1. To those United fans who reported some of the posts after the match, GROW UP! It's muppets like yourselves who give proper Reds a bad name. Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal fans, whoever, are all perfectly entitled to dish it out after a result like that. It's what makes rivalry the great bit of craic that it is. Clearly, in a literal sense, Liverpool fans are in no position to slag United fans off, given they are not even in Europe this season. But they are our biggest rivals FFS! What else are they going to do? How many laugh out loud moments have they given us over the years? It's swings and roundabouts. I can't even believe that I have to point this out to people.

2. I'm genuinely glad that United are now out of the Champions League. I'm not trying to be smart after the event but it takes away the sense of entitlement that surrounds certain United fans (see above) and if it gets rid of a few of the clowns along the way then all the better.

3. As far as the team itself goes, United are not in as bad a shape as some would have us believe. There are certain players who are clearly not at the level required to get United to the top in Europe. However, any squad that can call on Rooney, Hernandez, Vidic, Jones, Smalling, the Da Silvas, Welbeck, Cleverley, De Gea is not in too bad a position. Two or three world class signings are clearly needed and if going out of the Champions League so early doesn't force the issue at OT then nothing will.

In the meantime, heads up, chins out...and if you can't take a bit of slagging, go and follow Chelsea, as a wise man once said.

The de silvas, what are you smokin

Have you considered that perhaps watching Liverpool is the Sh1t part?

When teams managed by Steve McClaren and Roy Hodgson can make it to the final, you know it is a mickey mouse tournament.

Waste of time for City and United, who will be playing their weaker squad members, and focus on the league.

Unbelievably Spoiled. City pre money would have loved to win the UEFA cup. 6 games in the European cup and they're too good for it, it's not worth our time for it.

Football Clubs exist to win trophys. Also goes a long way to help with uefa coefficient and if city were to win the UEFA cup it would go a long way to maybe being drawn as second seeds for next years European Cup.

Well now in fairness City didn't exactly take it too serious last year!

'Waste of time' ?
