Nobody deserves to lose their jobs regardless of it. As you say it couldn't come at such a worse time when companies all over cutting back with jobs, and in your families case...chefs when both restaurants and pubs are still currently closed. Might have to take something else they can find till things get back to normal or at least when venues start reopening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame innit They should enjoy things at Old Trafford then, hottest its been all summer is expected midweek with temps in low 30s celsius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Maybe believing some of their own press, and that coupled with so many games in a short space and having not really rotated the squad could be fun. Expect them to lose at Man Utd too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One said the 3 months lay off affected them badly which was ok until another pointed out that Newcastle had a 3 month lay off as well. I've just read this on Facebook........ it’s not over yet ! Really need some firepower up front. Someone to attack the ball when it comes into the box. Some of the crosses were magnificent but no one on the end of them. If United had two forwards who could get 20-30 goals a season between them we would be challenging the top two. I think we miss O’Connell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not nice pal, I hope for the best for your family but fear the worst right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the star and radio Sheff are so deep in the pigs pockets that nothing will really be said for fear of upsetting wilder and his humble band of low paid warriors. Really hope your dad and brother find summat to tide em over til things start reopening. Looking for a silver lining here, but when things start to reopen demand will be huge and jobs should open up to cope. Fingers crossed they can get summat in the meantime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wednesday had Bale and Kante we might make play offs FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 They made great play of how they only had one week off and other than that have trained throughout the break. Seems to have taken the life out of them whereas other teams seem fresher from the longer break Surely Wilder can’t have got it wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if any team had 2 forwards getting 20-30 a season they'd be near the top 2 of their league. Fvckin idiots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the heat that you’d expect for fixtures in June and July, I think it’ll benefit teams more with players who have ability as opposed to sides who work hard and rely on high energy, high pressing. The season being delayed and resumed in the summer will have a huge impact on their push for European football. Come the end of the season we’ll still be the only side in the city that’s played in Europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_1 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 If they can come away with something tonight it would be one of the most impressive results of the season. Without their first choice keeper, missing 1 first choice defenders, potentially 2, their high tempo tactics in 30 degree heat, with 1 shot on target in both of their last 2 games. 1-0 for dem blavges coming up then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Lose tonight and I expect them to finish their league season with a whimper as their run-in is pretty tough. That said I expect them to beat Arsenal in the Cup and more than likely make the final in a season where fans can't got Wembley where they will take the lead and see Wilder do a Pardew on the touch line before VAR intervenes with a penalty equaliser and a winning goal for the opposition by a goal that is just adjudged to have crossed the line?

TrickyTrev Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I don’t think it helps the pigs that they started this run in with a game in hand and are still in the cup. By Wilders own admission they don’t have a big squad and having to cram more games into this short spell, added to that the extra heat in the summer months and I honestly don’t think they’ll finish in the top 10.
