Re: 15,000 renewals on season tickets!
If I've read the announcement post right that's 15000 early bird renewals, not total season tickets, so theres still more to add to that. Anyone know how this compares to last season? Its a great effort after what's been a terrible season on the pitch. We've renewed ours and looking forward to bext ...

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?

Even Alison and Ederson have made bad mistakes, the difference is they playing in sides that are scoring ...

Re: Heaton replacing Hart moment again?
Instead of replicating the Heaton replaces Hart moment, I'd have been looking to bring Heaton back from Man U to replace both Trafford and Muric, even if only a loan. He'd still be better keeper now than either Trafford or Muric, but our current management doesn't know what a good keeper is.

They are the best club side in the world and you can't afford to make mistakes or switch off ike we did. Positives for me were Fofana, who I thought looked sharp and skilful, Berge also a plus. We played well in patches and probably deserved a goal. And we didn't get hammered for a change.
