Utd-Saints the early KO.

From a BFC perspective, wins for Brighton, City, Leeds & Palace would be most welcome in the Prem.

And in the Champ victories for Bournemouth, Forest & QPR wouldn't go amiss.

Brighton, City, Palace and an Everton v Leeds draw for me. Keeps at least 7 teams fighting against relegation.

Everton v Leeds draw for me too.

Man U leading 1-0 HT. A fast start from them deserving of an earlyish goal but Saints came back into the game well as the half progressed. United need to pick the pace back up ot Saints will get the equaliser I think.
Eriksen to be introduced to the Brentford crawd before their KO at 15.00 will be a welcome site though he's still got some time to go to reach match fitness.
Difficult things to say in the normal course of events but- I'm wanting Leeds to beat Everton then BHA to win too.

Utd yet again in danger of paying the price for not killing the game off, this is becoming a real habit with them now, Saints been impressive again though.

What's Pogba complaining about!
It was a bloody foul!

He's a very unlikeable character unfortunately. He doesn't help himself in this respect.

Good footballer.
But behaves like a spoilt brat,

All over.
Should have won, Saints.

Daniel Agyei lining up for Crewe at Accy this afternoon. He moved on from Oxford in January.

Not exactly been a great last week or so for Utd has it, dumped out of the cup, and dropping points to Burnley and Southampton.

£89 million was it? He should be a good footballer. Running his contract down I think. Did you see Barnes give him an elbow nudge on Tuesday?

Ash wouldn't be bothered with a flake like Pogba.

Not just Pogba , all the Utd players continually surrounding the ref when a decision goes against them. Fernandes the biggest agitator, used to like him but not anymore
Utd play like 11 strangers who just met before the game

Scholes saying similar post match.
He was holding back though. Love to hear what he really thinks.

Everton winning, Leeds not had a touch in the first ten mins

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:12 pm

I was talking to three Manu fans over here after the Burnley game. They all said Maguire, Pogba and surprisingly Fernandez were awful and a waste of money.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:13 pm

Leeds have been shocking so far. Now 1 down and should have been 2 and Dallas off injured

Bang on Utd aren't a team, and this is what sets City & Liverpool apart, they play as cohesive teams who all know what their roles are, Utd don't seem to have a clue who's supposed to be doing what, and Maguire yet again made to look slow and clumsy.

If Poch does take the OT reins in the summer I wish him lots of luck because he's going to need plenty of fortune to turn them into a force again.

no way Everton will be catch-able, far too much quality

Everton aren’t getting relegated.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:28 pm

Need a Palace win today. Brentford are the ones I’m hoping get sucked back in. We’ve 5 games in hand on them as things stand, win 2 of the 5 and we’d be 3 points behind if they lose today

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:28 pm

Keaneo scores for Everton.

Solanke misses pen for Bournemouth.

Everton being gifted 3 points so far today

Good points, and we've still to play them. However it's finding the 2 wins that worries me.

Sunderland losing again, they've totally collapsed in recent weeks.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:38 pm

All the teams that are in danger of relegation are going out for wins.
Attacking football to score goals.

It doesn't always work but gives you a chance.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:41 pm

Leeds could easily be 3 or 4 down already

Isn't that what we did in the second half against Man U?

Watford losing.
Maupay just scored before half time for Brighton

It’s certainly not what Leeds are doing lol

Leeds could quite easily get dragged in to the battle. No doubt their goal difference won’t help them if it comes down to that.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:59 pm

2-0 Cheltenham at HT, I suppose the problem for them is how long they'll be able to keep hold of Michael Duff, because he will attract interest if he continues in this vein.

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:59 pm

Said for a few months now, Brentford are the team we need to watch. They’ll probably go and win today but having just watched their first 45 minutes, Palace are far the better team.
