Hard to understand Unai playing his second choice keeper.

Hard to understand Ole not.

Delighted for Emery. Villarreal rode their luck in the match but fuck United Have to say doubt we would have contained United better than Emery in the final

Just need Citeh to beat Chelsea and we can put a line under this horrid season.

We seem to be jinxed in Europe.

Still can't believe we lost to f*cking Galatasaray!

Clrnc, still think Emery is a shit manager?

I have always said he is not a top manager for a top team, but has always done well for small clubs. His tactics suit small clubs and underdogs, not PSG and Arsenal.

Villareal players stuck to the game plan, as insane as it seemed, and it paid off in both the semi and the final. Played for each other, even when it wasn't fun. They all did the dirty work and resisted going for individual glory.

Watching Rashford taking selfish shots, Pogba flitting around like his shit doesn't stink, and that little shit Fernandes making it all about him...so easy to hope they lose. So many Arsenal players have been the same in recent times. The way Emery left us was embarrassing and our players deserve so much of the blame, and yet they get away with it.

If Emery wins tonight, I will start to consider that our club is cursed

The guy have never lost a single KO tie in Europa league in his career other than Baku final How unlucky are we?

Insane record though, Europa should create a special trophy for Emery. Villarreal's run was terribly tough, and so was all his Sevilla's victories.

Going to come down to which keeper hits it well

Rulli took the best pen bar Coquelin. Takes some balls to put your foot through it like that In a final

He fucked up in Europe with PSG.

Maybe he is just good with Spanish sides.

Emery to Inter (my prediction).

Fernandes crying Can't happen to a nicer cheat.

Always nice to see a small club like this punch their way to victory. All their fans crying. Can't believe Capoue, Coquelin etc have now won a European trophy. Coquelin's penalty though, take a bow

Heh, great result. Been at work and couldn't face following it so just checked the result expecting to see United had thrashed them.

Hard to believe, but according to Transfermarkt Rulli's career penalty record was 29% saved before this.

Maybe Emery can only truly get his vision and gamplan over in his native tongue, who knows.

Should be renamed Emeryopa Cup in his honour

Spanish side has always beaten an English side in a European final since 2001 when Alaves lost to Liverpool (unluckily)

Honestly can't believe Fernandes won the toss and chose to kick 2nd. Dumbass

Great result. I did suspect this might happen. The United fans I know were really confident and I couldn't understand it. They're a team that has maybe 3 or 4 good players, at most. And some of those get way too much praise.

Weird team. Play with no urgency. I think they’ll struggle to improve too. Usually one or two smart signings elevate a team but what do they do? I think they some fundamental changes in their approach

Maybe but credit to Emery. A lot of Arsenal fans underestimated him.

EPL is a piss poor joke of a farmers league. This team actually genuinely finished 2nd

Didn't notice that.  The entire reason ABBA was introduced was because the team that goes first wins too often for statistical comfort. Sure it was abandoned again because the people watching thought it was weird, but that's beside the point.

Thank fuck.

Fuck off De Gea you shitbird.

I'm  not sure De Gea loves Man utd that much - wouldn't be surprised if he did that on purpose. You heard it here first. #spanishconspiracy...

I mean he did play dead for a dozen penalties

some great shithousery systemwide on redcafe. Turning to slumber with some pleasure from here: https://www.redcafe.net/threads/we-lost-and-this-forum-is-fuming-but.463099/

Not that I'm defending United in any way, but the 2nd placed team in Bundesliga didn't exactly cover themselves in glory against Liverpool either who were in atrocious form at the time. The 2nd placed team in Spain didn't stand a chance against Chelsea. The second placed team in Serie A went out against United, the team we're making fun of.  I guess there are just farmers leagues all over the place.

Yeah but none of these leagues have pundits like Scholes and Savage who need taking behind the shed to be beaten like fucking dogs.

"this is it, this is the shootout to decide whether United will win the EL"
"I'm telling you Coquelin will miss this penalty"
"it's easier to be Villarreal because no one expects you to create anything"
"United lack leaders" "Well what leaders do Villarreal have?"

This was possibly the worst commentary and punditry I've ever heard in a football match. I'll keep taking the piss out of England thank you

Funny how we’re the only club he couldn’t win the Europa League with.

That's great. I never watch English teams in Europe with English commentary if I can avoid it, it's awful. Even City vs PSG was like that, and City don’t even have any legends to infiltrate the media with.

Cursed club in getting cursed shocker.

You could say Unai had himself...a pretty good ebening.

Yeah, it was embarrassing. I get home country bias but at least do some research ffs.

To be fair this is the worst its ever been. Not just the bias but the blatant incompetence and lack of any relevant knowledge, just a bunch of smelly fossils vibing with their back in my day insights. Takes some doing to make German commentators and pundits look professional but that's how bad its gotten.

By the way De Gea hasn't saved a penalty since 2016. 300kpw and conceded 36 straight penalties since then

His shot stopping has gone to shit too after that ridiculous season. Made too many errors.

I can't believe they didn't sub in Henderson who is a PK expert, 8 saved out of 17 penalties

Come get me, daddy.

Kid must genuinely like him. He brought him through at PSG and then here as well I guess?

He was from Lorient.

The 2nd tweet was a double edge meaning presumably. "your benevolence and your authenticity in human relationships."

Anyway, great to see Cazorla yesterday. Wished he hasn't left them and won it with them.

We did that man Emery wrong so I’m quite happy for him. It still bothers me if I’m honest. Especially since I believe we went for a vastly inferior manager to replace him.

We didn't do him wrong at all. His first season was ok and we stuck by him for that. In his second season his results absolutely deserved to get him fired. Its just annoying we hired the wrong replacement and allowed him to do even worse.
