I'd play the under-11's
Oh dear God... you just HAD to say it, didn't you?
Great result. Just home. Few periods where aurier was terrible but overall very pleasing to see our desire and hunger back at last. Kane looked a bit sharper but my god how fucking good is son. Seeing him live in that sort of mood is frightening.
Fucking COYS.
BELIEVE MOTHERFUCKERS.
I just can’t wait for Chelsea and our home games 2020. Bring it the fuck on.
(Apologies to

for the excessive use of the F word!
Look forward to catching up with TFC bods on the 22nd - sitting in block 323 for that one courtesy of

Solskjaer was possibly 90 minutes away from getting sacked on Wednesday night. A team reborn all of a sudden after good old Spurs did what they always do at Old Trafford, not show up and roll over and save his job.
I still think we have a good chance of Top 4. Man U are still fairly shit with a manager out of his depth regardless of outcome here. Chelsea have hit the skids a bit too. 3 defeats in last 4 with only a very nervy win at home to Aston Villa breaking that sequence.
I didn’t see the game, but the score line suggests we kept going - that ruthlessness is something all the top teams have and prevents letting the other teams back in. Here’s hoping!
I said it to

at the time.... "that was Ricky Villa on steroids!"

I thought Dier got better in the second half. Whether Burnley had given up or felt sorry for him, he managed to tackle a few players and pass us the ball. It’s a start...
They don’t call me the oracle for nothing...Kane should never play for this great club again, poor attitude, poor work ethic, obviously doesn’t care - that much is clear because his form has dipped over a long period of two whole games.
Great performance and result. Just what was needed. Most pleasing thing was you could actually see some tactical and positional changes to our play today which were really effective. I don’t think Mourinho is trying to get us playing long balls, but we were trying to stretch the pitch as much as possible and then play balls directly in behind the full backs. Worked really well with Sonny and Aurier overlapping on the other side! Enjoyable Day!
Burnley are EXACTLY the type of team we've struggled against in the past... they set up solid, and deep, get everyone behind the ball and hope for a counter attack breakaway goal...
In years gone by we've struggled to break them down (last season at Wembley was a SLOG, even though we scraped a win... EVENTUALLY!!)
...but not today!
Every league has teams like Burnley... and good for them, they cut their cloth accordingly.... it's no crime.
Hull, West Brom and Stoke have done it before, and we've never had an answer to it... until TODAY!
TIDE'S A CHANGIN'!!

Apparently they tried to get in the coach and horses too, but that was after I left!
We are an odd side. But there is enough there for any good coach to work with. I'm left wondering about Pochettino's mentality. We are four players off being a completely ungovernable ass kicking machine. RB, LB, CDM, CB. Let's for arguments sake say. Atal, Zakaria, Unpamecano, Chilwell. Of that lot only Chilwell is a reach. That's all we'd need with an integrated Lo Celso and Sessingnon. So what had happened to Poch that he could not see it through. Odd indeed. But if we get four sound players we will back in the mix over to Levy....
