Great win for Manchester United tonight. Good to have them back in The European Cup 🤣🤣

It's a difficult one now for Manchester United.

They've gone through the motions with managers.

Moyes -The Protege.
Van Gaal - The Experienced
Mourinho - The Super Manager
Solskjaer- The Former Player
Rangnick - The Weird Interim
Ten Hag - The Technical And Supposedly Up and Coming.

Where do they go now? I kind of think they need an experienced one.

In that way Emeri is that person but why would he leave Villa?

I like Andoni Iraola but I think it's too early for him now.

Amorim is highly rated but I'm not sure about him and don't know too much. I need to do some reading.

Alonso would be a good pick but he's made his decision to stick with Leverkusen.

Godfather Ancelotti is probably ten years too late but he'd add that experience.

I think Manchester United should be approaching managers and picking the best. However, they'll probably go the cheap available option and Xavi will turn up

"Our Gareth was now in charge. Sir Gareth Southgate has come in to save the day. He does not have a cape to display his super powers. He has something much more powerful than that. His waistcoat. He has brought pride to proceedings and English football seems credible again."

This is a story of the curse that Franz Beckenbauer casts over English football since the 1966 home World Cup win. It goes beyond the 30 years of hurt

I can see why Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten this season. They have the Honey Monster as their goalkeeper. Good luck Harry Kane and Bayern Munich

I feel the pressure watching Arsenal & I'm not that bothered about them.

They seem to be on the edge all of the time. It seems that all of their victories are events. Big events.

I don't know if you can mentally deal with that in the long term. Seems exhausting.

I know how the Liverpool fans feel. I cried when Ron Atkinson got sacked in November 1986

Happy Birthday to Bryan Robson AKA Captain Marvel. What a guy. My all time Manchester United hero and carried my hopes and dreams in the 1980s and 1990s. An all time great.

The magic of the FA Cup is a saying that is closely associated with The Road to Wembley and surely plays a part in the memory of every football fan.
