OK, let's be realistic

It's a muffin............just being realistic

Everyone could see we needed recruitment and then we didn’t replace Alvarez! I said at the start of the season we wouldn’t win the title possibly the CL because it’s roll of the dice, the last 7 years as a supporter have been exhausting apart from the 100 points nearly every title has come down to the wire, it’s been exhausting to watch, Christ that Spurs game last season was horrendous especially when Son went through, can you imagine playing in thise games knowing the tiniest mistake could lose you the title, Akanji should’ve bought Ortega a huge Xmas present for that save alone. The board should’ve seen all this last season was an overachieving year the team were on fumes, had we beat Madrid we wouldn’t have won the league, so you have a word with Pep and increase squad size or you buy and sell others to refresh the squad, we did neither, that’s on them.

Spot on about the exhaustion

I remember coming home from the Tottenham game and feeling as though I'd played the full 90 minutes.

Aren’t we the only English club to have been relegated in the season after winning the league title?

Yeah, but the even more astonishing aspect is that we were the highest scoring team in the league, that year.

My old colleague went to the game yesterday. He was a neutral fan spending Christmas with families nearby. His seat was next to the away side dugout. He said he was genuinely worried about Pep's mental health. It looked as if the life had been sucked out after Villa scored the first. Regardless Pep is staying or not the club should intervene and provide some emotional support to him and the team. It does not look right.

Fuck me. The defence must’ve been even worse than it is now :-)

It's a weird old story. Calling @Gary James on that one.

I don’t really buy that about needing to finish top 4. The fact we’re won it recently and have Pep will attract the right kind of player who wants to lead our next generation in my opinion.

United went from 1st to 7th is that where we’re headed?

hey? When were the rags first?

Top players will want to play in the CL not the Thursday Night Trophy.
