And winning at Man Utd.

The turnaround of the club has just been incredible.
Look at the team 3 yrs ago when we were in the champ.
Look at the team that took to the field at Newcastle on our first game after promotion compared to now.
The recruitment was ridiculed by the external media when we came up.
Our recruitment on the whole has been unbelievable.

Recruitment - I’d say most have been decent.
Shelvey - poor
Dennis - poor but did get us a few points
Lingard- poor but did raise the profile
Turner - would have been better getting hooch
Vlach- what a profit
Scarpa- just too lightweight- didn’t get enough chances - sold on - cost neutral
Obrien- someone told me we’ve actually made money on him in loan fees and wages saved
Richards - injury heartbreak - but weird that one
Can’t think of many more that haven’t contributed.

Scarpa was hard done by. I think he was playing with a Broken Heart at Olympiakos...
Lovely man with a lovely smile. Can't help thinking that he probably had a wand for a left foot.
Chicago: Hedging my bets.

I think for Scarpa it was simply too late in his career to join the Prem and I see O'brien has just won an MLS title.

Big European qualifier 6 pointer on Saturday as the table currently stands.

Everything about the club is improving. So many things you don't see, as well as the obvious on the pitch. EM definitely wants us to be the best we possibly can, in every facet of the club. What a journey so far, lets enjoy it and let's hope it continues!

After 19 games and if we are still 5th or 6th then i look forward to the dreaming of Europe thread, that is where we are.

The thing that's crazy this year is we dropped points at home to Bournemouth, Wolves and Fulham. Plus the Chelsea game where we somehow didn't score in the final few seconds.
We could legitimately be 2nd, getting hard to not get carried away at the moment!
