Chelsea vs Manchester United (PL) Friday 16th May 20:00 GMT

Can't help but feel that United is in deep sh*t if they lose the Europa League Final. As big as they are, I do not believe their resources are unlimited and this is the summer they get a fat reality check for the first time in a long while. They were able to spend w/o a care in the world, but this could be over if they miss out on CL football and they will have to take the dirty route of selling players in order to make funds available. But that squad is filled with bang average players that won't be of much interest for a lot of clubs and United will also have to take care of FFP and PSR rules as well because, for example, selling someone like Hojlund (now only into his 2nd season only) for a loss in the books, gets them into even deeper sh*t. And they have most of their squad in this position. Their main assests are the Academy graduates such as Garnacho and Mainoo, but there is nobody in their right mind going to pay huge money for them.

Spurs winning the Final might just be the best thing for all of Spurs and United's rival clubs as Spurs would probably still keep Postecoglu in charge and no matter if they play CL football or not, Levy will still keep his pockets tight and Spurs won't improve no matter what. Whereas for United it could prove to be the first nails in their coffin and the true beginning of their decline. It's already begun for some years, but now everything is in place to truly have them realize that more than a decade of overspending on average players and completely mismanaging their resources has finally caught up with them. And long may it last! Some big clubs have never recovered from that, hopefully United is one of those, too.

This is why I want Spurs to beat Utd (which they won't).

Utd are our rivals for success, not spurs and we need them to stay down in the dumps for as long as possible.

 
Thought that was the most frustrating performance our wingers ever put in. They were both individually awful.

Honestly would rather stick with our current defence if it meant we made a statement signing at wing and at ST.

United fans are completely delusional, at least half of them are anyway. One half seem to have accepted the mess they are in, and the other half refuses to accept it. They still think they are one or two signings away from competing at the top again. I think the only way some of them will wake up is if they get relegated.

Radcliff said they are still paying Dortmund for Sancho!

Tbf we're not far off them.

People keep saying how Utd always turn up against us. The fact is, we are absolutely dreadful and the bad football you see in our head to heads is our level. A bunch of average footballers stealing a living.

Tbh we do have a mental block against Utd. It’s clear as day. If it were Liverpool or City we would have played far much better.

It reminds me a little of the days when we couldn’t beat Arsenal at all, until that Wayne Bridge goal on a famous night.

There isn’t a reality that exists where Spurs winning a trophy is the better option against anything.
