What an absolute sickener. It’s an all timer for me that, just because of who it was, how it happened, and the fact that it was all so fucking unnecessary. We’ve lost here in the cup to a couple of late goals before and it hurts like fuck, but when that happened they were better than us and it would have been a great effort for us to have beaten them. It hurts but it’s understandable. That’s not how it is now. They’re shite, we should never be losing to them and I don’t feel any better about it today than I did yesterday. I'm still fuming. That said, having been able to sleep on it and collect some thoughts, I can compartmentalise this to some extent. With the dust having settled on it, I’m not that arsed we’re out of the FA Cup. I’d have loved to have won it, obviously, but going out of the cup in itself isn’t bothering me today. I can easily find a positive in that because not having to play in the semi final means the Fulham game takes place at the weekend and does not need to be crammed in somewhere late in the season when we’re already going to be overstretched. We still don’t have a date for the Everton game unless I’ve missed that. So does going out of the FA Cup help us when it comes to the league? To a degree, yes it does. Is the league more important? Fuck yes is it. I’d like to still be in the cup but it’s the manner of the loss and who we lost to that hurts today, not the fact that we’re out of the FA Cup. There’s a reason quadruples don’t happen and it’s not because no team is good enough to do it. It’s because competing on four fronts takes a monumental effort and you need a huge amount of luck. Trying for four actually makes it harder to win any because the mental and physical toll on a squad is huge late in the season. And when you’ve got as many players missing as we’ve had (and still have) then it’s even more unlikely. So yeah, I can make my peace with no longer being in the FA Cup quite easily. The thing I can’t make my peace with is losing to them. They aren’t a serious football team. They do things that proper football teams just don’t do. Honestly, look at the number of screenshots doing the rounds showing countless instances of how much space we had. We don’t get that kind of room to play against anybody. Maybe that’s how they’re as high as sixth, they just lull you into a false sense of security by being utterly fucking inept tactically. They’re the worst Manchester United side I’ve ever seen. If we’d been beaten by Fulham or Palace or someone of that ilk I’d be over it already. It wasn’t Fulham or Palace though. It was a shite team with cunt fans who spent all afternoon chanting about Hillsborough. We can’t do anything about that (the FA have put out a statement saying it’s not acceptable though, so I’m sure that will ensure it doesn’t happen again), but the players can. They need to fight that battle for us by inflicting misery on those cunts. Instead they gave those Hillsborough mocking lowlifes the best memory they’ve had in a decade. Nice one lads, thanks for that. Good job. *slow hand clap* We beat these cunts 7-0 a year ago. Seven fucking nil. They somehow escaped from Anfield with a 0-0 draw this season but we should have been going there and spanking them and - I don’t say this lightly because they’ve been incredible and I love them - but for once the players let us down. I don’t mean in effort as they gave absolutely everything, they always do. I mean in execution, in focus. I mean in just making the right fucking decisions. You just can’t not win this game. Can’t happen. Not acceptable. Not the way the game played out. Look, if we just hadn’t been at it and they’d played well, then of course we can lose to them. Shit as they are, it can happen. We almost lost at Luton and needed a last minute equaliser to spare our blushes. You can have an off day and when that happens you can lose. This wasn’t that though. We didn’t have an off day, we dominated the game. But you have to beat them and make your superiority count, and instead we thought 2-1 would be enough.21 points -
I’ll be gutted if she’s dead. I was planning on having sexual intercourse with her in the back of an old Vauxhall Nova, on the dirt track, near Wakefield Tip. I’d envisaged us sharing a post coital snack of scotch eggs and dairylea triangles, whilst watching the sun go down over the prison. She’d be offering kind words, along the lines of “William didn’t last that long our first time either. We can try again if you like” I’d be wondering what she’s going on about, and deciding whether I’d be able to get home in time for Match of the Day if we set off now. Alas, this looks as though it now might not happen. Fuck you death.9 points

Why are so many people wanking themselves silly over this? It was first mooted by Boris Johnson as purely a ploy to gain votes. The cunt knows as much, or cares as much about football as he does fidelity. He led a party with a decades long history of hostility and outright hatred of football fans. Not one single tory MP gives a flying fuck about ‘community clubs’ or the ‘football pyramid’. This was the government that pressured the premier league to approve the vile Saudi Arabia take over of Newcastle United for their own commercial benefit. And it’s not just tories I wouldn’t trust with a barge pole when it comes to football. We had a Labour Home Secretary who claimed to be a football fan who point blank refused to relook at the Hillsborough Disaster despite mountains of evidence showing one of the worst cover ups in history going straight to the top of government, policing, media and the cosy relationships between them all. None of them give a fuck about the greater good of football, this is purely about PR and trying to shut up that fucking manc rat Neville with his constant crusade of wanting to end up heading this. There will not be one single, meaningful benefit of this to any football fan of any club regardless of which division they’re in. It won’t stop a single club going bust, it won’t stop nation states buying clubs and it wont stop financial doping on a mass scale. It’s just absolute PR shite that was designed to distract the minions and hopefully gain the government a few more votes. It’s thoroughly depressing you have the likes of the GFW (who really should know better) and idiots lapping it up believing it to be ‘for the greater good’. It’s a fucking con that will achieve the square root of fuck all, shame on those that believe any different.4 points

