Their absolute legions of arsehole fans who backed a winner in the 90s and have barely been to a game (lots of Scottish Man Utd fans for that reason + fergie - why not pour their effort and support into their own shite depressing league). 2. The heartbreak they doled out to me as a young kid. So while they aren’t rivals and I don’t hate them like the Mackems, I would gladly see them fold and fuck off forever if that was an option. Irish are the worst for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be pretty comfortable for you in the end. Apart from Casemiro i'm expecting all of them to start apart from maybe Eriksen who might be on the bench after his injury.

andyc35i Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Rashford will play for sure. It’s fairly obvious he pulled out of the England squad purely just to rest and take a break. He’s played a lot of games in a such short space of time this year so I have no issue with ‘knock’ he’s carrying to get out of international duty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My (made up) belief is that he was told Southgate straight and that’s why Southgate wasn’t bothered when asked the question about him being in New York. I’d like to think people can have these conversations in football, but who knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Casimero being out will be good for us no doubt, but considering his replacement is a player who Howe supposedly wants to upgrade our midfield, it's a bit of a piss take to suggest this is going to be anything other than a very tight game. A draw would be the bookie's best bet IMO, but hopefully we will be in the frame of mind to win by any means necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Just to back up what I said earlier, our top two signings since the takeover were Bruno £40m - Man U paid £60m for a 31 year old in comparison - and Isak for £60m, where to buy a top tier striker these days you are talking £100m at least.

I like how you've conviently not included Murphy and Longstaff who are nailed on to start, there is also a pretty decent chance that Anderson starts too dependent on the injury status of ASM Which would mean: Pope - £10m Trippier - £12m Schar - £3m Botman - £32m Burn - £13m Guimaraes - £40m Longstaff - £0 Willock - £25m Anderson - £0m Murphy - £11m Isak - £63m Total: £211m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
