  1. I know its easy to take the piss out of Arsenal for that but it's got to be pretty expected right? Very slim chance of it happening but there is a chance. On an organisational front, they've got to be prepared for that eventuality in what is one of the richest competitions in world sport. When we won the title with Rafa on the last day as opposed to Brighton despite being 7 points behind with 3 games to go, we had a display board ready to go and you can bet they'd had a practice run of putting it up before a ball was kicked on the final day.
  2. So important for us. As adequate as Burn and Kraft have been (for fourth and fifth choice centre backs) it's on the ball that makes such a difference. So often when the back four had the ball, they were slow and ponderous and passed between themselves, allowing Man U to get into a solid shape. They just let Burn and Kraft have the ball with little to no pressure and you could see why. Whereas Schar's ability to ping a ball instantly across field opens up so many more gaps.
  3. world class save, mild applause. It is really odd.
  4. Thought the magpie was brilliant. The sun was shining in just the wrong place at the wrong moment and made the Gallowgate hard to make out on the TV.
  5. Not sure how people are writing off Europe when us not qualifying requires both Chelsea and Man U to win 4 more points than us in only 3 (for us, 2) games.
  6. Fair play Murphy, don't win the raffle if you don't buy a ticket
  7. Is it just me or does this seem like a very long half time?
  8. Would love Anderson to finally score. Surprised to see Murphy continue over Barnes but he had a great game last time, so no complaints.
  9. Always rated the bloke.... by which I mean I thought he was a decent striker for the £3million we paid for him, not that I expected to see him scoring in the Champions League semi final
  10. Sit doon Steve, you were past it before you joined us
  11. That was such a dreadful corner to start with too
  12. A few times this season, hearing our fans sing "You've seen United now fuck off home" against anyone but Man U. Made sense against them but just doesn't seem right us singing it against anyone else, I don't want us to have that level of arrogance that chant has always suggested when Manchester have sang it.
  13. I know he's playing it up, but imagine a Man U fan being annoyed at Howard Webb. Bloke has made a living off giving everything to Man U.... actually could say that of most prem officials for the past 3 decades . Didn't get to be heading up the PGMOL by being mean to the top 6, that's for sure.
  14. You may be a Man U fan, but this is literally 75% of pre-match posts on here all year. You may be saying this to the wrong crowd
  15. Thought Burn was brilliant today. Hall's performance was an interesting one, thought he showed exactly why; a) We're buying him but also B) why he hasn't been playing too much. Early parts of the game Hall, Kraft and Tino all looked a bit skittish under what amounted to not much more than Bluster from Burnley. However, Hall in particular really grew into the game and looked very composed on the ball. Not sure that would have happened without Burn being so solid next to him.
  16. Credit to Murphy for not crossing it first time, absolutely the right decision. Quality finish too.
  17. That would of been goal of the season if Longstaff had scored that
