Today is the day. We may be tired, we may have played a lot of games but today is the day we make our move and scare the crap out of the others. We have been lurking all year in the corner, like a bad smell you can't get rid off and now it is time to pounce. Injuries, shminjuries, suspensions, tiredness, whatever. Today we will win, win well, overtake Arsenal, and tap Liverpool on the shoulder. Let's lock and load.

I hope you're right AJH we really need a win today following Arsenal's result yesterday and Liverpool and City playing each other.
However, I'd say today will be a close game simply down to Middlesbrough changing manager. Most of the time there is a reaction from those teams for the first game or two. Also Agnew has nothing to lose as Middlesborough have been one of the least attacking teams in the league under Karanka so chances are now that Karanka has gone he will say to the players to go the opposite way and really have a go at us.
Imagine we do go and win 4 or 5 nil today and play some fantastic football though, what happens with the line up when Pogba, Ibrahimovic, Herrera, Martial and the rest are fit or available?

Tony i have a bad feeling about today. New manager and we are going through a bad patch with form and injuries and suspensions. I hope i am wrong.

Shahram, I guess that's my point. No more fannying about, it's time to stand up and be counted.
19 Mar 2017 08:52:27
Totally agree Tony today isn't a day for excuses we need to start getting it done looking at the table we are really in a good position to move forward .
I think we will win 3-1 today.

We'll beat them up big time today guys, watch and enjoy.
19 Mar 2017 10:03:33
Got to win today.
19 Mar 2017 10:22:42
I think my head will explode if we don't win today!
{Ed025's Note - yeah but will anyone notice?.. :)

haha, yeah the brick wall I am banging it against may just and that's about it. I'm going to quit banging that drum now for my own sanity, I learnt from the LVG fiasco that being unpopular but ultimately correct carries absolutely no weight with most people. People seem to confuse loyalty to the club with having to be loyal to every player and manager even if they are harming the club.

I read somewhere on the internet and the guy suggested a Manchester City-esque formation for us.
I really like the idea of that considering they'll 100% defend deep and try to get a draw.
It was like
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Bailly Shaw
Carrick
Mkhi Mata
Rashford Rooney Lingard.

Amen to that AJH. Today is the day.
19 Mar 2017 13:07:18
Agreed. No excuses just 3 points. If we let this 1 slip then we probably don't deserve top 4. Scrappy win. Lucky win. Convincing win. Don't care today just 3 points please.
