Whenever we've been doing relatively well I always remember us getting beat, that 5-2 hammering under Bobby at SJP when we were just about in the title race going into it, they also beat us 2-1 here around that time, obviously the 1-0 I'm 95/96 too, thats what's making me doubt us today even though I think we're just as good as them this season. Was it not 6-2? If i remember rightly we went ahead in that game too thanks to a Jenas belter! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that's the one you're right, think I was getting a mix of that one and 5-3 at their place the year after! Remember that Jenas goal, absolute beauty and everything felt possible at that moment, was devastated when they started ripping us apart, scored 4 in bloody quick succession, think Shola got the consolation at the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed Shearer's thunderbastard FK when I ran to the bogs at Old Trafford as the HT queue was ridiculous - I realised a couple of mins into the second half that I wouldn't be able to last until the end of the game. Learn from my mistakes, folks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Nervous for this now. Such a big chance to not only put daylight between ourselves and the chasing pack, but to open up two Champions League spots. A draw wouldn't be a disaster by any means, but a win would be incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Watching the build-up to West Ham v Southampton and they were talking about our game. Fair play to Neville, said "United... sorry, Manchester United". Nice to see he corrected himself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I know he’s been all right recently but seeing Murphy start games for us is pretty sobering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 If ASM is playing, I hope it’s Dalot at RB, think Wan Bissaka deals with him comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 If that's true, our bench could be: Dubravka Targett Manquillo Lascelles Gordon Joelinton Anderson Wilson Ritchie Got to be our strongest bench in years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lish007 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Yes would have liked to see Joe Linton in there fresh and ready to go but we've been winning without him so i understand Eddie's thoughts. Will be a great beast to bring on if we are defending a lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I think we overrate other clubs benches to be fair. Just for comparison, Liverpools bench from yesterday (on the right), only Firmino and Nunez of note: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
