Froggy Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Just throwing it out there, if Bruno is still out we have next to no chance. The scoreline was close against Arsenal, but there was no-one capable of that pass to split the defence. In reality they were very comfortable. Highly unlikely Martinez is thrown in as well. It'll be Casemiro and Evans again, and Martinez coming on later in the game. Small chance of a Kambwala start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likelylad Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I've been offered my mate's season ticket in the home end as his lass is about to drop a sprog on the same day. I'm usually pretty sensible in home end's but I'm not sure i could contain myself if we scored or even better got a result against these lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 what are the chances of Bruno F being out again? a lot more optimistic here if he's missing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was back in training end of last week. My guess would be that he starts and Rashford/Martinez will be on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably sound mad and maybe I'd think otherwise if I had the chance but I'm not sure I'd even take such an offer. I imagine I'd feel really unsatisfied if we won and I had to pretend like I wasn't happy while watching the away section go bonkers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) 3 points clear of these, pressure is on them. I’d be a lot more confident with Schar around but we can do this. We’ve pretty much owned them since the cup final loss Edited May 13 by Andy84 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went with them Intentions when I was in with the villa fans this season , but I'd had a few say the least and I wasn't pretending to be a villa fan by a long way . When they scored they were all jumping around and I was sitting down with emotionless and when we scored I was beaming ... A good few obviously clocked on I was a Newcastle fan and gave me some looks but other than that I was alright somehow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine I'd feel really unsatisfied if we won and I had to pretend like I wasn't happy while watching the away section go bonkers. Was sat in with the Leeds fans years ago when Shearer scored a last minute equaliser at Elland Road. They were all proper kicking off that day as it was Bowyer's first game back against them and they wanted blood. When Shearer's goal hit the back of the net I have no idea how I kept a straight face, think it was mostly the fear that they'd beat the shit out of me! tl;dr - don't take it, it won't be anywhere near as enjoyable.

TheBrownBottle Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) A point likely guarantees European football next year. I would absolutely take a point now if offered - though I absolutely believe that we can win Edited May 14 by TheBrownBottle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beginning to wish I hadn’t been on the wind-up quite so much. Feeling nervous about this now. Desperately want to win. Perhaps the nervousness comes from hidden memories of all the other times I’ve desperately wanted us to win and we haven’t. Anyhow, a point wouldn’t be bad, but if we perform… could be glorious. Adding to LC knock-out (and pay back) by actually costing them something more significant at their place. This could be their lowest ever finish in PL era. Howay lads just this once.
