I'm sorry, been trying to stay away but it's remarkable Israel is able to market itself as the victim in this 'conflict' in light of what's been done to Palestine. Any anybody who questions that is automatically anti-semitic? Or is someone that wants Israel wiped off the map?

Overthrow them with what? They struggle for basic necessities in the best of times. And do you think another Hamas would not arise if this one was wiped out? Considering the history of what Israel has been doing there, considering what they've done in the last 2 weeks? Don't we learn anything at all from history? The moment we assign equal value to lives on either side, things become a lot simpler. The moment we start thinking its sad but possibly unavoidable for certain innocent lives to be lost to protect certain other innocent ones, we are lost. Somewhere else you said Hamas and Israel are not equal. Right. Lets look at the body count since this episode started, lets also look at it over the last 70 years or so as well. But here's the catch, each civilian life equals 1 regardless of which side. I'll say this. If hate is throwing billions of dollars and latest weaponry at them whilst ignoring countless war crimes and openly genocidal statements from their officials, then I wish the world would hate the Palestinians a bit more too.

Many of these experts also automatically attribute our wins to graft and intensity, with little weight given to the quality that now runs through the squad. Fine by me though, they can live in denial a little while longer hoping for their precious ManU to get their act together.

The only point I was trying to make is that whilst they are obviously a quality side there are far more successful ones in recent Champions League seasons. I don't think that can be debated really? I'm not saying it should distract from the fact that the team has given a great account of themselves over the first 3 games. But there's tougher European opposition to come if we make it through. Which is why all of this, even tonight's defeat, is an important part of the evolution as we look to become regulars at this stage. Just gota remember to enjoy all of it. We just played freaking Dortmund at St James' in the champions league. It's been 2 years since Steve Bruce was manager and we were diving headfirst into the championship

I remember reading they've lost 5 out of the last 7 away in Europe or something like that. They were very good on the day without a doubt but it's not like we faced Real Madrid at their best. Absolutely no need to dwell too much on the defeat. Take it as part of the learning process, the evolution and move on. We're very much in the mix, 3 games to go. These lads will bounce back and get another result or two.

Groin recurrence for Isak apparently based on Eddie's comments. Doesn't sound good.

Not seemed himself at all since his return. A bit like Isak. Seems its not easy catching up on Eddie Howe match fitness levels. I hope to hell Willock will have an easier time of it and he's been out a while.

Love Wilson me but we're a completely different side with Isak in full flow. Getting him fit and running has to be top priority. Alongside signing a right winger in January.

Frustrating night, we were not at our best but still a good performance, luck not at our side tonight. Huge miss from Wilson too, he would score that 99 out of 100 times. Hope Isak and Murphy are not out for long.

Miggy can fuck right off with that btw

Just ffs man. FFS

Just 4 minutes with all the subs?

FFS bar, not our day this

He's looking right at it as well what an areshole

Freaking joke of a ref, Wilson is held there.

Schar thunderbastard loading

Good pressure just need to get a goal from somewhere, draw not the worst result here.

This prick of a ref has given us nothing whole game.

Targett getting in ahead of Hall is interesting. Turning out to be a shite day so far with Murphy injured too.

Wilson not having a great day either. Might be one of those days.

Or not. Murphy and Tonali getting on

Yeah not sure what Joe is offering at his minute. Looks like Eddie will stick to his 75th minute thing though

What a challenge again from Schar it was to set up that chance.

Ffs Wilson that was a sitter

Yup. Get Anderson/Tonali and Murphy on. Hope Howe won't will till the 75th minute.
