We'll now find out if those rumours are true or not about Man U having already told Ten Hag he will be sacked. Imagine sacking a manager who just won a FA Cup.

FA Cup's prestige has diminished since that season Manure got excused from it because the FA were trying to help them win the Champions League... :shh

Well that’s not what happened at all…..

We didn’t defend the FA Cup after the treble year because of playing in the club World Cup and the FA thinking our participation would help them win the rights to host the 2006 World Cup.

Spin it how you want....the fact it even happened was a disgrace and an insult that's tarnished the competition...absolutely staggering the extent to which the FA sucked off Manure back then..put the AFL's love affair with Geelong & Collingwood in the shade.... :thumbsdown

‘Trying to help us win the champions league’…….that was already done the season prior…… not to mention playing in a tournament on the other side of the planet in the middle of the season makes things tougher than playing in a handful of games on home soil.

Seems like there’s only 1 person spinning anything here or probably just didn’t know what actually went down and throwing something out there hoping no1 knew otherwise.

Haha it’s ok mate, you were wrong there’s no harm in being wrong but sure keep doubling and tripling down on it.

I’ll just keep celebrating a great fa cup win with its ‘diminished prestige’ still being a greater accomplishment then some clubs have managed in almost 50 years  :shh :shh :shh

Southgate has ridden so much luck throughout his tenure with how the draw has always seemed to open up for England. No doubt he will again retain his position because he reached another final when they could have and maybe should have been KO’ed in each round.

Refs who overreact and can't handle big games shouldn't get the gig. Laughable to get sent off for leaping to contest a high aerial ball.

Sweet hit by Calafiori btw.

Arsenal were crucified

City are a rule to themselves
