  1. Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw

    Shame about Atletico, not sure what happened there.. you score that many goals and lose a tie? Poor result. Not sure who will win this all.. will not be Dortmund though. Any of the rest. Mbappe may win it on his own if he makes it to the final.
  2. England Discussion

    If Southgate doesn't get this squad to win something then that's nothing short of failure. He has more top players at his disposal than I can ever recall, and many of other 'top' Euro International teams (Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy..) are all trying to find their next crop of talent...
  3. Cole Palmer | Chelsea Player

    He's superb, in so much form right now. It's wonderful to watch. His first goal was brilliant and he is absolutely miles ahead of the players around him. Only Gareth Southgate would see his talent and get nervous. Next season will be an interesting one for him. Btw, aren't Chelsea an...
  4. Xabi Alonso: Bayer Leverkusen manager - Bundesliga Dinner Plate Winner

    Fabulous achievement. Good for European Club football, so good. Good for Bundesliga too. Napoli, Leverskusen... Gerona, Villa, Brest maybe in CL next season. I think it's great.
  5. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    We looked a very poor side today. We haven't built any personality, character or genuine (as opposed to one-off, or a few games) resilience in a team since SAF moved on. Not one manager since SAF seems to have understood how to manage Manchester United. None of them.
  6. Casemiro | 2023/24 Performances

    Time to move on from this.
  7. Antony | 2023/24 Performances

    Give him some credit, he was better than 'usual' Antony, which isn't much at all. But it doesn't change much, unfortunately. Antony needs to see the season out and find a more suitable club. You can't seriously think he is a credible player in a team with genuine ambitions to challenge for big...
  8. Kobbie Mainoo | 2023/24 Performances

    Not a great game from the young man, but of course we were open, but look at who he has beside him? And look at the coach? And then SMT? Mainoo is probably thinking what's going on.
  9. Post match vs Chelsea

    Exciting game, but was very messy (similar to the Cup Game against Liverpool). We have absolutely no control in games, and that should not be acceptable after the time ETH has had as manager. And we are not getting better. We do not look like we are coached, at all. Chelsea looked the same...
  10. Antony | 2023/24 Performances

    Best game for us, which is something. The game was nuts, lacking quality and suited both teams. His pass for the third goal was outstanding. Cucerella is not the toughest full back, but credit Antony, he had some good moments.
  11. Chelsea vs Manchester United

    Completely different energy when Garnacho leaves the pitch. And btw, Chelsea are awful. Real rubbish. Gallagher and Palmer will leave. They should.
  12. Chelsea vs Manchester United

    I agree with much of this. Chelsea are so average, like a youth team, (Cole Palmer aside, he's a class act and easily, easily their best footballer..). We're not great, both teams are very fragile, very...but we seem to be enjoying this. It's like neither team are coached!!! It's nuts! I stated...
  13. Chelsea haven't beaten united since....

    Really? Blimey... I didn't think it was anything like that. 22 years? I stand corrected, but I do recall us playing well there...
  14. Chelsea haven't beaten united since....

    We tend to play well at Stamford Bridge. I recall Pogba smashing them up a few seasons ago. Rashford too. Hopefully we'll be alright. I see quite a few goals in this game..neither side playing that well. 2-3 United.
  15. How good was Bryan Robson?

    Brilliant footballer. V talented and intelligent on the ball, a leader, the ultimate driving force.. fantastic ball-winner and.... a genuine goalscorer. I don't think there has been a better, all-round player at Manchester United in the last 50 years.
