It's all well and good trying to ignore but sometimes it's just incessant.

Plus you have just won 6 on the run. fk that.

Would be interesting to do a "Hunger Games" type thing on PH footie forums. Each week everyone votes on "biggest idiot" and they get taken out. Actually maybe best for me not to suggest this,

How are Spurs getting on, does anyone know?

Yes, they won 2-1, thanks for asking.

Wow, yeah. Really gave them what for eh?

Yep, more importantly it pissed on your chips.

You're not kidding, not sure whether conceding against Chelsea with 30 seconds to go or Fulham conceding against you with 10 seconds to go was worse! You definitely got out of jail with that one.

I think Chelsea....just.

Optimism in respect of being open? Or there being some business at the place? Tough one.

Was amazed at this stat that's just been posted on Reddit. Has it really been 6 years since a Utd player scored a hattrick in the PL?

Incredible, isn't it. To be fair in the 6 or so years since SAF left we have barely managed to score 3 in a game, let alone by the same player. Pogba almost got it against Cardiff (hit the post when he already had 2) but it's been a while.

Surprised by that statistic too! Although it's perhaps a little less surprising when you consider the manager style you've mostly had since then. But I thought you got a few high score wins early on last season, before you started doing what we do now and get wins while not playing the most free flowing football?

Yes, feel free. Got anyone particular in mind?

[anonymous-user]

RvP was our last "proper" striker as well, probably more of a correlation there than the team performances (we did have a few high scoring ones under JM)

I am not at all surprised. We have played horribly defensive football for the past few years and have not had anything like a world class striker.

[jammy-git]

Apparently within those 6 years you've only scored 3 hattricks - RVP, Rooney and Zlatan - I believe all against Europa League opposition.

[anniesdad]

What a front 3 that would have made!

[jammy-git]

Not sure RVP would have worked well with Zlatan? Too similar in how they play.

[GTO-3R]

Zlatan knows what he’s on about....

Thanks for posting. He looks like the kind of guy who never runs out of bantz.

Neymar picked up an ankle injury in a match tonight, could be a doubt for our match against PSG in three weeks.
