Optimistic Nut

I remember the final two years ago, their comfort blanket was we had an easy run, far easier than the run they had to the Final and they'd have played on that had we beat Man Utd. Must be devastating that we beat all of the top 4 to win this one.

Just seen the crying one. FFS just put the phone down and enjoy it/drink it in.

Jones seems like the Burn of the coaching staff. Learned his trade elsewhere, worked his way to the top as a coach, now living the dream. Fair play.

I meant last external one sorry. Yeah the fans literally saved the club.

A*.

Hopefully better than the last takeover.

I'd be looking at Rigg. 2-3 years time, him & Miley with new club captain Tonali behind them.

Which club is this for?

Rob Elliot sacked at Crawley. Wonder if Gateshead would go back for him to try and save their Play-Off challenge?

No idea. First time I've seen her but she talks sense.

Christ she puts our social media numpties to shame. Brilliant.

Aye. Nowt against Hayden or even Hendrick. They were just symptoms of the Ashley era, but to go from a Championship standard CM to a genuine world class one in such a short time..fuck.

If it was FM he'd be 2* current ability, 4* potential.

They also colluded to let us qualify for the Champions League 2 seasons ago I suppose.

They needed us to be dragged down, and they had to ridiculously overspend just to match the worst version of ourselves. I know they had the derbies, but I imagine our average league finish was still higher under Ashley, even.

Not even 4 years ago.

I and the T in United look conjoined like some of the shoddy club badge stitching we've had...send it back.

Not only was Rigg 4 places beneath Miley in the NXGEN50 list, he was also on the bench for the England U19s last night while Miley started in his position.

Trafford, Mbuemo, Guehi and a few squad fillers (frees and even some loans to pad us out) and I think we're ready for a top 3 push.

Someone like Leeds might take a punt for £12-16m?

Would rather have Kepa.

A. Don't think there's a midfielder close to him that I've seen here. He'll be a hero forever for the Cup, getting us to 4th, etc but it was last Jan to May where he really shone for me. Dragged an average midfield almost single-handedly to top 7, there were games where he'd start us from just in front of the CBs, then within seconds be in and around the oppositions box threading things into Isak. Beautiful player, beautiful man.

Could they go and get Kane, maybe?

Isn't that the sport where players literally sell themselves to the highest bidder to play for a few months?
