Funny game football. In reality Man Utd were sparked back into life by bringing a young sub on and letting him run around which got his teammates going again. Sometimes that’s all it takes. Great game and great weekend of football and a timely reminder ultimately of the kind of levels we need to reach consistently in the next few years if we are ever to get over the line.

There is a on pitch quiz taking place currently.

Best crosser at the club still when on the move.

Any car parking recommendations for the match today?

They made the statements minutes after the deal was sealed. You are aware the other clubs have ganged together to change several rules to slow our progress down severely? You do follow current events? Just enjoy the ride. Might take 10 years or so but we’ll get there if everyone sticks together. However if we’ve vocal idiots wanting to hound Howe out at the first sign of a dip it may take even longer… Patience.

It’s been known all season as far back as when he returned.

Surprised he’s fit enough. A timely rest would’ve made more sense. Guessing he’ll do more than some light training.

Yep probably my first choice from my limited knowledge. Only other thought was the Brentford bloke as he’s a NUFC fan so you’d hope he’d be more of a keeper and wouldn’t be off gardening in a couple of years.

Inter losing a good result for anyone finishing 5th this season.

Tonight’s reaction… https://x.com/footy_tipster/status/1767992278893699125?s=46&t=DDNXUN2PoOBhgKmoF77zNw

All about money and very little of it about. There was a load of trees planted recently by us in one part (can’t remember where exactly) however some of the nearby residents cut them down overnight “allegedly” due to them not wanting their views blocked. Will be interesting if NUFC do move from their current site to say somewhere like the Arena site as that would eventually cost the Freeman a huge chunk of their income. Not sure if we are protected by the long term Leasehold length agreed or if they can just cut and run.

No he hasn’t. You’ve just been conditioned into thinking they were fouls.

Great first 90mins. Referee has been excellent. Reffed the game the way I like it. Less cheap free kicks given the less the players keep looking for them.

Aye.. bloody hell he looks young for 30. In other news Ben White really does put Clayton Blackmore to shame.

Like the look of the Porto fullbacks. How much would the LB be going for?

Trossard playing and refereeing seems slightly unfair on Porto.

Yep. I agree. However those 4 clubs who are being investigated should still be held to the old rules at least… you’d hope.

I just worry about his complete lack of pace. Like quite a few of our players.

It is really because they’ve remained and extended their stadium twice yet they are miles from others and we are miles off them and they’ve took advantage of the old rules. Only way to catch them with the current rules is have a bigger more adaptable stadium. Anfield can’t host any Cup Finals due to pitch size so there is a slender chance of catching them.

Yet you’ll still have people argue that we can remain at SJP.

I was at both. Sheffield United actually started quite well and could’ve been in front first 10-15mins. Sunderland had a 10-15min spell second half also after losing Joelinton. You are right though ultimately both games we were on top for the best part. Struggling to remember a dominant 90mins like you say. Even PSG at home had long spells despite the score line. Maybe Man Utd away one of our best in the cup but they had chances too. Feel like we’ve never recovered from those 71min substitutions against Liverpool at home mentally. Fans also.

Not a big Longstaff fan but not going to be critical of him playing through the pain barrier with injections every game until he gets his operation in the summer. Questions can start to be asked if he continues to play 90mins but it’s not like we have many alternatives so not the biggest surprise if he does either.
