And frankly, luck. There are so many things that we can’t control - bad calls, good calls for other teams, freak injuries. Not to diminish what we have done but I still think how everything had to line up last year - let alone the last few - is a miraculous.

One of those things, I'm convinced, was having Sheffield United in the semis of the FA Cup. No disrespect, but it was not exactly a strenuous challenge. To have that sandwiched between really hard matches was a godsend. It in fact seemed to take the players minds off what they were doing, so that they wouldn't tense up.
Chelsea will, for sure, be more of a challenge.

Well, that's us fucked!!!

Wasn't it the Lowry where bacon face went to give PSG a pep talk one year just before we, you know, beat them.

Finally - a fully fit squad

Hopefully it stays that way until the end of the season.

I believe the old Pisscan tours the globe giving pep talks to our opponents before every game. It's his job as rag ambassador.

Bellingham “Man city won the treble of course people think they’re favourites. “But we’re Real Madrid” Arrogant wanker!

Thanks for sharing. Top Blue clearly

Sorry about living upto your expectations of what a "top blue" is. Guess at 64 years old I am not down with you kids!

Yes because that mindset has worked well for the rags lately hasn't it.
