Fans superb.

Quite - we aim to emulate these Pocket Super-Clubs, and in doing so, occupy a tier sitting just below the Champions League elite of Barca, Real Madrid, PSG, Munich et al; feeding them our developed players, but also scrapping it out for Cups, Europa places and the occasional Champs League berth too.

Well I hope the players are proud of themselves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't read such papers- clearly you do since you seem to know about their content! The only print paper I subscribe and read is The Economist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not the Mail or Express' words, old chap, but straight from Juncker himself:

A "hefty bill" to pay for EU officials' pensions and private health into the future. When will the penny drop with these insightless, grey mediocrities? This is a typical example of why people voted to get out. No more us being mugs paying to feather-nest jobsworth dullard Eurocrats.

The white strip is going to look sensational and our boys will win in it.

Hopefully Leicester after the Vardy crushing Virgil's ankle

Leeds - proper club and fans Newcastle - ditto Sheff Weds - big old sleeping giant should be in the prem Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are the equivalent Ferrari F1 Team in football, and as such, there's much to dislike: Arrogant fans (the plastics) Arrogant managers over the years - Docherty, Fergie, Van Gaal, and now Jose to name a few. Arrogant club persona Arrogant players - Keane, Keane and Keane! Expect and get helping hands form referees and the system in general - e.g. Fergie time, many dodgy pens, allowed to miss the FA Cup to promote pathetic, grandiose flop the Club World Cup. Red Won loads Massive sense of entitlement in club and fans. Think they are bigger and more special than everyone else and even the game itself sometimes; think the game relies on their presence and so will die if they disappeared. Their years in the doldrums after the Fergie era has dulled my dislike though - but I am not feeling sorry for them yet!

Good stuff. On to Wembley.

Cracks roughly filled with polyfilla

We have played some beautiful stuff under Puel, for frustratingly fleeting periods so far this season. It has been the one thing that has kept a flicker of faith in him for me, despite my trenchant criticism of much of what we have seen. Lets pray these fleeting purple patches coalesce and become the norm.

Jack don't take ****!

Let's hope we see this out professionally, with concentration till the end and a clean sheet.

Excellent

Good.

Ample evidence there that those contemplating tattoos should be assessed by a psychiatrist beforehand.

I do seem to remember a fawning documentary a couple of years ago, and countless newspaper eulogies during the glory days of Poch and Koeman. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, in recent windows it seems we have a policy of purchasing injury prone attackers and defenders.

I am no Spanish scholar but my rudimentary 40 year old O level seems to tell me it might be Tha-K-eres?

Incisive.

Black Box Modified:

Agree. Strike force needs a total overhaul.

In 2015 he was off sick for 17 weeks. 5 of those weeks with "muscle fatigue". 1x2 wks and 1x3wks. Suspicious.
