Anyone know Rodgers record against the manky Huns?

Think they said he's only lost 1 in 18.

Wonder will Utd's cup success today buy ten Hag more time ? .

What would do for a derby record like that

He spoke very passionately and honestly after the game, spoke about injuries and having to play 8 CH's during the season and never getting a settled side going, if he goes it may be the wrong decision, the squad needs a total clearout of dead wood and overly injured non contributing players, haha a bit like us.

I thought Shearer and Lineker’s interview with him was a little disrespectful. Yes it’s the elephant in the room but he’s just managed his side to an unexpected FA cup final win against City so perhaps let the question go unasked for a few hours.

One of them said someone along the lines of suggesting that one good game isn’t enough. You don’t win a cup on one good game.

Couple of my old uni mates are Mancs and United fans and they want him to stay.

The big thing for them is he has the young lads playing for him and they said the injuries this season have been extraordinary. Add to that the club has been a mess for years and they think he's maybe part of the problem but not the root cause and could well be the solution with a better structure.

From what I can gather they aren't a tiny minority either, they said the away fans in particular (who tend to be the Manchester and surrounding area based diehards) are largely still onside.

Well done United, a poor season but a good win and now European football with Newcastle missing out, got to feel sorry for Ten Hag if he gets the bullet after this but the league form was brutal, also wonder if Eddie Howe's position in trouble now they're not in Europe now.

Just noticed McTominay walking about no problem with the rest of the players.

Eddie Howe won't be losing his job I can tell you that. They had a record breaking minutes lost through injury this season, not playing in the conference league Thursday then EPL Sunday is a blessing.

I think they should stick with him, yes there's been some terrible performances but there's also been some really good ones and in big matches. Think he'll get there but it's going to take time.

He signed a good bit of that deadwood tbf. Anthony might be the worst transfer ever

Man Utd have been terrible at times. But that’s a trophy he’s got in each of his seasons. A lot of ‘better’ teams over the same period have nothing to show for it.

Love to see huns lose. Love it. Switched off now because I don’t like seeing Celtic win.

Beats me why anyone other than a Rangers or Celtic fan would watch that game. The FA Cup final was surely a far more attractive option. Not that I watched either, although pleased to hear United won.

[lugz]

Poch to United, ETH to Chelsea would be hilarious.

Indeed. Thing about United is they were utterly skewed by the phenomenal haul of trophies won under Fergie. Think they've actually won four or five domestic cups since he left plus a European trophy. Great by most clubs' standards but the way they've fallen so far off the pace when it comes to title challenges makes it seem like relentless failure.

Didn't see that interview, was watching on STV, yes Lineker can be a bit like that, the question was also asked on STV too, said he's the manager and will be until otherwise told.

I'd like to see what he can do without the crocks.

Except much better results, signings and progress of course. Ain't a single Arsenal or Liverpool fan swapping their last 2 years, or their squad, for the mess at United.

Results are nothing without the outcome. Man U are a basket case but cups are cups and realy close awards don't exist. Realy don't like Man U but they will be happy tonight. Unsure if Ineos oil tax haven money will change things

Aw well, Arsenal can console themselves with that whilst Man Utd (for how pish they are) still have trophies to show for their efforts.

I’m sure the Man Utd fans would rather have the cup win against their rivals to look back on for the rest of their days as opposed to being able to talk about that time they progressed to second.

That’s a fair point. But ultimately, trophies are the name of the game and as much as United are an absolute shambles, they’ve still got silverware.

[JimBHibees]

Leverkusen win German double. Some season for them

[Broken Gnome]

We had a pitch invasion, mini-riot, police intervention, pitch clearing, Rangers holding things up with their greeting and statement writing, and still had the cup before the German Cup Final ever gets round to a trophy presentation.

Console themselves? Why would they need consoling? They're much better than United.

They've got a poor squad, massive wage bill, crap transfer policy, tip of a ground, and owners with zero interest. An fa cup doesn't change that.

Because they’ve won **** all again.

Finishing second means **** all.

All fairly obvious I’d have thought.

Finishing second means quite a lot actually. More money to further strengthen a squad already miles ahead of United's. Can keep their young, talented players and pay them more. Sets them up for another title challenge while united have another transitional season, possibly under another new manager.

Arsenal had some good cup runs in the 2010s when they were crap in the league too. It's only natural when you cant compete for the title or beat Copenhagen in the champions league.

A good day for United. I'm personally glad to see City lose.

Remember Wenger saying 4th is a trophy, sometimes managers talk s####.

Would you have rather came second like Aberdeen in 2016 or won the cup like us, only one comes with an open top bus

Arsenal are a great side with loads of room for development and winning trophies 👍 maybe lack a wee bit of experience but they’ll come good in next 3 years, play the game how it should be played. Like Spurs though, my worry is they won’t spend as much as City, Liverpool or Utd. But I hope they win a trophy or two as their football deserves it.

If they don't have the bottle get a trophy over the line then the nice football counts for nothing. One of the worst Man U teams has 2 trophies in 2 years to the zero that Arsenal have won. They need to convert that nice football into winning something or they will just be another one of the losers.
