You mean chance? (singular)

No one ever said the vaccine would eradicate the virus, that was always an unbeliably long shot. The idea is to a) make it a more endemic illness like the one's we live with week in week out and b) reduce symptoms for people that do catch the thing (for example, Pulisic's asymptomatic where Kai caught it pre vaccine and was floored). Only one disease has ever been eradicated totally the rest still exist to some degree or another, even the Bubonic Plague.

Are we going to have this bs every time we sell a player? Did they do the same to United when they sold say Butt or Phil Neville? For 1 Salah there's 20 Van Aanholts.

Tuchel didn't play the record signing for a while, likewise the £50m left back and has the most expensive keeper of all time firmly warming the bench. If Tuchel thought we were worse off without Werner he wouldn't be picking him.

Are we going to hear this every time we sell a player? The same nonsense was said about Solanke.

Got to admit i really enjoyed the interview, hopefully he can now go on and prove me wrong on the pitch.

It's just getting a bit tedious this "omg we're shit and our rivals are incredible" narrative you keep spilling. It's even more strange that you use to swear by proven winners, surprise surprise you've moved the goalposts since Porto.

You're the one that using personal records to define selection. Well it's clearly just a pathway to lead you wanking Arsenal off while banging on about shit we are but still....

On that basis Thiago Silva is shit because his record against Arsenal in the same time frame is also 0%

So it is, last message five years ago 😂😂

Don't get an option for messages just topics and posts, strange.

Yes years ago by mistake and I don't know how to fix it (that or I haven't looked hard enough).

This movement you're trying to play down dragged Ruben Dias away to give Havertz the freedom of Porto and win us the second biggest prize in football. If his presence keeps helping the team create moments of history like that then he can never score again for all i care.

They've cracked flat track bullying, their problems arise when the medals are on the line.

If Ole picks on merit Rashford won't get anywhere near the team.

So hypothetically speaking, if Tuchel was in charge for full season last term, you don't think he'd have had us the seven more points required to get us above United?

To start. At risk of someone throwing loads of examples in the hat and making me look silly, has a player ever been thrown in from the off when he signed so close to the game? The last examples i can think of for us were ironically him and Mata and they came on after an hour in the game in question. Edit: Just remembered Kepa but point still stands to an extent as it's different for keepers.

Stat padding against the lesser sides. We don't really have a game we should on paper be winning comfortably for a while after this one. It's the winning comfortably on paper games that (I assume) is the main reason we've brought Rom in.

So you don't think we will challenge because we ain't proven over 38 games? Ok lets say i accept that, why on the same basis do you think United have a chance of seriously challenging despite their current squad and manager's track record of producing 0 out of 10s when the medals are on the line?

We will likely try and put Kepa on in the last two minutes, I could easily see technically competent teams managing to keep it for a relitevely small amount of time. Is there any reason that subs before the shootout isn't permitted? Seems bizzare tbh.

You literally poured cold water of any top four chances in the prediction thread, don't move the goal posts. If you're going to slate our proven winner players and underestimate our proven world class manager while wanking off our rivals (which include a team who have bottled their last 18 shots at a trophy) every time we don't play great and/or drop points, atleast have the bollax to put it record.

Just typical that the one game in the first two months that's tailor made for Lukaku he most likely won't be ready for.

I tell you what, it you're so convinced this season is going to be shit, would you be willing to put your money where your mouth is? If we finish outside the top four I'll donate £200 to the forum, if we finish inside it you do. If for any reason you don't bet money wise, loser forefits posting rights for the following season. Deal?

I wonder now the cats out of the bag regarding our keeper stragedy for penalties, teams will start playing keep ball against us at that stage to prevent us making the change?