Ok I'm not explaining this properly. It isn't about under-estimating them. For the most part they were as shit as I expected them to be. Yes, they scored four. Two of those came when we were absolutely fucked in extra time and I'm completely discounting extra time from this. Some of the other chances were offside and wouldn't have counted (so ignore the laughably distorted XG nonsense), but it distorts how we view the balance of the game. What happened was they came out all guns blazing and caused us problems early on. They were good in that spell, no question. It's to be expected though. I could even see Everton doing that to us at home because they have to come out with fire in their belly but these plucky underdog sides just can't sustain that level of manic effort for very long. They punch themselves out and then rely on having a good shape, making it as difficult as possible and then hoping for counter attacks. United had counter attacks, but they did not make it difficult at all and their shape was hilarious. The better side just has to wether the early storm then take control, which we did. That second half was complete and utter dominance, because they are - and I can't stress this enough - proper shite tactically. There were gaps everywhere, it was like playing a kids team. At times Szoboszlai was in 20 yards of space between their midfield and defence, it was laughable. We beat them 7-0 last year and most of the failings they had then were there this time too. We were just sloppy and far too lacking in focus when it came to exploiting them. Us not scoring in that second half had nothing to do with them and everything to do with us. They did their best to let us batter them. Of course they still have players who can hurt you, and occasionally there were flashes of that (especially when we got tired), but this was not a game where the opposition played well above their usual level and we didn't show up. That's what usually happens in this fixture when a heavy favourite doesn't win, but this wasn't that. We drew here 1-1 when we won the league, it can happen when they raise their game and we don't. We've done it to them loads of times too when they were much better than us. I'm saying that didn't happen this time and the reasons we were so confident about this game were there for all to see. They were fucking awful from around 20-85 minutes and for us to not have put them away in that second half is scandalous really. We won't have more space in a game all season than we had in that second half. How many attacking overloads do you need to get a fucking goal? We had 5v2, at least twice we had 4v2 and there were probably half a dozen more where it was essentially 5v5 with a ball carrier running at them with passing options. That doesn't happen against a team that has played well and made it difficult for us. It didn't happen at Luton. Shit, it didn't happen at Palace or Sheffield United either. Even Burnley were more difficult to play through, and they're naive as fuck. Tactically this is the worst team we've faced all season and it's embarrassing that we didn't exploit it. We lost that second half 1-0. That's fucking incredible when you think about it. That's why we got beat, not because of extra time when half the team were out on their feet, our game management went to shit and they got their tails up. It should never have got that point because they were genuinely hopeless in that second half and they'd basically given up. They were beaten and they knew it, until it gets to 85 minutes and they're somehow only a goal down and they suddenly have hope. So Mark, you didn't under-estimate United and neither did I. United are exactly who we thought they were. This defeat is 100% on us.4 points

We moved house in December. The garden is big, lots of bushes, trees and god knows what else. We also have… a greenhouse, a proper one and I have no clue how to use it, but I’ve bought a book by Titchmarsh. Two days ago the blossom outside the bedroom window exploded to life, ridiculously beautiful. Other stuff starting to reveal itself; more cherry blossom trees, darker pink, elderberry trees, a yellow one (ha, my ignorance), a big tall willow tree with yellow fuzzy buds. Amazing. we are going to see what comes up and have a bash at a load of toms in the greenhouse, perhaps with courgette and herbs. Very lucky.

I just don't get the "we'll beat them because they're shit" thing. I mean, yeah, we're the better team at the moment, but when we play each other all bets are always off. There's always the chance of an unexpected result. And anyone who thinks they won't be going crazy to fuck up our season in a couple of weeks... brace yourself. We should win. I really really hope we do. But it's no guarantee. Against them. Ever.4 points

I wipe my arse with your opinions wee man, I grew up in Speke in the 80s and went to school in Toxteth. I've worked for charities in Anfield that worked with asylum seekers and the utterly destitute.

