This is the positivity I like to see at least. If we win the remaining games we'd be very unlucky not to get Europa at least, and Champions league isn't an impossibility at all, certainly 'cause us winning out may well mean we pip Leicester considering how they are playing. Though as you say...
The key games could be Leicester vs United and also vs Chelsea. We really do need United to at least draw with them, assuming they beat Newcastle (dropping points against Newcastle would be a massive bonus). Then it means both teams having something to play for in the Chelsea Leicester game, and...
Ha, I did consider that could be a spanner the the old works. Though they might still have something to play for (um, huge stretch there though). But would the players without the fans really distinguish between us and Chelsea and choose to not bother so much to hand it to Chelsea, while playing...
All this talk of top 4 being 'done' was premature and mostly just an expression of the disdain for our performances, and the fact us winning out was/is unlikely given that. Truth is through, our toughest game is the Leicester one on the last day, and winning out the rest of the season is...
Think some might be a tad harsh on Mason. The Sissoko for Lo Celso shenanigans was a bit of a blunder though admittedly, no sense to that. But there was logic in most of the other calls. The players have just for the most part been a bit drab. Lamela should have got a chance, probably coming on...
Have some people forgotten that the second half and substitutions are a thing and factor into overall tactics and line-up decisions. I personally would probably have started Bale, but can see why he's gone this route.
Everyone saying no-one else from England would ever have a chance at this level forevermore ... isnt there supposed to be 5 extra slots per year? How does that work? Presumably the next best or two from England would go into a Champions League-esque qualifying round for it, so Everton and...
Just rehashing a bunch of what's been said already most likely, but its 1 a.m. so i'm sure I'm not disturbing anyone with my ramblings at this hour, but goodness gracious me. He clearly realised it was a foul, but wanted to try and find a touch on the ball by the Brighton player, knowing full...
Some reasonable comments here, but some buffoonery. 'Tottenham won't win the league because they haven't before'. Well must be only talking about the Prem there of course, and pretty sure that applied to last season's winners this time last year, and do I really need to say the word Leicester...
Livid beyond livid can be. Yes we should have won the game by a large margin already and this shouldn't have mattered in the context of the game (like the Southampton one last week). But this is still ridiculous, two weeks in a row now. Going by their silly faffiness of offside calls recently...
Some seem doubtful 'cause he's too good for us to sign or something, but outside of the obvious not going to happen links to megastars, we often have signed the decent players we've been linked with. Lamela springs to mind; he was highly rated when we signed him and a bunch of people here were...
Not saying this is happening at all, and as others have said, not sure it would be the best outcome for us anyway at this point. However, this talk about him preferring to play golf in Spain than come back here, and I mean that may be so, I can't speak for him, but he has the rest of his life to...
Has something we haven't really had since Ginola. Wanted Mahrez for the same reason. No idea how good he'll turn out in the end stepping up a level, but is exciting.
Wonder if Palace might be interested in Lamela as part of any potential deal? Lamela himself might not be against it, staying in London and the Prem and what have you.
It's probably been mentioned here a bunch, but do we know if we have any kinda of deals in place for Edwards and Onomah, buy backs and so on? I think it would have been a bit silly if we didn't. At least sell ons.
It's not like we are saying we are signing Dybala or whoever, there we've 'been before'. But replacing a non stellar first teamer sold for cash with someone else who probably won't be a mega star (though hopefully someone decent) isn't that far-fetched. I know that summer of no signings likes to...
Absolutely, more so if Gedson is also cute short, and even more so considering the Christian Eriksen shaped hole in the squad that still lets a draft in.
Is it wrong of me to fancy both Eze and Brooks coming in? Would give a bit of an injection to the squad in the creative attacking sense that we are sorely lacking, and options of course. Obviously unlikely to happen for obvious reasons, but a deep squad sure will be needed next year, certainly...
So are we at the point that it doesn't matter what Wolves do in the Europa. If they win it, Liverpool, Man C, Man U, Chelsea and Wolves get Champs, and Leicester and Spurs get straight Europa as long as Arsenal lose the cup. If Arsenal win the cup then they and Leicester get straight Europa and...
