The Title Race - 2023/24

[Chappie]

Varane and Casemiro were once top players but well on the decline when united bought them.

They got them at a knock down price though.

Probably like most of us, I was hoping for another Arsenal slip up so there was less pressure on our trip to Spurs, but I can't see it happening. Three more to go and three wins needed. Unless there's a drastic change, goal difference isn't going to come back into play for us with 6 to make up and one less scored still.

Beat Fulham and maybe the added pressure sees Arsenal struggle, but the rags have been so poor I just can't see it. And the way Spurs played when they brought Richarlison on and Son went wide is an insight into what we'll face. They're not going to be the same pathetic version of themselves they've been.

I reckon Pep knows what to do.

no, but it would be nice :)

Of course! Never turn down help if offered. Watching that last night, I wouldn't be getting my hopes up, though.

Casemiro was never anywhere near Rodri, especially last season when Turdinhand said it. Casemiro was helped by the players around him at Madrid, Rodri helps the players around him

If we take it to the last day and just lose out then win the FA Cup it will be a great achievement considering the seasons befores toll and injuries throughout.

Quite relaxed about the next 3 games, take one at a time, fulham is our hardest one imho, get past that then I am 80% confident the title is ours

Fulham won't park the the bus and they are not in good form, 1 win in 7, I believe. Spurs will be a much tougher game.

A small crumb of comfort now we realise the rags won’t be doing us any favours on the weekend. Only Arsenal and City have accumulated more points than Everton in the month of April, the gravel voiced Stone Cold Steve Austin lookalike is where we should be focusing our positivity and prayers.

Definitely not as good as Rodri

However he was once a good player. Real Madrid don't need to carry players. He was in their team long enough to show they rated him and was good enough to play in that midfield for a while.

He's shot to bits though, that's why they let him go. The rags were too daft to click on that there was a good reason they were letting him go at age 30, it's not that old, he should still have a good few seasons in him, but they knew his legs were gone.

They've done the rags up like a kipper with what they charged for him. Not hard to do though when you see the kind of money they pay for players like Maguire, Sancho, Antony etc. Why wouldn't you ask them for crazy money for even this version of Casemiro?

Bit like when we bought McMahon

Thats true.
I was more querying the rags policy of buying them in the first place.
They seem to have bought a lot of players who were on the way down in their career
Some did OK but for a short time like Van Persie but the second coming of Ronaldo, ibramimovich and that Uruguayan centre forward ( name escapes me ) seemed to be based on popularity and their past exploits.
Bringing back evans smacks of desperation.
