One bad game doesn't make a team bad... if we weren't good we wouldn't have been in the final.

Agreed, but this isn't the first time United have faltered when actually attacked by another team this season.

I think I didn't get the joke but I am certain Liverpool got more fans around the world than Manchester United.

Nope. Ever since United first got on the winning role, they have picked up a lot of supporters like Mail, and about 10 million Asians that know nextdoor to nothing about football. If you compare in terms of 'real' fans, the count is probably a little more even

Because every real Liverpool fan hates United with every ounce of their being, and wants them to lose every match they enter maybe? If you where a real football fan, that'd be a bit more obvious to you, but as a member of the Manchester United glory hog club, I guess i'll let you off.

I guess posting more than 4 semi-mature posts without a stupid picture thrown in was probably more intelligence shown in one night than you have in the rest if this thread, to expect you to stay mature and not resort back to trolling when you have no legitimate response was asking a bit much I guess.

And FYI I am not crying, I am laughing... At the patheticness that is you and was Manchester United this evening

Not new or ... well I'm not sure how reliable.... but i didn't find anything to support the other way around, on other hand I might suck at googling.

It might mean that Liverpool have more true/hardcore/active fans.... :p

Italian authorities said their biggest worry was the estimated 5,000 ticketless fans.

Manchester United's players flew out to Rome on Monday to try to become the first team to retain the Champions League trophy, but lost 2-0.

Plans for a victory parade through Manchester's streets have been cancelled.

Web stats are IMO not the most reliable way of assessing things like this

Liverpool do not have more worldwide fans than Manchester United. Simple as really. I'd rather we sacked off the OOT's tbh, the atmosphere would be well better.

Oh by the way mail, I look forward to you transferring your allegiances to Barcelona tomorrow. After all, you liver closer to Barcelona than to Manchester ;)

Out of towners? I don't agree with that, I know quiet a few fellow Liverpool fans in kent, and they have just as much passion as some of the locals. Certainly it'd be better without the fans that know nothing about the game, but I don't agree that all out of towners lack passion or make things worse.

YES Barca easily outplayed manu, who were imo sluggish....the better team won, in that the team with more team spirit and unity won....classic example of a gelled team beating another team who have an arguably a better team on paper.

BARCA!!!!!

ooo quite debatable

if you take out all the asians who want to dry hump beckham(and the 'glory hogs') then i would say liverpool have more true fans.

as for mail and frank...boys get a room, ones baiting one and the other is leading the other on.

The game was a bit boring, don't you agree?

That's because Barcelona dominated possession as always. Barcelona always plays a possession game. You can see it when they played against every team coming up the final. The only problem they had was not capitalizing on shooting on target.

Well if you want to go around calling all Man Utd fans who don't live in Manchester either glory hunters or not real fans then you look rather stupid when you don't apply it to the club you like which is why Martyn has to say what he did.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By s0nic69 · Posted

      I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.

      The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. I'm sure you will come with the argument of bloat in Microsoft Edge. Sure, but most of that can be fixed with a simple tool (there are many good ones out there for this). Yes, that require a couple of clicks in the same way as it requires several clicks to install 'Google Chrome'. And I'm sure you really love the 4 GB of AI-slop 'Google Chrome' is downloading without you agreeing to it. Fun right? Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing Microsoft Edge on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
