You know what to do Mr Emery… another record to destroy. 

Percy says they’re sacking their manager so a new set of eyes and new ideas for the remainder of the season. Be interesting to see what happens with him next season.

This season is the one where he has begun to believe in what he can be.

He's being brilliantly managed.

 

You’re right. It’s the Southgate effect in motion

I’ve heard no pings on my phone or WhatsApp this morning from the in-laws side. 
 

Mind the gap you Yam Yam custard, bowlers 

However, I remain classy so far, but this will change after necking a couple of bottles of red with Easter dinner. They’re going to get it both barrels, especially her stupid brother

Need an update now Folly, past 7pm. A few bottles deep - let the ribbing commence

Mind the gap…

Easy work in a game I was fearing as they usually treat us as their cup final. Another record Emery has halted with the winless run at home against these. 

3 points on the board and one less game to play. CL is getting closer now. 

Great impact by Zaniolo and Duran. Diaby class as well! Loved it!

Love him. So good and so assured. Getting better all the time too. 

Very good performance from him - really pleased for him. Great shift. Kept Vini Jr pretty quiet when he occupied the left wing. 

Can we have this Zaniolo for the remainder of the season please?

Funny ol’ game innit. 

Pointless trying to do any predictors to the end of the season because anything can happen!

If you zoom in on the Wakins pic you can see the cut. Much better than I feared when it happened!

Man. City, Liverpool and ourselves getting to the finals of the respective competition will surely be enough?

Don't need all English SFs, there are two spots in play let's not forget. Villareal lost 4-0 to Marseille so that balances out the Brighton loss and Sevilla and Betis already gone out of europe. Don't see Barca getting past the QFs and Real Sociedad already out so basically just left to the Madrid clubs and Atletico 1-0 down to Inter.

It’s the Italian and German teams ahead of us we need to worry about. Germany currently only have 4 left. Hopefully West Ham turn it round vs Freiburg second leg.

With Ramsey likely out, what’s our team against Spurs? Gives us a major headache. 

Diaby or Zaniolo to start you’d think. Would be a huge show of faith to start Rogers though.

Pointless conversation. We are winning the UECL and getting 4th.

Boring tho… we won the European Cup in 82 so wouldn’t bother celebrating.

Was so excited when he signed due to his big rep. Such a shame the injury derailed his whole career. 

Probably one for the forgotten thread too as hadn’t given him a thought in about 5/6 years!

Maybe, just maybe this is the year. Their downward trajectory and the upward trajectory of the teams around them means they’re in for a rough ride until the end of the season you’d think. 

I really like him. A bit raw but certainly has the skill set to be a big hit for us. He will be learning on a daily basis. Was fine today - very good in the first half. 

Class first half today. Hold up play and finishing was top class. 

I don’t expect him to with Haaland being Haaland, but imagine if he won the golden boot

Well on course for 20+ leagues goals which would be absolutely incredible. 

Great to have him back surprised he did the full 90 but needs must in the end I feel. Hopefully he’s ok for the next 3 huge games. 

Massive win in the scheme of things. We got over the line - that’s the main thing. Hopefully get a positive win vs Spurs next week and we can really start to dream.

Probably his ACL. 

Please do not joke about these things

Hate Man Utd. Hate David Coote. I thought they rode their luck there. They missed a few big chances but Luton played well despite the 2 early goals and probably deserved something.

It wouldn’t take anything drastic at all. One month long injury or 3 game suspension to Martinez, Pau, mcginn, Luiz or Watkins and we’d be in real trouble. 
 

As for Man Utd, momentum is everything and they have it with them at the moment. Luton (A), Fulham (H) Man city (A) Everton (H) sheff utd (H) . They could easily win 4 out of those 5 and if they did would probably be within 4 points of us with 8/9 games to go. 

They’re just as likely to drop points in that run as they are to win them, with the away games particularly difficult and we could be double digits clear again. Better off taking it game by game as it’s impossible to predict 5/6/7 games ahead. As you say, anything could happen. What if United get a load of injuries and suspensions? They’d be in trouble too.
