    Ah well saved the heartache of losing it all on the final day haha

    He scored an equalizing (albeit lucky) goal in a UCL quarter final against the favourites for the competition, he can celebrate however he wants. Gnabry on the other hand was glorious haha didn't even hesitate to celebrate against his former club in front of a packed Emirates.

    It's annoying they got rid of the away goals rule, always found it made the tactical approach to ties more interesting.

    United are in a similar position to Chelsea right now re: next move on the managerial front. Unfortunately there's no standout options available and it just so happens there are more appealing projects on the hunt for those that are willing to take the next step, ie RDZ, Amorim, Nagelsmann etc...

    The best part about ETH potentially out the door is that the most obvious candidate is Southgate. That appointment and the ensuing laughs would at least some part take the pain away from Klopp going. RDZ is also very obviously on the move, Brighton look disinterested and he's checked out. Be...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    90 shots conceded in 3 games against Liverpool haha. I'm not sure that's a case of dropped points for United, despite taking the lead they had no business getting out of that game with a point. LFC wasteful and unfortunately just didn't have it together mentally. Aside from Mac Allister, Diaz...

    Szoboslai shoulnd't start again for a very long time after that. Encapsulated everything wrong with LFC's approach to that game, reckless in possession and wasteful in front of goal. No composure whatsoever

    Played the occasion instead of the game. Absolute bozos

    We have been waiting all season. Even City fans will tell you they haven't looked anywhere near their best, Pep is frustrated by it too. I'm not saying I don't fear them, simply that they're not in the driving seat here

    I don't see it that way - Spurs, Brighton, Forest, Fulham. 4 away games in their next 6, then throw in two games against Madrid too. Obviously City are capable and it could turn at any point but no one can watch them right now and think this is a team that is in form or playing well. That 6...

    Jeez this United game has got me nervous. We need to just play the game and not the occasion and we go on to become title favourites. Hard to ignore what Arsenal are doing, they look electric, have players returning and most importantly their defence is rock solid. By contrast City look very...

    9 games to go. Now the real title race begins

    Fair I guess maybe our luck ran out. Not the worst fixture for it to happen, hopefully the lads have a good few weeks off and we start getting some bodies back for the run home

    Were we that dominant? I didn't catch the game, 2nd one I've missed this season and from all reports it was pretty poor from both sides, needless to say I didn't bother with the replay haha. With some luck United will now make the final and give ETH a contract extension

    Yeah those draws worked out perfectly for us. Easy enough tie against Atalanta where we can finish it off in the first leg at Anfield and we've landed on the opposite side of the draw to Leverkusen, Roma and West Ham. Relatively straightforward path to the final in Dublin. Meanwhile Arsenal...

    I'd fancy Atleti to beat Arsenal. They're a dangerous side with a manager who knows how to win big games. Real are still right up there and Bayern have the pedigree too. Any team that includes Mbappe is also a chance. All those sides I have ahead of Arsenal

    Worrying signs when you have to go120min at home with Porto and narrowly get through on pens. That should have been a comfortable fixture. I had Arsenal as 3rd or 4th favourites for UCL but may have to reconsider. Manager and squad probably a bit too inexperienced this time around.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    I agree with this. The issue is it gets particularly subjective when the player is stooping for a header or happens to be shorter than the guy trying to kick the ball. Mane got sent off a few seasons ago against City for a foot in a similar position to Doku's - just in that scenario Ederson was...

    Agreed with most the thoughts on here about the game but slightly disagree here. We were all over the shop with our press in the first 10min, City were carving us up. Endo and Macca worked it out between them and I thought we were far the better side from mins 10-20, that Stones goal was...

    Only other guy I considered but his suspension hurt City earlier in the season and they've been suspect defensively which is a huge part of his role. Obviously he's a crucial player and they're a different team without him, I just think Foden has been the main guy this time around. Scored...
