In Moyes WE trust

[Amo]

Time to lurk on the Manure forums again.

[Tom]

Even Jason Wilcox thought those penalties were bad

[DE.]

Don't think I've ever seen a more pathetic penalty shoot out. Paid tens of thousands a week and can't even hit the target. It's horrific.

You can forgive Januzaj considering his age and the fact he basically carries the entire team. The rest of them should be ashamed of themselves. Hilarious to watch though enjoying seeing Moyes get humiliated.

[Amo]

Before the match:
Stupid question possibly: So if we get to the final and get battered by City- do we then get the Europa cup spot available to the winners of said cup given City will get Champions league instead by finishing in the top four?

Dear me, it's glorious what the plastics have been reduced to in such a short space of time.

Did Phil Jones pull a face when he missed his pen? Ive heard he's entering the Egremont World Champion Gurning Championship

Don't know how you could tell. Face like an elbow that lad.

[ABBEY]

Pens missed on purpose to get gollum sacked

David MOYES OBE

Out before easter

[arbitro]

Chuffed to bits to see wrinkly face at the end. I swear he was going to cry.

[Stuart]

Not yet, Abs. Wait til they are relegation candidates. Surely you can 'see what he is trying to do there'.

Take the positives. He's clearly forfeited a day out at Wembley to focus on the league.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

What's Mata like at taking penalties ?

What was 'Arry doing there?

[cn174]

Hahah made my evening!! Can't wait for the excuses tomorrow. Of course they wouldn't have been bothered about winning the Carling Cup.....

[Rover_Shaun]

Steve Kean is disgusted

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Major problems at Utd. Fergie managed to paper over the cracks last season but the reality is there for all to see. The lack of quality throughout the team is staring the plastics in the face now. They played a lowly Sunderland over two games and still lost.

[DE.]

Without Rooney and RVP United are a very, very average team. The likes of Buttner, Welbeck, Evans and Cleverly wouldn't look out of place at the likes of Fulham or Villa. Ferguson could get an extra 10-20% out of these players, but now he's gone Moyes has not only brought them back down to their actual level but is arguably making a lot of the players in that team worse. They are going to get absolutely murdered when they come up against a decent team in the Champions League.

Even the police are having a giggle at their expense...haha

GMP Chorlton ‏@GMPChorlton14m

Football found in Chorlton; early investigations suggest it may belong to Phil Jones ;/

[Guest Norbert]

Can't wait to see the shootout. Sounds like there were some real Chris Waddles.

[thenodrog]

Mata is a quality player. Great signing for utd, no idea how Jose doesn't rate him.

The utd squad needs rebuilding and mata is a great start. Depressing.

I'm yet to be convinced that Mata is as good as his press. A fine player but not a worldie.... and 40m should buy a worldie.

[thenodrog]

Hernandez did his best to miss that goal.

These penalties are hilarious. Jones in particular did not look like he wanted it and his technique was bloody awful. Credit to Sland keeper all the same.

[jim mk2]

Continuing problem of poor technique and temperament with domestic players when it comes to penalties. The Germans must be having a good old lachen.

[onlyonejackwalker]

How bad was that??? I've seen kids handle penalties better. Embarrassing for professionals. Few looked confident or struck it well. Both keepers did well for the shootout. United look bang average without RVP and Rooney.

[Guest Norbert]

I really hope a couple of people are in work today. It would be hilarious to watch.

[Audax]

May be of interest to some, we use to get some "A-League" matches every weekend, I'll have to look up where they have them on satellite now:

A consortium led by Manchester City have bought A-League club Melbourne Heart, with the owners of NRL club Melbourne Storm also involved.

After struggling to make an impact on and off the field since making their debut in the competition in 2010, Heart had been the subject of a bid from Victorian Premier League club South Melbourne last year.
