Sounds like Zlatan has done his ACL and that's him out for the season, and he's probably finished at United too. Think that's a blessing in disguise as the team has played better without him and with the pace of Rashford up front (I think some of those home draws would be wins if he'd started up front more).

Real shame about Ehiogu. Surely part of one of the best Villa defences in recent times (along with Southgate and McGrath). Athletic Heart Syndrome maybe? Sounded like he was in good health otherwise.

Dunno but those bunch of cheating banana splits deserve nothing. I will never forgive that club for bribing the ref in 84 v Forest in the UEFA semi final. Robbed us of a 3rd major European final in 6 seasons.

It's a shame, I hope they win the title over Newcastle though.

Baldie Castles is saying Rojo out for 5 months and Ibra out for 9 months.

Jose is telling Jones and Smalling to step up and play through the pain. But in reality we need two centre backs in the summer. Jones and Smalling get injured too much. Smalling less so in the last few years.

strawberry floating hell don't think I've ever known two players from the same team to do their cruciates in one game, of course it would happen to United :lol:

He was clearly annoyed last summer when Pogba chose United over Madrid. He's a wank.

Ugo Ehiogu is from our era of football sticker collecting, and so is one of the generation of players that really stick in my mind from when I did know all the players in the Premier League. Players like Gary Speed, Gary Ablett, Pavel Srnicek, Dalian Atkinson, Rocky, and now Ehiogu, it's an absolute tragedy that they've all died so young.

Heh.

I wonder if we'll ever see a TotY vs PL Champions type exhibition game...

Unlikely as you'd imagine that the Champions would have a fair amount of players in a Team of the Year.

To be fair, it would be funny. :shifty:

Major blow losing Zlatan, interesting to see how United cope without him. Liverpool are scraping results now with no Hendo, Mane, Lallana and usually one of our centre backs. Need Firmino and Coutinho to stay fit till end of season.

I think attacking wise we will be OK without him. As Mafro said earlier we've looked a lot better in that sense without him in recent weeks. Faster and more threatening. Obviously a lot of pressure on Rashford but I think he can handle it.

It's as big a blow losing Rojo at the moment.

How long until Smalling and Jones are back?

Dont forget we also stiffed Madrid via De Gea. Guillem Ballbag probably didnt like that either.

I think we will miss Zlatan he's scored 28 goals this season but it does look like Rashford has found form in recent weeks so lets hope he can continue that.

John Terry is such an awful banana split. He hasn't played all year and teams are tripping all over their cocks saying they're interested in signing him. Why? Why?! He's a banana split and he's practically retired! strawberry float sake.
