Fulham could do us a huge solid (again) today.
-
Such an odd player. Personified Lockdown Football weirdness.
-
Wow he looks dreadful these days.
-
Tbh the only guaranteed wins there for United are Burnley and Sheffield United at home. Other than that they could easily slip up in many of the other games.
-
1. Viktoria Plzen 2. PAOK 3. Olympiacos 4. Brugge 5. Lille 6. Fenerbahce 7. Fiorentina

This thread was somehow on page 2. Just had to say what a magnificent job he's done for us. He's not even been here for 18 months and in that time he's taken us from relegation battlers to genuine top 4 contenders and into our first major European quarter final in a quarter of a century, all while dealing with one of the worst injury crises in recent memory.
-
Liverpool are probably quite likely to reach the final based on that draw which is good for us.
-
Watkins has been in such fine form that him withdrawing from a couple of meaningless England games due to injury shouldn't jeopardise his chances of making the Euros but because it's Southgate, it probably would. Just a ridiculous situation really.
-
People have said a few times that we were wrong to keep him and sell Archer but at the end of the day, Duran offers us something Archer (and indeed everybody else in the squad) doesn't. He's a complete wildcard which can be very useful to have in certain situations.
-
Literally every single time he steps on the pitch
-
Job done. Just praying the injuries aren't too serious.
-
I still hate the new Adidas logo.
-
I would genuinely rather get thrashed 5-0 and play shit than do what Luton did tonight.
-
Honestly Luton fans must feel like shit. They came back from 2-0 down at half-time against us at home only to be denied by a late winner, then go to Bournemouth and lose after being 3-0 up themselves at half-time. They're finished.
-
Because Villa are uniquely bad and awful, it seems. Honestly defies logic.
-
Yes but in many cases I don't think it'll be too difficult. The only one I'd be worried about is Coutinho.
-
If we'd had had a normal injury season then yeah, I think we'd be outside bets for the title right now, and top 4 would be a certainty.
-
I do feel like we can cut the wage bill significantly this summer simply by offloading the deadwood and some good but not essential first teamers (e.g. Digne and Carlos). I mean, Dendoncker, Olsen, Carlos, Digne and Coutinho alone must be on a combined £400k+ a week surely?
-
I despise what that injury has robbed us of this season.
-
Our injuries are heavily tilted towards the defensive area of the pitch. Archer, Philogene and Aaron Ramsey being around still would not have actually helped that much at all, and we'd be worse off under FFP to boot.

Sorry but this does very much seem to be a reaction to yesterday.
-
Some really crazy rumours floating around on the internets. She's gone on strike because of abuse, she's in a coma etc
-
BIG ANGE MATE
-
And look at our injuries today, not to mention being down to 10 men for much of the game?

I mean, pretty sure many in the media were dismissing us as even top 4 contenders after we lost 5-1 to Newcastle on the opening day so not sure we're proving them right.
