Don't suppose City will be relishing the draw either but I'll still be shocked if we knock them out with the form they're in. Just have to hope we have a good day and they have a bad day. Our defence remains solid and our attack is clinical.

Bit bored at home so thought I'd write a wish list in the style of FM for the summer! GK - Most probably think we should try and cash in on Pickford so if we do sell him who do we get? Olsen on a permanent maybe? Romero? Silva? Not sure. RB - Maybe my heart is ruling my head a little here but...

My choice for best worst result probably goes to when Silva (Martinez MKII) led us to a 5-2 defeat at Liverpool in 2019. It resulted in his sack and Big Dunc taking over and eventually (and still amazingly in my opinion) Ancelotti. We've had our bumps in the road since then but we have never had...

Great choices - all very pivotal moments in our history

Happy with the result. Performance could've been better but United had just smashed a team for 9 so they would've been chock full of confidence. It's nice just to be able to say we are up at the top end of the table competing with and getting results against teams up there. We haven't really...

I'm hoping that Ancelotti et al are planning a big summer where we pursue quality over quantity. Last year we targeted defenders and midfielders and we got in some terrific players. This year we need a GK, RB, RW and CF (to help/compete with DCL) All of top end quality. If we can get in those 4...

I'm quite happy with the signing. He's not a world beater, but he knows his way round the Premier League - none of that "bedding in" scenario to navigate with an overseas player. He ticks every box we need - fast, multiple position, back up. Perfect! Some on here want 25 players with Messi...

Just for a bit of perspective on where we are this season - Plenty saying how well Southampton are doing as a club, how well Villa are doing as a club. And how cack we are doing as a club. Remember, we are above both in the league. They would rather be where we are! Now I'm not saying we are...

We as a club are in danger of becoming irrelevant. And pointless. A nothing club. Would I rather we were a club winning things - of course! Would I rather we were a club see-sawing from relegation to promotion - of course not! But where we are as a club is no man's land. When the pressure is...

Agree with this. Davies isn't half as bad as some make out. As much as we all would like 20 odd world class players in our squad it isn't going to happen. Even clubs like Madrid, Barca, Juve and Munich don't have that. He is a decent squad player who we can always rely on to do his best when...

They have some decent young forwards at Salzburg who i wouldn't mind us trying to bring in. Chan is one, Koita another but my personal choice would be Patson Daka. Not sure what costs we're talking though.

Willian Jose going to Wolves on loan. I guess to plug the gap left by Jimenez. He might have been ok as an option for DCL.

Yeh, when I say the Kean deal didn't work out I don't mean from a financial point of view I mean from a footballing point of view. I was ecstatic when we bought him, I thought he was going to be the next big thing after MBappe (he may still be) but it just hasn't happened for him here and he is...

Makes sense really if we get Zirkzee. Back up for DCL. Great prospects. Very much like the Kean deal, which unfortunately didn't work out, but no reason why we shouldn't try again! I'm happy if it goes through.

That's the same reason I wanted Bolasie!
