The fact is that this United team is the worst it’s been in almost thirty years .

We don’t have a single world class player , some may say DeGea is , but not on tonight’s showing . And as for that preening prick Pogba , what a cunt he is . It was no coincidence that we beat PSG away without him . World class ? He should be ashamed of himself as he has the talent to be , as we saw at the World Cup , but for United he is a complete waste of space .

Watching the Juventus / Ajax game with interest at the moment, because if we can overcome Tottenham tomorrow evening we get the winners of that game in the semi final. I have had a season ticket at Man City for over 25 years now so have seen us in some very difficult times, but the game tomorrow will be right up there with one of the most important games I have ever been to, and I have got to admit that I am quite nervous about it.

OGS is starting to look a little bewildered. He’s been found out already.

He benefited from new manager bounce and from the fact that he wasn’t Mourinho but that’s over and he’s out of his depth.

Hopefully he will stay as manager for years to come!

I’m very impressed by Ajax, it gives me hope that a team made up of largely home grown players can hold their own against the rich clubs.

I’d love them to win it, football dominated by the rich clubs in the premier league and the champions league is pretty fucking boring.

After knocking out Real Madrid they have now dumped out Juventus and Ronaldo and reached the CL semi finals for first time since 1997!

The dark horse team in this competition, Ajax, may give Man City some real problems over 2 legs.

Having said that...

Everyone in here and fans watching around the World thought in that first 10mins we were going to do it! Talk about a feckin emotional rollercoaster. Me and my mates were shouting, saying if we don't convert chances Barca will wake up! And what happened...

Ajax is the new Utd. So special congrats to them on taking out Juventus/Ronaldo.

Morning Adam...Do you think that maybe Man Utd were to quick to make Ole Gunnar Solskjær full time manager after his initial success as the players seem to have gone back to their old ways under Mourinho and were extremely lucky to win against West Ham in the PL last weekend. I'm still fuming and in a rage that the referee in that match was so biased towards Utd in that game and think he should be suspended and investigated by the FA....

We were extremely lucky against West Ham and Watford, but I don't think it was a mistake to make Ole manager. He is doing what he can with what he inherited. Bare in mind nobody is safe in the top 4 yet... with Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal and Utd still in with a good chance.

We all know Utd were never going to win CL in our current form, but if we did that would have been a miracle. History making record breaking football, but unfortunately our "star" players are not able to perform when needed. I was hoping for another miracle, but was not meant to be!

Going forward...

If Utd get into the top 4 or somehow finish 3rd... (if others drop points) that would be a mini miracle! In our current form we don't deserve to be in top 4 and playing CL however I am expecting a "cull" out with the slackers and Ole bring in players to shape his starting lineup.

I know you're a die hard Hammers fan Ash and you deserved to win that game. Let LJ know my munchies belong to her now. I can't eat another chocolate till the wounds heal!

Ooooooops

Why you... who told them about this thread!? Damn it... lurkers! Coming in here with live updates. How cheeky is that... haha

Yeah yeah we know the real Messi revealed our weaknesses. Now the remaining games in our fixture list for Premier League will be thinking... "we fancy taking 1 or 3 points off of Utd"

Eek! Yikes! Not looking good for us to get into the top 4 is it... especially with Arsenal making a serious challenge for their place! The Gunners have not been getting much recognition in these threads because not in CL, but they are in a strong position. If they don't slip up they will be in CL.

Not a Man U fan but whilst messi is a genius and took his goal well, amongst most top European sides he wouldn’t even have been in the position to shoot there let some score, the defending was shocking - giving the ball away, standing off and watching him etc

I mean who stands off and watches to see what messi is going to do next! We all know if you give him loads of space what he’ll do!

They need some serious revamps in that defence - going forward they look dangerous but you can’t rely on scoring lots to cover rubbish defences and expect to win anything

I know we are still in shock at what happened to Utd, but there is no time... we have to focus on tonight and the future

Tonight's predictions:

One home team is out and another will go tonight... but which one? Liverpool are safe.

