Veeria

He did do well, but didn't have loads to do dispite all of reals pressure, one mistake or error in a game of that profile can be massive, I like him and rate him highly just think is naive to think he's a perfect keeper (if there is such a thing) already.

Didn't have a great game last night, hopefully everyone now sees he is human.

Oh I suppose not in the prem, maybe selhurst park. But I've been to worse stadiums than loftus road in cup ties

There is a lot worse.

Should of put Bamford on when they put Dawkins on, they would of won, no sympathy for derby cause of that stupid decision

Can understand people who can't make it to games wanting derby to win, but surely more regular goers prefer a short trip on the underground than one up to derby? Is win win for me I can't stand old 'arry and qpr but it would be funny to see him relegate yet another team.

Both, costa coming back from an injury, lukaku not tested in our team and still question marks over mandzukic means we can't say any of them are perfect options. The more players we have the more likelihood that at least one will work. We have been burnt with strikers before, let's not risk it again, go all out and let the ones that don't work be unhappy, couldn't care less, loan them in January, sell for a loss, we need one good striker and ruining players carriers would be a small price to pay. Ruthless.

Feeling really gutted that we were just 45 minutes away from being in the final tonight, watching the build up on ssn is a bit gutting, I'd of loved a trip to Lisbon this weekend.

Davey you're talking rubbish mate.

Can't say I've watched him loads, but he's been in most people's teams of the year for la liga so must be doing something right.

I expect to see a much more confident Jose next season, he'll tell the media that we can challenge for the title, he's said that all this year, that we will be ready next season. It does seem that the board is trusting Jose, they seem to be letting him make the transfers he wants and I think the only thing they'll want to see is improvement, if Jose doesn't get a long run in charge of Chelsea, no one will.

I'm not talking about the way he spoke about the referees I do think he could of acted better with his handling of that. I'm saying that what he said about Wenger wasn't a mistake. What Jose said is still valid and you say that you agree with his point that Wenger has failed for many years now, if you agree with his opinion why do you think it was a mistake to say them to the press? Especially after being called out by Wenger? Maybe it was said out of anger, but after hearing Wengers comments I made sure I tuned in to Joses press conference, because I wanted him to retaliate, I'd of been annoyed if he had said nothing.

You'd get a lot of MDMA for the price Luiz would go for.

Who is more embarrassed about the league, the man who said they can't win it and finishes 3rd, getting within a few games of being champions, or the man who says they are going to win it and finishes 4th, miles away from it, getting absolutely battered in the big games and dropping out the title race months before the end? If you think that one fa cup in nine years isn't failing what are your standards of success? This was a team that went a whole season unbeaten and since then have been in decline. Whether we like it or not the FA cups prestige has all but disappeared, when Arsenal take a trophy from Wigan then I don't see how it can be seen as a great achievement. Don't get me wrong, I'd of been happy to of won it and I think it's been a good season for Arsenal but one good season and 8 poor ones isn't enough. If you remember Joses words were that if he were in charge of Chelsea for 9 years without a trophy he would walk away, he wouldn't get that long but that's a different point. Also you're forgetting that Wenger did attack Jose from nowhere, Jose scared of failure? Has everyone forgotten this is the man who came to England and declared himself the special one, if anyone was setting the self up to fail then it was Jose back then, he is very honest but people always say its mind games. Forget your football analogies, if this was a boxing match it would have been stopped already.

Not saying they're great options, it was slim chances of getting most of them and they may not have worked, just don't buy the argument that there are not strikers out there, we didn't go in for any of the players I mentioned and I don't think we really went in for Falcao or cavani, because we thought all along we'd get Rooney, that was the mistake for me.

I think it's the other way round, we didn't really try for the big names because we always had Rooney as our main target, I'm sure if we really wanted to we could of got either one of Falco or Cavani. Plenty of other strikers we could of gone in for too, David Villa, Bony, Benzema, Suarez, Costa, Lewandowski, Higuian. If we really pushed we would of got one or two of these options, not saying they're great but there are other options.

Main mistake for me was believing Rooney was actually going to sign for us, Jose should of known he was only after a better contract. He was clearly the player Jose wanted and he let all the other decent options go. I'm glad we didn't sign him, but the mess with our striking situation hinged on him and it cost us.

Is funny how our best players this year have been mata, lukaku, courtious, t. Hazard, ba probably Moses too, the best players are ALWAYS the ones who don't get enough time, sold or loaned. Ashley Cole and JT are gonna be England's best players at the World Cup.

What?!?!? You can't be serious?

I think United are big enough that one season out of the CL won't stop players going there, just at the moment they need to sign so many and it's not always a sure thing they'll all work. Will reserve judgement on them until, nearer to the start of next season . Premier league: Chelsea Champions league: Chelsea Fa cup: United League cup: Arsenal Top four; 1. Chelsea 2. Man City 3. Arsenal 4. Liverpool

What happens if the team already winning it are in the champions league? Over the last ten years we would of had, Wigan, Portsmouth(twice), Stoke, Everton, Millwall and west ham in the champions league?

Think the only team Wigan played in the running to winning it who were bothered about Champions league more than them were Everton and Wigan might of still beat them if they had full strength teams out,can't remember the game but they might of done anyway. Maybe they wouldn't of played Milwall in the semis if other teams had been going for it but you don't know. When Wigan came up against city in the final it would of made no difference to city who had already secured their CL place, so really it would just be giving rubbish teams a CL spot, it might make the competition a little better but the league shows who is more deserving, also what happens if the team that wins the fa cup is already in the champions league? There would defineitly be some poor teams still managing to get to the final. Then look at this year, hull managed to get to the final without playing a big team, quite a few knocked each other out, Hull could of won it this year, Arsenal couldn't of tried anymore if it meant they would get CL place, they gave it everything already. I'm all for putting more value on the fa cup but CL spot for winners is madness.

If taking a team named the invincibles, who were one of the strongest in Europe and turning them into a team that can only win 1 fa cup, which was previously held by a championship team, isn't failure then I don't know what is. To be honest I can take comfort in the fact that their fa cup win (or champions league win, judging on the way it was celebrated) means that Wenger stays on, they will never be a title threat and will never contest in Europe with him as the manager.

I don't think we'll have those 3 were getting costa jr seems, but if we did its more than 'little improvement' Torres the same, Mandzukic better than etoo and ba same for lukaku, wouldn't be over excited but we'd of done better this year with those 3

I won't mind arsenal winning too much, we can just laugh at how much they will celebrate it and look at our success over 9 years. It also means Wenger will stay for a few more years at least, arsenal will never do anything serious under him, Wigan won last years fa cup won't mean they can suddenly win a league or champions league they can't beat big teams.
