if your lot had of been in those finals and won the same way, you would be happy that your team had won those competitions.same as all these mancs on here deriding the result/victory/winning THAT mickey mouse trophy.
WTFever. I gave an example of how beating Manchester United in the FA Cup Final is a better way to win the trophy than winning it against a relegated Pompey. In case you didn't know, we've done both since you'd last won anything.
I'd have preferred for Chelsea to have won the Carling Cup yesterday, I'd have even preferred Cardiff to have beaten you, but the absolute worst way for you to win the cup is to need to take it to penalties against a Championship side.
Even Wimbledon when they beat you in the FA Cup managed to beat you playing football, rather than winning the lottery of a shootout.
Even if we'd won the penalty shoot out in Moscow I would still think penalties is the wrong way to decide the pinnacle of club football.
fergiescum decided at the beginning of the season he wanted the league and euro and possibly the FA cup. well he s not going to win the euro or FA cup is he, he s not going to win the league either i reckon , he might have a chance with that other "mickey mouse" europa cup, but as it stands he is going to win FOOK ALL this season. dont tell me he and any other manager wouldnt have swapped places with kenny yesterday. any one that comes on here and says differently is lying.he probably regrets his team squads in earlier rounds.
Fergie would have preferred to have won the CC yesterday, but there's no way he'd have taken Liverpool's seasons as a replacement for United's. Better to finish second in the league and qualify for the CL than win the CC and finish 6th.
it would be great if we could get 4th too, but choice of a trophy or 4th place i would take a trophy every day (or possibly 2 trophies isnt beyond our reach this season).
It is horrible for me to say this, but if I had a choice between the FA Cup and 4th place, it would have to be a 4th place finish. The financial rewards of the CL would mean so much more than the FA Cup, especially at this particular point in our history.
if we only end up with the league cup and a europa spot then it hasnt been a disasterous season, it will certainly be a better season than most of the clubs will have this year.
I agree. But it would still have been a better victory if Liverpool had beaten Cardiff with their footballing superiority rather than winning because of the lottery of the shootout.