To continue from my posts in previous threads City will come back strong and show how good they are with the talent they have. However non of that matters because it's all upto Tottenham. I know Spurs fans have gone into hibernation so allow me to fill in...

Having a magnificent stadium and it is amazing plus having a great manager means nothing without trophies! This is Spurs opportunity to make their own history. Show the World you mean business. After City it's Ajax... are you ready!? Sorry City fans, but I think Spurs got it this time and won't bottle it like they do at crunch time.

Let us all watch something special tonight.

Make it happen. Good luck!

It certainly looks as though spurs are doing it all the hard way this season. One point from the first three games, squeezing through the group. Beating the top team in Germany and the Premier league title holders. Next Ajax who put out Real Madrid and Juventus...

Congratulations to Liverpool too - here's hoping for an all English final - Ajax are a decent team though and I'm made up for the Spurs boys we bought from them to get what will be a dream tie for them. Whether we can beat Ajax is another matter - should be a decent game, they're a very similar team to us.

Thanks for being a part of the history making night. What a game! What a game! That is why I love football. Goals galore... end to end fast pace. If you blinked you missed a goal! Wow just wow!

I am not a tribal warrior so I won't be saying order is restored in Manchester and all that malarkey... that is old school stuff. Proper old school and leaving that to others... instead I will say feel for Raheem. He almost made it happen, but Spurs were not going to get denied yet again...

This is all about Spurs!

Next post coming right up fellow Fabbers. Oh boy it's gonna be a good'un. Mr G I know you're buzzing! I have made a few calls and the whole of Tottenham is on cloud 9 right now

Tottenham Hotspur FC you was Hot tonight!

Oh my lordy lord. All the memories came rushing back when I was working at White Hart Lane. Those days when teams went there and scored goals for fun. Fans upset saying when will it be our turn... the amount of disappointments over the years... not being able to cross the finish line... I made a few phone calls and trust me fans were literally shaking... you could hear it in their voices and here I am as a Utd fan making predictions...

That is how you prove to the World you mean business! In style. The 4 quickest goals in CL history! Son... come on Son! What a talent! Tottenham as a team are looking deadly. You have just made history. This season as a whole has just been on another level. As footy fans we are being treated to some amazing games.

Going forward...

Son won't be playing in first leg. That is a huge loss. No Kane. However Spurs and Ajax. I am going to say it again...

Are you ready!?

That is one hell of a treat. This is what you do Spurs... you listening... you prove to your fans, all the neutrals and as the home team you show us that same drive, passion and grit! My prediction is Spurs in the final...

I know I know...

Don't panic!

It's okay. Spurs have the necessary ingredients from management to the players to make this happen. What a night! Incredible.

Football fans:

Tottenham are in the semi final of Champions League. You can't believe it? I know it's a strange feeling, but it's true. What a way to make history! Sensational Spurs is real you know

Well...

Nobody can take it easy because the weekend is fast approaching! Something else to remember... if the intensity was not enough already... local competitive rivals and rivalry between the bigger clubs means fans across the board can clash or shall we say not "happy" with certain results. Totally understandable, but there will be some upsets

To name a few:

Tottenham/Chelsea/West Ham/Arsenal

Utd/City ... *ahem*

Not even going to mention our biggest rivals in this post because they are doing well, but I will give my predictions soon. Who knew Spurs will stop City quadruple... hey?

"This could actually be ,,, Champions League Final ,, Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur ,,, and ,, Europa League Final ,, Arsenal v Chelsea ,,,,, "

An all English double final will be awesome however... as I mentioned in one of the previous threads I don't want Liverpool to win it. They have 5 CL's. That is 2 more then Utd so not a good stat! Grrr-ing plus I had already predicted Barca to go on and win it so sticking with that, but can Spurs do it... after looking at that clip in their dressing room... for the first time that team has experienced a real classic moment... you can tell they want it again and again! After Ajax it's Barca in the final. Let's see what they can do against Messi.

Seen as the Premier League is the best and most competitive league in the World Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea have extra pressure juggling games/players. Which teams will weather the storm and come out on top... we are about to find out! Talking about the weather...

