The same could be said for Arsenal after Wenger's selection.

Correct, neither manager was really bothered. Its just a competition that allows the blooding of new talent and gives fringe players a chance to impress.

It's just the way they say things, they will say 'Wenger's kids knock Liverpool out'. If it was the other way around, would they say 'Rafa's kids knock Wenger's out'?

Probably not as that doesn't tie in with what they've been printing for the last five years. When are these wonderkids going to actually win something?

Dont appreciate everyone jumping on the bandwagon when its united though. Every club has an element of p!ssed up young lads acting up, its gone on for decades in football. It was nowhere near as bad as whats being said in parts of the media. I dont condone people acting up like this but it will always happen when theres large groups of lads boozed up.

Who's jumping on the bandwagon? I read this thread a couple of hours after the game and there was no mention of it whatsover. So I decided to just mention it. It wasn't nice to hear, no matter what football club it is involved.

By your assumption then, I could say that if this was Liverpool fans that did it, I know that this thread wouldn't be at 14 pages by now, it would be at 30.

Was on Catalan news. They often have a great goal from the day before at the end of the sports section.
