With that said, I wouldn’t blame him for choosing a different job lol we’re a mess

 

Just read that United probably have no Martinez, Varane, Rashford, McTominay, Shaw, or Garnacho for the FA Cup semi final against Brighton.

Big opportunity there.

 

Suit em all up, Brighton would still win

 

There’s no depth at all behind but front 6 of:

Casemiro - Eriksen
Antony - Bruno - Sancho
Martial

is better than what we’ve had to work with since New Years pretty much

I genuinely don’t know anyone can have any complaints with EtH given the job he’s done with such a shallow squad that’s still clearly missing out on very important pieces and juggling so many fixtures with said squad

More games than anyone in Europe and your back up CBs are Maguire and Lindelof, your back up CMs are Fred and McTominay, your number 9 options are a donkey and an always injured Martial… i’m very happy with just a top 4 finish/League Cup but would be buzzing if we could also add the FA or Europa League

 

EtH has currently got a better PL win % in his first season that both Guardiola & Klopp had, plus has won a trophy and is still in 2 more comps. Pretty good, & will only get better

 

Yeah, I think it’s impressive what he’s done in such a short amount of time with that squad.

 

Fucking end me if they're both done for

 

With how injury prone Varane is and the fact he already retired from France and he can’t keep up with the two games a week pace means we desperately need a CB in the window.

 

May I introduce you to Yerry Mina?

 

You can take Laporte if you want

 

United will still beat Spurs in a couple weeks

 

Was managed by Pep for two seasons in his mid-thirties but he's apparently Pep's ‘student’.

 

Just learned the inspiration for Trent Crimm writing a book about AFC Richmond is a tribute to Grant Wahl and what he did writing the book about Beckham and LA Galaxy. He helped them before passing building the character and idea. Figured people here would love that.

 

Villa are so good. If they’d sacked Gerrard a fortnight earlier, they’d be going for CL I think.

 

This is an absolute hammering so far. Aston Villa should be 3-0 up.

 

Smart by Newcastle to put in some heavy challenges and really get stuck in to try and kill the momentum and reset a bit. Not the prettiest tactic but too often teams just try and play through the onslaught and get turned over in the process.

 

Villa not being up 3-0 has got to make everyone down there feel nervous for some smash and grab.

 

Emery being smarter than a cretin like Gerrard shocker lol

 

How has Bruno been booked yet?

 

You can go back and I have posts rating him because I do think he’s a good player for the level he was at. But fuck me spending or attempting to spend that money on Gordon was a mistake.

that said, Newcastle will win this somehow.

 

Knew it all along :smugface:

 

He’s just so raw for his age. I rated him as a quasi wing back at Everton. He just doesn’t really seem to have the control or brains to play as an attacking winger for a side up the table.

 

Pope has been massive today.

 

Brilliant counter. Close close call here.
