    You didn’t seriously expect us to lose to Bournemouth, did you?

    I was open minded as we are now firmly into the bottle part of the season.

    Don’t hold your breath, eh...

    Kanes’s injury won’t help, but we coped very well yesterday without him, scoring 4 away from home.

    Against team with six points in their last six games and the cheating diver out too. Lets see what depth you have.

    Absolutely and what made it sweeter was Harry the Ankle telling Chelsea he was coming for us. <laugh>

    They had not lost at home in 4-5 games. They’re a good if somewhat limited side. As Danny Murphy highlighted on MOTD, the tactical change to 4-3-3 after Kane went off, they couldn’t handle.

    Let’s see how bad or otherwise Kane’s injury is.

    Strange definition of bottling then


    Looks to me like we kept pace with you through the second half of the season?

    I know. It eases me into the day without much effort, but it's not really sporting <ok>

    You did bottle it against Juve to be fair. Firmly in the driving seat with two away goals and a lead and the inexperienced heads just went. Too naive to get the game won, Pochettino just had no answers.

    Spurs also had no pressure on them last season, they were never in the title race, its like us saying we kept pace with city by being constantly 15 points behind them during the last 10 games.

    Not really but oooooook, Tel. You more than most United fans seems to have struggled from the transition of greatness to mediocrity, failing to understand the bits in between.

    We didn’t bottle it. They made a tactical switch which we were too slow to respond to. We fell asleep defensively for a couple of minutes and paid the price against a highly experienced side who’ve featured in 2 of the last 3 CL finals.

    In the end, less than the width of a Post was the difference between defeat and extra time.

    Define greatness, your team certainly ain't anywhere near. The fact that we are on our way back is rattling the Spuds to kingdom come, you honestly thought you'd sat down in our chair at the big boys table <laugh>
