I want Utd to win on Wednesday not least to shut up Martin Keown.

It’s funny how much uproar there was over savage and Rio and their commentary during the Europa league, yet known is the most biased pundit out there, and his bitterness to anything United is clearly evident yet nobody says anything. Jordan is the only one who points it’s out quite regularly to keowns annoyance 🤣.

Commiserations to the MUFC women today. Put up a good fight, and have done well over the season. They should be proud of their efforts and we should be proud of them. Disappointing that ratcliffe wasn't there to see them but 🤷♂️ at this point. Hopefully we can support them going into next season with transfers and whatever else!

Is Wednesday Utd's biggest game in 14 years?
They've been abysmal all season and ridden their luck in this competition, but then again Spurs have been really poor ss well.
Whichever team wins it will be a bit of a travesty.
I just hope Utds luck can hold one last time .

It will be an embarrassment for either of them to be in a league of ‘champions’ next season but we don’t make the rules.
4
18 May 2025 15:17:06
Spenno hardly a league of champions
Everyone knows the rules before the start they can’t start moaning now.

18 May 2025 18:08:41
Very confused by this nonsense around the winner getting CL. It’s happened for 10 years, don’t believe the nonsense from so called experts, everyone knows the rules before they start and it will be far from a travesty if we win it.

18 May 2025 18:27:21
Why would it be embarrassing? Bone fide qualification. Winning something to qualify is better than finishing 5th or even a distant second.
A disastrous league campaign but despite a crap start we have been the best team in the comp.
Spurs have done well also and whoever wins will fully deserve their cl spot.
Great rewards come with it. So I can't understand anyone's thinking that we would be better off not in it.

If he wins this trophy and cracks on, no one will remember the league finish in a couple of years.

Next season's performance in the Champions League will determine whether it's an embarrassment or not for either team. As for this season, as poor as United and Spurs have been domestically, they have seen off the best of the rest of Europe's qualifiers, including Bilbao, a qualifier for next year's Champions League.

It is crap that so many teams get into the “Champions’ League by “back door”. It has diminished the competition immensely. Cup winners from all European leagues should go into the cup winners cup in an old school way and Champions into the Champions league. Reduce the number of games overall.
But if that the rules then so be it. Whilst the doors are open then take advantage where you can. Why wouldn’t you?
Doesn't mean it’s ideal though.

19 May 2025 07:59:13
Keefy,
Let’s allow pass backs as well and go back to 2 subs on the bench. The game has evolved, European completions have evolved, your suggestion just wouldn’t work in this day and age. Our top teams are power houses because of their forays into Europe, nobody is agreeing to hardly any teams being there again. Maybe teams could win the CL beating Club Brugge in the final again, them were the days.

That's fine, GDS, but the Champions League should be renamed then. Bit of a misnomer to say the least.

'Top Three or Four League' just doesn't have the same ring to it though.

It’s all about money…. But saying that some of the best games this season have been in the champs league, the one we are in and the one Chelsea are in are total crap, so many poor poor teams, you really only have to look at the final to see that, ok one poor team can get to a final, but two shows it’s bit of a joke.
Like people that refer to Rasmus goal last year in Europe all against shockingly bad teams that would struggle to stay in EPL.

19 May 2025 10:24:15
Think I said if that's the rules then so be it.
Doesn’t mean it’s have to like it.
The fact that two teams in 16th and 17th place are in the “Champions’ League is farcical.
It’s losing its prestige in my very humble and old aged opinion and adds to the number of Ganges that so many complain about.
Evolved? I am not so sure.

We didn't win the league the year before we won it last 2 times. Maybe we should scratch them from the record books as we were not champions.
9 of the 32 in el will play cl next season so can't be that bad.
Psg only scraped through the league phase.

Carabao cup won by Newcastle, their first trophy in decades
Fa cup won by palace, their first ever trophy.
Let's hope spurs don't make it 3 on Wednesday 🤣.

Dean Henderson doing okay atm in the cup final. Having a great first half.
3
17 May 2025 18:32:36
He is. But he probably should have seen red.
3
17 May 2025 18:51:13
Not a red for me.
1
17 May 2025 19:12:05
Not a red, think the Vicario situation early in the season shows that unless it is a clear goal scoring opportunity then a yellow is the appropriate punishment.
2
17 May 2025 20:06:04
Red? Not for me.

17 May 2025 21:34:26
Liverpool fan here. A lot has been said about some of the awful signings you lads of had, but you have let some great players go as well. Henderson and McTominay come to mind.
God even as a liverpool fan I always was a fan of McTom.

17 May 2025 22:59:52
Great game today for Henderson, but he is abit inconsistent and has a mistake in him.

17 May 2025 23:28:38
And Onana doesn’t!
2
18 May 2025 06:39:17
Every goalkeeper has mistakes in them, never was a big Henderson fan but he put in a great performance yesterday and deserved man of the match.

