Wow is what I recall writing on live chat, I was too busy screaming the house down to do much else. That was a generational game, one of those lucky enough to be there or not to have left will remember forever, it was sensational on TV. Watch to the end in games like that, I have played it back about 20 times this morning. Enjoy that moment. Fancy leaving before the end on a game like that, probably the best comeback ever
We scored five goals and won 5.4, I read the only other time we had that scoreline was the pre Munich Arsenal game. In all the mayhem the who scored mattered. Amorim said Maguire was the only one capable of scoring a header, that's a terrible indictment of what forwards we have.
Can we really win a competition with such inept forwards? Lovely morning after last night, but perhaps Harry will get the Number 9 position in the league games to see if he can improve our scoring, after all, there is nothing else.

Other than the one a forward scored the week before.
But as there were no forwards available/ on the pitch at the time, he probably was the only one on the pitch that could.

What a mint game thought it was over McGuire what an absolute legend of a man surely beat that Spanish team they're no great all set up cor Spurs in the final winning manager keeps his job add a bit of spice.

I wouldn't underestimate Bilbao. To do so, would be at out peril.

I am so happy for Maguire, to have that moment at OT. If I get the chance ever, I will plant a smacker on that big beautiful bonce of his and just thank him because me and my son will never forget that moment and the pandemonium that ensued.
I will remember those last 5 to 10 mins forever and fortunately forget about the rest!
It's best left to Sir Alex to sum it all up.

Maguires trash, he ducked for their 2nd, let their winger skin him in our box for their 3rd and should have been blown for a foul for his winner. let's not get it twisted because his names on the scoresheet.
18 Apr 2025 14:59:54
Just overlooking Bilbao is foolish, they have the added incentive of final is in there city, they have fantastic player in Williams and some good others too and they are a team…. They are no mugs, with us who knows who turns up!
It’s a tough game, but we can keep fingers crossed, but still a severe worry with the GK and no striker…damning incitement on Rasmus again 5 goals and he can’t even get a shot on target, a midfielder who not played for weeks comes on and scores! He is really a shocking striker…. hope we can ship him out.

G Nev,
In what world was it a foul for the goal? Absolutely none whatsoever, give your head a wobble. If all you can do after that last night is pick fault then I don’t think United or football are for you.
18 Apr 2025 18:08:08
Absolutely not a foul, G Nev, but we should have had a second penalty when he's being tagged down by the defender who then throws his body across Maguire to prevent him reaching the ball.
18 Apr 2025 18:14:47
He kept his arm out and the defender backed into it, before breaking the long jump and high jump records.
18 Apr 2025 19:13:25
If you say so. He was shredded for their 3rd, he’s low tier football ability wise, and was the same again last night, reminds me of the old division 3 games i used to go watch, lumping to the block head center back to get a goal.
Keep kidding yourself it was a great night, Ruben knows it wasn’t, watch his post match interview he wasn’t happy at all.
18 Apr 2025 20:06:58
Come on gnev. Maguire had a couple of great moments last night. Credit where it's due.
He has showed good character and been a good squad member.
Nobody is saying he has suddenly turned into a great player but he had great moments last night and I am pleased for him.
If everybody in the squad was as strong mentally as him we would be in a better place.
He has earned those moments last night. Fair play to him.

We won in the end tw and that’s all that matters but to start blowing trumpets i won’t do. We should never have been in that position and it wasn’t a great night at all. We got lucky with the pen and then the push imo.
Only thing i’d give maguire credit for is keeping his head down and not being disruptive (which is his job getting paid 200k+) apart from that nothing more.
18 Apr 2025 22:27:10
I’ll give him credit for having a reasonable game. But he is still pants.
18 Apr 2025 22:45:37
G Nev,
I can tell you weren’t there last night, how can you possibly say last night wasn’t a good night if you’re a United fan? I can only assume you’re just saying it for a reaction. Watch the celebrations, drink them in, tell me again it wasn’t a great night. Amorim said the noise inside OT was the best noise he’s ever heard and he wants to keep it forever in his post match interview, certainly seemed happy to me.
18 Apr 2025 22:53:12
I actually think that might be the real Gary Neville!
19 Apr 2025 00:04:31
G Nev, nobody is saying we were brilliant. We should never have been in that position.
But if that wonderful, chaotic, mental finish didn't stir something in your soul, then fair enough.
19 Apr 2025 06:23:42
I loved the ending but playing like this against athletic, we will get shipped out. They are a very good team, don't concede many goals and will pick us off. We had 41% possession at home against a team that played with 10 men for a long spell.
19 Apr 2025 10:04:30
Oooooft if fans are scared of facing Bilboa that shows how low the standards are a big spending club like UTD should absolutely smash Bilboa there nothing special.

Ahmad,
It was just a mad game mate, analysing possessions stats in a 5-4 win feels pretty pointless and I can’t believe you’ve even looked at that unless you’re searching for something to not be happy about. Sometimes you just have to accept it was one of those nights when football doesn’t make sense, the whole club is now on a high, enjoy it, go with it, don’t over analyse, get behind the lads.

I agree we were utter sh. t but for a 7 minute spell. I see we lost again today. Utter garbage football imo.
21 Apr 2025 00:30:33
Yes we lost today but you analyse stats don’t you so the 60% possession we had and the many more shots surely means you’re happy with today? Or does it only work that way if it’s the opposite so you can moan even though we won?
