United got the toughest draw mate.:ange-arms:
People laugh at this, but we just pummeled them 3-0 at their place in a match that saw us put up the highest xG in the league this season. Thats a rough draw for them.

Saints also got a tough draw going to Liverpool, but they get to play them 3 weeks before to get ready for it. They won’t be intimidated.

Palace goes on the road, but they are playing a team that just likes to sit back and foul a lot so pretty good chance for that match to go Pens.
 
I’m in Arizona chaps! Managed to get away from mates to sneak into a supermarket wifi!

What a relief! Up the fucking Spurs

Home draw against the scum of scum. Must smash this bunch of cunts again. Badly. I mean really badly. Already got long disowned family back on their perch after their demolition of relegation fodder at home.
There are no excuses for this one Ange.
Do not let these fuckers or this draw ruin the rest of my year. I’ve had enough shit to deal with. And I’ve handled it well Lord. But not this. Don’t do it to me.
 
Well done to win it! But to be fair, City gave shit all about this match and the competition in general, playing their kids and with Pep, Haaland and Akanji laughing right before the whistle. And we had to work our ass off to get the result, unfortunately sacrificing VDV in the process (and what about Cuti and Dom who both looked sore?). A win is a win and that is why we are here to support. But still not convinced about the suicide tactics.

He'd be absolutely fine if he was playing as a left back. But as he is playing midfield and fullback and he's not TWO people he looks shit. It's obvious stuff and I bet another manager wouldn't ask him to. Not even prime Kyle Walker could do the hybrid inverted fullback thing and defend properly it's impossible.
What on earth? Do you even watch football? Loads of teams invert fullbacks these days - not least Gvardiol at City or even Rico Lewis.

Utterly fucking bizarre take. Inverted fullbacks are everywhere in football. Christ almighty...

Udogie was a fantastic defender last year - he's just having to play too much football and is having second year blues. It's not the role that's the problem
 
I would say that we played and defeated Guardiola's Man City. They did not give us an easy game and I felt that the match we played was as exacting and demanding as any that we've played against them in the Premier League.

We earned that win.
Maybe it wasn't their best XI but the XI they put out was better than at least the bottom half of the prem, and prob better than the top 12-14 teams either. It was not an easy win whatsoever.
 
That'll definitely be the narrative, which unfortunately a lot of our fans will swallow up too.

It wasn't exactly our strongest XI either, we brought Ben Davies on ffs. Should be happy with that win, just can't understand anybody who isn't.
Ben played well in his role- won a couple key challenges, hit the deck hard a few times, passed very crisply! Hes much better a CB than people give him credit for, and especially as a backup lefty- we are VERY fortunate to have him, and especially so not being a dramatic whiner, and an actual team player and mature human being. I was very glad to see still has it today. Consummate professional, no doubt.
