you gotta chuckle at phantom and numerics arguments
out of all the football fans that have come and gone from this message board down the years, phantom is clearly the most clueless, even worse than RE:HAB, if that's possible
Numeric
Well... I wouldn't say united played especially well - they didn't have to, though we were a bit unlucky with the first two goals which in effect killed the game... I'm disappointed they didn't put up more of a fight though, there was no real leadership on display.
I mean they did well to get to the semi's and I thought there'd be no digrace going out at this stage and to the holders - unless we put in a disgraceful performance and after the 2 goals it wasn't far short of a disgrace, they were just going through the motions and put in no real effort, if that had happened to United or Liverpool things would have been very different.
Next season we need more leadership, comittment, physical presence, organisation and experience, plus greater tactical variety and the only way we'll get that is by splashing the cash. Though at least we'll have Arshavin in the Cl next season, without doubt our best player.
I feel sorry for Gibbs though, hopefully he'll bounce back and we'll give a lot of our young talent a go in the remai ning games, especially the British ones.
