Fuck Forest. City are going g to finish fifth, probably on goal difference!!!

It won't happen of course but what a fantastic end to the season if we win the Europa and City finish 6th.

Fuck fuck fuck. Weeks ago I agreed on a date for a free meal out with work colleagues after we won an incentive. There are only 4 of us. The date is 21st of May. I have this moment realised the momentous clash. What to do what to do!

Reading lots of stuff about how United manage to keep winning trophies even through the bad times. I think that is looking back at the 70's and 80's through pretty rose coloured glasses to be honest. I know we picked up the odd FA cup but trophies were thin on the ground.

Great result. You have to wonder how different our season would have been if Amad had stayed fit.

Hojland works hard gets little service and i like him but he just can't hold the ball a basic requirement for a centre forward at pretty much any level.

Amad can win this but i wouldn't take garnacho off to be fair.

I like Amorim but his body language is terrible. He oozes stress. Need some chill his players panic enough.

Not getting much from this referee

Big night. Should be stress free. Who thinks it will be!!!!!!

Anyone ever got a mild electric shock off the business end of a phone charger cable.

Well my goat curry with coconut rice and peas was pretty good for a first attempt. Coconut rice not as fluffy as I would have liked but another ten minutes in the oven might well have fixed that with a bit of stirring up! The curry was ace!!

Ahem. Cantona left Leeds for Manchester United for £1 million on 26 November 1992.

Hope dorgu is just being kept safe!!!

This story about united using a buy back and then selling on to Real Madrid really makes no sense. If he's good enough for Real he's good enough for us and why would we sell at a knock down price after spending £15m to buy him back. Bizarre

Labour has about 3 years to prevent a second catastrophe engulfing this country. A Trumpian style government brought to us by the people who wrecked the country with Brexit is on the cards if the country continues to be so divided into the have lots and have nots.

Also 45% turnout compared to nearly 60 in the last general election. But labour needs to make some changes that positively effect the lives of ordinary people and that means changing the tax thresholds and higher rates for high earners. Putting more money in average and below average earners.

BBC creaming themselves about Reform and the end of the two party system. It's a midterm local election with a low turnout. We have been here before with the Lib Dems People are disappointed that nothing much seems to have changed. Labour need to make sure that feeling changes. Long way to go.

Now we know why i am not a football manager. Amazing performance so far and taken pretty much every chance that has come our way.

Our bench tonight either screams that there could a great future tound the corner or that our squad is paper thin and injury prone. Or maybe all the above.

Not inspired by the team. Not sure how Casemiro will cope with the intensity at which Bilbao play. I guess we don't have any fully 90 minute match fit alternatives.

Has there been a mass awakening in coma wards. People all over social media complaining as though the last 13 years under reckless Rishi Barefaced liar Boris and Liz the lettuce never happened.

Match day nerves. Have found some Murphy's for sale for the first time in years. My 'lucky' drink. Let's hope it's a good sign.

It's time to look at the off side rule again. The goal ruled out for Inter last night was ridiculous, defenders are massively advantaged by this rule. Maybe we can look at trying an offside line somewhere between the halfway line and penalty area. Something similar was tried in the old Watney cup

Trying to upgrade the built in satnav in my 5 year old car. Want to download an up to date map and add or activate traffic info. Happy to pay. Can't do it as i don't own a windows or apple operating system laptop or PC. Abarth dealers can't do it. Can't find an auto electrician who will do it.

Travelling to Italy in a couple of weeks from Manchester on a UK passport. Not been to Europe since brexit do I need any documentation or to pay a fee at the border?

Well now we know what sort of monster looks forward to attending a funeral.

I am on a forced visit to the in-laws today. Not a great way to spend match day but I need credit in the bank for semi finals and hopefully more!

Really pleased for Maguire but Mainoo and Amass along with other young players demonstrated why they will be the way forward.

Wow

We don't actually have a forward on the pitch. It's just amazing. Dalot was awful for their 3rd btw.

What a mess.

Tonight's team is exactly what I expected. Tbh I would have avoided having ugarte and Casemiro together in midfield. However they all have my support tonight come on you reds

I don't really get the trans hysteria. I am 67, in my entire life i have only, to the best of my knowledge, come into contact with 1 trans man and possibly 1 trans girl. It's hardly a daily issue. Just needs a sense of proportion and some common sense.

Looking at the training squad I think i would be tempted to play Fernandes deeper alongside Ugarte and play Mainoo or Mount further forward. Amass looked good v Newcastle but I suspect Dorgu and Dalot will start. Squad looks so thin it's unbelievable even allowing for so many injuries.

In a desperate attempt to avoid appearing to be my age, I am having laser hair removal, amongst other 'treatments' I would once have scorned. Today was to have been my 1st treatment, but I have used tan towels(!) to maintain my holiday tan so no laser allowed. I must now exfoliate. WTAF am I doing!

I thought I liked Katy Perry and her music. Turns out it's just the music. Bit sad really.

So i pay my energy company a monthly amount. Over the year my account has always been in credit. Hundreds of pounds in the summer months. Now there is a possibility I may go into the red at the end of the month and they want more. Surely I should be in the red half the time not always in the black.

Heaton between the sticks on Thursday then???
