I'm happy to admit that I was one that thought we would get better once we were knocked out all of the cups, one game a week, more time on the training pitch, more time to rest between games. However, in hindsight, the damage was already done in what was a tumultuous season, physically and mentally demanding, yes, there were one or two that looked to have downed tools but I think the majority was down to simple exhaustion. The Barcelona thrashing, followed by losing to the inbreds down the road was probably the final nail in the coffin, a real sucker punch. Everyone needed a break, including Howe, who I think was also stuck in a rut and paralysed by fear. So long as the lessons from this season are learned, thats all we can ask for, steady improvement, it just sucks we seem to be learning lessons the hard way every time.

Boehly has THE worst case of fomo

Some of you need to get out and touch grass, or a woman, whatever stops you being complete wet-wipes. Dropped by Tuchel because he missed a couple of games for us? Livramento missed quite a few games and still got in, so that puts that idea to bed. The project is dying on its arse? Give me strength. Hall is just the Man U e-freaks latest pet love and they're stiring up their own fans into a frenzy circle jerk over him with made up nonsense, £50m??

I see you know your transfers well....

It gives us an edge on the other 13, but FMV will always prevent it from accelerating things on the 6.

The false premise of having to earn your right to be where they are too is a misnomer, they cherry pick the players under the guise of player trading giving other teams a financial way in, when in fact all that is happening is you're ceding competitive advantage whilst temporarily and falsely bloating short term funds, meanwhile they continue to grow revenue, setting the FMV standards, ergo adjusting the glass ceiling everyone else lives under. It's nigh on impossible to break the ceiling as it will always come down to them hoovering up the talent, offering more money for managers and players and preventing teams from equaling their income as they continue to speed off ahead in their Bugatti Veyron telling you, you need to learn to run faster.

Really missed his distribution from the back, he still has a lot to give us, this is good news.

I hope you are not, but no one knows anything for sure, it could go either way, but I'm more inclined to think last season was the outlier and not the mean.

We are just a good season away from a top 4 finish and CL the following season, with some new additions and purple patch players (including BG) firing on all cylinders we could take the game to any team. The new PSR rules allow a luxury tax if we want to stretch them a little more and don't need to use any tricks to wiggle our way out. I would say we could just stick a big ass motor on this ship and steam off into the distance. See, double easy this speculation crap

Man Utd just want to be us, Tonali, Hall, Bruno, hell even Howe has been mentioned before

We've got to wait for the PL to ratify if the interest rate is FMV

Barnes needs to stay for another season, at least until we get Gordon's replacement bedded in and we know for sure we can get goals from other areas. We can't keep selling goal scorers and hope someone else can step into those size 12s thats a recipe for disaster.

This was obvious before I even saw the options, not just for his temerity, sheer determination and gut busting run to ensure it happened, and not just because of the step over and audacious curl into the corner, but the fact it was a winning goal, with a man disadvantage, against them, right at the death. It was literally everything.
