Reading this....it's just pathetic. Your football team...has just won a major European trophy for the first time in roughly 41 years....and your main focus is not to celebrate and be joyful....but instead play it down and undermine the achievement.

The guy must be a realist
 
I’d prefer we play academy kids in the LC and focus on the FA Cup

Too many games to win the LC
I agree with this. It's usually seen as the easier of the 2 to win but looking back over the last 10 or so years one of the top 2-3 teams has won it, usually the league champions because they're in peak form/fitness by the time the final comes around. FA Cup has been won by really poor Woolwich and United teams recently because it's at the back end of a season when teams are focusing on other things and are more mentally and physically drained.
 
Some countries do have it, some don't. Some (like Germany) take their Charity Shield thing more seriously. It's ok. It's another pot. I'd like to win it, but would far rather win the EL to that or the FA Cup tbh. Somehow the FA Cup at the new Wembley isn't as special.

Premier League -> Champions League -> Europa League -> FA Cup -------------> League cup-->Conference League-->Community shield------> Audi Cup
 
It's amazing to see how the euphoria and hysteria makes a lot of people suddenly forget just what we have become underhim.. Where's the objectivity gone?
Do you really think that winning this trophy will make us/him any better? Stop being so short sighted....some of you..!

In 2 seasons we’ve finished 5th and then won the Europa League under him.

That’s happened whilst gutting the senior members of the squad and bedding in an absurd amount of Talented teenagers. Those teenagers and academy kids now associate playing for the seniors with winning major trophies.

Exactly

It’s our trophy as well. About time people were reminded of that.

None of this home and away leg rubbish in December and January neither
 
Yeah this is Ten Hag's second season in a nutshell. Even here the general sentiment has already turned in favour of him it seems, like how the majority of United fans hopped back on the Ten Hag bandwagon after their Fa Cup win. Don't think Levy and co are less fickle than members of this forum, so he's definitely staying.

Bad news is that we will once again be hovering around the relegation zone next year as long as he's in charge. With the addition of CL football to the mix players will continue dropping like flies, and even with a fully fit squad I don't see us winning many games with this incoherent mess that our football has devolved into under him.

Good news is that he most likely won't see the new year, so relegation won't be a serious cause for concern. It'll be another lost season, at least as far as league campaign is concerned, but whatever.

I can tolerate a few more months of him. But I just hope we don't fill the team with his handpicked dross under the name of "backing" him, like how United did with Ten Hag after the latter's Fa Cup win. That would set us back for years.
 
Fair enough!

i hope we do it again next season!
100% it will make him and the players better absolutely no doubt - they are winners they now know what it takes to be winners and to get a taste of it they will want more
Yes the prem campaign has been generally woeful but there are extenuating circumstances- an obscene amount of injury’s to key players through out the season with 2 lengthy cup runs resulting in a heavy workload and a very young squad signed for the future but not prem ready I’d say very few managers would have done any better
 
I can respect opinions about not wanting Ange to be here next season (even if I disagree), but I don’t respect our fans downplaying the achievement of winning the Europa League. Your agenda has blinded your joy.
no one's downplaying the trophy, we're just pointing out that we aren't 'champions of europe' which is what many of you are saying as you try and attack your fellow supporters. talk about wasting the celebration. why don't you log off and go have some fun rather than bathing in self righteousness today?
