Tonight's football thread

[Danbert Nocurry]

Apart from your lack of actual experience of doing that... you trust in a manager with a very unproven record.. you've also been believing for 5 years that Man U are finished.. and in that time we've won trophy after trophy..

Also re your ageing barb about manUs squad..

Jones and Smalling, Evans and De Gea were immense yesterday, and they can form our spine for the next 10-15 years. You are reliant on an increasingly decrepant centre half and have no first choice keeper... and your players are unsettled because they know pelligrini will likely be sacked..

Iain as much as you want me to throw all my toys out of the pram I wont and believe there is strong hope for us for the following reasons:

1. There is no run away leader, all teams have dropped points

2. We are only 6 points off the top with 27 games to play, 6 points would have us top actually.

3. The bookies still have us as favourites, for good reason. We are the best equipped team to win the league this year, we have the squad

4. We have the mental experience to get over the line

5. We have already had a bad run of injuries to key personnel. Probability dictates this will not continue and that other teams less equipped than us will suffer the same fate.

Therefore it is not doom and gloom Iain, however, mild concern that we need to address our away form. We are a team that is learning to play a new way and we are well on our way to that goal. Pelligrini will sort it out away from home, we simply cannot keep dominating without scoring, probability dictates this.

Tick tock.
