If it means we don't get top 4, then no we shouldn't take the FA Cup too seriously.
ThisWe aren’t good enough to turn momentum on & off again.
We’re getting 5 subs & water breaks - we should be pursuing the Top4 & FA Cup wholeheartedly. European competition has been removed till the end of the season & they’ve had 2 months off, time for excuses is up - play to win in every game.
This asterisk is a load of shite as If somehow a trophy is harder to win.There are only 7 league games left, possibly 3 FA Cup games. The Premier League will be over by the time of the final. The Europa League matches won't be on until domestic football is finished.
Why wouldn't you take it seriously? The players aren't going to be tired. Fail to see the logic here, 3 games from a trophy, one against Norwich.
Why would it have an asterisk? No games were compromised, you would have won it fair and square.
Personally, I don't necessarily agree with that. I think the league is hit more because of the lockdown because the gap alters so much. If you have played all the tough teams at home already prior to the lockdown, having the reverse fixtures behind closed doors gives you an advantage that wouldn't normally be there. Similarly, if you had an injury crisis back in march you could have been in trouble, but the break has allowed those players to recover. It upsets the natural progression of a league season and creates an imbalance in the system of playing each team home and away.Penna, I love the FACup.
But I have always loved United fans for lack of bias and objectivity.
Can you disagree with the statement:
“any trophy won after lockdown lifted is nowhere near as valid as a normal trophy win.”
I think that is fair.
We aren’t in a position right now to even ask this question.Every trophy counts right now and we should grab every chance of lifting some silverware.I don’t agree about the trophy having a asterisk next to it...We will still be legitimate Cup winners if we win the trophy.Just because there won’t be any supporters inside the stadium,we cant begin to think that winning it doesn’t matter any more...Listen, I absolutely love the FA Cup. I think it is an amazing competition and I enjoy it every year.
But tbh, I’ve only just found out we are in it this year. On one hand lifting that trophy would be amazing, but it is also obvious that any trophies won from after we come back will not really mean as much. We wouldn’t be proper FA Cup winners for the season as the trophy will always have a massive asterisk next to it.
How does everyone else feel? I’d give my left testicle to win the trophy normally... this year just would feel off.
Who we playing?I'm sure everyone would rather us to get that CL spot. However, now that we're in semi, we should just take it seriously.
Are you asking for prediction?Who we playing?
OK, Can I have next week's Lotto numbers too, Please?Are you asking for prediction?
Chelsea, City & Arsenal if I have to make prediction who will go through and we'll get Chelsea in semi to let Ole does the quadruple against Lampard and Arsenal will make a shocking victory against City and we will have classic FA Cup match again between United & Arsenal in final.
Are you drunk?OK, Can I have next week's Lotto numbers too, Please?
Yes. Winning trophies is a good habit to get in to and being in high pressure games will only benefit a team thats growing.Listen, I absolutely love the FA Cup. I think it is an amazing competition and I enjoy it every year.

In fairness the thread was written when we had more than that left.It’s a bit of a wind up I get it but I think he knows the answer to should we take 2 games seriously to get into the biggest cup final comp in England ...
