So an FA cup semi-final against a team managed by a man who scored a famous goal in an FA Cup run 33 years ago that led to the start of the Fergie dynasty, just to put it out there. The FA Cup final takes place on 25th May 2024. The next day? The 25th anniversary of the 1999 Champions League...

£30 million is a good fee for Dan James and he will be a good fit for Leeds. Hope he does well. i know we all want the DM which we clearly need, but buying CR7 for 20m and selling James for 30m.... A week ago I would have bitten your hand off even if we didn’t bring a midfielder in...

All united so far, should be a couple of goals up already

2-0 - Shoretire

Pretty amazing fee considering City spent £40 million on a recently relegated Nathan Ake last year as a comparison

As far as I’ve seen, there is no first refusal, just the sell on clause. If someone could just splash £50 mill or so on Zaha (go on Arsenal we know you want to), then that would be lovely.

I suppose the comparison is with the Astana game last year which I think was just before City away where it was literally the U23s plus Grant, Shaw, Tuanzebe and Lingard. A similarly, but not totally, meaningless game in the context of the season with a big game against one of our rivals a few...

Yes top 4 secured and because Leicester and Chelsea play each other, just need 1 point for top 3 (or just don’t lose to Leicester on Tuesday).

It’s now actually quite simple As it stands, 5th and 6th get EL and 7th gets Europa conference. Only difference is if Chelsea win ECL and don’t finish in top 4. If they win ECL and finish 5th, 6th goes into Europa and 7th into Europa conference (Unless Leicester win the cup and finish 8th I...

Edit. Just saw West Ham have a game in hand, so 76 points in that case then for 4th and 77 for 3rd, not that West Ham will get close to 76..

As of now 74 points would guarantee at least 4th. 76 points for 3rd.

The other thing to keep in mind is that there is the possibility that 4th might not get you in if Arsenal win the Europa League and one of Chelsea/Liverpool win the champions league and finish outside the top 4. A few ifs there but with the recent draws not out of the question. Important to...

Yep, one quick look at the league tells you 70 points will get you top 4 this year (almost certainly less), that would be just 13 points from 9 games which would be a disappointment if we didn’t get more than that. Think the top 4 will finish as it currently is. West Ham, Everton not good...

So who for MOM? Shoretire with the hat-trick, Diallo with a goal and 3 assists, Mejbri has been majestic I have to say, with Neville with by far the best game I’ve seen him have. No CB’s and Elanga injured as well. This team is such a strange but wonderful team to follow.

One thing that amazes me with Jose is how he used to dig out Luke Shaw at every opportunity (even when he had a good game and even when he was no longer the manager) but Aurier , who is a much worse defender, doesn’t get anywhere near the same treatment and who was probably more worthy of it.
