Shouldn't he be on 50k by now? ;)

We'll be interested to see if changing the seat covers at Old Trafford will help, considering that our home form was rubbish even before the pandemic I'm not so connfident.
 
Going to be between PSG and City for the CL I think this year. Chelsea as an outside shout. RM just look so pedestrian. The way they played last night was not how RM fans will have wanted their team to play in a CL quarter final even with a 2 goal lead. Almost no ambition and little quality.

If City win the quad this year it will be unbearable.

I'd never thought I would be Cheering Chelsea on.

That just can't happen, it would just be dumb

I knew it wouldn't happen last year, there's little point in celebrating something nearly a year on and it would just feel wrong after the season they've had.

Should be a good reminder that you can't stand still in this sport and how quickly new champions come around. City have a great chance at a quadruple and if that happens it eclipses anything Liverpool have done recently.

It would be hard to argue that City aren't good value for any trophy they win this year. From what I have seen, the only team in Europe who could have any argument for being better are Bayern. They would be in the Semi-final if they didn't have injuries to some of their most important players.

In the history books mainly but what Klopp has done at Liverpool far outweighs what Pep has done at City with a blank cheque book. Even if City win everything.

City journey so far has been a group stage of Marseille, Porto and Olympiacos. Last 16 against Monchengladbach and a quarter final again Dortmund.

Just to compare against 1999. We had a group Barcelona, Bayern, Bronby. Inter and Juventus in the quarter and semi finals.

The only real difficult game City are going to have is the Semi coming up.

Disappointed by Liverpool tonight, mainly because they have the quality to win a tie like that!

They didn't show it though, Salah shooting straight at the keeper and Wijnaldum putting it over the bar when he had half the net to aim for to name a few chances that went begging.

It's endemic, got as much chance of getting rid of it as the flu.

Yep, we have to just keep vaccinating every year and once enough people have the vaccine to trigger herd immunity we just have to get on with it.

I just hope we can get that done before we trigger another wave because lets be honest, people have done what they always do post lockdown and gone nuts. 0-100 straight away.

We won't even be champions by the time that comes around and if we finish outside of the top 4 no one's going to want to be celebrating anything.

It's a tough one because it's their first ever PL title, feels like it should be celebrated somehow but I get it's a bit weird. It's kind of like at work there was supposed to be a milestone celebration in March 2020, it got postponed with a statement it would definitely be rescheduled when permitted, even for people involved in the project who had subsequently left. But it's over a year later now, maybe the project isn't viewed as such a roaring success any more, it would be a bit awkward to run it now.

40 seconds before Savage manages to mention that his son is in the United academy. Did the same last week.

Surprised to see Pogcaptain tonight!

I think if my son managed that, I would too!

Great goal by Cavani from the completely unintentional header assist. The commentators and people saying it was intentional, give over! :D
