The amount of draws and last minute Steve Bruce winning headers wouldn't cut the mustard these days.

Not winning the champions league is not failure. You need luck to win it, everything going your way. Like not missing a penalty against Spurs or VAR not showing all the angles of a handball goal scored against you. The clubs you have to beat are amazing. There's only one club can win it every year....

Literally collected kits as a kid. so had loads. The ones I always fancied but never got round to buying was most of Hollands and Croatias. They had some cracking shirts.

I hate the idea of Liverpool winning the league. BUT if we beat City this weekend it will most certainly be the deciding factor. Especially as Liverpool have only lost one all season - against City.

This, along with a clear reluctance to buy and play players from outside the british and irish isles does the club no favours at all.

We are often seen as small time and small minded. This will only fuel that.

Eddie would struggle without the luxury of his Latvian backer.He can buy in talent despite have a div2 income from gate receipts. Burnley are a big club that Eddie struggled to cope with.

Not sure whether that stacks up, though I am prepared for you to put me right. From what I am aware they got a 250 year lease at "nominal" rent for a stadium worth about £110 million* - paid for by you and me (amongst others) along with Manchester council - and have invested about £60 mil...

No you don't. I hope all clubs that spend beyond their means crash and burn. Let's hope in a few years time the Etihad has tumbleweed blowing through the stands.

The Bolton News are reporting the EFL forwarded Bolton money to allow the game to go ahead. You can understand them wanting to get all fixtures played but they shouldn't be propping clubs up.

He may have meant he puts it over first time as opposed to turning back like so many wide players do, especially when it's not their 'stronger foot'.

You might not concede directly from the corner but presumably you can’t measure the fact that when we do clear it, it’s only partially clear and the opposition can keep the pressure on by recycling the loose ball.

Not saying we could afford him permanently or even on loan. But Liverpool fans are apparently very underwhelmed with Keita. Who they courted for a couple of seasons before shelling out 50m. Exactly the style we should be targeting. Quick, physical, good on the ball and gets a share of goals (usually).

Parkinson and McMinn would be more than apt. If of course they were happy with that.

Two of our most important players in modern history. Both of which played a huge part in the same game, the one which took us back into the top two leagues.
