Manchester United

[RedReet]

Nah, they won't challenge and you can quote me on that. They are going through a purple patch with so much falling into place for them. There has been some shocking goalkeeping, defending and decisions go their way. They're riding a wave but once things stop falling into place for them, they'll go back to their old ways. Remember they've got two dodgy CBs and poor left back and inconsistent keeper. I'm still not sure about Martial and Pogba when the going gets tough. Watch this space

Absolutely, they'll be nowhere near us and City next year.

United have definitely benefited massively from Covid. Since the return, there are a few teams with little to play for, so no motivation and most of those teams that do, aren't used to playing every couple of days and are forced to rotate. United have been fortunate to pick their best team every week with no injuries, so you would expect them to beat Villa, Brighton, Bournemouth and Norwich FFS. Sheffield United was a decent result on paper, but that was without 2 of their starting CB's and they had just been tanked 3-0 by Newcastle. Only decent team they played was Spurs and they couldn't beat them.

I'll not even mention the refereeing favours.

This run reminds me of the record United had which earned Ole a full time contract. Beat a few **** teams and get a lucky win against PSG, surprise, surprise another dodgy penalty and suddenly they are 'back'.

Since March 10, Manchester United have dropped 57 points. Liverpool have dropped 2.

That was tweeted at the end of January, not long before Covid struck. Anybody who thinks one player is going to make that much difference is deluding themselves.

Im sure DBF has been spunking his grand childrens inheritance on holidays and new wheels for VAR officials.
LFC winning the league has pushed the drunken fanatic to the brink of insanity and brown envelope manufacturers are moving to a three shift system to cope with the extra demand.

Any rumours/whispers/leaks on the potential verdict?

The verdict is United are going to get a champ league place as every other team around them are all over the shop. More annoying is I think they will win the Europa league too.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that Bruno Fernandes will take both penalties against Southampton tonight

[Buzzo]

And win them

[BigChief]

Bruno looked knackered chasing the ball everywhere. Welcome to England.

The commentator on BBC said something along the lines of 'contact less than initially appeared'

[McDermotX]

Yis would be doing well to listen to this man. Done it all in the game he has

Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has taken aim at a couple of rivals at Liverpool, with Virgil van Dijk and James Milner branded “arrogant” by the Brazilian.

The South American was speaking with Desimpedidos in his homeland when asked to pick out Premier League foes that he considers a little too big for their boots

He referred to Van Dijk and Milner as “marrento's”, which translates from Portuguese as arrogant or cocky.

The 24-year-old said: “I don't really like that guy, Milner.

“And to tell you the truth, I don't like that guy, the defender, Van Dijk. [He is] marrento, man. Even the way he plays is kind of arrogant.”

It is not the first time since wrapping up a long-awaited Premier League crown that certain figures on Merseyside have been accused of arrogance.

Then it all made sense in the final sentence.......its not just a simple Liverpool/ManU thing, he's just a ****in eejit.

The United academy graduate also picked out Paris Saint-Germain defenders Thiago Silva and Marquinhos as players he holds in the highest regard, as well as Real Madrid’s talismanic skipper Sergio Ramos.

Let this for the kids out there.

Pardon

[Buzzo]

This could be a great game today.

I think Leicester are going to do it.