It is roasting. Absolutely scorching today

It's okay to disagree and be passionate about our teams have own opinions/views, but as always please remember no matter what happens... win, draw or lose have a great weekend.

Catch up soon!

Morning fans, weekend round up:

City are rattled and Pep is still shaking after he fell to his knees, but as all great teams do... they got the 3 vital points. Tottenham could have easily drawn that game because still gave a strong performance so they maintain the Sensational Spurs status

Liverpool had a tough game against Cardiff, fighting for survival! But again showed they are in it to win it! Real strong team. However they need us to do them a massive favour... even when we are not in it we find ourselves in the mix!

Arsenal had a blip against Palace! Over to Chelsea tonight against another tough team... Burnley! Top 4 spots are still wide open.

As for Utd ... going to do a separate post

Manchester United:

Lost 4-0 !! Grrr-ing

Everton Angry Birds were aggressive on Easter Sunday. The fans were saying "we want 5" "we want 5"

absolutely embarrassing performance from our team. Players were sluggish and not bothered. It's like they have given up. You gotta love Gary Neville's commentry/interviews though. Fellow supporters I know it's not easy to watch and it is frustrating, but this is the real beginning of huge changes at our club!

Those players slacking will not get any wiggle room because Ole will fix things. I believe he will steer us back on course to where we belong. For now the magician Messi has taken the wheel!

We are still right in the centre of the action... and top 4 spots are still up for grabs. Having said that we find ourselves in a tough position. Huge Manchester derby! If we lose potentially top 4 is over. If we win handing Liverpool the trophy! Maybe a draw is the risky option...

let's see what happens with Chelsea tonight because then we got them and that is a must win game! We actually do need to win all our remaining games to secure top 4 finish.

However based on our performance Cardiff will be a tough challenge! All the teams are fighting for their place wherever that maybe in the league. Congrats to Everton with a well deserved win!

* United - City - L'pool *

This is intense for all fans, but as a few have already mentioned. Where you finish in the table at the end of the season is a pretty accurate indicator for the start of the next season and intentions... the duel between City/L'pool is great to watch! No team has made a mistake yet...

In other news:

We got a heatwave! Hope everyone has been taking advantage and enjoying

Chelsea draw to a very tough Burnley team! Points are being dropped all over the place...

The best teams that enter the CL and finish in the top 4 solve problems. Tottenham did just that against Brighton. Still maintaining the Sensational Spurs status, but still wide open because there are no easy games. Arsenal and Wolves is another tough challenge tonight!

@LFC - Thank you for your support tonight. Much appreciated

Over to the main event:

Manchester derby!

Let's get ready to rumble...

Ha ha it's all about Utd in here even though we are rubbish at the moment...

Only messing! I know City/Liverpool fans are on a real emotional rollercoaster... it is tense times you know. Anyone want to discuss a different team then? Like Newcastle... they are doing the double!! Like exactly identical stats from the previous season and this one. What is that about!?

Or how about something different... just when we thought we got away with it... you guessed it...

April showers, hailstones! Thunder! Wtf

Ooooh I know... cheeky posters mentioning "sex" in a footy thread... I know right. Just for the record don't need to separate them... pre/post match fun is perfect... what's better then that!? Half time sex because no matter what you're winning

Alright back to it...

Due to Liverpool fans loving us for one night we turned up for 45mins, but failed in second half. City are on a domestic mission thanks to you know which team...

Having said that even after all of this we are still in a chance at top 4... crazy things going on right now, but it is still up for grabs. Don't rule out any of the teams just yet though... Utd/Chelsea game is going to be the one to watch now because they also got problems so we got a chance

In other news:

I was at the gym on Wednesday before the derby doing my thing and a guy comes in wearing his Liverpool shirt... all proud and everything! Obviously that was putting me off so I went straight over to him and said I am a Utd fan!! We laughed, but he said he has put a £50 bet on City winning because if they lose that will be the best 50 quid he ever lost...

