Just 3

Want them mentally and physically exhausted on Saturday night, the longer this goes the better, the more draining it is the better. Couldn't give a shit of they go through or not, I just want them to go through the mixer tonight

Extra time please

McGinn is ridiculous

Neil Cox still has nightmares to this day apparently

Really hope Villa keep this tempo up. They're flying but adrenaline only lasts for so long, they still have a lot of fixtures left

Had a few frames of snooker with a mate I've not seen for a few months - first topic of conversation was the final. Where we watched it, what we thought, how we celebrated etc. Didn't talk about anything else for at least half an hour, just mint. Still have to remind myself we actually did it

Inject it

I dare say Kelly wasn't quite as 'free' as we thought he was, it's inevitable though these days

They've got nearly half of their points from promoted teams but absolutely gash against the rest of the league. Fulham must be fuming

Honestly not sure of the mechanics of when the 'shot/chance' is measured? Could be factoring in Barnes may not have reached the cut-back from Murphy maybe? On the face of it the shot was from a yard out and virtually impossible to miss It's an imperfect system tbh, it just helps to tell the story of the match

Tonali goal was 0.2 Garnacho was 0.1 Barnes 1 was 0.54 Bruno was 0.46 Barnes 2 was 0.25

Not quite sure how any Man U fan can consistently and correctly criticise the way the club has been run, the players that have signed (and flopped), the contracts dished out and the money spunked up the wall for months then come out to bat for them day after another humiliating defeat. Got to admire it

Villa could still win the FA Cup too. They've got a stacked league schedule (us, City, Fulham, Bournemouth, Spurs and Man U), PSG at home, Palace at Wembley and a possible FA Cup final too. All to be played in about the next 6 weeks

Forest and Chelsea playing a draw on the last day would be splendid

Zirkzee just reminds me of the fat lad in PE who always got picked 7th when the captains were picking teams. Not shite but he's a moody fucker who lets his head drop, won't defend and runs out of gas 20 minutes before the bell

Not in this league If I'm trying to be nice I'd describe him as 'unathletic'

Zirkzee's got ability but his main problems are that he's overweight, slow, can't get about the pitch and he's mentally soft as puppy shit.

To be fair it absolutely did look more than a bit dicey after the Brentford (A) game. Got to take into account the good start was also papering over a few cracks too. Since the start of December it's been majestic, questions were asked but he provided the answers tbh

He's becoming as important to us as *Rodri is to City. *I'm not saying he's as good as Rodri

10 points from the remaining 4 homes and we're virtually there. I think we'll overhaul Forest now and stay ahead of Chelsea and Villa too but expect City to pass us and finish 3rd. I'd go: City Us Forest Villa Chelsea

First half I thought there were a few signs of things (very slowly) starting to click a little for them. The one touch move for the Zirkzee shot was nice and they broke well for the goal for example. But most of that is null and void if they've got hearts of ants, they're so feeble and easy to bully. They'll improve further I'm sure but that soft mentality is like a millstone for them, they're so weak and no system can compensate for that. They're still a huge club OFF the park but I honestly think we've past them ON the park, they've become the underdog when we play now, it no longer feels like a scalp when we beat them now. They're just another squad these days. Just another bare arse in the shower, there's nothing special about that team whatsoever

Agreed. We don't half put the utter shite in the league to the sword though
