I still think PG Tips or Tetley missed a trick by not sponsoring it...

Tobes looks 'glad' to be home...

Kane has clearly been photoshopped... he's not there, that's the expression from the post-match interview he gave after Middlesbro' ...thy've just cut'n'pasted it!!

...and I bet he's wearing the new 'Pinstripe' kit under his Tracksuit!
 
a strong squad has gone over to get the job done.Also we are in the last 32 of a cup what i class as we could win and would get us in the champions league next season.Not going to win the league and maybe not get a top 4 finish so go balls deep to win silverwear and get us in the big compertition next year
 
I genuinely hope we take tomorrow seriously... it's only 'Sky' who try to brainwash us that the CL is the be-all-and-end-all of Football... Clubs with a proud history in this competition (albeit a competition barely recognisable from the one we're taking part in nowadays) should know better than to thumb their noses at any chance of Silverware!!

True.

I get many of the other comments on this thread and I understand them.

If I thought we had the squsd depth and quality I might say the same.

I manage my expectations and I also have my own priority list.

First is the league, then the FA Cup, followed by the league Cup abd then whichever European competition we are in.

For now I see that as realistic.

The PL has gone unless Chelsea mess up. Cups, its always down to a little luck. We are good enough to win either, depending all the factors that go your way?

And mate I don't think we are good enough to win the Europa. I just do not think we have a Cup side and certainly not in a two-legged affair.

Indeed - though there's probably an element of Poch bringing everyone so that they can train together.

Definitely think we'll see Trippier, Winks, and Janssen starting this one. Maybe N'Koudou.

I may be wrong (that's happened before) but I think we stand more chance of winning the Europa League this year than anything else.

Given that 5 of the top 6 are still left in the FA Cup, I think you might be right.
If United drop out of the Europa League, then we're the favourites on paper.

Since Sky lost the CL, it's all about the mega £££s Premier League.

Europa League this season is a genuine chance for us to win. Forget our previous disinterested performances. This is about the future and giving it a proper go. Win a trophy and it will set us on our way.

I agree, and Lloris in particular has made the right noises in this regard.

Problem is, we've heard this sort of rhetoric before and then it's followed up with a bafflingly weak squad being fielded in a difficult Europa League match (as with Dortmund).
Let's see what tomorrow's lineup is like before trusting the 'we need to give it our all in this competition' line.
