For anyone who seriously believes any English team from the past could compete with Pep's City, Harry Enfield is the medicine.

Who doesn’t believe the triple is on??



We turn up, we win. Simple. We are unstoppable.

Good comments, can I make one correction: the Scottish bully wasn't employed for twenty-five years, it is 37 (and counting) he still gets something like £4 million a year as some sort of consultant/director.

At the start of the season there was talk of a footballing 'think-tank' with him and Bryan Robson and some other guy, I wonder if that did 'owt, or was it quietly sidelined by ETH who doesn't seem to be the guy who would want advice from old school shouty bullies and a failed ex-Middlesborough manager.

You know, much as I dislike Keane — and I dislike him intensely — he's spot on in his assessment of Ferguson. That guy has always been on the make. And Ferguson has been prepared to exploit his beloved club to the maximum.

I am really looking forward to this now, couldn’t come fast enough for me. Just remember since the New Year, Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern and Madrid and how we just took them all apart. We have been magnificent.

PS - and we are playing at home.

I did read an article recently that claimed that if we win the treble it wouldn’t be as good as United’s because they made harder work of theirs. I think it was meant to be serious

Nothing that stupid could possibly be meant to be serious.

Totally agree. I believe that it is in Keane's book (I haven't read it, but its been quoted extensively in their RedCafe) that he told Ferguson to back down over that race horse dispute, but he wouldn't. Arguably, that lead to the Glazer takeover and years and years of struggles. I'm still annoyed they won the Carabou Cup this season - I was hoping for ten barren years at least, or even 40!

I'd love it if we smash them 6:0 at the weekend, but I know it won't happen. It will be 13 vs 11 for a start, with the on-field ref and VAR playing for United. They will dive and roll around and argue to try and drag it to pens. And even if we do get two or three nil up, we won't go for six or more because there is still one more game to play and for the biggest prize of them all.

if we play like we did vs Arsenal, Bayern, and Madrid at home, we stroll it. I just hope the rest hasn't affected that momentum.
