Obviously, if Utd drop any points, they'll have to give you a guard of honour.
They'll get one I'm sure. They'll have earned it as up to now they've been the best team by far. No complaints.

Pep was talking about this the other day.

His view is no matter how good a very young prospect is from the academy is, it a huge step up to be suddenly playing against world class stars costing millions, so unless they are exceptional they prefer to loan them out to (say) a championship club for a couple of seasons to learn their trade playing week in week out.

You can only learn so much in a classroom and training pitch.

Obviously Phil Foden is an exception, he is ready now to slot straight in if needed.

I wonder if 100 points will be possible this season? Really tall order but it's feasible. 96 points would be a PL record which I think you will get.

I think it will be tricky if all cup runs extend all the way but if anyone can, Pep can smile

I've a feeling if we go back a little on this thread we'll see a few dissenters re keeping Sergio ? Anyhow sorry for stirring up, but what a player he is. Oh I also played triple captain on him in FF today smile

Fairly easy stroll last night, Basel didn't really offer much, but we definitely need to tighten up at the back with the sloppy defending, better teams would have punished us. Pep was not happy at all.

Was their keeper drunk ? Seriously the first three goals ...
