    Even if he wasn't in the match day squad you'd have him fanboyed up to man of the match regardless.

    I don't mind Paulp Ogba having shit games (and I'm not sure what he is meant to do today when everyone is ambling about) because even when he is he still tries to make things happen. The others tend to fall to pieces as soon as somebody gets into them.

    Cardiff’s defending for the goal was pub level shit. No one anywhere near him.

    It'd be nice if we could keep Milner away from Leeds for another season.

    Dunno why you’d even give Salah the chance to go down there.

    City should still win the title but it’ll be even more funny if Liverpool win out.

    The criticism that gets thrown at him is just so ridiculous. His stats are one of if not the best for a midfielder in the league (despite Utd being pretty turgid for large parts of the season). Anyone who actually watches out games can see he's by far our best outfield player in almost every game. The only chances we had against Barcelona were directly the result of excellent play/passes from him.

    People just want to hate him because he's the perfect combination of not a 'proper football manTM', expensive and plays for Man Utd. The expectation seems to be that he just win games by himself when everyone else is playing like shit and if he doesn't he's rubbish; he's not Messi or Ronaldo and just because he cost a lot of money doesn't mean he should be expected to be, especially as he's not a forward.

    I guarantee if he went to Barcelona next season and played in their side he'd be considered the best midfielder in the world within a few months, or there abouts.

    Up the going down easy reds!

    Just need Ole to steer that special needs bus in the right direction and get a win Wednesday, although I can’t see it. For me, Tottenham was the game I could see them dropping points. Just have to see what happens.

    Not making top 4 is going to fuck us so hard this summer. Really need some top quality players signed and not being in the Champions League makes us so much less attractive.

    Here's to Ashley Young starting at right back on the first day of next season.

    It makes zero difference as we chuck stupid money at anyone Ed fancies. How you still don't understand how united operate at this stage is baffling.

    Yeah, Chelsea managed fine. There will be exceptions, but generally If you pay the most, the players will come.

    True, let's hope he fancies some good but attainable players for once.

    I don't think 'being able to offer Champions' League Football' is an issue these days. If you are competing against Barcelona and Madrid you usually lose out; if you are up against Bayern, Citypool, PSG or Juventus it comes down to money or some other shit out of your control; and is anyone really going to sign for Tottenham or Dortmund because they are in it that year and United aren't?

    Liverpool and City both winning out is the best outcome. It means that one game against City cost Liverpool the title, 100 points and an unbeaten season which is just . But I’ll take any outcome as long as City win it.

    They need a whole new defence, really, where is that coming from? How many 'good, attainable' defenders are out there who would sate the supporters, let alone a set of them who could play together to top 3 level over a season?

    I think if they could get whoever the best non-Liverpool centre-back around is (Ahmed Johnson at Napoli seems like the favoured option) it would be alright for the first choice defence. Victor Lindelof is good, and the full-backs would be fine if the middle could defend properly. You will need some other people in to replace who you would like to see get the white Fiat Uno, but they don't all have to be fifty million quid each. The BIG MONEY will go on a shit-hot right-sided attacker and a couple of new midfielders.

    He hasn't grown the brain he needed, but I would keep him over the other spastics. Has Axel Tuanzebe done anything of note at [The] Villa? He can't be any worse than Phil Jones.

    United need a centre back to partner Lindelof and two fullbacks to replace or compete with Shaw and Dalot. I think Dalot will finish up higher up the pitch anyway.

    We need 2 centre mids to replace Matic, Fred and Herrera. A winger to replace Martial and a forward to replace Lukaku.

    Dalot will either go full Gareth Bale or full Micah Richards. There's no inbetween.

    I was thinking earlier that his versatility might end up killing him, so he needs a run at right-back. As for Martial and Lukaku, can you really see them both going in the summer? I think Lukaku is the more likely (probably to Italy), but fuck knows who replaces him.

    Considering Lukaku doesn't really offer much it's probably not important if we do replace him.Give Greenwood a go if we have to.

    Martial will likely stay and continue to make no impact.

    Manchester United are a delightful football club and one I have always admired. I believe a club of such prestige should be in the Champions League and so a win against Man City would be good for football and OGS deserves it.

    10 consecutive league wins. What's obscene is we have that in our locker and are only fifth.

    Whoever finishes third should really be making at least the final. Boro, Bristol and Derby are all trying their hardest to throw it away.

    Yep. The deflation and confidence shown after the Wigan defeat signaled that.

    The Villa - West Brom semi's are going to be off the charts. Thinking of coming back for them.

    Yeah, that's a tasty semi final. To have West Brom in the semis and then like Jimmy says, if we can both get through, a Villa Leeds final is pretty decent.