Ha ha whoops, but he is now raking it in with a win of sorts...

remember folks no matter how intense the rivalry is/gets we can still have a laugh and get along.

#True

Now it's over to Liverpool tonight...

The next time I post in here I will include a fun fact/stat for the historians that love to dip in and out of threads

Agreed, tribalism is a major problem. Liverpool scored already in 1 minute this has to be one of those games to close the goal difference gap.

Fun stat:

Well not really a good fun one, but this record is for the historians...

Most points in a season without winning the title currently held by:

Manchester United - 89

City/L'pool one of you is going to have that heartbreaking record soon. I know I know i'm clinching for something good in a difficult situation for us

True. Not really done gloomy.

Today:

What the... happened to Spurs!? Had to be West Ham to score first goal and win at the new stadium. Wolves and Watford !! They are at it for 7th place and Wolves could be the next big team to break into the top 6.

Super Sunday:

Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and City... let's see how it goes because L'pool used Huddersfield to close the goal difference gap so this is getting even more intense.

Even 3rd place is up for grabs now, but Spurs should be able to hold it together this time.

As far as predictions/hope goes... G called it for the weekend!! Arsenal to lose and Utd/Chelsea to draw

now that is something! However... even though there are favourites... 3rd and 4th still not clear cut...

Anything is possible

We are back onto CL this week. Can't wait for kick off. My prediction still stands with Spurs. Even though no Son (for 1st leg) no Kane I think they will go through to the final. Imagine that...

Tottenham in the CL final

Good luck to Chelsea/Arsenal for the Europa League games. Those teams have major problems, but my prediction is still on for them to be in the final.

That mouth watering clash is the main event so will be doing separate post tomorrow. Not leaving that big game out.

It's all about Spurs tonight. Losing to West Ham is pretty standard at this stage because Tottenham drop off the pace pretty much every season. As the 3rd best team in the league they are way behind City/L'pool. Never really challenging for the title. Without the CL success it is another failer.

Having said that...

Spurs V Ajax

Poch needs to get the tactics right. Give them a great start to the 1st leg. Son comes in for 2nd leg and they wrap things up to secure a place in the final. Kane comes back from injury because he is chomping at the bit from the sidelines! They have a real opportunity... the time is now.

Let us all see Spurs in the final.

P.s. Arsenal fans won't understandably be cheering from the roof tops, but this has been in the making for some time. Spurs building for success. Literally "building" for the next level.

On a side note:

I am still on a munchies strike due to Utd going out ffs, but will be tucking into a nice meal with friends for tonight's entertainment

They did improve in 2nd period when Sissoko came on but it was a poor over all display and the better side Ajax won on the night.

Couldn't agree more - we didn't get into the game at all in the first 30 minutes and to be honest I can't think of one clear cut chance we had that even went close in the whole game - yes we were the dominant team in the second half but we didn't create any chances.

That said 1-0 after the first leg isn't disastrous and if we get out game plan right for the second leg, it can be overturned BUT this is very good Ajax side who should not be under estimated

Vertonghen would have collapsed if he was not being held up! Luckily he signalled to come off because could have been worse if he tried to play on. When the ref stopped the game to make sure he is fit enough the medics were giving the go ahead! This needs to be looked at properly and no doubt one of the main talking points for media! Hope he makes a full safe recovery.

Poch got the tactics wrong. Definitely lucky only lost by 1 goal. Even though Spurs don't have depth to their squad or enough quality Poch knew Ajax strengths and he still setup team to get outplayed. Not all the players turned up either so an all round missed opportunity...

The fans turned up though! Great atmosphere. Only one man would have risen to the challenge... Son was missed big time! He would have absolutely loved that game. So this brings me onto the next bit...

Ajax is a great strong unit with hungry youngsters. They want this and can probably feel victory is coming and they are off to the final... so is it over? Nope! The tie is far from over. Spurs have a lifeline and are still in it. Luck plays a part even for the World's biggest/best clubs so why not for Tottenham... lord knows they are due a break... they got one when Ajax hit the post!

