Oh really? When was that? I can't ever remember a time when Man United didn't qualify for the CL. In fact, we almost always get to the at least the knockout stages/quarter finals.

When did you jump on the man-u bandwagon?? Last time I remember they never qualified in 2005.

Code:
Manchester United failed to make it through to the final 16 of the Champions League after losing 2-1 against Benfica on Wednesday.

United finished bottom of their group after the defeat in Lisbon and didn't even qualify for the UEFA cup.
 
@ Mercurial - how long have you been watching football? This is a serious question. I take it not long.

One only has to think back 4 years when Celtic knocked United out, and they never made it into the knockout stage of the ocmpeition. That wasnt too long ago. But clearly you havent been watching that long.

If you look done the years, it is only recently. and very recently that English teams have been performing in Europe. Do yourself a favour and visit the UEFA webiste and brush up on some knowledge that is clearly lacking your side.

While you there, you will learn that Prem teams have never ever produced in Europe bar Liverpool.

And that was the 1st time in how long that United didn't make the knock-out stages?

And what about the other English teams? Don't they count? :rolleyes:

You cannot jump on a bandwagon if you already support the club!

We are already ON the bandwagon so to speak...Glory-hunters will try to 'jump on' at the end of this season when we win the double...again ;)

If someone cant even remember 3 years back when their team never qualified for a cup, i call that pathetic.
Shows what they know about football, I dont even support the team yet know the facts.
 
You guys amaze me!!!

The UEFA cup has been won by:

Liverpool
Inter Milan
Real Madrid
Porto
Valenica
Bayern Munich
Juventus

If you dont know those teams, then dont comment on this forum cos u know nothing ;)

It is now clear that you okes have been watching footie for the past 3 years.

Are these the last teams to win the thing?? Otherwise what you are saying does not make any sense.

And stop the personal attacks man, stick to the footy. :rolleyes:

Dude you are out of your mind. We always qualify for the UEFA CL :rolleyes: and I've been a Man United since childhood. Cannot say the same for you.

That is because that is not what he said and you twisted his words.

Yet again I remind you that this is THE MANCHESTER UNITED THREAD and you have managed to rile supporters in here again. :(

Poor form

What CUP are you talking about? The UEFA cup that the lesser teams try out for? Get a life dude. We only play in the real cups aka UEFA CL. Since when do you hear Man United are trying to qualify for the UEFA CUP :sick:
We qualify for UEFA CL, cos that's where the top teams go.

FFS:

MANU FAILED TO QUALIFY FOR THE UEFA CUP IN 2005, THE SAME CUP YOU THINK IS POINTLESS.
 
Reported WTF?

For saying that you posted something stupid. Dont be daft man. Seriously.

Yes, reported.

Keep up the insults and personal attacks and lack of logic in your arguments after I have asked you not to and I will report you some more.

This is THE MANCHESTER UNITED THREAD

That is exactly my point! We don't "try to qualify for the UEFA Cup". Don't you get it? We're only interested in the CL. Good God. Seriously now.
 
Oh my FREAKIN word! Lesser teams like Liverpool, Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan???

How can you call that lesser teams, when most of those teams have achieved more than United????

Well if a team has a bad season then that's where they need to compete. They are just a few teams. Who are the majority of teams in the UEFA CUP? The big teams? I think not. The big teams you mentioned are a few out of a lot of lesser teams. That's why you have teams like Everton, Aston Villa etc...
 
hj2k - lack of logic? Dont be insane.

I dont do personal attacks. I get irritated with people who think they know what they are talking about. If you post something stupid, i will be the FIRST person to post and say you just posted somrething stupid.

Learn the facts, or dont comment.

No, you learn the facts and the rules of this thread or don't comment/get banned. I don't really mind which it is.

Yip, that is just it. You only compete in the Euro Cup cos you are not good enough for the CL. It is NOT a prestigious competition any more. Not at all.

That must have been the most stupid comment today by you, so they don't care about winning a trophy in Europe so would rather finish last in their group.Yet when it happened every "real" man-u supporter was up in arms and you don't even remember it happening.
 
Please man. Try to understand. They could not qualify cos they were nto good enough. Do you get it now?

The UEFA cup that you reckon is for lesser teams, your team couldnt even make the grade to play in that cup.

Do you get it now?

One time, one season.

You are comparing the whole league to the whole spanish league. Jees, it's not rocket science!
