Never forgave Hodgson for not picking Holty for the Euros in 2012, Rooney was banned for the first 2 games and Holt was the next highest scorer in the Premiership that season, 17 I think, instead he took Andy Carroll who had scored 5 and spent most of the season on the bench at Anfield..... unsurprisingly we never got out of the group.

..... yeah, but we don't....

..... and they'd make the kick off at 4am on a Monday.....

The Manchester derby doesn't exist..... as most United fans live anywhere but Manchester....

I was going to say that this result will go down in history..... but of course, they never talk about their history, do they?

..... they will, of course, claim that they can concentrate on the League now......

Truth is, we aren't great are we?.... the fact that we're still within touching distance of the play offs suggests that the others aren't great either....

That's what my wife says about me.....

I'd rather think that seeing us sort em out on TV showed the rest of the Division that they can be got at. S'funny, their form has gone off a cliff since we played them.....

I think playing a day after us and putting in so much effort to beat Preston could work in our favour Although I could be completely wrong 😕 ....

.... you've not been listening, we don't care about 1p5wich.....

The Teams involved, do they qualify on merit or bank balance? Look at Chelsea and Man U, huge financially, bang average football though. Frankly, I'd let them go, on the understanding that there's no way back if it fails...... their choice.

They aren't in freefall....yet. But 4-0 suggests that they were either outclassed or not as good as they thought. Either way, merry Christmas.....

Alternatively, we may have shown the rest of the division that they can be got at. By their own admission, they don't have much below their first 11 and if they get the sort of injuries we've had, they could be in freefall. We're only 5 points shy of the play off places despite our challenges, there are plenty of past examples that show a play off place, or even a top two finish is within reach...... not saying it's going to happen, just that it's possible..... By April, we could both be in very different positions...... can't wait.

Whereas,if we sign up on your forum, we're banned in a week, echo chamber, or what?

You'd have trouble having a conversation with him.......

I think it might have been a programme from 1978......

I think the look says, could someone find me a tracksuit that fits?

Didn't say that I approved, but when you win everything, there comes with it a level of expectation (entitlement) They continue to be proof positive, that money buys success. Pretty much what the Premiership is all about.....

Expectations aside, it's going to be difficult to match last seasons achievements....

..... I'd hate to be you when we lose.....

.... sign of the times, how many academy players are starting in the Premiership?.... money dictates that Clubs just buy in ready made talent..... the fact that we don't have any money, tells you everything you need to know about why we're not competitive....

I'm in the dark on this one.......

Ipswich..... ahahahaha.... .....remember, the last time they expanded, they went into administration and took twenty years to recover....... fingers crossed 🤞

Well done, you used the word fight to describe a Frenchman...... history tells us that's never a good mix.....
