West Ham into the Conference League slot if this score holds up and we turn down the Conference League

How does this work? Do we really think our ownership will turn it down?

It's a fix.

As much as we might want to blame City, we only have ourselves to blame. We threw away leads against now relegated sides, and the less said about Jackson's performance in the semis, the better.

Hoping for a similar second half showing to the one against Coventry. City certainly have the players.

We did that and we should have been above Spurs as well.
But this final is a fix.

Exactly! We shouldn't be relying on results..we could be here but missed a load of chances. Just the way it's happened.

Just shame after a crap season united look set to come away as a winner of something..whereas we've tried for so many years recently and sod all

United will score a third, it's going to end 3-1 to United.

[Laylabelle 9,587]

Plus Man U win this..go into Europa..have a lot more riding on this then City so not surprising they're playing way they are.

the prize money is so small that to go under the UEFA FFP just for that means we will have to sell more players

in fact, I posted (weeks ago) an article where is discussed turning down EUROPA Leage possibly, for the same reasons

[Vesper 30,538]

I think that si the first time I have even heard Onana's NAME mentioned all game (and it was only in passing, not for a save)

[Vesper 30,538]

Håland needs to step the fuck up

[Thor 2,774]

Its so gross cheering for City.

[Vesper 30,538]

Citeh are playing to the same (or worse) level as they did against us, ffs (in the semifinal we blew)

Hell no. They could actually string together passes against us. KDB has forgotten how to dribble the football this game. 

[Pizy 19,026]

May genuinely be a blessing in disguise if we have only the PL to focus on with a new manager. And a curse for United to be in Europa and splitting their focus.

[Vesper 30,538]

figures, Gvardiol is having his worst game since the Argies roasted him in the World Cup

that is why I said 'or worse'

especially as Manure have scored twice

and yes de Bruyne looks like a tired old man with shit passing 

so far

[Vesper 30,538]

even Foden is fucking up, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
