Crap team won a crap tournament.
I saw Wigan win the FA Cup once and Greece win the Euro's.
The EL is gold to crap teams to grab a bit of the limelight, like Sevilla and now Villareal.
Super. No way Villareal survive relegation if they played in the PL.
I heard they take good pens, though - much needed for small teams playing the bigger clubs.
Emery found his level, though, so good for him. He can be happy there.

I am with Jay on this, Villareal were nothing special at all, not against Man U and not against us. the only reason they beat us was because Arteta was an idiot in both games. I maintain, Villareal should've been a comfortable victory over 2 legs and I have seen nothing then or since to change my mind.

Got to love jay. He has no qualms in showing his lack of education about football and you have to respect it whilst laughing.
He's just talking now, no logic, just spouting.
I suppose that's what happens when someone was so cocksure they got backed into a corner and then "Good ebening" happened and made him like a complete tool.
Instead of just saying "I got it wrong" he just keeps on digging, problem is he's dug himself into concrete.

They've found their level - several rungs higher than us. We could have been in the CL now if we'd been smarter over those two legs and against a United side that might not have turned up against us. I used to call the EL the loser cup, easy to do when you're in the top 4 every year, the EL is now a stepping stone to the CL, so more riding on it.

For that reason the FA cup can really pull off some shocks whereas the two legged trophies don’t tend to.
The defeat over two legs for us is unforgivable, given we have a much better squad.

I would've bet on us to beat Man U, if we made the final, that is the one thing I can give Arteta credit for, he has absolutely improved our performances against the top 6 teams.

0-0 FT is possible but we would have bottled the shootout.
