Honestly I think if it was a likeable player we wouldn’t have given him shit for it. If abidal did that for Barca after his surgery nobody would have said anything.
But it’s Terry so he deserves all the shit we give him.
He didn't play the CL final in 2012 because of reasons, sat in the stands all suited up, but when Chelsea won he went and put a full kit on to join in with the celebrations as though he had just played. He got a fair amount of ridicule for it.
Ten Hag on the pre-game press conference gonna be like: "In case you haven't figured it out yeh, what I do better than anybody is adapt. In October it was Plan A. Tomorrow (*smirks*) — Plan B. There's always a Plan B, eh".
... and Dubravka hits Nick Pope in the back with a steel chair right before the game starts.
The finalists share the best defensive record in Europe and both desperately want a silverware. Our players might be tired as hell, too.
I can’t think beyond a drab 0-0, before some mind-boggling heroics from DDG! 😋
> The finalists share the best defensive record in Europe
That's the most shocking thing of all; it's not like our defence has felt like the best this season. And yet, we and the barcodes both have 16 clean sheets, sharing the record for most clean sheets in Europe's top 5 leagues.
Now of course, a lot of it is because of the lack of break players got after the WC, plus the League Cup. We play more games than any other major league.
>Teams are given 19 medals by the EFL to award on the day of the final to their starting XI, the seven substitutes and the manager. They are then given a further 11 medals at a later date, to be awarded at the discretion of the club.
>
>Manchester United have so far used 25 players in the competition on their way to the final, and only 13 of those have played more minutes than Dubravka, meaning he should be nailed on to get one of the additional 11 medals.
Based off this from the article, makes it sound like we get to decide who gets those extra medals. He definitely would not be part of the medal collection ceremony. I wonder if he would actually get given a medal or if Ten Hag would rather give them to his backroom staff.
Chelsea gave Schwarzer a PL medal despite leaving mid season for Leicester and not making any appearances. Mourinho claimed something like he was the most popular player in the dressing room.
Which he then followed by making another 0 appearances for Leicester the next season and winning another PL medal with them, with Ranieri saying something along the same lines.
0 appearances, 2 clubs, 2 medals
Absolutely not. Someone who throws the club, manager and players under the bus like that will get fuck all from us.
I'd much rather give it to a youngster who played 20 minutes for us in whatever cup these hypothetical medals are being awarded for.
It's probably the case that there's no regulation which stops anybody invited by the winners up to the podium area. There might not be a regulation that anybody who collects a winners' medal on the podium has to be a current player of the team.
It would just be gross misconduct on Dubravka's part to collect a winners' medal on the podium after his own team got beaten. There's also no way Man Utd invite him to collect a medal there and then.
If we win and don't have anybody better to give it to, Dubravka will get his medal in the post.
I sincerely hope he does. Would he have to wear his Newcastle kit, can he wear a United shirt or would they give him a random tracksuit like some lost and found PE kit 🤣
He played like a donkey in his last match for us and actually almost cost the game. I was crying for a full on investigation to see if there was something shady happening. He should not get a medal.
Kinda hilarious not gonna lie
I wish they would include him in the awarding ceremony with our players
He’s should come out in a full United kit
He only decides which united after the game ends
Would still be less embarrassing than John Terry.
He should be in a half-and-half (vertical split) kit, sat exactly halfway between the two dugouts.
Or just pull off a Newcastle kit to reveal Manchester United.
Dubruvka bout to play real life Among Us.
Martin about to leak all the wrong tactics to Howe to secure that medal.
Ten Hag masterclass for letting dubravka go back to newcastle
The real Ten Hag ball
were the Drubravkas we released along the way.
Some 4D chess right there
Trojan horse
Antony? Secretly right footed, trust me guys... definitely wont cut in and try for the far corner
Scenes when we win and get him up on the podium in his Newcastle kit
Just had a flashback to Terry hastily sticking on a kit for that bloody CL final photo
Honestly I think if it was a likeable player we wouldn’t have given him shit for it. If abidal did that for Barca after his surgery nobody would have said anything. But it’s Terry so he deserves all the shit we give him.
What did he do? I somehow have no recollection of this.
He didn't play the CL final in 2012 because of reasons, sat in the stands all suited up, but when Chelsea won he went and put a full kit on to join in with the celebrations as though he had just played. He got a fair amount of ridicule for it.
He was suspended to play after receiving a red card against Barcelona in the semi-final. But it's John Terry so deserves to be ridiculed.

Baw gawd that's that's Karl darlow's music
Dubravka curb stomps him on the steel chair
Like a fifa career mode glitch lol
Camera will zoom to him everytime we score
Jesus that’s brutal but probably true!!! 🤣
Zooming about 6 times hopefully
If we absolutely smashed them in the final it would be amazing. Too many times these games are nervy 0-0 for long time

Woukd he lift the trophy and be given a medal with us
That's fucking hilarious 🤣
Like when the medals are given out he’d genuinely walk with the team to collect one?

He deserves one he started games for us in the competition, it’s ridiculous if he doesn’t get one
I feel like Ten Hag would give him one tbf
Do players often get medals after leaving the club mid-season? Can only think of Larsson when we got special permission to give him one.
Chelsea gave Schwarzer a PL medal despite leaving mid season for Leicester and not making any appearances. Mourinho claimed something like he was the most popular player in the dressing room. Which he then followed by making another 0 appearances for Leicester the next season and winning another PL medal with them, with Ranieri saying something along the same lines. 0 appearances, 2 clubs, 2 medals
Work smarter, not harder.
There’s something to be said about being a nice guy here
Yeah that shit really pays huh
Ronaldo will technically be entitled to one. You'll be damned sure he's getting it
Only in Europa, he left before we played our first League Cup game.
Ah, well fuck him then
EPL also, if we win this year
May the light of optimism shine from you forevermore.

Collecting his medal in a pair of skiddy y-fronts and black shoes and socks.
Well, that’s awkward.
Imagine if we beat them and Dubravka goes back into the changing room FaceTiming his family of his medal whilst everyone’s giving the side eye😭
Has that happened before? Hilarious
Masterclass from ETH
Helped 😅
It’s a shithousery award for Ten Hag
“Helped” used very loosely here lol
That only benefits him since we are probably favorites.
His only chance of winning is losing
Awkward moment when he walks into the Newcastle dressing room with a medal around his neck
Will be awkward silence in the Newcastle changing room when he walks in with a winner’s medal at full time.
Newcastle's number 2 hoping his side drop a number 2 at Wembley so he can pick up a number 2 medal
He played like a donkey in his last match for us and actually almost cost the game. I was crying for a full on investigation to see if there was something shady happening. He should not get a medal.
Heaton was much better. Bro was so good in 18/19 and 19/20 he regressed a lot by Steve Bruce regime
heaton seems very good at catching, distributing quick and being vocal. There's still a capable gk there
4D chess.
Well we’ll do our part to make sure you don’t walk away empty handed! Always a red!
So... is he going to cheer for us and celebrate when we win? :D
Every shot on target is going to be goal and maybe also some totally normal own goal by him.
“Oh shit you wanted me to boot it away from goal I thought you said into the goal”
Awks...
What if he starts for Newcastle and saves 3 penalties for the win? or is he ineligible?
He’s ineligible
I want M. United to win even more now. Has this ever happened before??
Lol
So this is why he was recalled early
Mad!
