- @JustinCase0110 16 points clear of 4th: it's looking good.
Getting £2.3 million for a league 2 player is really good, too. I think they were in the second tier when they made their record purchases and sales.
It's a new-found financial confidence that 4 of their biggest purchases have been in 2024 and 2025... - Yes, I believe so too. But this club should also be confident, now they're (almost) certainly going to play in a superior tier next season. And with our experiences in the domestic cups, I see no reason to think that it's going to be a struggle up there. It's a bit early days, but back to back promotions is on the table, as I see it. Or perhaps it's just my recent 8-0, 6-0 and 7-0 wins that are talking and pushing my confidence beyond repair...
- @JustinCase0110 Tough sixth round match to come, against Villa.
Flying in the league - very good indeed.
Nice Duncan Edwards reference. Possibly would have been the greatest player - ever.

A huge part of me really wish the crash hadn't happened, and the world could have seen what this team - and this player in particular - could have accomplished. However, the crash and the myths are somehow also what separates Man United from so many other clubs. The way they rose from the ashes, and the way they've continued to honor the legacy of those players by continuing to put their trust in youth.
So perhaps the club wouldn't be the same if not for the crash. And perhaps the emotional attachment from fans wouldn't be the same. So maybe things happen for a reason. Still, I would very much like to be able to look into a crystal ball and see how the club and the players would have performed, if the crash hadn't happened.

Mega result against Newport. Sometimes they just go that way.
Hard luck against Villa, but not surprising really. It's funny how ex-players pop up so often, and in the 'baddie' role.
League One next season. Looks like you're going up as champions, too.
How strange, the way the game is treating Palace...

How strange, the way the game is treating Palace...Yes, Palace is a strange case! As I recall, they were the 2nd best team last season, after Chelsea, only to drop behind Fulham and Brentford in the end, eventually losing the playoffs too. I really expected them to take the first place easily this season, well, obviously I might have challenged them for it with my current amount of points. But to see them where they are, I can't really believe it.
I agree with the previous player thing. He was decent for me, but I never expected him to start for Villa against me, let alone decide the game. Glad it worked out that way though. It made for a good little story in the story, I think. Rather that than some random player sending me out.
