Tactically they're killing us. We should be at least 2-0 down.

Getting completely outclassed here. Emery has the beatings of Howe big time.

Think Villa will be well confident about this. Would happily take a draw.

Would prefer Madrid for the upgraded Bernabeu alone. My god it's stunning. And has a city location too.

Think we'll have Spurs no problem, but leaning towards defeat here. Emery is at least on par with Howe tactically and can see Villa suppressing our play.

Don't think it's always guaranteed for away games. Suppose it depends on the host club giving permission for a cameraman.

Guardiola is one of the more likeable managers and doesn't regularly act the complete bellend like Klopp and (more recently) Ten Hag, and even the fans seem generally decent. But would still rather the Arse win the league as one club's dominance is never healthy.

If we hadn't lost Isak for four months, we'd possibly be 7-10 points better off by now as well. Mental.

He looked a bit upset afterwards when Howe was having a serious looking word.

Hope Bruno is ok, was odd that

Is there actually single Manc in any of those?!

It is for me like

Holy shit, top half below City/Arse is now looking as tight as bottom half. Tomorrow is a must win, otherwise a couple of losses could leave us level with Villa and in 7th come end of month. Villa seem to be going through the same phase we did post-Xmas last season.

Such kindness from the villa fans https://www.villatalk.com/topic/23986-weekends-football-31-march2-april/page/11/#comments

Ah fucks sake. It's happening again where we can't put it away. Only a matter of time before Man U break and score.

Think Rashford is nailed on to score again tomorrow. Don't think we'll beat them, but manage a score draw.

Honestly, how? I keep seeing predictions from our own fans and others that we'll soon splash the cash big time. We're a least a couple of years off having the requisite income - that's assuming the PL doesn't block lucrative sponsorships.

Was at least expecting a £30 mill a season official tyre partner! Seriously though, our transfer spending could be severely limited for a few years yet.

Not the ground name though

Qualifying for CL this season would only allow for extra spending in 2025 summer window, surely? Or can you spend on anticipated CL income? Otherwise we're limited to any extra commercial income we bring in by the summer, and more likely competing with Everton, West Ham and Leeds on purchasing power. Don't know why other fans believe we're going to splash the cash big time when we're seemingly a long way off being able to do so.

Poor show from Bruno that. Michael Owen would have dribbled through the lot, smashed it top corner and left those little punks in tears

I've pretty much lost the will for wild goal celebrations. It's a relatively mild 'get in there' until I'm confident there's no VAR review. My wife was urging me last night to start fully enjoying goals again - and I gave it a proper go when Anderson netted....

The Premier League could still cripple our progress if they deny a significant increase in commercial income. Europe + only a marginally improved squad could send us back down mid-table to 8th-12th. We clearly have the potential to grow significantly and don't see why commercial sponsorship can't reflect that. Unfortunately the PL could have other ideas.

His movement from getting up for the disallowed goal was magic

1-1. Think the lack of squad depth and tactical flexibility will continue to hurt us.
