They overpaid for 1 and underpaid for the other to minimise the sell-on fees that Juve were due to pay to their previous clubs. Who says the cartel aren't rotten as fuck eh?

Just snipped it from soccerstats

Fuck off man

2 for Spurs, good stuff. Flush that horrible, crooked fat cunt into retirement hopefully

Ref's been great (so far) in this Everton game. Everton players throwing themselves all over the place to try and get something, anything from the ref. He's given them exactly what they deserve - nowt

Waiting for team news first, I expect a few unexpected/dodgy teams being named. Quite a few games with zero riding on them at all

Dortmund making a complete horse's arse of this today. Body language of the players is awful and they look petrified

I'd love a win in this one obviously but I'm half expecting a bit of dip tomorrow. I think after the effort the squad has put in this season, the mental energy of getting top 4 plus the known changes to the team will take their toll. Just a game to get through really, I'd probably settle for a point with no injuries tbh. They've already done the unthinkable, no negativity needed whatsoever, it's all good.

Again, I was referring to the league placings. I'm obviously a bit out of the loop, as I remember the time Man U used to win or compete for the league and went deep in the CL every season. I clearly missed the memo about winning a spunky league Cup and finishing top 4 as now constituting success. The bar has dropped massively so it seems. 20 years ago that would have seen the Man U manager chased out of town, now it's celebrated and a huge success. Time wins

McTominay is awful and I'd much prefer to sign the best 2 CMs in League 1 as opposed to this fucker. See which one develops and I'm confident we'd be much better off as a result. He's fucking awful and would add zero to the squad, move on ffs

Chelsea are absolutely dogshit man. How can so many good players look so bad? Lampard is inept and the squad are toxic and rotten as fuck

I was referring to the league tbh. Man U PL finishes since 2017 are 6th, 2nd, 6th, 3rd, 2nd, 6th and probably 3rd again this year. It's pretty consistent and relatively unspectacular. It was a direct comparison to the number of places we've moved up the league since January 22.

They've largely stood still while we've leapfrogged a dozen or more teams. Not how much you spend it's how you spend it. Still maintain Ashworth, Howe and Eales are our 3 best signings we've made since the takeover

£250m has taken us from 19th the the CL, they need to be worried about how we spend the next £250m tbh. In 3 or 4 years time we could be throwing that lot about like $20 whores if they're not careful.

Decided I'm getting the home shirt for the first time in about 20 years - CL patch, the works. Do Castore even do long sleeved versions? I know, base layers etc are the fashion but I'm old (fashioned)

You're right, he probably needs both anyway

Non-wanking hand. Phew

What Howe's done is phenomenal. You can literally see the progress we've made over the last 18 months and we're now a legit top team. We're not perfect and we'll get better but that's fucking astonishing. To take the rabble he inherited from Bruce to CL football in 18 months is breath-taking. I accept we've spent a decent bit of cash recently but that doesn't guarantee anything at all, plenty of teams have thrown £200m at it and failed. We've turned it around and barged in on the accepted 6, we're there now and we deserve to be. We're now at the table and we'll be pretty fucking hard to shift now.

Top 4 guaranteed, that's ridiculous. Not even going to mention the game tonight, it's irrelevant, we needed a point and we fucking well got the fucker. Phenomenal achievement. I need to take it in and digest this, this is remarkable and unthinkable in August

Does Harry Souttar know what he looks like btw? Jesus fucking christ

No daft free kicks inside 25 yards please gentlemen

Keep having to remind myself that a point is all we need. It's frustrating and we should be ahead but the bigger picture is that a clean sheet means CL. They'll have a spell on the second half and we need to be careful of Vardy on the break but we're virtually there. I'd prefer to get there with a win but I'm ripping arms out of sockets for the point tbh. Big picture gentlemen, no time to panic

Cheers for that mate, exactly what I wanted to hear...

Just seen the ref for tomorrow - Marriner This isn't going to be as straightforward as some think. He'll blow for every single contact, no matter how slight. We'll need to be smart tomorrow night, get in his ear early on and point out what they're doing. Absolutely clamming for an early goal to change the complexion of the game, we need Leicester to come out and leave space. They're rank but they still need to be beaten. Very, very confident we'll put 3+ past this rabble however
