Main thing is, under Gerrard we would have caved and lost that 3-0 easily. We are better now.

Not really, is not that important to me.

Fair enough. Appreciate your thoughts.  

Don’t you just hate Ivan Toney?? 

I’m gonna be selfish here and say this is good news for us peeps on the waiting list

Guess money can buy you referees. 

7th place. Starting to feel like 2007-2010 era all over again. Getting dizzy from being so high up after months in 11th

It’s almost like we just don’t want to be in the top ten. We’ve tried it, we hate it, let’s keep 11th. 

To be fair, all the players are really playing for is to stay top of the bottom half. No chance of getting past 11th because Chelsea seem to have a vice like grip on 10th. You can tell they’ve got one eye on next season already, but we’ve got Steven Gerrard to thank for our season being over by March. Gonna be a long two months.

I know what you mean but generally it isn’t half hour difference, it can be much more than an hour for some on bad days which we’ve had some with the trains recently and I suppose for those with families it could be a big deal.  I’m there for the full game because I can.

My issue is those that go down for half time after 35/38/40 minutes, I know the service is shocking but if you are that desperate for food and drink then you have issues, why not just have food before the game starts.  I go to the toilets at half time and have no issues in 15 minutes.  It’s just annoying when the rest of us are trying to watch a game, I know my mate missed a goal recently because the people in front had to get up for people moving early, which is unfair.

That pisses me off so much. All game yesterday people kept getting up throughout the game and it’s like why bother coming if you’re just gonna leave your seat for most the game? It’s very selfish to the people around you also.

Ye no I get it to some extent. It's just that the last ten minutes is effectively the deciding phase of the game. If you've committed to being out for 6 hours on a Saturday for the football, what difference is six and a half hours?

To be fair I used to just go to the pub after

It fascinates me how empty the ground is towards the end of the game. On 85mins about half of the fans in our section were starting to leave. As we move into the 5mins of injury time another quarter left. There was literally one quarter of our block left at the full time whistle.

Surely this isnt people needing to be somewhere straight from the game. It just seems odd to me when the game is in the balance that you dont want to see the outcome. I mean I suppose it doesnt matter whether you're there or not, you cant impact the outcome. Its bizarre as to the volume of people though who dont want to see the conclusion.

You seen the train station after full time ? Personally I drive, but when I used to get the train if you don’t leave before the final whistle you won’t get home until the following Saturday.

Villa are just absolutely miles ahead of them. Considering the shite we’ve been through in the time period of their demise post-Moyes it really speaks volumes about how they’re run. 

I totally agree. I think my hate of them comes from when we had that bit of rivalry with them for 5th spot. Their fans were odious and cocky and I’d just love to see them go down

I went yesterday - I thought the atmosphere was quite good considering we are mid table and playing for basically no more than pride with no cup runs under our belts.  We ain’t gonna be rivalling the likes of arsenal for atmosphere when they’re sat at the top of the table and we are top of the bottom half I think the atmosphere matches the team currently and I have no complaints. 

I’m disappointed Everton are winning. I’d love to see them go down. 

Im on the way home from the ground now. Wasn’t the most exciting game but the lads ground out the win well when Palace were intent on being as aggressive as they could. McGinn was brilliant - MOTM for me.

win, lose or draw, deep down we all know we are going to somehow end up still in 11th place by the end of the weekend

We just cannot break that ceiling can we!  

Im going to this. Can’t **** wait!

To be honest it's because Wembley is a nightmare to get away from after games. If I was a united fan today I'd have left once the board for the number of added minutes went up.

Yeah to be fair you’re not wrong. I’ve had the experience after games and after gigs and it’s horrendous!

I can’t see them?

Really? There were tons. 

So many empty seats in general in the man United end. Couldn’t imagine be that too used to success. 

Also noticed Saka’s possible red was omitted from MOTD highlights. 

Quite scary that we are only 8 points away from the bottom three when you think how close we were to getting into the top ten a few games back. 

Crystal Palace are winning so back down to 12th we slide. A few weeks ago we could have broken into the top ten but instead lost to Leicester. Funny how football comes at you fast. 

I tried for days and days to get tickets to this match. Any seats with a decent view had long gone by 5.02pm the Monday they went on sale. I checked for days, and weeks in the hope a ST might have given one up. I didn’t get one despite my dedicated efforts. And my god am I glad I didn’t. I don’t mind going to games where we lose but to lose like that I’d have been fuming had I’d been there. Gutless.
