Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

If that happens I can see it more likely resulting in at least one red card for United.

 

Nice to see all those years you spent at the School of the Bleedin' Obvious wasn't wasted mate

 

They were a ****-hair’s width away from being onside for the goal that would have got them through. Not really a schooling in anyone’s book

 

You should try wearing my specs

It looked like we scored 3 at their place and they managed none at ours...over a 2 legged affair...that is a schooling

 

That is certainly one way of looking at it.


Anyway, I’m glad you scraped through the tie

 

In a back three with wing backs you'd have to have Jones instead of Young.
Yes, Jones is ****e but at least he's a defender. Young isn't and he definitely can't play in a back three.

With a three man midfield of McTominay, Herrera (hopefully) and Pogba we'd need a pace outlet up front so has to be Rashford and Martial.
If Herrera doesn't play and Matic has to, would consider Mata a midfield option instead of McTominay.

Whether Ole does is another matter of course.

You should visit the United board, we do talk about football over there sometimes.

 

An utter UEFA away goals schooling.

 

Yeah, it's obvious now that I have pointed it out.

This is one of my principle roles on this board, Trebs.

 

Have you telephoned Pep and Ole? I think they should know.

 

Yes, but neither will take my call.

 

Do you really think the players care that much about the rivalry?

 

Probably a ****ing good hiding

 

City will create loads of chances against a very static United defence ... whether they take them determines the outcome. Wouldn't bet on United given the lethargy of the display at Everton, but there has to be a reaction to that surely? ... City by the odd goal is my prediction.

 

For wum purposes, yes, I do.

 

Anyone here listen to talksport on the way to work this morning? It seems they have a lot of Matths. It was hilarious what they were saying... one (STH since 1958) wants City to win 8-0

This game isn't the defining ****ing moment anyway... the bottom line is whoever finishes 1st fully deserves it. Tonight just adds a bit of excitement to it. I think Leicester and Newcastle may also have a say in the end...

 

If they know it's you calling is that a surprise?

 

Reckon if we get a draw tonight we'll win the last three games and scrape fourth.

If we lose, we're out of it and if we win we definitely get fourth.

The big game in the top four race is on Sunday, if we beat Chelsea then we eliminate them essentially.
Both them and Arsenal are in a huge stick or twist situation with the EL, which helps us massively.

A draw would suit Liverpool of course and keep it proper tight for who is champions, City not having CL semi as a distraction.

Should be a great end of season all round.

Well, not if Liverpool win the league obviously but you get my point.

 

HIAG was talking about another Pep (his back, sack and crack waxer) and Ole (his latest venture on Grinder).

No surprise they won't take his calls either.
