The Premiership 2017-2018 Thread

Lukaku has got a bonk on the head, think he'll be stretchered off...doesn't look too good. Yet another injury to add to the list.

[harv]

Bollocks, should have had a penalty there but the ref wasn't in the best position to see it unfortunately 

[harv]

0-0 at half-time and United have been the better of the two sides in the first half but we're not getting enough of our goal attempts on target.

[harv]

Another draw, 0-0 final score and United booed off the pitch at half-time and full time and deservedly so. That's us down to third place now.

Only 3 points ahead of Liverpool too lol

Is Jose bored yet?  Can't wait for his implosion,  looks like it's already starting

[harv]

It's only a matter of time lol

What I'd REALLY like to see is the board taking a gamble and give the job to either Cantona or Giggsy next. At least we'd see some decent football.

At least you can have the old injury excuse back now Harv 

[harv]

Not really, we've had just over half of the injuries we've had over the last three seasons...although I was right about the side luckiest with injuries winning the Premiership. It's City so far this year, Chelsea last year and Leicester the year before that. I can't see City throwing the league away now.

So if Huddersfield had zero injuries all season, they would be favourites to win the league?  There's a gulf in quality and consistency between city and United, that's the difference - even if city had more injuries, they would still be top, they've been fantastic at times this season with or without their best players.

I'm sure United will still get top 4, people forget how shit arsenal have been this season and spurs always bottle it.  However, not even putting up a title challenge is not good enough when you've spent as much as United have the past 2 seasons

Huddersfield with zero injuries would probably end up in the top half of the table. There's always one of the top 3 sides in the injury table getting relegated every season, it's why I predicted that Newcastle would go down this season because they've had injury problems almost as bad as us for the last 3 seasons. This season they've had a bit better luck so we might see them stay up.

United have had an average of 8 players injured EVERY WEEK for the last three seasons and we've now got that average down to 5 I think. And during those last three seasons we won 3 trophies. Any other club with those sort of injuries would end up being mid-table and without a trophy.

A decent win for United this evening, 2-0 with both goals being absolute crackers from Martial and Lingard.

[harv]

Oops, arse lost against Bournemouth earlier.

And the red scouse gits are beating Citeh 1-0 at Anfield. I can't see them beating them but arse getting beat makes it a good day whatever happens lol

[harv]

Bloody hell, Citeh lost!!! If we win tomorrow that's the gap down to 12 points and sides have dropped 12 point leads and lost the title a few times. Newcastle, us and arse have all done it.

Big game tomorrow and it's a must-win game!

Man United haven’t got the consistency in them to close the gap to city, be realistic Harv

Asking Harv to be realistic is like asking Trump to welcome Mexicans.
