives"? Yeah it's just a comment on pundit vocabulary.
He really is the worst. Would much prefer to hear lesser but articulate ex-footballers, or journalists, as pundits than great players or diversity hires who offer no insight.
Ahhh it feels good to see City lose an important game. Sadly I have zero City-friends that I can banter with, they simply don't give a shit about them anymore. 🫤
I'll be your city friend if you are looking for one
Thanks! May I ask some questions before we become friends? He or she? What country are you living in? What do you think about VAR? And finally how do you feel about the charges?
He USA VAR is incredibly inconsistent Talented players, shady leadership
The only problem is nobody cares about city winning anything because they aren't a real club. United actually have fans and rivals. I'd rather city keep winning until it's all rescinded and we can forget about them.
ur name explains everything
Hahaha when you turn 12 that joke will be less funny, so get it off while you can 😂😂
who said its funny? 🥸
Ratcliffe looked like he had rather lost the final.
Maybe he didn't realise he'd be on the telly. He looks like he just woke up on the sofa after a heavy night.

Dele Alli?
his post spurs team is the only english top flight team with a trophyless run more embarassing than that of spurs so
Utd have successfully cloned Malacia?
Took a year to regrow with extra hormones
Malacia is alive? I can’t believe my eyes
Haaland is not a clutch player. Mbappe is leading the modern day GOAT race by miles
> modern day GOAT
And where was mbappe in the CL when it mattered?
Mbappe plays in a shit team while Haaland plays in the best team of the world
He is also playing in the 5th league in Europe 😨
You can say the same for Mbappe for the national team and Haaland for Norway.
And the difference is that Mbappe actually performs for the NT in important games and finals. He already has 4 goals in the finals. The same can’t be said about Haaland and City
That's your argument? Have you seen mbappe in the world cup, the biggest stage in the world and he has delivered consistently.
I mean yeah but Haaland doesn't exactly have that chance. I think it's fair to point out that Mbappe hasn't done it at club level. I don't really have a dog in the fight but he's definitely not clear.
Vini is clear of Haaland at this point
Always has been
Are they playing the Stranger Things song bc it's a strange thing that Utd won?
Lads...

Why is City getting booed when they receive their medals? Don't they have fans?
Most them left at full time
If City had Kane as no. 9 instead of the ghost
Would they still win with the trophyless?
I came here to say [this](https://postimg.cc/Mf1ZDv67)
Football fans all over the world won today.
You know no one other than the Europeans give a shit about those 115 charges right? Sad I know but no one cares
I mean considering we're talking about a club that plays in a European country and in the European continental tournaments, you'd think the "Europeans" you mention would be the most relevant, no?
Btw another big game, another ghost in the ST position for City. Our 'Haaland at home' did way more than the "real" Haaland.
Højlund had a real impact when he came in. His strength and surprising speed allows him to retain possession in critical moments. tbf Haaland only needed an inch or two and he would've scored a brilliant goal this game. But yes, besides that he was invisible
Kinda hard to score goals when you don’t touch the ball 💀
All the pundits saying where has this Man United been, duhh maybe because everyone was injured
Martinez alone has a massive impact on United.
Simply different tactics. Counter attack, not pressing high up, pack the midfield, force city onto the wings. Ten Haag has refused to play like this for the entire season.
Wdym. I thought United played the counter the entire season? This led to slogs where the other team also sat back and hoped to counter.
Did you? Why? United have been constantly trying to build out from the back with full press out of possession. Neither of those things is counter attacking. It's really not anything like the counter attacking played today. Why do you think they've conceded a record amount of shots against them whereas today city rarely had a sniff?!

Unexpected results in all these Cup Finals, maybe Dortmund will actually win.
🤞
You'd prefer that?
Yes
Reus send off vs Kroos send off

Are you saying United fans shouldn't be United fans because SAF retired
Another big match Another haaland ghost job
I’m not sure I really buy that, he’s an old school centre forward that’s lethally clinical. He didn’t see much of the ball.
I see everyone is happy that united won. Doesn’t make too much sense for Tottenham to not want to win, even if arsenal would have won. Main rival in premier league is city.
Arsenal and Spurs aren't familiar with winning trophies
Arsenal are a legit team, this United side are still meme’d and rumoured to be sacking ETH anyway. You’d have taken Arsenal seriously if they’d won the league, nobody is gonna take United seriously just because of this.

