    Well a game we should win. Though we have already been jinxed as apparently totingham have the worst away record at old trafford. Or something **** like that.

    Let's hope the boss continues to play miki. Though no doubt will be dropped for fellani.

    Interesting fact.

    Tottenham Hotspur stole the Hotspur name from another club. Theives.

    Herrera to rinse Dier for 90 mins again. I expect the spud utlility man to retire after the game. Maybe even during the game!

    I'm not expecting much more from the game. Nice to have Bailly back. But who should partner him... Jones, Blind or Rojo?

    Shaw at LB please.

    Yeh I'm leaning towards that. Both are similar in their no nonsense style but imo that's what we need right now.

    Rojo is ****. Jones could be great if he wasn't made of chocolate.

    Jones and Bailly - if for no other reason than it has the ring of an old-fashioned Sunday night TV double act about it.

    FFS! pure kafka. That's it, the PSV injury's ****ed him. I doubt we'll ever get more than a few months out of him in any season.

    We won't win.

    When do we ever do anything like take advantage when one of our rivals loses?

    Story of the last 3 seasons (and a couple under Fergie), our rivals drop points, we drop the same or more.
    I have come to expect and almost accept it now :(

    Watched the Real Madrid vs Depor match this evening. Only posting in here because what impressed me the most was the hunger they had to win the game, even when they went 2-1 down. Ran for every ball, every 50/50, inmediately went on the offensive, had 4 or 5 runners every time they won back possession. And all of that without their 2 best attacking players, Ronaldo or Bale. Attitude was unbelievable... to make things happen. Won 3-2 in the end. We have the personnel but just not enough of the same hunger or desire.

    Every time I see Morata I'm so impressed by him (apart from the occasional dive). Such a great attitude. Just fights for everything, even the lost causes. Love that.

    The "occasional dive" is the Spanish way, that's why Suarez has fit in so well there :grin:.
    Ramos reminds me of G.Nev a bit with his passion for the club and never give up attitude.

    Just seen the team news. We are going to get rinsed <laugh> Truly mindboggling!! No Bailly, no Rooneys and Jose persists with Pogba at AM.

    I hope to **** I'm wrong but can't see us breaking Spuds down. And I can't see us keeping a clean sheet either. WTF is Mourinho seeing.

    Weren't people on here calling for Rooney to be dropped and Pogba given a more free role a few weeks ago?
