What was key for me is that Howe and NUFC clearly learnt from the Cup Final, whereas Ten Hag played Dalot. it’s now clear that Howe is a significantly better manager.

Maybe next contract then, but I just found out that he went to several of our games home and away as a kid so I think it is inevitable he will play for us in his prime.

We will sign Saka when he nears the end of his current contract.

Didn’t they have an uptick in form when their caretaker was standing in a few weeks ago?

seemingly remaining on the table.

Correct Reads slightly better if you read the whole document.

Don’t panic, it’s saying that they have moved these three items to become heritage assets which means they can not be changed without supporter consultation. Before now, they could make any changes they wanted to without fan involvement (in practice they still could but this is effectively a pinky promise)

No he is a very wasteful unintelligent passer who occasionally hits a corker. you can very much discount a talent if the talent doesn’t help much. Sooner people realise that ASM was of similar quality to LuaLua the better.

Beyond dribbling ability I don’t think ASM is a particularly talented player

Hope all the officials have a bad day tomorrow

might as well get Ryan Taylor to be our 8th left back

And that doesn’t count the player who has started at left back for England at a major tournament - so 7 left backs!

6 players in the squad who have at one point or other been our first choice left back

Sometimes I wonder if he’s just not wired up right. I know someone once asked the question whether you’d rather get stuck in a lift with Owen or Pardew but I don’t think that is a difficult question - the answer is Pardew every time.

Any clips of the ball boy available? heard it was the best first touch since Ben Arfa vs Stoke.

I think I’ve realised why I love him and it’s because he is the second coming of Paul Gascoigne

Think it will just be the matches, no punditry

They parked the bus so well and nicked a couple of elite goals. we’ll be back.

Little gutted for Dummett that he hasn’t taken a bench slot.

Why is Phil Jones here but they haven’t bothered getting one of our out of squad players involved?

Man Utd might as well not be here. Going to be a home crowd.

Karius looked close to tears

Our players look very nervous

just start 15 players. Everyone else is so far up Man Utd’s arse today that they won’t notice

Gillespie, Dummett, Murphy, Longstaff, Burn - only two expected to start but clearly amazing for the five NUFC supporters in the team to all be going to Wembley
