Yep, gonna watch the **** outta that

Was surprised initially but it seems to make sense after thinking it through. We need bodies, especially if we plan to actually compete in the League and FA Cups for once. He’s an upgrade on Donk and Chambers and should be able to hit the ground running. Every time I watched Luton this year he impressed me, and most of all in Unai I trust. 

Looking forward to watching without any pressure. It’s been a while! Hoping most of all for Ollie’a 20th, then to see some good minutes for the kids and for the away fans to have a blast on this lovely sunny Sunday. 

"+£2m Matchday pricing increase."

Demonstrates just how little is made from gouging fans these days in the grand scheme of things.

What block of trinity we think will be affected?

If I had to guess I'd say around the dugout. Some fancy seats there maybe with access to the lounges in the middle tier, basically extending the hospitality bit down to the pitchside.

Good luck to him, hope it works out.

After last summer's splurge I don't see them having the £100m+ he would cost

The opportunity was there when they went for havertz, who is a good player and doing well at arsenal, but they needed Ollie 

Think you missed a zero out there mate.

Right, now let’s win the word removed. Again. 

Feels like it's our longest rest for ages, and hopefully a player or two comes back to give us more legs. One last push lads.

Took me bloody ages to go to sleep last night. Absolutely knackered today. This is why I'd have been kinda fine with Europa, as at least the morning after is Friday! Bloody CL Tuesdays and Wednesdays will kill me!

Boys   good game. We were the better team. 2-0 we are at the final!!!!!!! gl  at your game in sunday

Fair play, hope you lot go on and win it. Better team over two legs, and your manager outwitted us over two legs which is rare. 

New contract

Good take from Olsen there. 

This really isn’t very good. Would absolutely take a point today. 

Refs get worse every match in this competition. Loads of players had a mare. We’re better than these. 1-4 away. Book your flights.

Sorry edited it. If United finished 8th and won the FA cup, 7th is still Europe?

I think you're right, if Man U win the FA Cup they take the second Europa spot. If they finish 8th or below, then 6th would get conference, 7th would get nothing. But that's not our problem.

    Very reasonable prices. Can’t imagine we’ll see the same if we get CL!

I still don't understand why managers don't have big release clauses like players. People poach great managers and pay £10m in compensation - I'd like to see him with £150m release, something like that.

Assume the other team just has to buy out the contract or something, we don't own the registration like we do with a player which gets the transfer fee. So with that in mind a contract extension means a bit less as a manager than for a player. Still a nice sign though.

I don't really give a shit about the badge as much as most people, just wish we'd pick one and leave it alone. But that new one looks like something a kid would come up with on Microsoft Publisher for the year 9 ICT homework. The text doesn't even look properly centred.

I wish I could find contact with his family to say hello   

Was the brother Uzo, or a different one? Not sure how many brothers he had.

It was in open play at his feet for about a minute, he picked the ball up and got a card straight away. 

The ref lost it, how can anyone watch his performance and not see it? 

Watch the game in the cold light of day and then pull Emi for gamesmanship and ignore what lille did and the ref allowed is very short sighted and basically follows Lille agenda and our media agenda against Emi.

Their players were asking for our players to booked from 5 minutes in, the ref ignored them, never booked them for it. There was countless fouls, pull backs that were just ignored.

In fairness to the ref(!), I watched it back this morning to check the circumstances of the booking. It was a goal kick that hadn't been taken, the ball was not in open play.

I've wondered that, too. Also: One of the best badges ever?

 

It's all Greek to me

What a match, what a ride. That referee though, surely that's his career over. Just watched the shootout again and the bit where he goes up to Dougie as if to tell him to take it, and Dougie has to remind him he hasn't blown his whistle yet... absolutely farcical.

Words cannot describe how much of a word removed this ref is. 

Think I hate this Santos kid more than I hate Rat
