It has turned out to be such a strange season, that even after we playing at our best, beating teams for fun, winning at shite hart lane, keeping clean sheets more than any other teams, scoring more than anyone else – we are going to end up second! Man City just can’t lose can they?
Fulham can do us a favor, they can restrict Pep to a draw or win against them. I have zero confidence in Tottenham beating City and West Ham can’t go through them on the last day at Etihad. If something can happen, it’s today. Lets hope the gods favors us and Fulham and we get to see for once the sad face of Pep Guardiola. We have one of ours play for Fulham, Bernd Leno, who has promised that he will give his 100% to stop our competition.
There has been some happenings while I was missing. Jorginho signed the contract for another year, Mikel was full of praise for him and it basically confirms it’s time for Thomas Partey to go. I don’t believe Mikel wants to keep two 35 year olds to fight for one place when Declan Rice is a starter. If I was you Mikel, I would sell Thomas for whatever money we can get, and go into the market for a DM understudy to Rice/Jorginho.
Bayern did us dirty in the quarters. Saka was denied a clear penalty. Harry Kane got away with an elbow on Gabriel which should have been red. They weren’t so furious then about refereeing, but when it happened to them against Madrid when the offside whistle was blown a bit too early, all hell broke loose. Mr Tuchel, Karma is a bitch.
Next year’s kit has been leaked, and I am disappointed to say the least. Last season was best of Adidas, both Red and White, and the black ones were great. This season, the third kit was a standout and home one was fine too. I think I might skip the next season’s if the leaks are true.
A belated Happy Birthday to Dennis Bergkamp, you happened when I was playing cricket as 10 year old but looking back, I would have loved to see you play live. A gentlemen, a magician, red through and through.

Fabrizio reported that we are monitoring the young 18 year old Ajax centre back Jorrel Hato. He has a deal till 2028 and he will be an investment for the future. We most certainly need a third regular CB to rotate with Saliba and Gabriel without hampering our game play. White/Tomi are CB but we haven’t seen them play there, and we don’t know if they will turn out to be equally good. If it costs us 10 odd million, I would say go for it.
Sacking news have started about Pochettino. He talked about an interview, the content doesn’t really matter but if the manager comes out and talks about it, either he is fearful he will be sacked, or he knows he will. Chelsea has just moved from a billionaire russian who managed to win things to a billionaire american who can’t make things happen. Loving it.
Right, and Ten Hag just can’t stop talking about us can he?
Just to make matters even more complex not only do we need to win but we need to win by at least 2 goals as our goal difference cushion has been eroded down to only being 2 better. If City draw against the Spud’s and it goes down to goal difference we know City will whop West Ham by 5 maybe more, we need to give ourselves as little work to do against Everton as possible.
Tony
The idea of Fulham getting something was always a near impossible long shot.
Outside of today our hands are in the hands of the Spud’s – will they shake off their current run of form (2 wins 4 losses) in a bid for CL football or will they be all Spursy.
I’m living in hope but not necessarily in expectation.
Of course first things first we need Arteta to not choke.
Marc
Well put
I just hope he doesn’t see fit to make a serious change in team selection nor structure. Same team that dismantled Bournemouth/Chelsea/Spuds. We’re all experts or connoisseurs of Arsenal. We’ll know in the first 10 minutes.
Let’s keep the possibility of winning it til the last day at the very least. I think our pressing will frighten the life out of manure and they won’t be able to cope.
Line up as expected. A positive sign.
Football apps suggesting same line up with Tomi at LB Rice, party and Ode midfield and Tross keeping the LW starting birth.
Should be a ein
Fuck 3-1. We’re going to beat them 8 fucking 2 and avenge that defeat.
Love your PMA KP we need the GD as Marc said.
Biggest game of the season for us as we have a say in the outcome.👀
Here we go then let’s have at em. 😎
We are better all over the pitch today and on form
Manure’s bench packed with unknown players. Good.
quite the dire looking lineup for United, which should make things unusually easy for us at Old Trafford…the only potential roadblock is if we underestimate what this match might mean to those on the cusp and/or in the shop window…typically that wouldn’t be enough to get a totally unsettled lineup over the line against what should be a frightfully better side, but you should never count your chickens…just can’t see anything but a one-sided scoreline in our favour, regardless of the history between us…to me it feels like the United side, much like the Hammers before them, have intentionally laid an egg or two so as to ensure a managerial change come the off-season…for United, this might have been sparked by some rumours that made the rounds, prior to United’s shocking 4-0 defeat, about the possibility of ten Hag returning due to the potential financial and organizational ramifications of his ousting
Why didn’t Havertz shoot?
KP
I was at Lands End listening to the 8-2 loss in the car with my son. My wife and daughter were walking near the edge – we almost ran past them and jumped.
Tony-because even he knows he’s Havertz
Havertz should have given both Ode and Saka a better option there
We’re getting bullied at times which has stunted our game
Tony – Havertz needs half a dozen touches before he is comfortable about making a shot. Meanwhile the United defenders have taken their phones out of their pockets and ordered their after game meal.
Rice needs to keep more in midfield we’re being overrun
Rice looks nervy because he’s playing an unnatural position up top.
We’re leaving too many spaces in midfield
I know I’ve said it before, but I’m really concerned about MA’s plans for Marts moving forward…I wouldn’t be shocked if we sold him off to the highest bidder, thus proving that finally have the capacity to get a handsome return on one of our assets, then bought another wide-side forward and not a Striker in the summer…this is why I was so perturbed by all the nonsenses surrounding the notion of Havertz being the answer up top, along side a now much more adventurous Rice
“we” finally have
Hav’s assist and Tross the boss making it look easy.
Now let’s go to work🙏
Alpha Tross. Great buildup.
Muito obrigado Casemiro! What the fuck was he doing?
Casemiro has become a real albatross in this United side…not only did he leave Havertz onside, due to his utter laziness, he likewise provided no defensive coverage on the pass to Tross
United amble forward when they don’t have the ball and don’t press. Really lazy team.
I’d like to see Rice link up with Tross more and Tomi linking up on the left to take the right side dominant tactic. It’s too easy to defend when you know where the ball is going
ten Hag has become a caricature of his former self since arriving here…it’s clear that the promises made to him were quickly scuttled by upper management when they made moves that have hampered his ability to shape the team in his preferred image…he’s likewise had his balls clipped on multiple occasions when the powers that be sided with the players when they were clearly in the wrong…I would suspect that he will land somewhere where the lights aren’t quite so bright and he will resurrect his career enough to get another prime time gig
Not sure that’s in any tackling textbooks but Partey did well there.
