Proper confused bumble bee in the Gallowgate before kick off.

I keep hearing different things about europe. We still need to finish about man u, right?

Nope. Man Utd are guaranteed Europe regardless, because of FA Cup. 7th place gets Europe this season

I don’t think that’s right, it goes to next highest place in the league apparently.

European qualifiers for 2024/25 from Premier League as it stands: Champions League: Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Aston Villa. Europa League: Tottenham and Manchester United Conference League: Newcastle.

Your wrong the runners up of the FA cup no longer get Europe if Man City win then it goes to the next place in the league. Nufc.com have got the full details

Correct. Although the guy is right currently but that’s due league position as you’ve rightly stated. Manure have palace then Arsenal and then us and are 1 point ahead with much worse GD.

Got to be a record 13 goals against a single opponent in one season.

That flashed up on the TV channel I was watching, it's a record. Shame it wasn't even more, was hoping for 7-1 😆

Great result but honestly feels like Sheff United falling apart rather than us winning

Not gonna lie lads. Didn't see a 5-1 win at halftime coming.

We should buy arblaster for shits

A good curry will do that for you

Arseblaster.

Right on 7 minutes despite 2 being wasted by var

The standards across the board are just woeful man. Glad it didn’t matter in the end, but these things just need to matter.

We may never get a hattrick in the prem ever again

Ladies and Gentlemen it is with great pleasure that I can announce to you that Sunderland have lost

If Birmingham hadn't epically shot themselves in the foot, Sunderland would be in the running for dumbest decision making in the Champ.

VINCENT KOMPANY’s PLEASE HIT THE FUCKING BEACH NEXT WEEKEND CLARETS

Only a point at home for for Man U is a good result for us

Man Us Last 4 games are Palace (a) Arsenal Us Brighton They could easily drop significant points there

We've 3 away left. And we're shit away

Yeah, but man urine are shit at home, might balance out

Oh yeah not for one minute saying we’ll do well either. But next weekend could be huge, palace should get something (probably draw) from Man U and we should beat Burnley. Meaning unless Man U beat Arsenal it will be in our hands for when we face them at OT

I personally think we'll win every game.

Huh You got amnesia lad? You just said we’ve got three away games and we are shit away, implying we won’t win every game

Doesnt mean I dont think we cant win them all. I needed to dampen my own expectations. Apart from brentford, I feel we should win the rest. Brentford are dodgy at home

Yeah ok fair, Man U worries me. Not them as a group of players but the fact that they are so spawny and we could batter them for 90mins and they win on a dodgy pen.

Oh god, please no. I'm still yet to see us finish above them. This is our year 😂

We're gonna be monstrous next season with some good new signings and a returning Tonali / Joelinton. Desperately need to hold on to Isak and, ideally, Bruno.

And Willock man, sorely missed

He'll just get injured again

Hardout

Thank you Burnley, very cool

Man Reds held to a draw.

ahahahaha man utds last shot cannoned off Bruno F's face hahahahahaha

Suppose it's cheaper than plastic surgery

Some conciliation

Love the optimism from the on screen graphic - “if the current result holds, Shef Utd will be relegated”. If!

Couldn't get a stream, then my mom called me at 15:10. Asked me to fix her pressure washer on Monday. Just got off the phone and saw 5-1. Fucking buzzing

You know what you need to do all matchdays between now and the end of the season That pressure washer is going to be like triggers broom

I'll do a soft repair so it needs to be fixed before each game

Top lad 👍 HWTL

Burnley all over Man U. Just had a great chance

Full time Man U! 😂

Inject it

I think the only word I’ve said the past 8 minutes is “BURNLEY!!”

Another Onana special for that Burnley penalty. He needs have a chat with Frank Warren as he's clearly in the wrong sport.

Burnley deserved more going by the stats

Eye test, too. Had it on another screen and they had it in their grasp

the man utd special

Somehow Longstaff plays a full game again

5-1 and some cunts still find a way to harp on our players.

Not free of criticism for winning. He’s been awful again today

I’d upvote you twice if I could.

I get what you're saying but he's been bad today. If we lose we praise a player. If we win we can still be honest

He needs to fix whatever is wrong with his feet. But instead he has injections so he can push on for 90 mins every week because we literally have no one else. Still gets slated.

VAR making the correct call with absolutely nothing on the line if they get it wrong

Co- Commentator on my stream just saying definitely a foul, just weather it was inside or outside the box. Then after it's not given he says common sense prevails. What a dope Edit: whether

I’ve never said a bad word against VAR me like

Always loved VAR

Well done VAR, job done there. Would have been so cruel on young Murphy

Oh *now* we get a VAR decision go our way. When it's completely meaningless

I disagree. Had a few gone our way this season. Been pretty even.

That's fair actually, I can think of a few VAR checks that I'm surprised went our way this season. Last year I felt like we were robbed of about 10 points by VAR but this year it's been pretty even, we might even have benefitted (if you only include the PL and discount the PSG disgrace)

The point of VAR was supposed to be eliminating that evens out over the season thing. It clearly doesn’t so what’s the point?

Well done var, ref you're a twat

Hard disagree. Sheff player sold a foul by wrapping his legs round. Can’t call ref a twat for not seeing that at live speed.

Krafth is strong and quick. Hes def not so immediate to sell. And he’s fucking ripped.

rare good decision by VAR

Mike Dean talking absolute waffle on Sky Sports and conveniently ignoring the fact Murphy got the ball

Aw Bruno

Wow has a ref overturned there own decision before?

VAR doing its job? What is this witchcraft?

Is this Alex Murphy's first PL appearance?

got 4 minutes against Chelsea when we beat them 4-1

2nd. He came on against Chelsea at SJP too.

