Some great posts here, gents. Definitely the best keeper we’ve ever had, his honours and statistics are virtually second to none in the domestic game. 16 goals conceded in a 42 game season was an incredible benchmark for a long time and in 11 seasons with us, he only missed 6 games too. The...

Great first half but the second was ultimately a damp squib. Some okay chances however there was never any real consistency from both teams. I’d say we were better in the first half, you more so in the second. Probably a fair result in the end but it comes to something when you have the two best...

Our attackers look sharp, I’d back them to score against anybody at the moment. Jota has hit the ground running too, that extra dimension has worked well and will definitely be utilised today, whether with a shirt or off the bench. But our defence has been more porous even with the 7 goal...

I wouldn’t rule out VAR forming part of the narrative today. It’s beyond farcical now - the Bamford decision yesterday was absolute madness. Offside for pointing where he’s going, how the fuck does that work? Hopefully though it’ll be a good game between two good sides.

Well, you’ve got Aguero and Fernandinho out, two key players of your spine. Ditto with us, VVD & Fabinho are vital parts of ours. As I said though, enough quality on both sides to still produce a good game. BTTS is an absolute nap.

Good luck for today, gents, reckon it’ll be a belter game. Definitely goals at both ends. Injuries for both sides will affect the flow slightly, but there’s enough quality on show across the board to get a good game of footy out of it. Game on.

I’ve not - I said I agreed with him! Martin Tyler is a grade A fucking strap on - end of.

I’m not sure I agree there, I’ve heard him and many, many other commentators rightly praise you to the heavens. Has that praise always been consistently and justifiably applied? Probably not, but that’s who he is. Like I said, we know he’s a bellend more than most. And as for the chosen ones...

I don’t disagree to an extent. He’s definitely been more positive about us in the last four years or so, mostly coinciding with our rise. If it was Arsenal, he’d be the same with them. The reason we, as in both our fans, notice his bias is because we’re the teams he dislikes most. But as I’ve...

I said above that I’ve been listening to him doing it for thirty odd years. My example is one of the ones that always comes to mind on this subject. I don’t see it as an evidence compiling exercise as such, it’s just one of those things in football. The way Sky fawned over them in the 90s was...

He really doesn’t. I can get why you think he does but thirty odd years of his United wankfest and regular derision of us tells me something different. As I said, I’m long past caring what commentators and the media in general say, there’ll never be any consistency as different people have...

You’re way off there. I’ve mentioned on here before that Tyler hates us as much as anybody. We’ve known for a long time that he’s no mate of ours but if you want an example of how, listen to the commentary of our game against United from September 2015. Benteke has just scored one of the goals...

As someone who’s watched a lot of his games live, I can tell you that his biggest problem by far is he doesn’t know how to arrest a slide, whether in game or over a number of games. Our semi against Villa at Wembley was the worst performance I’ve ever seen by us there. They were passing and...

I went to the Camp Nou on a tour when I was a kid when we were playing footy in some schools youth tournament. Never forgotten the absolute scale of it and this was the late 80s. It’s still up there with anything when it’s bouncing and is definite top table material. Fair to say that it’s...

To be fair, he lost two finals to one of the greatest club sides ever. I’m made up he did because it means they’re nowhere near our total but a little unlucky to play them in two finals. That said, tactical naivety cost him more than once in Europe, throwing 4-4-2 at everything was mopped up by...

The 1996 game sounds like a belting trip, great game to be at! I’ve always loved AC since I was a kid from the Sacchi era, think that when we were going to Istanbul I was just as excited to watch them really. Especially Maldini, one of my favourite ever players. I think you’re probably right...

Aye, I see what you mean but after going there in 2008 for our CL game against Inter, it’s just one of those magical football stadiums where you can feel the history of the place. Kind of didn't want to miss any opportunity to go before it goes if you get me? Them’s the breaks, I suppose. What a...

Ah, didn’t realise the renovations were complete now. Nice one, mate, that makes missing that trip easier to swallow.

Don’t think any of the English clubs should be terrified about their pots. United’s is the hardest, relatively speaking, but they’ll come out of that. I’m just gutted that three brilliant trips won’t be happening, especially the Atalanta one. Would have loved to have gone to the San Siro again...

Good post, that. Said on here the other day that I’d be surprised if the winners get over 90 points this year. It’ll be between us and you though all the way, not even Chelsea with their mega splurge will claw that much back that quickly. Plus the likes of Lampard, Solskjaer and Arteta are...
