Wow. Gone so fast all of that.

We're celebrating because it means something.

We didn't throw billions at it, we earned the FA Cup and that is a feeling that two groups of fans will never experience.

I still cannot believe we won it. I have been smiling all day since yesterday. Today feels even better than yesterday... cant stop seeing the pics of the celebrations, the parade or the match! Its just fucking awesome!

Bloody hell, how young are you!? The joy of youth!

Im 22, but last we won a trophy i was 13, didn't really appreciate it back then. this weekend though. magical

[Marc Overmars]

watching everyone criticse us for celebrating like mad, because its only hull and just the fa cup.

you built up this 9 years crap, you reminded us of it every time you could, now its being rammed down your throats with interest.

Butt hurt because they need some new material.

Butt hurt because they need some new material.

they are currently going with two options. the first being "its only hull and we didn't play that well" and the second is "can they win a trophy next year, thats the real test"

this season, we ruined all our critics ammunition, we went out and spent 40 million on a world class player and we won a trophy. the two big sticks the media use to beat us with of "they don't spend money on world class players" and "haven't won a trophy in x years" are gone and they can't cope

Also, Maureen's specialist in failure shit which the media loved so much, that was shot to shit as well. It hasn't been a good year for the Mancs media but they aren't the sort to take stock and learn anything so a brand new summer collection of bullshit is expected. Hopefully our own fans won't give them so much ammo this time around.

That wasn't openly accepted by the media. From what I read, most thought he was out of line and should have showed more class.

The blanket coverage that lasted a week was the give away. Of course they "disapproved", why would they approve of 20 easy yards of copy? They disapprove in the same way as a politician disapproves. They shake their head in public while milking whatever they can. If they'd genuinely disapproved, they wouldn't have underpinned the story with a post mortem on Wenger and headlines such as, "So is Jose right?" Instead they would have pressed on with a character assassination of Mourinho, as they do with anyone they can get between their teeth. Maureen gave them the prefect excuse and their response was a titter and a shake of the head before moving on to the main course - killing Wenger. Even now the criticism that should be heaped on Mourinho is muted. Just imagine the outcomes reversed, Mourinho coming off a cup win and Wenger empty handed. It would be open season and a field day.