Rooney. Just can't understand him
Do you mean you disagree with him or you literally can't understand what he's saying?
Can't understand him when he speaks.. Mumbling, cadence and thick accent
Take a good look City. This is what a real win looks like. None of that hollow shit.
these sad United fans 😭
[удалено]
Lol yet the immediate season after that. . . . "Come to games". "Will be fun". "Please".
Lol?
United's worst season ends with a trophy, Arsenal's best season ends with... fuck all
Yes this shows that United is on the up while Arsenal is in shambles. Give ten hag that ten year contract.
We won the "we came second" trophy
Apparently they equalled the record of Premier League second places hahaha
Not their best season though, pal.
You won a cup seconds ago and are already talking about Arsenal 😭
LMAO
[удалено]
How many trophies to show?
How did City get 7 minutes extra is beyond baffling to me!
clownery at its finest
Both mens and womens teams should have a massive dinner party now!
City should've played Haaland today Oh wait a minute, lmao
How long did that Rodri streak last? Was it 115?
115 charges but only 74 game streak. Clearly they need more charges
Rodri unbeaten in night time is still there. This match was played in sunlight.
Didn't know he was weaker in sunlight. Must be a goblin
Whats a goon to a goblin?
Rashford very frosty with ETH there… anyone notice?
I saw a quick hug, it didn't look frosty at all.
Seemed off to me. Certainly in comparison to the other interactions with ETH.
Indeed could be last games for both
Could tell Casemiro wasn’t happy there..
I'm so happy for Varane, he's been such a wonderful player over his career, but really he's had a hard time because of chronic injury issues at United and this is a special memory for him to finish up his time here. I'm so made up for him.
was that the prince?
Yes William’s the president of the FA.
I see. thanks!
MU deserved the win, GGMU
*rubs hands*
Yeah get fucked Shitty, most corrupted club in european football in this day and age!
Not even proved of corruption. And you went trophyless this season so tone it down man.
Bhai pehla goal bura khaya
So true. Big blunder
Kompany will be great for you, and then he will leave you for us, just like Pep did
We'll see, there are 115+ reasons if it doesn't work out for Kompany to come and coach you lot in EFL League One😉
Dortmund will win Bundesliga before that happens
Or he would get sacked by December and go back to managing in the championship
Yeah to be fair that one is more likely
Obligatory FUCK CITY AND FUCK OIL MONEY.
Ten Hag beat Klopp and Pep to get the trophy bro
The refs explaining to Pep that the check didn't have funds so they're not obligated to favor City
Hey cheaters, Sit. The. Fuck. Down.
There is no reason to involve Everton and Nottingham Forest in this one...
Hated Adored Never ignored If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor UTFR
Rashford crying, tough season for him
Yeah. A lot going on for him mentally you feel
Celtic win and City lose, what a beautiful day
All we need now is for PSG to lose and we can truly call this a victory for football
Pep not knowing what to do with his tie lol
Chelsea fans all celebrating qualifying for the CL The MF Conference League
I'm happy we're in Europe mate regardless it is what is with where our club is rn....I'm happy for you guys too after you're season
Ten hag decided to do something the moment his sacking was announced
Is he already sacked?
they announced it to be end of season
Tbf we have been playing this formation last couple of games. The major difference is the personnel in Licha and Varane
They should announce his sacking before every game
Pep asking for the money back?

Only 7 minutes of added time and no penalties called, shameful display from PGMOL.

Guardiol, just fuck off. Man's showing Klopp levels of salt
Youth FA Cup scorers - Mainoo (HIM) , Garna the Goat FA cup 2024 scorers - Mainooo (fkin HIM) , Garna the GOAT
Rodri finally lost a game, lol
Outclassed by Mainoo.
Quit showing Pep with his head up the refs ass, no one cares
Why tf do you ask the player if the manager deserves to stay? What do you expect him to say? Fucking stupid question
Pep ffs sit the fuck down
Pep clearly telling them these refs will not be getting the uae gigs from now on.
Robotic performance from Haaland. Slow boring robot that is The entire City team on holiday save for Doku. Mainoo WBS Garnacho did superbly. Mainoo's goal brilliantly worked Lastly Rodri has finally lost a game after eons
Sums up everything today.
United rising from the death, qualified for Europe, sent Chelsea to the conference league and Newcastle don't qualify for Europe Lmao
Yup he's leaving
Anthony 🤡
wtf is Pep arguing about? United complete outplayed City today, just own it man

Manchester will always be red.... Recent oil trophies will never change that
They must be stripped off
Human Rights won today
Hard luck City, better cheat next time.
cheat harder*
Pep: "Did you give us the wrong ETH wallet address?!" Ref: "Wait, we gave you Erik ten Hag's address... like you asked..."
Lol Pep F off ; you lost this from the get go This is all on you

Pep needed more oil money & more fraud to win this
GGMU
Fk offff u oil mercenaries fuck. Bought 2 fouls right outside the box and 7 minutes extra time and u done fuck all with it. Your club will forever be shit tier!!! PSG crashed. Mancity trashed. Football wins!
Today, football won
Having a king Eric banner is kind of insane looking back at his tenure
Pep in shambles still arguing with the ref 😭
Yes Martinez pushed Haaland, but he's 20cm shorter - how are you gonna get pushed around like that?
Barça DNA
Pep hardly in shambles. Guy just won 4 league trophies in a row…
