About time you won a trophy we've already won three times!!

Didn't know you'd won the Europa Cup once 

Didn't know you'd won the Europa Cup once 

Europa League soft-arse!!

Well you did say it used to be called the Uefa Cup, didn't you?

And the last time would of been when we won our second treble

First of all there was no luck involved winning the Europa Cup. We battered Ajax in the final and fully deserved the win. Granted it wasn't a relatively hard fixture list getting to the final. However, like I've said before and will say again! you can only beat what's put in front of you.

For what it's worth I actually agree with you it isn't fair that you can go straight into group stages of CL via winning the Europa Cup. I too prefer the old system. That's not Uniteds fault though. They abide by the rules & regulations like we all do.

The problem prior to getting CL football in Europa Cup is the fact it was definitely treated as a competition that not many of us were to bothered about unless reaching semi final status, only then as a fan we all want to win it. With failing numbers the competition needed a uplift. Being fair it was a clever idea by the powers that be to grant the winners automatic qualification for CL football.  Much as I still don't like the Europa Cup and the system used  it certainly brought the excitement back knowing if your teams wins you can still get CL football.

When it was called the Eufa Cup we classed it as major  trophy which to be fair still is. However, the name change in my opinion did it no favours and fans globally took a disliking for it. Fans who played CL then took the piss (( rightly so )) about playing Europa football on a Thursday nite.

I can tell you (( now from experience))  now the Europa Cup does bring a bit of spice back if you reach the quarterfinals/semi final stages. Didn't think it would but sitting in front of the TV finals nite I had a right buzz.  Great nite...... If your a United fan of course. 

Well you were slightly fortunate in the oppostion you faced in the UEFA Cup, ie the fact that you only played sh*t teams including in the final, mind you you still managed to make a tough game out of the quarter and semi final legs so thanks for that!

Yeah was in Dortmund as well to see us win it  and will be celebrating my 40th when we tw*t you all over Anfield in October

Woooo I'll give you the Dortmund    It's nice when your not just a arm chair support and you go to the matches as well.  . As for October 14th!! Recent years we're doing well against you guys  I don't expect many changes cometh the hour  ..... "Well" 90 mins

I'm not on about the final, I'm on about your entire run in the competition in general. At least you recognise you only won it because you came up against a load of sh*t the entire way. Had the run we did and you wouldn't have been going into the Champions League now.

On paper I agree Liverpools run harder. However, no use second guessing what we would/could of been. As a fan and I'm sure I speak for all of us the easier run your teams gets the better. Remember! People only remember the winners and not how they did it. Look at Arsenal's run in the FA Cup..

The name change has the same effect as with the other competition, i.e. none whatsoever. It's exactly the same thing. Like calling Tottenham "Spurs". Same trophy. Same thing.

The UEFA Cup has an image problem.
The problem is not the travelling, nor the football, it's the Thursday night. The English just don't want to play on a Thursday night. The rest of Europe don't have any issue with it. Without European football, we had the ko times of 31 league games changed last season, 17 at home. The days of playing every week on Saturday at 3pm  disappeared 30 years ago. Now you have to be prepared to play anytime from lunchtime to bedtime, sometimes in successive games.

As regards the European opposition, most of them are of a decent standard, certainly on a par with the plodders and cannon fodder in the EPL. Rostov and Anderlecht could have knocked them out, while Celta should have knocked them out. Meanwhile, their main supply of goals last year has vanished, and they brought in another Swede who wasn't a free transfer, nobody has ever heard of, the fee they paid was as usual completely ott, and will probably be found out and seen on loan at somewhere like West Brom soon enough.

Admit it Keith  .....  just like RVP and his help for your title run .....  have you calculated where you would have ended up without Zlatan's goal fest for you.

Lucky the old leg went at season's end wasn't it ?

Yeah but that's like saying if my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle 

I was just wondering, has Giggs apologised to his brother yet?

Stupid arguement. They paid good money and good wages for those 2 and got the returns. Wouldnt see us signing either or even trying

No chance, absolutely not. It's top 4 for a reason, not top 4 plus where ever else you finish and get lucky winning the Europa League. Personally, and I'm not just saying this because you Mancs won it, but it doesn't seem right that you can win the Europa League and go straight into the group stages. When we won the Champions League in 2005 we finished 5th and were put into the Champions League at the very start, we had to go from the 1st qualifying round, playing TNS I think it was. That was by winning the main competition across Europe and finishing 5th. Yet you can win what is essentially the Mickey Mouse European competition, finish 6th and go straight into the group stage now and like I say, that just doesn't sit right.

Graham Hunter just basically poured a load of scorn all over the Ronaldo back to the shitehawks story on SSN, saying Manchester is too cold for him, Ferguson and Gill are one and when Mourinho left Madrid, him and Ronaldo left on really bad terms and isn't a target for Jose to buy.

I thought it was the cost of the deal that has put them off? He only wants to leave because either he's guilty for the tax stuff or because his £80mill transfer fee was not only beaten by Pogba but also going to be completely smashed by Mbappe and he wants to be the one everyone is talking about this summer and the record transfer again for his ego.

That I mentioned was what I heard Hunter rambling on about during the piece, most likely will be money as well.

Although if money is the only thing putting them off, I'd call bullshit on it as they'd probably get that back on shirt sales alone!

Agree about the tax stuff - Madrid probably gave him a bi*ch slap and told him to pay it himself and now he's got a tittylip on!!

Actually that wasn't United, that was the FA. The Euro 96 bid depended on England being well represented, and seeing as United were in the World Club Championship that year, the FA pinned all the hopes on United winning that so that England would get the Euros. The amount of games United had prompted Ferguson to ask the FA to ask for a reason as to why he should go all out to win it? (Bearing in mind he is Scottish so he couldn't give two fucks about England), the FA generally said do this for us, and our asses are yours. United were allowed to drop out of the FA cup to give them some rest, win the cup guaranteeing the Euro 96 bid, and from then on, Fergie pretty much owned the FA and the Referees. Won countless leagues, got knighted, and has his own time in the game named after him (Fergie Time), but at least we got the Euros....

True they got the Euros. 4 years beforehand.

In 2000, they withdrew from the FA Cup, to play the World Club Cup in Brazil, apparently to aid England's bid for the 2006 WC, as if FIFA cared one way or the other. The Cup 3rd round that year was played in December, where we won at Huddersfield. It has never been played at that time of year since.

The mancs lost their grip on the cup barely a month after playing for it in  Tokyo. England were the first country knocked out of the bidding for the 2006 WC, as FIFA cared more about English fans uncanny ability to rearrange pub furniture in Copenhagen and Charleroi that summer at club and international level, and gave the tournament to Germany instead over heavy favourites South Africa.

Jose is the latest c**t wanted by Spanish authorities for tax fraud!!
