I'm out tonight, so can't watch it. Arrangement was made before I realised we were playing Utd. Oh well.
Hoping I'm wrong but don't feel comfortable,everyone including utd fans don't give utd much of a hope ,even the bookies have them at 11/2 to win,we're 2/5
I'm on holiday in Egypt and got chatting to a manure supporter today so we're watching the game on a big screen tonight.
We'll do em tonight
13 goals last three games, different team with odegaard in it.
Egypt is awesome Lefty. We went to Cyprus for our honeymoon and whilst there booked a three day excursion to Egypt to see the pyramids, the Sphynx, and the Cairo museum. Fantastic trip. Lovely people. Even the hawkers out at the pyramids!
Last season we were pretty blessed on the injury front (bar Timber) but it’s a fucking massacre this time round. Barley a game goes by now where someone doesn’t go down.
Has to be serious concerns that Calafiori is a massive sick note - doesn’t seem to be able to string together 2/3 games on the trot before getting crocked.
Full back has just been one issue after another this season
Even though he's been out of action for fuckin' ages I might have been tempted to play Tierney before Wankchenko At least Tierney doesn't keep going AWOL....

I can deal with Kiwior but Zinfuckingchenko, fucking hell. This is exactly the type of game where we need pace and decisiveness and he gives you backwards passing, sideways running and complete indecision. With him and Partey in the same team, we'll need one of the coaching staff dedicated to making sure the pair of them don't wander off into the stands after about 15 minutes.
