All the people saying we would have put up a fight today clearly missed the end of the season

I dunno why people like you can't see that we were mentally gone after the Semi. Not saying that's a good thing or an excuse but it is the reason.

It's something we need to work on for sure but it doesn't mean the team is bad or that we can't complete.

You're taking the piss?

Our performance in the FA Cup shadowed performing in the league that was more of a long shot than last season, which again was a fluke.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Peps Man City play as badly as this. Comical defending and no cutting edge up front.

Haaland has been absolutely pocketed.

We did well last season to sneak into it, hit form and against the odds made the play off Final.

Who knows, anyone can say xyz should have happened. Just like we should have been there today.

Saw something interesting today, Man City threw the game to let Man U into the CL/Europe?

Makes sense when you look at our SF.

Understood people were bitter. But some theories I’ve read today, and “the losers of the semis won the final” are pathetic.

Pretty accurate though isn't it?

I'd rather have been dicked 5-0 by City in the final, than be cheated out of a chance to play for the FA Cup...

Not really. We ultimately lost the game. People should’ve been past it ages ago.

Football teams get robbed sometimes.

You could argue that Notts County were robbed in the L2 play offs in 2018. But it wouldn’t suit the narrative.

Sort of didn’t mind either way. Not sure it’s worth our fans clogging up Samaritans regardless.

If Wan-Bisakas foot wasn't drawn over, or they took it from the end of O'Hares scoop, or it was clear n obvious, or they'd decided to scrap VAR before, or if they pick and choose when to use VAR, or it depends when they use VAR on which stage of the competition... then I'd probably be over it.

That's before the Man U players crying and the officials giving the winning goal.

If Haji was a yard/clearly offside, I'd be able to get it. Quite simple really.

They've spent just as much as City to achieve fuck all, so it's not as much of a flex that they won.

(If we'd of lost to wolves, I'd of probably preferred they won over City from a "footballing" point of view, but ultimately its the same financial shite)

Practise all you like. No amount of penalties at a training ground is the same as penalties in front of a full Wembley + millions of viewers.

Any professional will tell you.

This ^^ add to what Robins said about resetting focus and adrenaline levels after thinking you'd got a last minute winner.

Factor in that we lost both coin tosses we were fecked

That rule needs changing, if you get to pick what end, then the other team gets to go first automatically. I'd support that on the winning end of the toss.

The supporters end always had the advantage regardless.

They do, Europa league. As a result Chelsea are in the conference cup and Newcastle miss out all together

fair. point. but it can't hurt. especially if you have forfeits if you miss.
there's only so many times you can jog around the training ground. might help focus the mind a bit.
