The FA Cup celebration thread

Congrats to everyone involved. A really nice win. I hope the celebrations are muted somewhat when put in context of the season as a whole, but absolutely delighted - especially for the young players - that they get to taste success like this. Hopefully it makes them hungry for more.

There’s something special about this club too. Even when we are absolutely shit, in our worst period in over 30 years, we still find a way to grind out trophies here and there. Our barren and bleak years put to shame the golden years for some of our “rivals”. Looking at you Spurs, Newcastle, and even Arsenal. Clearly we are miles behind Arsenal, but in half the time Ten Hag has won more trophies at United than Arteta has at the Gooners. That gives me a good chuckle.

Shout out to Johnny Evans. He can’t have imagined when he re-signed in his twilight years, that he’d be on the pitch winning the FA Cup at the end of the season. Genuinely chuffed for him. What a way to go out on his career.
 
So happy! Haven't felt this good in a long long time! Forget Sertraline...Man United winning is all I need!
 
Absolutely brilliant today. Organised, structured, no massive gaps, and unbelievable passion. Second goal was absolute class, that assist from Bruno just beautiful. Very fitting Mainoo and Garnacho getting both goals, the future is bright.

Well he is a massive red who has a relationship of sorts with Ten Hag and loads of people at the club. I’m not digging him out because I like Mitten but he’s never going to ask him difficult questions.

Andy is class. Very good interview.

I met Andy once at Old Trafford. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a pain and bother him and ask him for a copy of United We Stand or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued through the Munich Tunnel, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came back to get through the turnstiles I saw him trying to kick through the gate without scanning his ticket.

The steward at the gate was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to scan your ticket first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and went back to the ticket scanner.

He tried scanning it multiple times, but he'd intentionally printed it with crap reflective ink that prevents the machine from reading it. He stopped her and told her to scan each inch of the QR code individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. Eventually the area started flooding with rain water so we all drowned, but Andy just laughed and flashed a bit of the City tattoo he's secretly got across his chest.
 
Brilliant performance, felt in control for the most part. Martinez and a partner make so much difference. Really well set up tactically too. Great to have the FA Cup after so long.

This will be the last post in this thread about this issue as I don't want to derail it further but it's not about asking difficult questions. It's about staying professional with the job you are trying to do. When you are insinuating that a manager might run off with the trophy as he's rumoured to be sacked, that's not being professional at all. That's questioning a manager's character and downright disrespectful. That whole interview irked me to no end.

Feck that stuff, it is absolute poison.

The one city fan is our football whatsapp group is getting some abuse... as it turns out he's also a Rangers fan.. so he's getting it on double.

Fecking loved today, Utd winning and beating those cheating cnuts in the final is awesome. A great day for football having a proper club with 2 teenagers and an academy player scoring the winner in the FA cup final.

What a high today, so happy for all of them after this season, was a nightmare for all involved but to be able to end it like today is incredible. Some tears were definitely shed after the emotion of that one and looking at all the pics and videos. Amazing stuff.
 
We were great today. It’s encouraging to see us play well even if it was, literally, a cup final. All is well in the footballing world this evening.
