Final
Finally getting round to this foregone conclusion! I could absolutely have used the semi-final results as is, but we'd better have a final for transparency's sake!
🏆 Birth of Duncan Edwards (1936):
Born in Dudley, Edwards became one of the greatest and most powerful players of his generation as one of the legendary "Busby Babes" before tragically passing away following the 1958 Munich air disaster.
Duncan Edwards remains one of the greatest "what-ifs" in football history.
Making his debut for Manchester United at just 16 in 1953, the powerhouse utility player quickly became the heart of Matt Busby's legendary "Busby Babes." Edwards possessed a rare combination of immense physical strength, elite passing, and ferocious shooting, which helped guide United to consecutive First Division titles in 1956 and 1957. He made 177 appearances and scored 21 goals for the club. Tragically, his astronomical rise was cut short at age 21 when he passed away from injuries sustained in the 1958 Munich air disaster.

Etihad threatening to sue. UAE reportedly intimating that UK investment could be pulled. A Prime Minister couching any criticisism. If this sorry saga doesn't convince you that state ownership of football clubs should never be allowed, nothing ever will.
Brighton beating Arsenal 3-0 doesn’t make the other night any less frustrating but it does show what a well drilled side Brighton are.
At least we scored two against them 🥴😅
And if Haaland gets injured, Pedro gets a knock, Van Dijk’s years catch up with him?
United far from the only club with a lack of cover, but that seems to have escaped the great and the good who pontificate on the game

James Milner didn’t bench Carlos Baleba like Brent has said.
He created a false narrative for his followers to abuse and target him. United fans don’t do that.
Stop listening to him.
