It is all 6!
Undav scored the first in the 6th minute.
Undav scored Brighton's sixth in the 66th minute.
Is it destiny that we will finish in sixth?

Er, yeah, that is exactly what it is. Yes, definitely.

Maybe my imagination but today seemed to be going back to basics De Zerbi ball, lots of patient drawing out the opposition after a few games of quite frenetic play.

Commentary from Steve Sidwell and Jules Breach, before the end of the game:

Did she just say we've played less games than Spurs, Liverpool and Villa? No, no she didn't. She said we've played fewer games.

I've got a boner.

This post has aged well

To be fair, it was nearly an hour until he was proved wrong, so perhaps he's getting better.

Bit of a change from what you were saying previously.

Yep, it seems the wheels on the bus are still going round and round

Dream day for Roberto. Key players properly rested, squad players all had great games, Enciso proved a right handful on the left, he didn’t need to risk Fergie and a thumping victory to alleviate the pain of the last couple of games.

We owe Man U a beating after the cup game. Players are going to be fired right up.

Letting that oik, Coady go has not helped them either. Even if he has been poor at Everton.

But, but, but.... Southgate thinks he's better than Dunk

@Tom Hark Preston Park - was that Billy Gilmour's best performance since his MOTM match winning performance in Scotland's famous 0-0 victory at Wembley 2 years back? Must be.

I can’t agree I’m afraid. Paul Merson is not fit to be a pundit. He’s barely coherent, incapable of pronouncing names properly and is unable to produce an argument for any position he takes.

There’s an clip of Merson analysing the Maguire transfer and he got it spot on. United overpaid for a defender playing in a structure he was never going to play in for United. Which is exactly what happened.

The funny thing was that the wise old head of Lopetegui, decided that they wouldn’t fall for the trap of rabidly closing down Dunk, Webster and Steele. From the off, happy to wait 30 yards out, before pressing.

It was still hopeless.

There’s an clip of Merson reading out what an analyst had written down in crayon for him (using words of one syllable) analysing the Maguire transfer and he got it spot on. United overpaid for a defender playing in a structure he was never going to play in for United. Which is exactly what happened.

corrected for accuracy

One of those rare Wolves spikes was a just series of shit corners, in the second half.

We could see Wolves fans going berserk with anger at the incompetence.
