And yet they've managed to win it.
United are in the 7th spot because mediocre clubs like Liverpool and Everton made an unusually strong season.

And your comments towards United players lack basic sense. Darmian made a hell of a season before joining United, Valencia is making even a better one now. Chris Smalling has been injured for a long time and still pulled out an awsome performance last night. Although Mou doesn't like Blind as a center back, he's performed well every time when there's no other option.


United are 6-th because they played shit football, that is when they played, there were times when the finest tactical instruction were long balls towards Faillini, a guy that reminds me of this great oak i once saw while visiting Scotland.

Darmian had a decent season for Torino (lol), at a time when italian football was at its worst
100 mio on pogba, 40 to his agent, for that sum you could buy a whole midfield.

Relying on carrick every now and whenever, Ibra to carry the attack (lol), faillini and the likes of valencia and smalling makes me giggle.

The only decent signing was eric bailly, but for the next season you need like 7 players for the first 11.

Good luck with that.

While I understand the madness of some "neutral" or neutral viewers of utds style to play I totally concur with Pozer and cambovenzi on this one: in such important game it does not make sense to open everything up - the Job was perfectly executed and hence it was a more than deserved win

Congrats on the title and even more important congrats on CL next year
I doubt players like griezman would join with no CL

Given the amount of injuries and their current self-confidence I think it is safe to say that this kind of style was the best option


you do realise that there are a lot of options between parking the bus and storming forward?

Really boring final, United deserved to win since Ajax was absolutely nowhere.

Shame really, I fancied Ajax to surprise everyone

One of the worst finals in the history of football.

Neither Ajax or Utd deserved to win it.

Thanks, Jose.



People in general, just as football players in particular, develop over time, they come to maturity and reach their peak.

You, my friend, are the same sour prick you were 4 years ago. Congrats.

As for Mourinho, nothing wrong to approach a final in a defensive way, but versus the greats of Crystal Palace, Watford, Sunderland etc (didnt follow Utd's season at all - but #7 easily tells it) he barely played football.

He has no attack, no midfield and he defends with the likes of Darmian (joke in Italy), Valencia (a guy no club would realistically be interested in) Smalling (championship material) and Blind ( a guy slower than your mind, if that's even possible).
:lol:

Easily has to go to the spurs boys this year surely. These "personalised handshakes" need to get in the bin.

What's even worse is Paul "Dabclown" Pogbas (how ampoo would call him) already made it.
