Luiz Diaz is a beast, ffs

Pool's scouts are just too good

Yep they have a eye for talent. Most of their signings have had such a impact and just slotted in..haven't had to spend insane amounts either. Hopefully we can start to build towards something...

Diaz looks like a great signing + gives Liverpool so many options in attack all of a sudden

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

We genuinely faced Brighton at the worst time. 4 points dropped.

They are owned by some yank sports management kind of consortium as well. maybe this gives hope that having some kind of sporting capabilities and vague financial restraints add quality to the recruiting policy for us too

Just hearing Boehly speak with regards to the use of data and identifying players that can play in multiple positions and systems gives me hope he has an understanding of how to build a successful team, no matter the sport.

Wouldn't mind a United win here

[milka 3,362]

psg  are tottenham in the Champions League and tottenham are psg  in PL

pointless clubs 

[Milan 17,881]

Hattrick for Ronaldo, and a superb one too. 3-2 United

[Pizy 18,538]

Was hoping for a draw here. Really staggering to think where United would be this season without CR7. He destroys their general play and makes them a terrible watch to neutrals but he seemingly scores ALL of their vital goals. They’d be languishing in midtable without him. They’re awful.

Why. A United win is better. Mathematically and otherwise.

I’m not worried about Spuds since they’re world class bottlers. So I want to keep United as far from us as possible. They can theoretically go on a CR7 and improved Sancho inspired winning run to end the season and since we still have to play them, they could make us sweat if we lose form.

Had both of these dropped points today I think we could’ve safely stopped thinking about them. Now we still have to continue monitoring United’s results for a bit longer.

Do we?! Oh 2nd to last game. Goodie!

6 behind but we've played 2 less so thats good at least. ..unless we get a point deduction in which case doesn't matter lol.

we are sitting so much better than Manure atm

especially as we have 2 games in hand

On-the-pitch-wise, Arse pipping us for 3rd is my only semi worry atm (can put that to bed by beating them at the Bridge), along with, of course, the next rounds (after these current ones) of the FA Cup and the CL

Manure's remaining games  4 (2 home, 2 away) of those league games are against historic top 7 teams, we have 3, 2 of them at home

 

our remaining games

Top 4 should be safe. United have tougher run-in. Yet to play Liverpool, Arsenal, Leicester, CFC .

We can't finish below Arsenal..that be too much! Been above them all this time to finish below unless something drastic out of our hands happens..no thank you!

[Milan 17,881]

Everton lost again. With their schedule, they are in big trouble. Going for an inexperienced Lampard will backfire.
