I was about to say that Bournemouth are a bogey side for United but I mean, add em to the list 🙄 #mufc

They've had to get creative with income streams. Fair play to them for that. Rob and Ryan's profiles have helped massively but they've had to make the spending sustainable, which is a massive challenge at any level.

The changes in the team have been necessary and incremental. And to consolidate a place in the Championship there will need to be a lot more changes than we've seen so far, such is the jump in quality.

Every promotion takes a huge amount of management; of personnel and tactics, as well as finances.

Yeah 100%. There's some jealousy clearly. But even with investment, 3 promotions takes an unbelievable amount of planning and responsible investment. On and off the pitch.

You can't just throw money at a club!

From what I've heard from other (rival) fans through the leagues, they're moaning about the investment and a lack of fairness etc.

But on the other hand, responsible and sustainable investment is surely welcome, no? It's every club's dream.

The Wrexham rollercoaster keeps climbing 🎢 with an unprecedented THIRD promotion in a row 📈

Would love to hear your thoughts about their rise, because opinion is always split about them, for various reasons.

Has the Premier League been a bit boring this season?

The title, relegation - all settled really quickly 🙄

How have you found it? In the Champions League race, it's been thrilling I guess!

Teams the streets won't forget:
Internazionale 2010.

Jose Mourinho's Champions League winners were a team of warriors and ballers.

#internazionale #forzainter #intermilan #josemourinho #zanetti #etoo #sneijeder #waltersamuel

According to ChatGPT, Arsenal have a 24% chance of winning the Champions League.

I'm not sure what puts Barcelona ever so slightly ahead, but I'd say that was a pretty even final 4!

#ucl #championsleague

I mean, Newcastle 😳 Wow! They're flying on good vibes, positive momentum... and pure quality at the moment.

THE form team in the Premier League!

#newcastleunited #nufc #newcastle

Manchester City face a tough next 2 games, but their final 4 look much easier.

The game against Aston Villa at the Etihad is the big one. Can Pep Guardiola turn a nightmare season into a positive one?

#mancity #mcfc #premierleague #footballpodcast #pepguardiola

André Onana showed his shortcomings yet again against Lyon.

With the rest of the team playing better, surely Onana is the weak link and has to go.

Mike has his say.

Aston Villa have a HUGE Champions League opportunity!

With their recent form, the tie against PSG isn't as one-sided as it should be.

#astonvilla #avfc #utv #championsleague #ucl #emery #asensio #rashford #footballpodcast

The title-winning Leicester City team of 2015/16 is an all-time, hall of fame squad of ballers who will go down in history.

Some went onto even bigger things. Some less so.

The streets won't forget the iconic Brentford team of 2017-2019, before their best players were slowly picked off.

Some class names there!

Man City could end one of their worst seasons in a decade, with a trophy and a Champions League spot.

With new energy like Marmoush and O'Reilly, they could finish the season strongly.

#mancity #mcfc #manchestercity #marmoush #guardiola #premierleague #footballpodcast

Marcus Rashford is finally on the scoresheet for Aston Villa, with goals against Preston and now Brighton.

He's contributed to so much of Villa's attack, so to see the goals come is a huge positive.

Who's ready for the magic of the FA Cup Quarter-finals? Myles definitely is, as Villa face Preston

Rasmus Højlund's "Siuu" celebration, right in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, was meant as a homage to a hero.

What did you think?! A sign of respect, or disrespect?

Thomas Tuchel's first England squad contains some throwback players 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It *could* be part of a bigger vision of creating a club environment with senior voices.

But seeing Kyle Walker and Jordan Henderson was a bit... underwhelming 😐

Newcastle won the Carabao Cup because they wanted it MORE. The players, the fans.

You could feel the desire to not let this slip! The city of Newcastle deserves the win.

#newcastle #newcastleunited #nufc #howe #joelinton #footballpodcast

If you can disassociate enough to enjoy any future success, then more power to you. Man City fans have managed it for long enough.

Personally, I'd be too conflicted. Each to their own.

Newcastle fans deserve the Carabao Cup win after so long without success.

But from now on, Newcastle's success will always have the shadow of Saudi sportswashing hanging over it.

Nottingham Forest are edging closer to Champions League football!

A resounding 4-2 win over Ipswich widens the gap, when teams around them are dropping points.

Can they go the distance? They seem to have the mentality! 💪🏻