Allow me to try and shed some light while the Spurs fans are recovering! Poch ain't no dummy and knows his team is up against it so he will re-evaluate the strategy. The players will react. When they stepped it up in tonight's game Ajax struggled, but due to lack of attacking power Spurs couldn't convert! Son is the man for that job. Can't wait for the 2nd leg.

If that is not enough to convince the "critics" or even some of the Spurs fans... here is another thing... the away performance in CL is great! It's looking decent still folks. Just be cool for a week and regroup. Ajax is beatable

And another thing...

Kane was all wrapped up warm... watching... imagine him and Son in the final... no don't! That would be too much excitement to take in all at once

this is done for now...

The main event is next:

Barca/Messi V Liverpool

Spurs are cooked

Ajax will be even better at home.

Spurs are a one man team. No Kane-no result.

Son was ineffective against The Hammers so why think he can produce against Ajax.

Spurs lose 2nd leg 2-0

Liverpool will give Barca a game. Both teams are stronger in attack than defence so every reason to think goals.

This tie will be decided at Anfield. I see a 2-2 draw tonight.

Next week could be anything in the 2nd leg though. Expect more goals but I reckon Liverpool will just get over the line with a 3-2 win at Anfield after a 2-2 draw again and extra time, the Reds get the odd goal in 9 over the 2 legs.

The final will be interesting then as Ajax v Liverpool in a one off game is really hard to call.

Remember I am a lifelong Utd fan.

Here we go...

Barca V L'pool

Two giants in CL. I met the lifelong L'pool fan in the gym again today. He was proud wearing his T-Shirt. He said if it was the other way round he to wouldn't be "cheering" due to the huge rivalry between us. That is understandable! On top of that my competitive sporty nature especially football being my main sport means I should not even be mentioning L'pool...

However I am not ruled by football and nor do I get bothered by the cheeky ones telling me I shouldn't be congratulating L'pool...

#TheyKnowWhoTheyAre

Let's crack on...

Once again nobody can deny L'pool are the best English team in Europe. 5 titles! That is the only reason why I don't want them to win. Utd only have 3. Not good enough... grrr-ing

For those that have been following these threads from the beginning you will know I like Klopp's style. He is a great manager. The unity in club with everyone involved is amazing. Their fans home and abroad love them to bits... I have many friends that are Liverpool fans and I know a lot through the intense rivalry...

There is very little or no weakness in the strong unit. L'pool/Klopp's record is very impressive. I can appreciate quality/talent no matter what team it is. Klopp's first game against Barca though... L'Pool enjoy playing against Barca with a great record... this could go either way and has the potential to be one of the best games to talk about for a long time...

Having said that:

Messi is the difference. He wants this. Really bad... Barca/Messi to win tonight, but L'pool attacking force is formidable so we could see an away goal...

Phew!! See you on the other side fellow fans. It's almost time

No one throws people in fountains quite like The Best Fans In The World ™

Ouch. Shameful. Still Passionate ™

Before I share my post match analysis... and continue with football. For fellow fans of F1:

The greatest... 25 years

#Senna

#Respect

Back to tonight:

Salah should have got the away goal. So close, but it's over. That is all for L'pool. Barca/Messi as I predicted will win CL. Utd was the only hope, but we will rebuild and show how you do it...

As for that magician:

Magical Messi thinks he is hot stuff with 600th goal! He is! Huge milestone for the record books against L'pool. Messi/Ronaldo rivalry is something special. They have real drive/motivation to be the best... sports hey!

#Executed

#Magician

Extra bonus prediction:

Ajax V Barca will be great to see, but that won't be happening. Because it's going to be Spurs in the final as I have already said a few times... let's go further... Spurs will get spanked, but that will be the best thing that could happen to them because they really do need a "wake up" call! Getting to the final will give them that feeling/taste of what is possible. Maybe... just maybe then we may see them go on to win trophies in the future.

Let's continue because why not:

City to win the league.

Watford to win FA Cup.

Man Utd to finish 4th.

