One positive, this, IT'S OURS ! 
What does the exit from UCL mean for United?
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
look...we are fecked this season. New players....all our old ones out..it was bound to happen. I trust in Fergie....he's been through this before. No we probably won't win anything this season..but feck me does he pull it out later...
Bolocks. They'll be gutted going out tonight when it looked like Villareal were going to do them a favour.
One word. Transition.
If we play the same shite football as against Palace, I hope we get knocked out ASAP otherwise I'll be considering not renewing next year with this automatic cup bollocks. I don't mind the team losing, but not when we take the piss with the squad and football quality and I'm forced to pay £££ to put up with it.
It's been fecking embarrassing being a United fan this season. Stop it.

So Instead of improving after being raped by Barca twice, we have become even worse.
Really need to sign quality player.
What is Ferguson thinking?

A reality check for many players hopefully.Yes the team and the players are good but it still take concentration, envy and tremendous work to achieve what has seemed like a routine process.
Not yet, Man City are in there too. Those feckers! Is it going to be an all English final for the first time in the Europa League this season? This is of course assuming we don't get matched up against each other in the knockout rounds.One positive, this, IT'S OURS !
It dirctly means we will have even less money in the transfer market.
Like feck we will. With all my love to Fergie not byuing a cm or two for the last 3 Years has been nothing short of stupid. In addtion Young, Park, Valencia are not top class wingers by any means.
it means disappointment. Injuries, lack of form and a lack of cutting edge quality in the middle of the park all contributed but it was there for the taking.
A bit of a wake up call but it happens.

weve just lost about 40 million in revenue.......
If United plays like they did against Basel there is no way they'll reach the final.
What a pile of fecking shit.
It means getting rid of the dead wood that we have within the squad.
Too many average players at the club imo

This is something i dont understand at all, what sort of transtion are we in? Are we bedding in a new cm? New strikers? Wingers? We didnt have a squad overhaul last season just some cosmetic changes. Ffs!
It means we'll probably have to start offering potential January signings a Veyron or two.
The gap with Barcelona (and Real) got a lot bigger.
the fecking forum we're in we won't make it outta the first pairing in the EL
It means we got punished for not buying players to improve the squad. We did buy yes but it was far from what was required. It also means its time to cut the remaining dead wood at seasons end; park, Evans, and others need to be moved on.
Our CL place next season are in danger. I'm not so sure we will finish top four if we continue to play this bad.
Loss of income and prestige.

Sorry what did Evans do tonite?
Disaster for the club, as we spent quite much this summer and only for this to happen. I just hope Fergie will get some money to spend and we will be fine as usual.
such a fecking shame money lost not making it to the final 16 and with the club United biggest in the world and we can't get outta the group stages fecking ell....
Really? Since August, its been shite? Who the feck were you watching? Scunthorpe?
Some of us were nervous about De Gea and also thought an old head such as Scot Parker might have been prudent.
Well make the top 4 easily. Our players can't be off form all season.
We can't beat Basel and you are worried about Barca and Real?
It means the Europa League.
A massive financial loss and obviously none of us will have to go to the loo for weeks as the piss will be taken out of us constantly.
Still, at least we'll have plenty of United games to watch. Finishing 4th in 2005 was worse, now I know the feeling of finishing 3rd.

I want out of the Europa league.
Pisstake competition that will only distract us. I hope we play the kids and feck it off.

Man I can see what is happening when we exit the UCL.
We were supposed to at least keep the gap or close it a bit, now there's a huge fecking chasm. They'd probably rip us with either Ronaldo and Higuain, or Messi and Xavi on the bench
This Europa cup lark, is it knockout from the off?
That's what we're looking at
Have no clue how this Europa League draw works.
feck sake Leroy I'm too old for fancy graphics.
Because we lost so much of that at the end of last season with the mass exodus of so much dressing room experience. VDS, Scholes, JOS, Brown etc, thats a heck of a load of 'mental strength. Im not saying they should have stayed, each of them leaving was for the right reasons, but you just cant 'buy' experience. the much underrated JOS had played in excess of 60 CL games FFS!
How many times do Man United glory hunters need it drilled into them? We have NO divine right to win anything, you cant win every year (ask Real Madrid!), great teams last a max 4 year cycle (our last one ended last season) and we are a side in transition AND YET we also have a squad packed full of very promising youth, have a solid set of mature players and are just a signing or two short of the creation of another fearsome team.
I really don't mind going out ... we clearly did not deserve to go through and our new emerging side does not currently possess the know how how to play consistently as a team together, let alone mount a serious campaign in this years CL. Given I never had any expectation of a serious challange in this years CL, I dont feel too bad.
In many ways, its a good thing this has happened .... and hopefully a kind draw in the Europa cup can replace the Carling Cup loss as a way for the younger players to play in serious high intensity games, make their mistakes and learn from them ... The CL is too serious a competition for Smalling to be learning about co-ordination and understanding alongside Vidic (which led to the first Basle goal).
SAF and the squad now need to get this quickly out of their system, focus on what is now a huge FA cup 3rd round draw, keep ticking over with nicking narrow wins in the league until we can find some rhythm (which WILL COME with time) and sort out our horrendous injury problems.
We the fans need to encourage our young emerging team and for once just enjoy seeing them develop as a unit. Is that too much to ask a 'fan' to do or will this board be subjected to constant whinging and bollox?
PS: Not specifically aimed at Leroy the Red.
It is a little harsh that we only lost one game in our group and we still ended up going out of the UCL.
That's one hell of a "Top Red" speech
No but yeah you make good points but I expect more leadership from Rio and Wayne, we've still got Vidic and Giggs too.
The colossal drop in confidence since the city game is seriously worrying though, its very Arsenalesque. Surely you see that?
