Its all very well people looking forward to a jolly day out, but this is professional sport where it is the winning that counts. God forbid it happens but if the players put in the sort of performance they did in first half v Luton last year at Wembley (granted it was a different team entirely) and we are too open and try and fuck around with the ball in our own half looking pretty then there is a significant risk we get absolutely taken to the cleaners and if that happened does it risk undoing much of the brilliant work done this season as morale wise getting embarrassed in such a widely watched match will be devastating for the players.
To that end do we the fans have a duty to talk less about a good day out and try and get it across its the winning that counts however thats done, so all the dark arts are fair game and winning ugly is in fact beautiful, as realistically if we are going to win this, we need to turn it into the ugliest scrap we can and frustrate the mentally suspect man utd players.
If we were to lose id rather lose by an odd goal where the match is a shit spectacle but we roughed them up and competed, then get all the patronising plaudits for playing pretty passing football but losing 4-0. I think the players would take more into next season if its a competitive scoreline