Blimey!! So this is freedom of thoughts... freedom is real people

This is so much fun! What the heck we gonna do when footy season is over folks!? Eek!

Thanks for that B. Can't forget!

It's over to Arsenal and Chelsea for tonight. Then we got the weekend to look forward to! Will be interesting to see which teams step up to try and finish off season on a positive with only 2 games remaining. Or will it be the same theme with dropping points.

Difficult to call it because football has become unpredictable this season. Well almost... drink plenty of fluids for more action packed entertainment because this is draining

Arsenal and Chelsea done well. Still on track to reach the final. Congrats to Norwich and Sheffield Utd! Premier league next season for them. Those two teams might have this to look forward to in the future you know...

What a goal! 600th! Wowzer

If any team out there from any division needs points come over to Man Utd we are giving them away!! Out of the top 4 finally confirmed. No CL next season, but Cardiff is next...

Arsenal... out, but still have an opportunity to get back in by winning Europa League. That is a huge incentive for the gunners to make it especially with Chelsea already safe. Tottenham is safe, but don't be thinking Ajax will be regardless of Spurs current form because that is normal for them... CL is a different/exciting experience and the time is now...

Looking forward to Tues/Wed because CL is back on! Salah was the main man giving Barca the most problems, but he might not play due to head injury. Newcastle! What a game that was. Proves again how good Liverpool are and putting pressure back on City... before the CL we have the match tonight to look forward to in this epic title race... City V L'pool I mean Leicester

Can Brendan Rodgers be the one...

All I know is munchies strike is over because I need popcorn tonight

no..... now that top 4 is set (man city, liverpool chelsea and tottenham) the only way arsenal can qualify is if they they win the europa.... chelsea winning it will not open up another spot for an english side... that europa spot will be filtered down...

depending on the result tonight that should dictate our team selection tomorrow, should Leicester take points off City then we should play a very weakened side and write the champions league off especially now bobby and mo arnt fit...

Actually you're forgetting the Spursy nature of my beloved team - place all your money now on us beating Ajax gloriously to go through to the final (where Messi will play on his own and we'll still lose) and then losing 3-0 at home to Everton while Arsenal chalk up a 5-0 away win at Burnley

You read it here first

Now I've said it aloud it can't happen can it?!

Blimey, that was brave G! Spursy nature

Vincent Kompany !! His own team mates had no faith in him... were saying pass it... pass it... Leicester were backing off thinking go on... go on we dare you...

Goooooooooaaaaal !!

Captain Fantastic indeed

What a season so far. Incredible title race. No matter what happens on Sunday... one thing is guaranteed L'pool being so good and pushing for victory made City better! That's what good competition is all about. Love it!

Liverpool:

Down and 99% out of CL ...

Nothing to lose...

Looking forward to watching Anfield buzzing because that combination of L'pool fighting for survival and the passionate fans roaring... could mean 1% chance could be the biggest night of CL to date... Messi is on a mission!

This has full on entertainment written all over it for footy fans

CL 2nd leg

Liverpool v Barcelona...

The Reds lost the first leg 3-0 in Spain after another magical display from Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp and will need some sort of miracle at Anfield tonight especially with Mo Salah out with a head injury...

What sort of reception will Suarez get from the home fans?...

Not that brave - it's happened before...

...last round of matches of the 2015/16 "Leicester" season - Spurs needed a point to finish 2nd above Arsenal - we lost 5-1 at relegated Newcastle, Arsenal won 4-0 at home to Villa - now admittedly they finished a point above us but that is how an 8 goal swing in GD can and has happened

Good luck to Liverpool tonight - not taking the piss but think you're going to need it.

Suarez will get a fantastic reception, just as he did for Stevie's testimonial

Brewster to start apparently. Remember when Robbie slum landlord Fowler scored five on his full Liverpool debut, yeah won't be repeated tonight.

Has been a terrible season for my team, with the only high point being our draw at the weekend meaning that a certain team did not qualify for next season's champions league!

If they carry on playing at this pace Liverpool will be shattered by the 70th minute, except for Shaqiri who was shattered 2 minutes before kick off
