It's staggering Man-U have spent a billion pounds since Fergie retired and yet they are miles away from challenging for the title 

Just goes to show simply throwing money about isn't a solution, getting the right structure with the right manager is key and that's where Man-U have failed miserably

Can't see this going ahead with the amount of absentees on both sides.

Everton seemingly have a lot of players back and are keen on this going ahead 

Yeah, West Ham are in shocking form, only 1 win in their last 7 league games

Could really do with them winning it somehow and also hope Man-U beat Burnley on Thursday 

Ordinarily after the way we played I'd be all up for us going straight into this match but without Wilson/ASM and considering their players will be fresher then we absolutely should do all we can to get this called off

Check out the latest headlines from this morning's papers...

 

Barcelona misfit Samuel Umtiti has emerged as a £17m target for relegation-haunted Newcastle. (The Sun)

 

Newcastle are reportedly 'in the mix' for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang though the frozen-out Arsenal forward is believed to be eyeing up a different destination. (Daily Star)

Umtiti is awful, never been the same since his injury and he always looks unfit

Joelinton has recieved nothing but grief for 2 years though. Bit harsh to pile on a journalist for making light of it, especially when the overall point of what he was saying was that he was good.

 

There was clearly no malace intended.

It's one thing him being given grief by fans on forums and even the pundits in the studio, don't think anyone has done it to his face (apart from those knackers that approached him when he was with his family)

Just think a journalist could have worded it far better

Just now, Hanshithispantz said:

Think people are being a bit harsh on the interviewer like

 

It was obviously meant as a compliment. Joelinton has widely been regarded as one of the worst players in the league so he was just expressing his suprise, like the rest of us, that he's actually fucking amazing.

Not really that much of a compliment, saying you're good now but you were shite, not sure an interviewer should be coming out with things like that. Plenty of players have turned things around and I don't recall an interviewer doing that 

I do think he was trying to be funny but it's shit craic really

If Ronaldo had made more contact then it would have been similar to Robertson and therefore a red imo 

Varane was a handball, not easy for the ref to give and VAR was probably delighted it was outside the box so didn't have to give it

I thought the Fraser one could have been a pen, especially when you consider the one Maddison got against us

He was absolutely superb tonight and has comfortably been the best player since Howe arrived 

He was terrible as a striker and I genuinely didn't think he would ever make it here, even when he was played as a 10 or even wide I don't think he was consistently that good 

I don't think even those that always felt he would come good had him down as a midfield general

It's been a pleasant surprise and long may it continue 

Going to be a ridiculously long 45 minutes (or 52 once the ref keeps playing on)

Rashford goal is guaranteed 

Ashley has properly scarred us when we are being linked with Trippier and people are panicking over the fee

Those stingy days are behind us, stop fretting man 

I do think Wijnaldum improved aspects of his game at Liverpool due to being involved in the game more, though here he wouldn't see as much as the ball

Wijnaldum would be good if we are getting someone like Kamara as well but wouldn't be happy if he is the only CM we sign

I do like Lamptey but for where we are right now Trippier is the better signing by far if we can pull it off

He's better defensively, good on set pieces but also he would provide the squad with a lift that someone like Lamptey couldn't

Leicester gonna win this 5-4

Depends how they sell it. "We stop up and we Man City things you'll be the father figure of what we create" and be very well compensated.

I'd love to be wrong but I just think our position makes that a very difficult sell

Just now, madras said:

Really ? I said Koulibaly like not necessarily him. Mix of quality and experience is definitely required there and is as realistic as a Botman with years ahead of him.

I get that but why is someone of his level going to come for a relegation scrap? 

The same could even be applied to Botman though he is younger and likely to be on relatively low wages

I think we need to be realistic about the level of player we can attract due to our league position 

8 minutes ago, madras said:

Botman bit of a statement signing but would he be a hit the ground running signing ? Very young, new to prem etc. I was hoping for a Koulibaly type for the back 4.

Our situation dictates a Koulibaly signing isn't realistic

If we stay up then maybe, otherwise it will be in 18 months assuming we get promoted at the first attempt

Why's Vardy not taking a pen?

Just about to ask that

Very odd

Ramos gets sent off for PSG, he's racked them up in his career like 

It's strange they didn't do this last season when we also had disruptions

However I haven't used mine so not complaining that I have 2 free hits 

I hope Fati can remain injury free but I fear he'll just be one of those players that is constantly injured, which would be a shame because he's a serious talent

If broadhead has done his hamstring they are totally fucked which is hilarious 

Nah man, they have the Loch Ness Drogba, they'll be reet

Did I hear the commentator right? Did he describe Ross Stewart as the Loch Ness Drogba?

Just now, ManDoon said:

Would anyone have Elneny here? Him and big Eddie would be very good for us imo 

I would, big improvement on what we have currently
