Vast improvement compared to the last 2 games I saw you play
As you say Mr Ellroy Man Utd are abysmal. Rashford looks like a player at the end of his career just seeing his time out

I watched the game and didn't even realise that he was on the pitch

Neither did Rashford...

You ok Ray? Not seen you round these parts for a while. Hope you’re keeping well.

I'm champion, how's yourself?
Just getting over the shock of my club not becoming the next Man City
Not that you would, but if you'd looked on RTG 2 weeks ago when some dafties had us as champions of Europe in 5 years just because some bullstter swore blind the deal with the yanks was done, you'd be pissing your pants now

I’m good thanks chap.

Did see that it had fallen through, actually suspect it was real, unlike some of ours!

What's the full story on that one? I've been listening to Radio Newcastle and it seemed to be all about reports of new companies being set up, deal done just paperwork to file, nailed on just taking time to do the checks, etc. It did sound a lot more real than our ones and the presenters all seemed to be talking as if it was "when" and not "if"!

Potential to object to the development at the Strawberry as a result of the CFB selling the land. Takes 5 minutes to register and sign.

If it gets the go ahead there’s no chance of developing the ground further and the iconic skyline is likely to be lost forever.

Well not an unexpected result. Moving on.

[TX1]

Do not think their keeper had to do a single save.
Carol seems lethargic and cannot see the point of playing him, his only hope is receiving crosses and those are not happening either.

[ellroy]

Wasn’t expecting that result if I’m honest, score line flatters them by all accounts. Looking forward to watching it. Was ensconced at the 4 year olds Halloween party so beers may also be had, and fully, fully deserved.

[ray von]

Good win for you, could've/should've had 5 or 6, and I honestly wish you had.
Almiron needs to score, though to be fair he never seems to let his head drop, diving little ste as well.

Couldn't be all complimentary could it

[ellroy]

Would expect nothing less my friend, nothing less! 😂

[fathomfive]

Yay, mid-table mediocrity

[yajeed]

We won’t be there for long, don’t worry.

It’s bizarre, if our forwards actually begin to score we could do well. I’m not entirely sure how though - we have zero plan when deeper in our own half, and the hoof and hope tactic just leads to horrible possession figures.

I’m more hopeful we’ll actually stay up though.

[ellroy]

Only caught this on Match of the Day, as I was away at RoR this weekend.

Who doesn’t love a diving header?

Do wish the lads up front would get one, I think a few may then come along, as their creating chances for sure.

Oh, yes and the sale rumours start up again, are we close to a transfer window by any chance?

[fathomfive]

Hola amigos!

Yes, silly season is almost upon us.

I'm off to invest in sombreros and guacamole.

[ellroy]

Grab me a Sol if you’re at the bar?

Nice interview with Philippe Albert. Great guy.
