DaveAV1 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 So we can’t celebrate achieving our goal for the season after being almost dead and buried. I think SAF wouldn’t be knocking many glasses of bubbly down to celebrate Man U finishing 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Given where we were just a few weeks ago, absolutely nothing wrong with the celebrations. If we had been comfortable all season it'd be a different matter. Context is key. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I must admit to fearing the worst after the Everton game. It felt like a huge missed opportunity. But all credit to the squad and management, we were unlucky not to score against Sheffield United too, once the likes of Grealish and McGinn became fully fit there was a different flow. Douglas Luiz stepped up massively when needed. Trez scored 3 crucial goals too. Neither can be overstated in their importance. To overturn a 7 point gap with that squad with those injuries and lack of experience is truly something. Yes, there was lucky. Yes, it wasn’t ran the way we always wanted, but this was about surviving and learning. And many times, the lessons were harsh, Smith and others will come back wiser and stronger. With more hunger and a desire to improve. It was imperative to survive this season, and we did. I don’t have much else to add at this point. I’m just very happy for the team, management team, and all associated with this fine club. We deserve to stay in this league and will hopefully for years to come with the owners we have.

MachoFantastico Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Roy Keane is an sad little man, his life must be bloody miserable. It's like he's got 24/7 depression. Couldn't stand watching him as a player and can't stand to hear his so called "expert" opinions. Miserable git. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple rule in business, sport, life. 51 minutes ago, theboyangel said: United and Liverpool are in a completely different place to us as a team and club. this was a huge achievement - lighten up and enjoy it I am very happy we’ve survived great considering where we were. However what I want to hear is we should never be in this position again, it’s about establishing ourselves in the top half of the division now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
