Very proud of the players. AT 3-0 down it could easily have turned into a thrashing but they didn't give in and were oh so close to a replay. Can't win em all but that second half made me proud to be a blue.

Me too. I don"t know what Bob told them at half time, but they were incredible. True warriors.

I wanted it to end at 3-0. At OT they gave up, we dug in right to the last and everything was against us. Never thought i'd be so happy with the players after losing to united.

Wouldn't call losing to United ever a blessing.
Should of had a penalty and 11 men. Mind you they should of had another penalty aswell. Warriors today.

Superb from the 10 men out there.

Could have folded at half time, did the opposite.

They won't do a 6-1 to us in a hurry!

It's a derby loss that doesn't feel half as bad as it could have. Heroic stuff 2nd half.

Proud of the lads. Micah and Milner were fantastic.

If City fight like that, no-one can touch them. No-one.

I agree. I had mixed feelings about this game. Obviously to lose would be a bummer... but... in the grand scheme of things Scum now have more matches to play with more injuries for a cup that we've just won
PLUS
Take the spirit of the second half with the first team players back for Wednesday night and we're back at Wembley.

Simples.

Until they get Newcastle away. That would satisfy my sense of justice.

at half time I was expecting to feel very very down/furious after 90 minutes. As it is, I'm pissed off that we are out but massively proud of that performance.

We were fantastic second half, bloody awesome stuff

do we finally have plan b?

Plan b or a tactic to use when the likes of Napoli & Un*t*d try to pick us off on the break - Kolarov looks marginally better at wing back ( mainly offensively as defensively he's dreadful)

Kolarov is crap at full back but his ability from free kicks almost makes him worth having.
