Alderz, it was also Villa's first away defeat this season, maybe we're the ones to stop their little game.
Oops, that's Dad's Army

Nice one. Shall I post the answer?

For some reason I had it in my mind we were playing at 12.30 today, I'll have to re-arrange my day now 🤦‍♂️

Brother_Sledge

Well done and thank you Mrs Grey - I think leave it a little longer so as not to do some others out of the opportunity

With Antonio not available we have no striker on the bench, so although I like the look of him I would keep Benrahma on the bench and use him, Yarmolenko and Lanzine as impact subs if losing. Starting Benrahma seems to be putting all our eggs in one basket and I doubt he can replace Masuaku as LWB as someone has suggested.
Going for an entertaining 2-2, with Haller to score one of them.
I have put a small bet on the last 3 matches being draws and we have won them all !
So in fear of jinxing it, I will put another small bet on a draw today.

Sledge, is it outdo ?

thornburyiron

Outdo is the only answer I could see too as it’s Utd between 0-0

Brother_Sledge

Yes puddleglum well done - to explain for anyone interested
perform better than = OUTDO ,
United in O-O = O UTD O

It appears Rashford could have a shoulder problem which could limit his participation.

Sledge, can I now have a P please ?

Fernandes on the bench for them. Big plus.

Well my thoughts were for a 2-2 draw but have now changed to a 2-1 home win.

Coufal and Masuaku will be the key for us today. I hope they get the support they will need.

Brother_Sledge

Come on you Irons

Weird with the limited crowd. Looks like when the gates first open and a few go straight to their seats.

Their away kit tho 🧐 😳

Like many of us, I've a glory hunter mate who's never been north of Gloucester who supports Man Utd, so I really hope we manage a win today. Really worried, as always, about poor reffing against against a "big" club.

OMG, just seen the Man Utd strip, we're playing a team of zebras.

MrsGrey

Seeing fans singing bubbles my my heart glad. I feel a bit emotional actually.
