Well that has thrown the pigeons amongst the cats.

You're not the only rival fan hoping for that too, same here

Even if we do, it won’t alter the destination of the title this year.

Some miss that

[bstb3]

Comfortable so far.

[57Ford]

Well, we’ve done well to get to the halfway mark in the lead. Plenty of spirit even if we have been very defensively minded.
Anyway, apparently City have a magnificent Norwegian striker so I expect they’ll bring him on for the second half. We could be in trouble if they do.

You have guaranteed a second half hat trick saying that.

I don’t know which was more incredible. The goal or Haaland’s miss.

Very much riding our luck, need to have the ball for more than 3 seconds the second half because this isn’t sustainable surely.

I know I was erring on the side of caution with the last bit.
It’s going to be a bloody long second half if we try to solely defend. We’ve surely got to carry on with the breakaways to keep them from completely laying siege to us.

[LF5335]

Happy to admit that there was no way I saw us being in this position at half time.

18 shots faced but only 3 on target.

Compared to our 2 / 1

Got our work cut out for the next 45

[J6542]

It’s going to be a long second half, straight back to the keeper and a hoof up field from the kick off.

[bstb3]

Doh, probably been coming in fairness

[LF5335]

We’ve seen the best and the worst of Rashford in this match. Scores a blinder, falls over for no reason and City go up the other end and score.

[type-r]

Oh well. It was fun whilst it lasted.

[Frimley111R]

Rashford: great goal and then he falls over and we concede.

He gives with one hand and....

[Cie]

Madness. Completely stupid to throw himself down when he didn’t need to.

Can’t say they don’t deserve it but still stupid.
