Off course they can, I don't know why opposing fans don't just stop posting. If Liverpool or City win a trophy the last place id wanna be is a match thread or there super thread. Posting the same **** in both trying to bait people will get a much derided and well earned response

chupacabra

We most certainly are. The extra bit of crying from utterly BTFO Liverpool fans is just a little icing on our big beautiful cake.

The winning feeling is great, in whatever sport whoever one supports, it never changes.

Zlatan has been phenomenal. A real legend of the game.
Jose is what United had been crying out for since Fergie retired.

The win today for United was so important, it has kept the positive feeling in the team, the good results, fighting back when it went 2-2, the winning feeling is so important, and that is why Zlatan is such a legend, a born winner, like the manager, and transferring it to United.
It will be interesting to see where United go from here for the rest of the season, now they have a trophy.
The thing about a final is you are there to win them and it has United fans feeling good tonight.

Thankfully the neutrals who were gracious are ones who at least being thanked.

But to others. Kerp it coming. Its Monday tomorrow and few laughs before bedtime is worth it.

We'd one of your United lads posting in the Liverpool thread five minutes after full time too, eejits aren't exclusive to a certain club. Don't let it get to you and celebrate your win.

Surely that is a minority case though compared to the shítfest which this thread has been long thrown into? Full agreement with you that clowns bear crests of all colours and creeds, but this thread has been an interesting case study of 'People who live in glass houses should not throw stones'.

A lot of fans hate United, a lot hate Mourinho. Even more so when the two are winning. The intersection of these two sets is a large and vocal one.

Many of them are just jibes and a bit of tribalism on the internet, no harm, we all do it. It's clear though that beyond that, a few non-United fans are raging beyond the general quips and jibes. I'm not saying that in a "Haha, I will salt my dinner with their tears" sort of way, I'm more bewildered by some of it. For example, the only Liverpool victory which remotely devastates me is when it's one against United. Same for Arsenal, City, Chelsea.

And yes, I'm just waiting on a taxi to go out and celebrate the win rather than celebrate it here reveling in some ABU misery. Never mind the EFL, it was a great month in general for United and that's what I'll tip the few drinks to tonight, and leave the salt for the chips when I get home

The bitterness/hatred between you lot and the Liverpool fans on here does contribute to some of the more ludicrous posts on here. I wanted you to lose (obviously!) and I won't try to deny that I'm disappointed with the result. However; you won, and there's fcuk all I can do about it. Enjoy the win; triumphs at Wembley are to be savoured, deserved or not!

Best team won.

Nah.

Southampton were the better side and had a goal disallowed...

But, couple of the Southampton players left the foot in and Romeau could have easily been sent off.

Extra time would have been fair but nonetheless I'm delighted we won.

Yoshida MoM for me (as a united fan), they had us on the rails and we were lucky to avoid extra time. Zlat the difference between the two sides yet again, wish we had him 10 years ago!

You'd think United fans would shut about Liverpool for once, but even when they're in a cup final against a team on the other end of the country, they still just cannot resist.

It's flattering, it really is.

Almost as flattering as the number of Liverpool fans lurking the thread in hope of an upset that were around to thank that post!

user2011

Thankfully both didn't, a great game for both sets of fans had and even the neutral.

Words from the great, United teams don't know how to make games easy for the fans.

Silverware is what it's all about. Obviously some rank higher than others but any trophy is better than no trophy.

Can I just say a big thank you to the Liverpool fans though. I've only just read this thread and the winning feeling was already wearing off when I started tucking into it but you guys... you guys brought it all flooding back.
Ye played an absolute, full on bitter, 100% salty blinder.
So thanks again, you did not let me down, each and every one of you.

Not any more moddafookers!!:pac::pac:

Il tell you what utd or not when ibra hangs up his boots only then will he be appreciated by the gang of bitters
A world class player that does not get the credit he deserves IMO
Incredible the amount of games, assists and goals utd have got out of this guy without injury
Age is just a number, as a utd fan it's such a joy watching this athlete dominate
This type of player will not be witnessed again in a very long time IMO

Love it! You mean they didn't get any trophy when they won the league at the beginning of the season?! :eek: surely that needs investigating

I'm sure they never wanted to win the FA Cup, Charity Shield or League Cup anyway

brinty

Great to see the Southampton players have that aspect of snatching defeat from the jaws off victory
It'll suit them well when they make the step back to joining Liverpool.

Ah sure leave them off to stew in salty bitterness. At least we have on trophy down along with the Charity Shield, still on with a shout for 2 more

Any trophy is better than nothing at all, we can all agree and enjoy it until the next game... Onwards and upwards

Donnielighto

Plenty of fans on both sides letting themselves down here.

Utd were lucky but got it done when it came down to it. Ibra once again doing the business. Appreciate the posts from other fans that are genuine, they aren't unnoticed.

Infairness I think they might be a few drunken heads this morning.

True. He should have went, but had he both his yellows were alot tamer than a good few tackles from Southampton players.

I still think Southampton deserved extra time at least. Credit to United for scoring 3 while playing poorly and looking very very tired. Southampton didn't concede all tournament until yesterday.