Time to break him away from the trad Tech cunts as the fella is far more than just dabbling in global politics/gubmints/power. Space X, Starlink, Twitter are all simultaneously for sale to the highest bidder of any kind and immediately unavailable at this nerds whim. Elon Musk is showing the world how radicalized he has become. The billionaire, one of the most consequential figures to walk the Earth, spent another weekend swimming in the right-wing fever swamps of X. Musk equated moderating dangerous and appalling hate speech to “censorship,” bashed the press for legitimate reporting, assailed DEI programs without supporting evidence, skewered advertisers who fled the X platform last year and yet again gave credence to the racist Great Replacement theory, among other things. To those not fluent in the intricacies of right-wing media, some of what Musk said may have sounded bizarre or even foreign. But in the right-wing fever swamps, where Musk is now deeply entrenched, these are the issues that animate the masses. The erratic businessman raged against the “woke mind virus” and said its “goal” is “the destruction of America,” agreed with a user who wrote “Fake News is the Enemy of the People,” said the press is “basically the [Joe] Biden cheering squad,” accused the news media of “lying” about Donald Trump’s “blood bath” comments, called NPR a “nice version of Pravda,” alleged Google “manipulate[s] their search results with left wing bias,” said the January 6 insurrection was “not a ‘bloodbath’ by any definition,” and argued that if there is not a “red wave” in November, “America is doomed.” In effect, Musk has become self-radicalized on the very website that he was forced to purchase for $44 billion, sliding deeper into the darkest and most unsavory corners of the platform that has served to only reinforce his own worldview with an echo chamber of conspiracy theorists and ego-stoking sycophants that regularly fawn at his every move no matter how outrageous or preposterously false. All of it dished up by an algorithm designed to regurgitate it right back to him. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, Musk is hell bent on taking everyone else down there with him. Be interesting to see how the US gubmint handles Twitter in the wake of any Tik Tok sale. Maybe more interesting in fact if there is no sale. As for elections here - this is far more direct than anything Murdoch has ever done. Saying one party needs a wave or the country is doomed?

I'm actually nearly over this one, the 1-1 draw with City rankles me a lot more if I'm honest. Just watched the gloss-over by Webb and Owen on the pen incident, and I'm fuming more about that. Might have something to do with me being happy with the club, our team and how our outlook is. Might be that I just value the league so much more these days I guess. Winning the league cup was great, and winning the fa cup would have been great too, but if we want to win the league I think having two Wembley trips (with one of them being against the cheats) might have been too much to handle. We'll get a bit more rest than City now, and on paper a better run-in than both them and Arsenal. I agree wholeheartedly with Dave on Utd's shitness. This loss was much more on Nunez and Salah than it was on Gakpo though. Shocking performances from the both of them, I don't think they made one correct decision between them over the 90 mins. If they did, we would have won 5/6-1, as they had just about given up, we only needed to take care of one of the breaks they offered us. Both Nunez and Salah were on the pitch in that period, Gakpo wasn't. I'm not saying he had a good game, far from it, but I think pinning the blame on him is a bit cheap. Anyway, the future is still bright for us, while I don't think we'll see our red rivals doing anything useful for the foreseeable future. Hopefully Ratcliffe keeps ten Hag in the hot seat, as they are going absolutely nowhere with him at the helm. Even better would be if they brought in Southgate of course.2 points

The point is that the people they need to vote for them a lot of them (taking the stupid racists and xenophobes who let 'get brexit done' con them out the equation) didn't last time because they bought into the whole narrative about lab and the economy and they rejected out of hand the lab ideas. Lab are now presenting a different potential approach that is designed to present a different approach and that is being slammed too. It has gone from 'lab are irresponsible and can't be trusted'.....So lab present what they believe is a more 'responsible' position and now it is descending into 'lab are just the same as the tories' So what exactly are they meant to do? Hopefully when they get into power they'll be able to show people - although with the state of what they are inheriting and the scorched earth policy the tory vermin will operate between now and the election, i dare say we'll still be in a mess in next 3-5 years and it will of course all be labs fault and the fucking idiots this country is full of will vote those tory bastards back in ....2 points

But they were shit in this game, that's the point. None of this "form book goes out of the window". It has done in the past, for both sides. We've won games we had no right to based on the league table, but we did it by raising our game. That's not what happened here. They were shite and were really easy to play against. Not winning that game is all about us, nothing to do with anything they did.2 points

On September 19th, 2008, an event occurred at the Large Hadron Collider, which is known as The Quench Incident. This has been explained away as being nothing more than a routine overheating of superconducting magnets, but, if you think about it, this moment corresponds directly with the time that the entire world began it's journey to The Abyss. I have thus far, thought that this was quite an outlandish conspiracy theory, but the above picture has confirmed to me that The Quench Incident, was in fact the beginning of the end, and that there is indeed no hope for humanity, or indeed existence itself.2 points
