    Giroud obviously saving the goals for Europe. Two absolute gifts.

    And so it came to pass.

    Will no doubt annoy those who think sentiment has no part to play but nice gesture. Let's hope he keeps his nose and sheet clean :)

    Glad to see Gary get on at the end. Annoying move in US tv coverage to immediately switch to the Huddersfield-Manchester coverage instead of sticking with the post-match scenes at the Bridge when we could just switch channels if we wanted to watch that game.

    We are such a much better better better team with RLC.

    (who Sarri brilliantly groomed with his 294 minutes in th first 25 matches (11.6 a match) and 1 start in first 32, who did not start today nor against Liverpool)

    If the sorri clown stays I pray Real Madrid refuses to give us Koviac, if we have a ban in summer we don't have an option do we

    3-0 nice result. Ole at United even better. Felt sorry for Watford today with that bizarre offside goal. RLC is really something, so happy to have him in the team. We look more likely to score with him on the pitch. Hazard had another quiet game by his standards. So sad to lose Kante for what looks like the rest of the season.

    RLC is not always the tidiest with his passing (which obviously is an issue for this system) but two big counters to that:
    1) jorginho also isnt all that careful. When he gives it away its often in really dangerous situations. I'm sure the stats will show a high completion but he puts the entire team on the back foot when he lays it up for the other team.
    2) RLC is so good running at defenders with the ball (another thing the system discourages with its pass first mentality) that you have to take advantage of that as a manager. Put him in a position to succeed as it's so obvious how good he is at the thing that causes defenders more nightmares than anything else. A physical player, good with his feet, bearing down on them and giving them nowhere to hide.

    If we don’t have top 4 locked up I wouldn’t, also wouldn’t if we don’t have the EL Final locked up. It’s a ruthless sport and Cahill knows that. His comments about Sarri shouldn’t have been said while the season is still going. It’s now a distraction.

    Not sure how we managed to win that by 3 but I'll take it. If Ars fail to win we have 'made it' into next years Champions League.

    It won’t be 100% but it will be close to it. We’re only plus 4.

    Bugger it, they've scored already. Given a bullsh*t penalty.

    Yea you’re right. I was think if they win we just need tie and not give up goal dif. Spurs got Everton left tho and they’ll be getting after them.

    He already played his last game at the bridge. Dont think anyone was pushing for him to get a start next week at Leicester.

    I wasn’t referring to the next game, which is away. Only referring to today’s when there were 15 minutes left with us up by 3. I do agree the timing on his interview with Matt Law was poorly chosen and unnecessary.
