    Stretford Haddock - The Unofficial Manchester Utd Thread

    I think it's a poor show that we don't have a proper Man Utd thread. They are one of the more compelling soap operas in English and World football. Right up there with Chelsea, who have a dedicated and official thread. Because Utd are not winning everything and because Zomp has a job, kids...

    2023 Europa League Final Game Thread - Sevilla vs Roma - It's football heritage

    Game Thread for the final if anyone is watching. I have this as a 50/50 contest but I'm rooting for Jose. The match is being played at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary. Not much happening in the first ten minutes. Loud whistles from the Roma fans. Can't imagine we'll get many goals.

    In the early kick off Brighton get a much needed win at Norwich to go to 36 points, which might well be be enough. Norwich are doomed. Man U went a goal down at home to Bournemouth, But Greenwood smashed one in a few mins ago and now they have a pen - Rashford slots it home - 2-1 to United...

    10/20 Weekend Game Thread - A View From The Bridge

    Chelsea Currently 1-0 against Utd as we head into half time. I haven't looked at any of the stats but to my eyes, Utd haven't pressed or pushed Chelsea who have mostly coasted through the half. Hazard is playing well within himself, i feel he could turn it on at any time. The goal came from a...
