    If Puel gets the sack on the back of this game he can have no complaints. His ceiling is coaching teams to be functional and organised, when you get into situations like 1-0 down in this sort of cup tie, or 0-0 at home to lower PL teams, he has no answers. No good scratching out wins over Chelsea/City if you can only do that based on being reactive.

    He’s doing fine. After Shakespeare and Ranieri has us flirting with relegation and desperately trying to recreate the title winning style with poorer and poorer results we needed stability. He has us firmly midtable whilst lowering the age of the squad and moving away from 15/16 bit by bit.

    Problem is the conservatism and it’s just so, bloodless? Cold? Fans have never warmed to him despite the decent results and days like this sum it up. Too conservative with selection and doesn’t seem to get that the fans really really want a cup run. We got to quarter finals in both last year and he still made changes for those games.

    Good to see Santi Solari running the good ship Real Madrid onto the rocks.

    Who's the next blazer in line? Raul?

    Iniesta has done a nice old-fashioned blacking up photo on twitter (or rather his family members have).

    There's obviously a good manager in there somewhere, looking back when he got us to eighth was a bit of a miracle but still something was missing. He got us to a cup final as well.

    An excellent little story on Second Captains today where David Dein, mid-negotiations for various Arsenal players to Chelsea with Abramovich, is asked whether he'll let Thierry Henry go to Chelsea for 50 million. At which point, Dein says '50 million? Why don't you just buy the whole club?' to which Roman replies, "I tried, UBS say is not for sale." and David Dein goes into a rage that he's now the third biggest show in town because some idiot in Switzerland told Abramovich they weren't available.

    It's in this book apparently: https://www.amazon.com/Club-English-.../dp/1328506452

    United ought to be spunking money into Jorge Mendes's pockets to take Neves off Wolves in the summer. Lovely little player.

    Wolves will make about fifty million quid on Neves. There's absolutely no chance he's there next season. He's immaculate.

    I'd send fifty million of our finest pounds for Neves. Reminds me of Xabi Alonso in some ways.

    FA Cup means nothing unfortunately. I spent the last 10 minutes hoping we didn't score so we wouldn't have to go to a replay.

    That year 6 lad at centre back looked good, one for the future for sure.
    Hopefully it’s back to normal for the trip to Brighton.

    Have the League Cup semis always been two-legged? Why the fuck is it like that? I don't want to have to play Chelsea twice, especially since we're gonna be pressured to play our first team so that we can show we can compete in a cup with the "big boys"

    That was worth it simply for Alan Shearer's seething shrugs.

    Mignolet is so shit. 30 yards out, not even in the corner and he was nowhere near it.

    I saw Mike Phelan referring to himself in the third person the other day, so it's hard to see how anyone stops United with that sort of confidence brimming around.

    Dream backroom team:

    Mike Phelan
    Sammy Lee
    that red faced bloke who stands by the dugout at Chelsea
    Rui Faria
    Terry Connor

    You could put up Annika Rice in front of those and she'd win the league.

    John Ruddy made a monster save from the Shaqiri free kick. He got finger tips to it. Nevas only scores wonder goals. I would have exspected the goalkepper to save it though. Liverpool were awful. Milner was the only player who gave a fuck.

    We were so awful last night and the only real silver lining is that it could potentially be a blessing in disguise.

    Funnily enough I watched it with the Mrs who's a big Klopp fan and she pointed out he doesn't seem as bothered as usual, almost like he threw it the game.

    Probably isn't that far off.

    Tottenham have accepted a bid of £9m for Mousa Dembele from China. He is out of contract in the summer.

    Bayern have made a fourth bid of £35m for Callum Hudson-Odoi. I think they are being out-shined by Dortmund with Sancho and they are trying tp catchup

    Celtic have loaned Timothy Weah from PSG

    Pepe has gone back to Porto after his contract with Besiktas was terminated

    Chelsea letting 2023’s Balon d’or winner leave is absolutely mental.

    £100m bid for Icardi to be ruined as well apparently

    £35m matches the asking price by sounds of it. He’s wanting to leave according to Sky anyway so not much you can do. Fucking Willain.

    I assume this is about the Blackpool owners? We were there New Year's Day and there were people outside the ground and in the pubs handing out flyers explaining their predicament. In the pubs the Blackpool fans (those handing out flyers and even some going to the game) were happy (almost insistent) to chat and explain what was going on and why most fans are boycotting the games.

    In the weeks leading up to the game quite a few Blackpool fans signed up to the Sunderland forum asking us not to buy anything inside the ground, or basically line their chairman's pockets any more. This is a regular thing, but more so that day as there were 8000 Sunderland fans.

    We'd do an absolutely splendid job on Icardi. Give it six months and that confident I've-shagged-your-missus strut will be replaced by a Morata-esque haunted gloom as he ticks past fifteen games without a goal.
