  1. I'm going to triple captain Jonas Gutierrez in my fantasy team
  2. I saw a Wimbledon game last season. Standard in league 2 is extremely poor, even if the atmosphere will be good. Also, it's a pretty soulless ground. Still, good tie for the neutral
  3. Looks like Craig David on Bo Selecta
  4. I think on balance 7th is probably where we deserved to finish and frankly represents success given the fact that for a large part of the season weve had Dubravka, Krafth, Longstaff, Miley, Anderson and Murphy starting with no decent options off the bench. 6th would have been a miracle. Tonali back next season and keeping Bruno, Isak and Gordon would do me, with a few improvements focusing on expanding the squad and getting rid of deadwood. Looking forward and optimistic about next season. The players are well coached and for the most part, achieving in excess of their individual ability. UECL (assuming we get it) will be memorable and good experience on the journey to becoming CL regulars to practice playing multiple times per week, and should be a breeze compared to the likes of PSG and Dortmund. Hopefully some kinder domestic cup draws and injuries and fatigue won't be the same problem. Plus genuinely feel that we can try and compete to win and trophy next season and hopefully at least quality for the Europa.
  5. We are not yet in the position whereby we can demand a result at Old Trafford with an injury ravaged squad. What a frustrating game and result. A spirited performance and plenty of attacking intent but glaring chances missed and gifting 3 goals more or less to Man U. I can't knock the attitude of the players and the coaching has been great but ultimately the limitations of our squad players (who have been our XI for pretty much the whole season) have been perfectly demonstrated. Longstaff, Anderson (young), Krafth, Dubravka, Murphy are not players that we really want near the starting XI if we are going to progress. That and a poor performance from Trippier. I believe and hope we can beat Brentford which would be a good way to end the season on a high in 7th and respectable given all that's happened. Fail to win and we don't deserve any sort of Europe.
  6. My brother (Fulham ST holder) reckons good player technically and a good signing on a free. Annoyed to lose him. Thinks he has a bigger opinion of himself than he should
  7. Presumably the answer is no But if Villa win the Conference league and qualify for the CL would that release an additional Europa league place? As conference league winners qualify for Europa League
  8. Exactly that If we can have a repeat of the Fulham (A) game with a scrappy solid defensive away performance and grinding out a 1-0 I'd take that all day long
  9. Will be in the away end for the first time in ages. Looking forward to it!
  10. I notice that for the man united games they play Arsenal just a few days before, and we have an extra days recovery than them going into that fixture. That could give us an edge and help us get a result. Avoid defeat in that fixture and match their results with our easier fixtures and we should finish 6th As it's in may, theres hope of more players being back and options from the bench I'm excited that we can do it. Even if we don't, the excitement of having something to play for is great
  11. Bookies have us at 2/1 for a top 6 finish. Chelsea at 9/2. WHAM at 16/1
  12. Can anyone going to the game confirm whether these are e tickets or paper? I've got someone offering to sell me one and transfer by email
  13. I expect we will lose this but would take a spare ticket in the away end if anyone has a spare that they want to get rid of at short notice!
  14. Arguably now the biggest game of the season left if we are still to be wanting to finish 6th or 7th. Needs to be 3 points.
