Where's the patronising social media accounts, owners with no interest in the game or legacy and mercenary players taking everything they can? I can see why it doesn't catch on! |

We are on TV on Sunday teatime, playing Salford in second round FA Cup. The class of 92 seems to guarantee that Salford are on TV nearly as much as Man Ure, and i guess if we beat Salford on Sunday the ideal would be a game against City's not so noisy neighbours in Round 3 for the cash boost it would give.... Its a while since we played at Old Trafford, that wasnt a bad game....

We played at Old Trafford a few times back in the day but against them of course. Away in 82 in the League cup....just remember bottles of piss raining down on us. Knocked them out of the cup in 84 but that was at home. 1985 FA cup at their place...January. An 8 hour train trip home with no heating in sub zero temps after being battered by GMP 1989 FA cup - drew at our place in the fifth round , another money spinner at their place. Winner played Forest so a sell out. Frightening that game, we were crushed in the pens behind fences, massively overcrowded with Man U fans pulling us up to the seated area behind....a few months before Hillsborough...not good. Now its just a tourist attraction |

The Toffees' fans were being a bunch of plonkers on Wednesday. What's with that nonsense?
Couple of weird stats this week: 1) West Ham and Brighton managed a draw for the sixth time in a row. 2) Only the top four teams have a positive goal difference. |

The top 3 are already pulling away from the rest. Straight shoot out between them for the title now and should be an interesting one given all 3 teams have very different styles of play.
Spurs would be 4th if they win their game in hand. How that's possible given how awful we've mostly been this season and the upheaval we've had during it I don't know. Doesn't speak much for the rest of the league! You'd expect to see Man Utd move up again now under Rangnick especially given the players they have. They should on paper be certain of that top 4 spot but West Ham, Arsenal and Spurs may have something to say there too. Newcastle doomed already or can they survive? Newcastle fans won't agree but there'd be something about seeing the newly crowned richest club in the world instantly get relegated! |

Not aimed at you particularly but I do find it ironic that it's often the fans of clubs who signed-up to the ESL - where there was no relegation possible - who are now the most keen to see Newcastle get relegated. I don't make that observation as a Newcastle fan either....

Or in some cases it might be because they've decided the Saudi regime is a step too far and therefore they want to see anything associated with it fail. In many respects an understandable point of view but I wonder how many of those same people are nevertheless happy to buy products from companies in which the Saudis have also invested significantly? |

Indeed. Are we talking the football clubs or works, reckon I might be busy sorting hotel rooms too!
But yes, extra money, dont get too embarassed, and use the money to strengthen the squad ready for the promotion push, could be the difference.... Now lets hope I can get a ticket! |
