With key players returning from injury - it's still very much ON

Back on Friday..... bench on Wednesday.....start on Sunday?

Another away game we'll 'smash' despite 25 years of results suggesting otherwise.

In my 30 years of following United we’ve smashed Chelsea at Stamford bridge on precisely 3 occasions. None of those were against post Roman ££ chelsea.

4-1 in 1995
5-3 in the FA Cup in 1998
3-0 in 2002

That’s it.

You're about the same age as me.

So the same, yeah.

Just like Anfield two weeks ago. We're generally shit there and don't score many.

Hadn't scored 3 there in 20 years. Haven't won by three clear goals at Anfield in my lifetime.

There's a YouTube clip over on the Park thread of us in peak form, killing Arsenal back in 2008 when we had the best player in the world scoring 42 goals in one season.

We won 1-0 at Anfield and lost 2-1 at Stamford bridge that year.

As long as we’ve learned from Hazard throwing himself on the floor last time, no reason we can’t get three points.

I certainly fancy Jose v Conte.

I'm sure we have. The refs still haven't cottoned on to the diving little shit though.

yup, the sooner he leaves Real and comes and plays for us the better.

Doubt they ever will when they play us. With media hounding them for any favourable decision decision we get.

£#%&!ing Sherwood yesterday. Bitter no mark @#%&!. They’re all running with the “negative long ball Jose” narrative whilst we have our midfield missing. Kane would’ve made all the difference, though. Jose come to OT and suddenly becomes a negative manager. Never was at Chelsea.

Pogba's missed nearly a 5th of the season and it barely warrants a mention. Harry Kane's missing for one game and it's all they talked about for half an hour before the game and suddenly that's an excuse for Spurs not to play a striker until the 70th minute.

Yeah but negative Jose blah blah blah. Not Jose's fault that Mkhitaryan is getting shitter by the week, Lukaku has the touch and finesse of Frankenstein's monster and Herrera has now morphed into the Spanish Tom Cleverley.

Gary linekar mentioned that Kane was missing while introducing the game on MOTD

I'm sorry, isn't that the job of the commentator in the first few seconds when the teams are shown?

He would have made the difference though. What with his excellent record at Old Trafford.

Wasn't one of the 92/93/94 seasons where we only lost twice in the league and it was to Chelsea home and away...Gavin Pea#@&%!?

We lost other games too. Blackburn and Wimbledon away, i think.

It's strange, I can remember around 1990 to 1999 all very clearly. After that, seasons tend to mesh in to one.
