No one is stopping City this season. The cheats have finally won.
Do you place more trust on us or Inter to stop City's treble?
- Thread starter Sir Erik ten Hag
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's emphatic 4-1 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford and celebrate Manchester United being back in the Champions League. They also discuss United Women, takeover latest and transfer rumours before previewing the FA Cup Final vs. Manchester City.
Everyone is fearing the final and the getting a treble. Will be a of pressure on them and finals are one-off dog fights.
Of course they have the ability to smash both of us but we will give them a fight and we've done it before.

We need a combined 11.

Dumfries Varane Skriniar Shaw
Barella Casimero

They will lose both.
Spurs were fairly abject.
If they lose the cup final their morale will be shot. I thought same in 1999. The had we lost against Newcastle because all the focus and expectation was on the treble if that had suddenly been taken from us days before the CL final I don't think we'd have had the spirit to get through that game and win
Yes of course the FA Cup is the least prestigious of the three, but I think the derailing of the momentum and knowing you let something historic slip through your fingers, would potentially ensure the CL final plans went awry.

It’s inevitable that they’ll win the treble. We’ll get slaughtered in the cup final.
I just want to win our last 2 prem games. Will give us momentum into next season.

Inter.
Liverpool somehow beated Milan in 2005, and the difference was a big as the one between City and Inter now.
Plus there is more pressure for City in the UCL than in an FA Cup.

surely the emotional factor makes us the bigger threat to City
We've beaten them this year
Ten Hag can surely get us up for this

I don’t have any faith that Inter can do anything but roll over and have City tickle their tummy. It’s going to suck watching them lift the CL, finally getting the ‘legitimacy’ they crave.
No, if we want a job doing, we’re going to have to do it ourselves!

Inter, not because of them but down to Peps bizarre selection freakouts that seem to happen in finals. There’s a slight chance he goes full lunatic and picks a weird lineup….if not Inter will get pasted
City winning the title reasonably early could end up helping us a little. It's natural that they'll ease off in the games that follow and lose some intensity. The momentum they'd built up from their winning run has dipped slightly by 'only' beating Chelsea 1-0 and drawing last night. Brentford away won't be an easy game either, especially as they need to win for a chance of a Europa League place.
The FA Cup final is nearly 3 weeks after their last meaningful game, hopefully we can take advantage of that.

We have beaten City this year already so United.
I'd be surprised if either stopped City winning the treble. Amused and surprised.
The outcome of football matches has nothing to do with trust. But everything to do with how 1 team performs against the other one that particular day with those particular circumstances.
As has been said. City are very good at minimising mistakes. And very few in the dangerous areas. That is the way to win football matches.
But cup finals can be a lottery.
And we beat Bournemouth. Name on the trophy!
Can Inter shithouse, dive, play act and foul their way to a win? We all hope so
0-0 until the 94th minute and Inter score from a corner would be nice.Can Inter shithouse, dive, play act and foul their way to a win? We all hope so
Hard to know where the bigger explosion would be, the Man City dugout or my pants
Wasn’t impressed with Inter last night at all. As solid as they looked in the Milan derbies they were anything but last night . Constantly being sliced open. Don’t actually know how they didn’t concede the equaliser. Clutching at straws at this point…
Would be even better if it was lukaku or Dzeko.
the CL final, in my opinion, is a given.. City will walk the park, mop the floor, etc with Inter, who I just don't think are very good.
It's easy for City to dominate the league given their quality and squad depth.. with no depth, we could never be as consistent in the league as them, which is what is required to win.
A final is a one off.. it's completely different.We're definitely the underdogs in the FA cup final, but there's no reason we can't put up a fight.
If we had a full squad with no injuries ready to go for the final, I think it's probably a 65-35% chance city win.... without Martinez and varane, we're definitely going to have a lower chance of success... but not impossible.

Lot of people underestimating Inter. It's easy to mock the fact that they have a few of our rejects in their squad but they have some very good players too.
Imagine an Inter win with Mkhi, Lukaku and Darmian scoring. That would be one hell of a narrative
United have the better chance if ETH doesn't go gung-ho as he has done a few times this season. Sit back and counter. If he tries to attack them they'll exploit the spaces and we'll lose.
Inter have a chance purely because they will sit back and try to counter with the full backs and Lautaro / Lukaku. Probably gives them about a 20% chance, whereas a team like Napoli would've tried to go head to head and would've been slaughtered. Still not a great chance at 20% though. A lot will depend on Lukaku, if he can capture some of his old Inter form and run at their defenders then they could create something.
