I wonder if Rooney will end up being linked seeing as they like going down the fergie xi

This is the problem when they keep hiring ex players from Fergie era trying recreate the past. They need new manage to create their own new identity and playing style. Ruben Amorim wanted create his own style and methods at United but was not allowed by his players and the board, in the end i think he was more than grateful to be sacked, think he knew whilst at United your not allowed to change too many things as it's not the "United Way" Fergie shadow is constantly over looking every manager that walks in.

Sorry I'm meant to say Saturday lol. I'd be very keen to go tomorrow. Exotic Barnsley.

I am amazed people wanna buy tickets for this, I'm knocking them those that do. Hats off to you. But for me I can't justify even being a tenner to watch us our first team play a premier league under 21's side. It's a fixture we simply cannot win, we win the argument is "your only playing their youth team" we lose and it's an embarrassment. For me the focus on league and Fa Cup now, get the win against Fulham U21's and then whatever happens against Stevenage and Walsall let so be it.

Early start for me tomorrow 6am train get into Barnsley about 10am. Thanks sky tv...

Hope Lincoln can stay up, certainly going about in the championship well. I do feel like the gap between the championship to league one is minimal. Hence why we have seen so many clubs have back to back to promotions to the premier league.

Bradford v Peterborough at least guarantees a league one side into the quarter finals. I remember Bradford City reaching the final in 2013 as a league two club.

Ironic theres non league clubs who give bigger away allocations. I think for efl ground criteria i think 1k should be the minimum a club can give to an away team.

Carrick is similar to Ole, good as an interim but not a long term option. I'm not convinced the United wanted him long term, think it was more fan demand as a lot were pleased how he managed team in the second half of the season. Interim is easier job than long term when required to build a team. In terms of transfers Carricks choices were questionable. I think signing 29 year old Youri Tielemans i found a strange one, considering his time at Villa he was always in and out the starting xi.

Just 825, no surprise think capacity is only like 3,500. Even midweek i think this will sell out by day two. A lot of season ticket holders will be left dissapointed.

Manure understatement, carrick's time at United is looking bleak.

Cant find league cup thread, Cov playing their first big derby against Villa in 25 years yet... empty seats.

Club as money to burn but can't spend it because of the old PSR rule, can imagine owners really regret buying Newcastle now.

Watched Pressure in a very small cinema in Mablethorpe, when small very tiny. The screen was the size of probably just a big flat screen tv. In terms of the capacity itself, there was about 10-12 in and if another six people turned it would be a tight squeeze. Most weird cinema I been to, you walk into like this shop area selling dvd's, posters, toys and sweets with a counter. There was so much stock round laying around you almost were tripping over things. To be fair it felt like a little family run cinema, there was a friendly man and woman running the cinema who probably own the cinema. Inside to the actual screen everything seemed very clean. It does feel like even though its a small family run cinema, alot pride and passion as gone into this. When comparing to the tower cinema in Skeggy just up the road, which just feels there's a lack of interest. Seen a few films in there over the years when visiting Skeggy and the state of it was just poor, very old and dirty. Plus film choice there was pretty poor only two screens, showing a film sequel about magic with nicole kidman and sandra bullock or documentary show about oasis.... Anyway onto Pressure, good movie the film as that same feel of like Operation Mincemeat, if you enjoyed that you will like this aswell. Trying to make a movie about the weather during the second war and making it interesting is not going to be easy in what was short period of time. However as it showcases in this movie the weather forecast played crucial role in terms of making sure the d-day landings was a success. Andrew Scott plays CPT James Stagg a meterologist, whose tasked to come up with correct forecast heading of upcoming D-Day landings. Stagg discovers a violent storm heading towards Normandy coast which could jeopardise the mission on the day of the planned landings. Despite these findings he his struggling to convince military commanders Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) and Monty (Damian Lewis) to postpone the attack. Performance wise everyone is great, Brendan Fraser once again smashes it as Eisenhower as does his co-starts Scott and Lewis. You do feel sorry for Stagg whose clearly quite the expert and constantly being ignored and questioned about his knowledge and you really want him to be proved right. If your fond of your world war 2 history, then you will certainly enjoy this. If your wanting an explosion filled, battle movie... erm well not so much in this movie. It's not quite a pearl harbour or saving pvt ryan type movie. I would say it's good sunday evening flick to watch, only on 90 minutes which was probably about right for this story. It's a decent 7/10.

Last time i went Barnsley was the 1-1 under Sven. Beckford was making his debut... wasnt amazing i remember took off at half time. Kingy scored the equaliser. Remember fans chanting "4-4-2" to sven.
