Yep, the Uniteds have let us down with their piss poor showing, not even dropping into the Europa League the useless pricks.  It will probably make them both stronger in the PL in the second half of the season too.  A double whammy.  Even so, always good to see a Utd lose.

Yes, now that they've missed out on the Europa League they'll both be able to concentrate on a big push for *checks form and table* the Europa League.

I will only accept participation in the Champions League if we are reigning champions. Standards.

We’ll be top at Christmas if we beat Sheffield United at home and Liverpool and Arsenal draw.

TOP OF THE LEAGUE ? !
« Reply #218 on: December 17, 2023, 06:28:30 PM »
I know we have loads of threads but on Friday night we can go
TOP OF THE LEAGUE.

Even if it’s only for a few hours, we should bask in this.
The last decade (longer) has been one of us going backwards and downwards.

In a little over 12 months, Unai Emery and our owners have us on a massive upwards trajectory.

As I said, it may only be for a few hours, but we are on the cusp of something very, very special.


And I am loving it.

Feels like 1980 to me ......Do you want to bet against us??

Unai is the first one since 1980 who might, just might, be good enough to inherit the mantle of Sir Ron.

Yeh…while I don’t believe in jinxes this is dangerous and not needed right now.
