Wolves would've beaten City in the final, Watford haven't a hope.

Pricks.
Agree with this.

Wolves play good football and with their quality up front they would have caused city serious problems.

What Santos was doing with his substitutions I'll never understand.

Can’t stand Wolves. Always hated them even before tonight, horrible club, awful city, I abhor everything about them and hope they disappear again soon.
Same.

I'm not too far from Wolverhampton and it seems most people around by us support them.

You'd have thought they'd won the World Cup after the draw against us in the league last September, had to get the train back down here and it was full of them.

If the players were wondering Maldives will be awesome. Could always try California or the Bahamas? Put those thinking caps on, it's a busy few weeks ahead for you. :cool:

The Jimenez mask celebration at 2-0 looks very very embarrassing now.
Good. Hope that teaches him to celebrate at the end of the game next time, or he can give up the stupid mask.

There really is only one way for wolves to put this right now. Have to win the "first* side to win in the league at Anfield this season cup"

*hopefully second after Chelsea go there and pull off a 0-3 shock with Henderson slipping for the vital second following a Van Dijk own goal.

Amazed at the bitterness towards them. Play good football and are pretty likeable. Their style of play is suited to playing bigger teams. They weren't even that good against United midweek compared to their performances v other big sides this season.

People still get upset over that? Of course fans and teams will celebrate unlikely draws and wins against the top 6.

Give Ed Wood a few more years and maybe you'll know that feeling mind.

It would be poetic for Chelsea to make Liverpool 'slip again.'

As for Wolves. Pity they did not go through today. They are a good footballing side even if we gifted them the win last week.

Also they may give Liverpool a little surprise.

Having been at the game i thought Wolves were very naive and negative. Scored from two set pieces, threw all their defenders on the pitch and sat back for the whole game. Pretty much invited a Watford onslaught on them for he entire second half and got what they deserved with the equaliser. Having being so defensive they had little quality left on the pitch to turn the game back in their favour.

It was always going to happen. For me at least, it was a knowingly bitter shit-eating grin I was wearing at full time. I hope no United fans without direct contact with the club or their fans has genuine hatred for Wolves after they've beaten us a couple of times, but a bit of wry piss taking now is par for the course.

Resting his best players. Surely you can't lose a 2-0 lead.

Delighted they’ve lost, will bring them down a peg or two.
Don’t need them down a peg or two! We’re done with them for the season, yet they still have Liverpool, Arsenal and would have been City in the final. We want them flying high!

Agreed. United walked all over them till they got the equaliser, and even then they didn't look to be doing much till the sending off.

United shot themselves in the foot multiple times in that game, it wasn't a case of them massively raising their game.

What I don't get with the bile is Wolves have stepped up against other rival teams, they won at Spurs, drew 1-1 at Arsenal and could easily beat them at home on April 24th and also took 4 points off Chelsea. All results that could be vital for 4th if Man. United start winning again.

They also could yet deny Liverpool the league on final day of the season.

I could understand things more if Wolves just played well against Man. United and rolled over to everyone else in the top 6,

Wolves have done well against the top 6, hope that continues. We gifted them two goals really.

What I didn't like today was that crap mask celebration. He scored a great chest down volley at Wembley and ruins the momentum of the celebration rummaging around for some shite mask.

They rested their team at Burnley and threw away the PTS to have a stronger team out against United which was closer to their semi final. They deserved what they got today. They should have gone full strength at Burnley instead of their cup final versus us. Look where it got them. Threw 3pts away in league and didn't get to the final anyway. feck Wolves.

They're playing for nothing in the league basically, why wouldn't they want to do better against United than Burnley? They had 5 days between the United game and the Semi, there was no need to rest anyone against United, regardless of what happened today.

If you're going to celebrate scoring a goal like that; your team has to win.
Why? The mask was a gift to him by a mexican wrestler.

It's not like he was cocky or anything... it was a cool celebration that wasn't disrespectful at all so what's the problem?

Each to their own I guess. I thought it was a bit daft.

This is a shame. No way Watford will beat City barring a miracle. Wolves would have had a much better chance.

I still don't get why Wolves rested players against Burnley and started full team against us when our match was closer to this.

They are a small time outfit who have spent stupid amounts of cash on wages and fees for players that they only got through some odd deal with Mendes.

They were celebrating beating United in mid week with Oles and fecking fireworks. Their fans are proper fecking gobby.

The media act as though they are some incredible story like they built this side by scouting local lads and turning them good when it's nothing of the sort.

They knocked us out of the cup fair and square, but it's always nice to see the side who knocked you out then go out themselves.

Because their real cup final is against United. It's pretty clear what their priorities were. They saw Watford as a formality and it bit them on the arse. It's very satisfying

Having thought about it, maybe they thought they needed the stronger team to get points from the United game? I'm not sure what this "United cup final" is... are we supposed to have some rivalry against them? Or are people just acting butt-hurt?

No idea. I just enjoyed seeing them get knocked out after being 2-0 and acting like they were already in the final.

They've bought players who wouldn't have picked Wolverhampton out on a map before they got a rich owner. Another in a long line of sugar daddy clubs trying to buy their way into the champions league.

Thought it was funny and satisfying. If you didn't then that's fine :D

To be fair, I didn't care too much. My concern was more to do with Wolves being more likely to beat City than Watford. Plus, whenever we lose in a competition, and it's not against a bitter rival/due to controversial circumstances, I usually prefer that team to win the tournament.

They also might have rested half their team at Anfield with a cup final 6 days later. Surely we want wolves looking to end their season on a high?

Luchador masks are a big part of Mexican culture, what's wrong with him bringing a little bit of his culture out there?
Nothing. He can celebrate how he wants. My original point was if you celebrate in an elaborate way or have some sort of pre-planned celebration and your team then goes onto lose; it looks a bit daft.

Its bad for us because now Wolves dont have much to play for the remaining season means Arsenal will have an easy game against them next week

Huh? All their focus should now be on the league and finishing as high as possible for them, securing that potential EL spot is key.

They'll also want to bounce back next week.
