Match Day Thread Manchester United v Southampton - Milk Cup Final

This match typifies what winning football is ultimately about.

It has been said by everyone by now, the Saints dominated the game. Yet in my view United had more threat in front of goal and were more likely to score when they attacked. The only difference between the teams was the strike force. When Gabbiadini was subbed, the superiority became even more apparent.

 

Well done on landing first trophy of the season.

 

Second. We won the Plastic Plate as well

Shame your lot bottled it against Arsenal last season, think Mourinho might otherwise have been the first manager to win back to back with different clubs?

 

Some of the press pundits have confirmed what we all suspected for a while: not only don't they know more about football than the average fan, they ****ing have lower intelligence too.

Some have actually written that if Gabbiadini had not been denied that 11th minute goal he would have gone home with the match ball. Note the "would have" not "possibly" or "potentially".

They could not work out that that ruled out first "goal" at the 11th minute would have been different to a goal given when the game was at 2-2 when Gabbiadini had already scored his brace. That first 11th minute goal would have changed the course of the entire match.

 

Thought we lost to Stoke last season?

 

Meant the plastic plate - pretty sure no one has won that twice in a row with different clubs.
