We've done a fair bit of talking about games we should've got more out of, but it's worth reflecting on those points we got that didn't feel major at the time but certainly are now. Bruno stabbing in the only goal at West Ham the game before the cup final stands out to me. Schar and Barnes smashing in the equaliser and winner at Wolves too. And the 4 points we got from behind down at Forest and Bournemouth look a lot more meaningful half a year later too.

Apologies mate if I didn't really make much discussion. I'd lost my wedding ring during all the shenanigans with various flags and I wanted to be home to watch the Inter game with the Mrs. After 6 hours in last night and 2 tonight (before tomorrow) I had to be sure to keep the peace Thanks again for your hard work tonight and i'll probably catch you next time properly

Aye they are choosing, we have to wait for scraps. Another consequence of these stupid rules.

Players and agents don’t need convincing to go there.

He might be absolutely shite (you’ll have watched far more of him than me..) but there’s obviously a reason he gets picked every week. I mean I watched Alcaraz when he came on for him on Sunday, and he was… absolutely shite… although tbf others on here have said that’s not representative of him, but Moyes obviously much prefers Doucoure to him.

Given he is absolutely shit, I don't think it'll make much of a difference.

Moyes said in his presser today Doucoure has “already accepted a higher offer to go somewhere else” (might be paraphrasing a bit). Appreciate he’s played virtually every game, and probably agreed to go wherever he’s going a while ago, but given the circumstances around this game, would he really want to play in it?

Genuinely think Mainoo could be a Howe-type player. Excellent physical attributes, positional versatility (to a degree). Wouldn’t be in ahead of the starting three (obviously) at the moment, but if, as seems likely to me, Longstaff leaves, he significantly improves depth. The article in the Sun (aye, I know, I know…) today claims they’re “certain” to sell him and Garnacho. Says £55m for Mainoo, which is probably a bit too steep IMO, but get it closer to £40m and I like it. Relatively low wages too, so could probably offer him a substantial increase without too much bother. Imagine taking a 20-year old England international off Man Utd…

This, Everton would no doubt love to piss on our chips but how far are they going to go? Will they scrap for every ball for 90 mins? Throw themselves into last ditch tackles? Put their bodies on the line chasing lost causes? I can’t see it, we need an early goal and they’ll fold.

Good to finally meet you. Always interesting when I arrive and they ask are you here from the supporters group? Nope some random on an internet forum said I could help out. Looked great when I left tonight and it was only half done. Everyone is going to be impressed on Sunday.

Think Dave forgot to change the door code.

Fook off

Not a fan. Looks like a bunch of ideas mushed together. But I pretty much always resent having blue in our kits.

Cmon Sheffield put these saddos to bed along with their awful team.

No its called being pedantic

Who let him back in?

Froggy is still living in his entitled past.

Boom. I've said before, I think the best way to see Bruno as captain is as being our spirit animal. He's not a Trippier or Speed (who wasn't actually captain but many of the players largely felt he was) but he's something of his own. He shows what total commitment, ambition, competitiveness and willingness to take responsibility under pressure looks like, none of which should ever be sniffed at. Our leadership collective is doing the business anyhow. We're lucky/have been very skillful in collecting such a decent, self supporting bunch of characters.

Yeah there's 7-8 decent teams but no great teams as there has been in the past. I honestly think Atalanta have been the best side in the league this year and have basically wasted a huge opportunity through a few duff home results mid season and that silly spat between Lookman and Gasperini.

Howe has been here 3 and a half seasons. Look at what the 3 managers you mentioned spent in their short time at Man Utd. Then allow for transfer inflation. Howe has didn't the 8th most in the PL since he's been here. Your 3 were in the top 3 spenders when at Man Utd https://www.transfermarkt.com/manchester-united/alletransfers/verein/985/1000/

Think it's also indicative that as a collective, the top 7 or 8 in Italy are stronger than they have been for a while, but at the cost of having an outstanding champion.

We don't discriminate.

OG?

Can see a Michael Keane winner here.
