Are you surprised by how good he is?

And its been a crazy 18 months for the club.

Also great to see you back for a bit Q. I await your reply in six months time?

Hoping to stick around this time, got locked out of my account because I didn't know my password.

He's been unbelievable, hope Villa stay up because I do think if they go down a big club will come in for him. John McGinn was playing very well before he got hurt as well. I think there's a lot of talent in that club if they can stick around for a bit.

If we go down he will definitely be sold but a lot of our supporters think that he will go this summer regardless and I don't see it myself.

I'm gonna watch the other semi final in a bit. I hope MU go through as I think Villa have a better chance of beating them. I actually think MU might surprise a few tonight and it could go to penalties.

Looking at our starting 11 I predict we get absolutely battered. We're so poor without Rashford. Almost all of our points this year have come from being so dangerous on the counter attack, but he's our best player at leading them.

We're starting Shaw, Williams, and AWB, so presumably one is playing centrally? City will pick us apart with crosses.

Bruno signing >>>>

This season is a wash and I'm guessing we lose Pogba in the summer but he should fill the void relatively well. Ideally, we go into next season with an actual manager. If we do end up stuck playing Ole ball for another year I think he can still do well in the system.

You don't need Pogba. He is not a serious footballer.

If you are serious about competing then you buy Harry Kane.

While a better striker wouldn't hurt, and Harry Kane would improve any team in the country, I think our midfield is still the biggest issue. Was hard watching the game versus Wolves. Juan Mata has no legs left and Pereira couldn't make it into Norwich's starting XI. Bruno was forced to play deep to recover the ball but also had to be the one looking to make runs forward because the other two just couldn't do it. Man looked totally gassed by the 80th minute.

I would love to see us still bring in someone in the realm of a Grealish or Maddison this summer. Let Bruno sit behind them, Pogba can go **** himself at that point. I still believe in a front 3 of Rashford, Martial, and Greenwood. Martial is just very lazy on the pitch and I feel he needs two players alongside with high energy and pace to compensate.

Anyway, all this to say we ended up signing Ighalo for now lmao.

Spurs >>>

Can't believe how big the gap is.

When its confirmed the celebrations on Merseyside will show how plastic MC are in comparison.

West Ham could genuinely go down this season. Games remaining against Chelsea, Liverpool. Spurs, Wolves, both Manchester sides and Arsenal (lol)

Also huge bottom of the table scraps with Norwich, Villa, and Watford.

Imagine championship football being played at the London Stadium next year.
