Perfectly whelmed to have won the Belfast Telegraph Helen Scott Memorial Trophy today. @UlsterUni

Unfortunately, I’m not so proud to say I’ve won more trophies this year than Man Utd have in half a decade. I even wore a United tie (chosen before I knew the result last night).

@ManUtd @KieranMaguire Please for the love of god do not lose the first game.

@Utdbrizzy Spent too much time with Nani as a player

Something quite satisfying about James Milner ending his playing career in a defeat to Man United.

Viva John Terry 😂😂

Erm… George Graham was a former Arsenal player and led the club to two top flight titles…

Massive error on the Arsenal website.

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

Sir Alex refused to go out the way Pep is.

He came back after the heartbreak & controversy of 2012, poached Robin van Persie from Arsenal to spearhead a title charge that was over in March when they were 15 points ahead.

If not for a farcical Nani red card vs Real Madrid in the Champions League that to this day makes zero sense, it could've been an even better final season.

That's how you go out. On top, undisputed. Not with a pathetic whimper out the back door before the final day, while wearing the worst hi-viz kits imaginable.

There are levels here. Good riddance, Pep.

[Simon Bennett @simonbennett24]

@MullockSMedia Tuchel beat Pep in a CL final, therefore Tuchel > Pep and Ferguson.

[Simon Bennett @simonbennett24]

@ManUtdHeritage One man to blame, De Gea.

Jonny Evans player coach?

@TheShirtUnion @adidasfootball Any good Armani suits to go with it?

[Darren Xenophontos @DarrenXeno]

@samuelluckhurst Does it not say more about the format? United and Madrid didn't play each other for ten years (03-13) this with united regularly in the competition. I think this just shows a saturated market