Well done palace. But that's a red all day.

BR -
Sold Academy: Kovar, Henderson, Fernandez, Garner, Gomes, McTominay, Greenwood, Rashford* all better than what we have bought.
Hopefully we will recoup some values back via sell on clauses with Greenwood and Fernandez, and the sale of Rashford.
1
18 May 2025 11:20:30
Onana don’t have a mistake in him, he got multiple mistakes in him!
Not sure Gomes or Garner any better than what we have, they were nowhere near good enough when here or still not today.
1
19 May 2025 07:49:08
I get you but would say they’re better than Eriksen, Collyer and Casemiro in EPL games.

Your really mentioning Garner and Gomes in same breath as Casermiro… or even Eriksen for that matter!

Think we all accept that RB won't be sacked at the end of our season. He has only been with us 6months and his squad players are very poor. We have lost 18 games this season, worst ever. Teams have been relegated with more point than we have this season. While l will back our manager and hope he can get us back l do have concerns not just around him but the new board running the football side. RB has his system, but we hear he hasn't the players to implement it. He is reportedly a very good tactical astute manager, but l have some questions as I'm sure lots of us fans have too. RB has refused to alter his system despite all the defeats, this seems stubborn not astute to me, as a manager you do what ever it takes to win games. So he has worked with the players for 6 months I really don't see the changes. My big worry is if we lose next week, it reduces our financial position it attracts lesser players without Champions League football. So if we can only get 2-3 players and struggle to move on others, what will change next season? Will RB give the same Press conference answers, will he adapt his system to try and get best out of the players, l don't see it. Preseason tours are normally full of lots of you lads who won't play come the start of the season, we then have all the travelling how is he instilling the new style, it hasn't happened in the last 6 months. I am really worried for our club, we won't get 5-6 players in we won't get all the rubbish out and RB won't change his system. It's a huge game Wednesday and a huge summer ahead, l know it will take a few windows to fix, but we need to see improvements. Rant over.

But there have been improvements, if you can't see them, I suggest not watching for a period a d then come back, you will see the change.
I do that, as watching every game is not always productive to my state of mind.
If we don't win on Wednesday, they won't just stand still, players that are destined to be sold or leave will still go, it is then how we invest.
To be honest, a season with no European football perversely might be better for us in the long run, as there will be more time to work with what you have, and the youth.
To be clear, I want nothing more than to beat Spurs, but if they don't I will see the positives from that situation, take a few weeks off from proceedings and then enjoy the usually manic transfer window and new season with very high expectations. Yes I will again put money on united winning the league!

17 May 2025 23:02:51
Fewest ever wins, points and goals, whilst incurring most defeats kind of takes away from those "improvements".
But like most, I'll judge him at Christmas after he has had a chance to get his own players.
0
18 May 2025 00:11:31
I really want us to beat Spurs. A trophy is a trophy and normally gives players confidence but I can also see the real benefit of no midweek European football allowing the manager to really get his ideas across on the training ground. Additionally RA says our players aren't physically strong enough so having one less competition should also be beneficial.
1
18 May 2025 00:59:25
This is the problem, we are expecting instant results.
Judge by Christmas? How about judge after all the past errors have been corrected?
If we continue to chop and change, we will not go forward, we will continue to go backwards.
4
18 May 2025 06:57:56
He has been very vocal about the players not fitting his style or culture. So yes, if he gets the "right" players, I would expect to see instant improvements.
If we get to Christmas in the same form we've been in the last 6 months, we will be in a relegation battle, and that's unacceptable from any manager.

18 May 2025 09:41:19
Amorims big issue is we don’t score goals, we have an ineffective front line, his formation doesn’t help, having 5 defenders with two wingbacks who barely get across the halfway line.
Nobody has got into double figures for the league and Rashford is our fourth highest scorer despite not playing since December.
Fix that front line, get wing backs who overlap and put in crosses and we might see some progress, but that involves spending money which because of PSR we don’t really have enough to cover the deficiencies in one window.
1
18 May 2025 11:21:38
Sell Rashford Antony, Garnacho, Onana and we have money and operate easily within PSR.
2
17 May 2025 15:15:56
Just seen the stat that we haven't won back to back games in the league all season. Jesus that's woeful. The other is that we had 30 points in December and now in may we have 39, that one can't be right surely because that means we've only managed 9 points in 5 months. Whatever the truth it really is awful.

We have won 16 from January until now.
16 points in 16 games I think.

Cheers angel I Duno where they pulled that stat from. Knew we were poor but 9 points in 5 months would have been 🤯.
0
17 May 2025 20:07:26
Whereas 16 points in 5 months is title winning form.

We have steadily got worse at picking up points as the months have gone on, 2 since April.
