It's becoming something of a chore to look forward to match day 

Big games tonight. I'll be watching the game on one television and the Rangers match on another. Not sure which commentary I'll listen to. Depends on who the pundits are. If It's Jamie Carragher commenting on the Chelsea match and Stephen Craigan on the Rangers match I may not listen to either. I find both of them annoying neds. 

Here's to a Blues double. WATP

Urgh, we can’t seem to beat Man Utd nowadays no matter how bad they are.

Fully expect us to give them points tonight. It’s obvious.

Surely you’ve a better chance of the Rangers commentary not being 100% about Liverpool?

Very true. Hopefully Craigan won't be commentating on the Rangers match. He talks a lot of sh*te.

Would love to win this one convincingly. We always seem to help out teams when they are on a bit of a downer instead of sticking the knife in. Not expecting a classic but should be able to impose ourselves tonight. 

Maguire being out probably strengthens them, I would not be surprised if this is a draw.

United have Maguire, Sancho, Cavani, Fred, AWB, Shaw and Pogba injured. Heavily reduced squad. So expecting a 3-1 loss.

We only 7 points from our remaining 6 matches. I’m assuming that means Spurs and Arsenal win every game as well - which they won’t.

I think 4 points from tonight and Everton would very good. It would leave needing one win out of our 4 remaining games. 
 

We should be beating this united team though…but we do look tired and jaded. 

expecting Rashford stretcher dive&pen, Lingard curved diagonal worldie from outside the box and DeGea best performance of the season. 

never in doubt

Certainly is Val. When we see the epic game City and Real played out, and bye to the final Liverpool were given, and we can no longer defend the trophy instead we have this game and looking to secure 3rd place. Oh joy.

Don't care if it's Thursday football or Charity FC at its peak, any day Chelsea play is a good day!!

...at least until we come out with a sh*tty result or performance 😅

 

One way or another I hope, for the entertainment form both sets of fans alone, that TT starts Lukaku.

That's all I ask from this game. At least thar would be entertaining.

Would like to see RLC in at wingback again and Reece rested.

Every metric points to us winning which naturally means we lose. 

Anyway I decided to buy a couple of beers. If we lose, I have numbed some of sh*tnerves.

do you like Reese rested every game? out of interest what game are you resting him for?

The Doc's best moment at United. If I remember correctly he had to leave soon after due to an off the field scandal.

He would have made us champions by 1980. The board(s) have done more damage to United than any manager has ever done.

Rashford won't get his head up to see where he is on the pitch. Lingard can't be bothered because he's off in a few weeks, but De Gea will be up for it.

I've got Chelsea down for a 3-1 win. I hope Ralf plays the kids. At least they will follow instructions and show some heart.

The cup final. Reports are TT won't use him at RWB for risk of him breaking down. So maybe only the cup final he will play there.

With that being my belief I prefer Trev at the back.

I recall Mourinho requesting the club buy Perisic in his second season, really wanted them to do that to see if his eye for a decent player was still there.

Don’t worry, the increasingly more legendary Canners has got our back…

That's a big risk though. We'll want him to be as sharp as possible in the final. I also feel like he hasn't quite hit the same levels since returning from injury and this constant moving him around defence and having him missing games isn't helping. He needs to gain some momentum again.

We haven't won at Old Trafford in the league for nearly 9 years ffs. Flipping Benitez was the last guy to do it. 

How's it possible we won more times at Anfield and the Etihad but can't do it when UTd are far worse

It is. Equally playing him could risk and injury.

I want to see more of RLC as RWB and see if he can develop there, we may need him to play that role a bit.

We could play James once a week at RCB to get him some game time.
