  1. Its a massive shame for their fans, feels like it could be a Portsmouth moment tbh but at least Pompey won the FA Cup and got to play against AC Milan and Ronaldinho. Those memories can take you a long way in League 2 lol
  2. Honestly Forest cannot go down quick enough, the owner is a nightmare and their buy every player under the sun recruitment philosophy is a terrible way to run a club. I don’t think they’ll do it but for the sake of the league I hope Luton stay up.
  3. @Devil If you wanna have a discussion about what you think I’m wrong about or unfair about I’m more than happy to do that, you will probably disagree with me at points and I will probably disagree with you at points and that’s fine. But theres no need for trying to work out underlying agendas, I could easily sit here and talk about you still living in SAF’s us versus them mentality and being incapable of taking criticism, but the reality is more likely that we think about football differently based on our experiences with the game and so come to different conclusions that don’t seem logical when compared with each other. The irony is one of my best mates is a United fan but the only times I have disagreements about the club with anyone is on here. Which in fairness is probably a reflection of my lack of will power not to post the first thing that jumps into my head lol, but is mostly due to what I wrote above about approaching the game from different positions.
  4. Did you not see your entire team visibly embarrassed today? Yes of course it’s fun to watch United be shit, what normal person wouldn’t find that entertaining after seeing decades of dominance. I enjoyed watching Gerrard slip a title away, sometimes people just like to get fun out of watching football lol. But no, its not hatred, generally just bemusement at how much the club spends and still manages to get so much wrong. I genuinely don’t think theres another team in the league who could win this badly against Coventry City…thats not hatred, just an observation as to where you are as a club right now. An observation I would imagine is shared by many, many people, likely Jim Ratcliffe included in that.
  5. dont criticise United or its hatred, got it!
  6. Takes a lot to make getting to a Cup final an embarrassing achievement but United really know how to get the job done
  7. Fair play McNeill, certainly has a big goal in him when it matters
  8. I think its harsh to give that as a penalty but honestly could go either way. But the ball from Gibbs-White, outside of the foot, so fucking good
  9. In fairness to Luton the way they’ve played it they will likely make a bit of money in the Summer from sales and get to re-invest and go again, obviously they will make good use of parachute payments too.
  10. Luton have only lost by more than one goal at home twice this season. 3-1 to Sheffield United and 5-1 today against us. I know its only Luton but that is an example of how we should be playing when most people are fit, back to what we done when Toney was banned.
  11. 2-0 up now, scrappy goal but I'll take it. Mbeumo hit the crossbar moments before with a lovely shot
  12. We've been the better team so far, Luton still trying to cause problems and in fairness they're not playing badly. But our defence has been strong and is matching them physically. Two pretty big chances for Keane Lewis-Potter, one that he sent wide that should have been on target at least, the second a well taken header that just went over. He's been taking up good positions and as I type this done well on the counter to get a shot off and win the corner. He's desperate for a goal or two to build confidence, hopefully he can get that today. Wissa's goal was beautiful, very well taken and just highlights the quality he has when playing in that central position. We are playing consistently to our skill level and finally have the pace and quality going forward to cut teams open.
  13. If Leeds come up I think they'll go back down, same for Saints. I think Leicester would have the best chance of staying up just because I think they have a decent amount of players there that know what the Premier League is about and that can play in it to a good level. Bit like Bournemouth when they came back up I felt the same. Ipswich could stay up just because of them being an unknown quantity in the way Sheffield United were a few years ago. For us it's difficult to predict injuries but losing Ivan Toney will not put us in a relegation battle, in fact for most of the season we were without him we were comfortably midtable with performances in some draws that suggested we should have been higher. Then the injuries came and we struggled heavily. I think in the Summer we will strengthen in midfield, centre back and at wing-back too so that we don't find ourselves in this position. We've made 7 different selections at left back this season alone. You lot I think will be fine, Glasner clearly knows what he's doing and tbh it is a massive coup that you've signed him. If you can keep your best players, or at least Olise/Eze, and carrying on making shrewd signings like Wharton then I don't see why you can't push for Conference League next season.
  14. I think it'll be a repeat of last years final but there is also a strong chance that Coventry make the final and get walloped 29-0 by City,
  15. Ever since I had steak in San Sebastian anything I’ve had in England has just tasted like balls…at least we’ve got chicken
  16. That Palmer goal was sublime, you dont see anyone score goals like that these days. Joga Bonito
  17. Phenomenal achievement, some great players there playing under Alonso. I hope they can disrupt the Champions League next season, would be great to see them win it.
  18. Always going to happen at some point Arsenal dropping points, just lack that world class quality to decide difficult games consistently. Liverpool also struggling recently with a team that lacks squad balance. City to steam on now surely
  19. I think Jones is a bit unfair, he got injured against us when they beat us 4-1 and I think has only made 2 starts since being this game and Atalanta. Elliot and Tsimiskas though...spot on.
  20. Liverpool aren't out of the title race yet, but it is a massive loss. Perspective is funny because Klopp and co didn't really expect to be in a title race this season and in fact I think everyone thought City would run away with it. Despite the poor run of form to have won the League Cup and still be within 1-3 points of the title at this point isn't bad going, all things considered.
  21. Honestly I just think it's just being terrible at their job rather than a bias, wouldn't surprise me if they gave it to either team
  22. Lovely little VAR moment yesterday. 1.25 into the video, honestly do not see a foul at all, just a dive from McBurnie, denies Damsgaard of a lovely volley