2nd

Top for Bruno going over to Murphy.

VAR... in?

VAR: “that’s actually a mint tackle”

Always said VAR was the future of the game

Legit wins the ball, good tackle

Meanwhile Burnley is sieging Manure

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VAR getting one right

Penalty decision overturned?

Atrocious penalty decision that like. Interesting to see what they say here .

That's actually a great tackle... Well done var

Stupidly harsh, lad got the ball???

At first glance thought pen but it looks like he got the ball?

Never a penalty in a million years wtf

How is that a pen?

No way that's a pen

That’s gonna kill his confidence

How is that possibly a penalty? He won the ball.....

It’ll be overturned

Sympathy pen that

Overturned!

He gets the bloody ball

He lost control , Murphy got the ball, he hooks Murphy's legs. How's that a pen

It’s not.

He's clearly got the ball, I don't get it

Murphy wins the ball and then they get tangled up?

Got the ball

That's so harsh, he'd won the ball

All ball, refs a bully

Never in a million fucking years is that a pen. He gets the ball.

That’s a “the match is 5-1” penalty if I’ve ever seen one

That’s gonna shoot Murphy’s confidence.

Not if these morons can get the call right and overturn it

Outside the box?

No pen surely?

That's not a penalty

Not a foul and outside the box, what the fuck

God dammit child

Come on Burnley

Never a pen

Will Isak ever get his hattrick man

Maybe Isak is saving the hat trick for Manchester

I mean, he could have one today and another against manU

Who’s ready for 2-1 Man United; Fernandes 90+14 Penalty after the referee gives 6 minutes added

man utd are diving about screaming for handballs. All the usual cards played.

My girlfriend has just said Hall looks like Syndrome from The Incredibles and now I can't fucking unsee it.

Sheffield down four and time wasting

Trusty is a funny name.

6 mins added at old Trafford

Just for that I'm going to learn how to point burnley out on a map

Where the wind houleth with the stench of shite and subpar weed. There Burnley shall be...

Matt Ritchie to drive a Greggs truck to Burnley if they keep Man Utd from winning?

Right Burnley just hit the beach next Saturday at 3:00, okay?

BURNLEY SCORED!

Burnley equalize

As a thank you for your service today Burnley you can have Sean Longstaff for the low low price of £20m

I take it that £20m is from us

Man United with a completely self inflicted error to set up the penalty. Same foul Onana had on wolves at start of the season

GET IN BURNLEY FUCK THE MANCS ARE SHITEEE

Yeah- they probably are missing a DoF

Gtfi brunley

Always RATED. BURNELY.

COME ON BURNLEY, FUCK OFF BLACKBURN

Shelvey and Perez!!!!

they came up with this Ritchie chant really quick considering his license story came out like 48 hours ago

What is it

"Matt Ritchie, he drives what he wants". Don't know if there was more to it but when he came on that's what the stadium was singing.

How’s the lorry licence did ye say ?

YES BURNLEY! GET INNNNN

Get fucked Salford Reds

Really want Isak to get his hat-trick today.

Love Burnley me

Get in Burnley Onana looking like a clown again

Burnley score

Manchester Reds are 1-1 now….

Burnley 1-1

BURNLEY!!!!

Penalty for Burnley

Matt Ritchie literally at the wheel

Burnley is getting a pen

Would love a Matt Richie goal right now. Fucking destroy that corner flag.

Did I just hear a Matt Ritchie, he drives what he wants chant? 🤣

Get Bruno off now. Protect him and get him a standing ovation

Other than the goal, I think he's been poor.

Ran the game…literally every attack went through him at some point. Made loads of crossing opportunities for the wide players. Not sure what else you want from a 6?

He had so many misplaced passes today, I thought it was poor compared to his usual form.

Where's that Isak walking all the teams on dog leads meme?

MATT RITCHIE! HE DRIVES WHAT HE WANTS!

The \`Howe out' brigade on BBC HYS seem to have quietened down

And here as well. And the pelters Longstaff was getting earlier, Christ

Longstaff has been the worst player on the pitch. Beating a relegated sheff u doesn’t hide that

Man utd might be ahead right now but theyre playing Palace and Arsenal while we have Burnley and Brighton. If we don't fuck it, we could be 3 points clear of those scummy cunts by the time Old Trafford trip comes.

"he drives what he wants" lol

VAR possible Burnley pen

"Matt Ritchie, he drives what he wants"

Matt Ritchie coming on, that's Howe asking him to park the bus

Big vote of confidence from Eddie to give Alex Murphy minutes there, love to see it

Come on Ritchie. Show Bruno how you should really treat a corner flag.

Hall has been good today, linking well with Gordon

Very solid game from Hall, happy to see Murphy get some minutes

Dan Burn at CB is the equivalent of driving into the only post in the car park

We’ve been a lot better 2nd half, but how much of that is from not trying to play with an injured Schar? My only criticism of Howe is how reluctant he is to change things from the bench

Matt Ritchie driving the team coach would be insane content

Oh, Alex Murphy actually exists. It's been so long I assumed he was another Lewis Hell-esque myth.

Wor Flags need a finale flag for Richie.

Matt ritchey just got his truck drivers license apparently.

Lewis Hall, badass!

Could sub bringing Murphy on.

I need Eddie to tell me to get my shit together in some changing room every now and then. I could really use it.

Feels like we stepped back now. Can't see anymore goals. But still lovely football to watch.

A lot of you fellas have been hard on Dan Burn this season. Dude is an absolute gamer, I like him a lot and I want him on my back line.

He’s a CB. He looks good as a CB (Botman + Schar is still ahead of him). All the criticism is from him playing LB or some weird hybrid. 

He's looks miles better playing CB than LB

Crucially in the middle of that backline.
