People complained about odd Critchley team selections. He was an amateur compared to Posticoglou. Massive game against Liverpool at Anfield so he picks a 3 man midfield including 2 teenagers and an untried centre half pairing one of whom is a left back. It’s been that way all season which is why he’s going to be booking flights back to Australia in a few weeks. 

Focusing on the Europa.

Yep. He can’t save his job but at least he can do a bit of damage limitation on his reputation.

Dogface always looked about 30 years older than he was even when playing.

Could be Scotland too

 

 

The three previous seasons were won by Chelsea and Leicester

 

Arsenal should have strengthened up front in Jan. They could have been realistic.

Man City losing Rodri seemed to really knock the shit out of Pep.

They're back again though.

 

Huge summers for Arsenal and NU to get solid signings in.

[Tommy Brown]

@Tazio won't like

@Seaside Dave will

The Europa has become the only possible saving grace for Man U. They need CL money badly and will put everything into trying to win the Europa to qualify. Currently on 39 points after 34 games champions Liverpool more than double that tally on 82 points.

 

And to bolster it Liverpool have also scored more than twice as many goals. Man U 39 goals v Liverpool 80 goals. Man U have a negative GD of -8 while Liverpool are on +48. That's one helluva gap and especially so when you consider Liverpool will likely strengthen for next season. They know they're getting their CL wedge.

Bizarrely only 5 teams have scored more than 60 goals so far. The top 4 in the table…and Spurs.

I'm holding out hope that Bodø/Glimt might pull off an upset and get to the final. 

[Mikey1874]

Luton doing the double relegation to League One.

 

Losing 5-1 currently. Still other results could save them.

Wonder if Arteta in danger of losing his job at Arsenal. Didn't bother signing a forward at end of last season, appears incapable of changing tactics and allowing a good squad to drift away.

Guess if the get past PSG then that changes everything but that's unlikely.

Second Bournemouth goal was most likely handball but VAR didn't want to get involved.

Similar to hearts season this arsenal one. Looked safe for champs league, hearts in prem. In semi final champs, semi final cup, don't lose the semi or you could get sacked. One lost semi got sacked. Other ones up on Wednesday. I think if miss out on champs league they would sack him. It's hard to watch arsenal at times. Last season was the same but you're winning games and taking title race to final game so you don't care. Leagues over by March and now its more noticable as a fan 

[jock _turd]

Man U getting taken apart😁

[periodictabledancer]

Third time lucky for the Geordies? 

[Malinga the Swinga]

Must be difficult for Gordon and Willock to play professional football with their disabilities. 

 

Every time anyone goes near them, they just fall over and roll about in pain.

 

Thank goodness for VAR as the referee in Brighton game hasn't got a decision right in the game.

[jock _turd]

Man U two goals out of nothing!

[Bongo 1874]

Better second half but lucky to get a 1-1 draw there Brighton for large parts had us sussed!! Need to up our game against Chelsea hope Eddie is telling them despite the cup win, this season is a failure if we throw away the chance of getting Champions League football.

[Mikey1874]

Champions League qualifier.

 

Nottingham Forest to miss out I think.

They were doing quite well for a while.

Newcastle might get 2nd...this would be brilliant. Even 3rd would be a brilliant achievement.

Man Ure.

Nice the Leicester fans ended up with something from the season.

Forest owner ranting at the manager on the pitch

 

  Not sure how much more he could have asked of the manager and players this season, they've been fantastic.

Manager should have done the old school wrestling move by dropping to his knees and grabbing his huge fat belly with both hands…and squeezing as hard as he could.

Spoilt weirdo.

Another red card for The Arsenal

 

 Most red cards of any team this year (6)

 

 

[Mikey1874]

Liverpool fans got to boo Alexander Trent-Arnold so it's been a good day for them.

 

 

[Seaside Dave]

Disappointed isn't outrage on here over Nunez diving after miscontrolling the ball. Scandalous. 

 

Poor first half from arsenal 2 down 

Better second half from arsenal 2_2 

 

Could have won it at the end. Could have lost it at the end.

Unreal ending to Sunderland v Coventry

[HMFC01]

Wtf kind of header was that😆

 

Unbelievable ending.

[Fitzroy Pointon]

Limbs, scenes etc 

[Mikey1874]

Was going to get the Ellis Simms thread.

 

Simms unused sub in both games by super Frank Lampard.

 

Sheffield United v Sunderland is the correct result as the definite 3rd and 4th best teams in the league.

Return of the Tyne-Wear Derby would be a great thing for the Premier League though. 

 

Sunderland have been my bogey team on bets for years, so I don't necessarily think they deserve it...

 

But it would be good!

Whoever wins has a good chance of beating Derby’s lowest ever PL points tally.

Normally I would agree but Newcastle have moved to another level. Could see it being quite one-sided.

Awuniyi of Nottingham Forest in an induced coma due to injury sustained in a collision with the goal post.

 

The phase of play was so clearly offside and could have been avoided if the linesewoman had flagged it.

 

Is this the most serious injury yet due to these stupid guidelines.

 

I'm not even sure what the point of line judges is these days.

Horrendous, I just came on to post it too

 

Agree about the offside, so clear that allowing play to continue was beyond stupid.

[JFK-1]

It's now two consecutive seasons in which the 3 promoted sides were all immediately sent back down. It's getting harder all the time to stay in the league or even get the chance to be promoted when you're competing against sides who have 'parachute payments'

[Dallas Green]

Scary what happened with Awoniyi. Hope he makes a full recovery. People have said for years that a serious injury would occur from these rules. I get it when it's tight but he was very clearly offside here.

Wasn't so much him running into the post as being slammed into it by a Leicester player.

I'm positive Simms would have been more of a threat than Haji Wright who was terrible last night,
