Honest, hardworking competitors...and Man Citeh - OTT 43 [R]

So the max points Man U. can get is 69. That get's them into the CL 3 of the last 10 seasons and is still 15-20 points off what is needed to compete for the title. They are still a long way off even with this uptick in form. My question is can they be consistent? They need to at least be on two points per game to show any progress? So basically they need to make this 6 game run their new normal.

 

Hahaha.Yes.

Comedy gold

 

So - Chel$ki look to squeak by Norwich which gives them a bit of breathing room in third place (4 points)...but they've got Liverpool and Wolves yet to play...

 

ROFL just watched it. brilliant defending, he must have been terrified of an og.

 

Hahaha - I think he had his eyes closed and just grabbed the player in front of him - assuming it was the opponent...

 

I've been watching professional football for almost 70 years ... never seen that before.

 

I just realized I missed a key point. LC's excellent CB is out (red carded last game). no way will they beat MU in the last game without him.

 

Agree. LCFC are in trouble. Injuries to both wing backs and Maddison hurts, along with the loss of Soyuncu.

Up the Wolves!

 

I've turned my cheering attention from us beating Citeh's record to Manure not making top 4.

 

Did you see the joke VAR call which chalked off Palace's equaliser.

Its a Scam.

 

So utd get away with a blatant penalty.
Now palace has a goal called back for an offside toenail.
The league will do anything to have utd back in the top 4, won't they?

 

When a club falls from on-high, it can often be difficult, at the time, to pick the exact moment when they went over the hill, jumped the shark. Ferguson’s retirement is an obvious one, an easy one. United have never really been the same side since, though a convincing argument can be made that even had Ferguson stayed, United still would have been out of the running, given the size of the rebuilding that was needed.

But I do think it is possible to not only pick a precise moment, with Barcelona it is possible to pick an exact passage of play. “Corner taken quickly, Origi!!” was in my opinion the end of an era at Barcelona. They simply have not been the same side side since.

Yes, I think they did finish out La Liga, but that was against not great opposition. Real have just wrapped up this season’s La Liga and Barcelona have wilted pretty much across all competitions. A strong, determined, skilful side will take them. A clear out and a rebuild, because “Corner taken quickly, Origi!!” at that precise moment has shown a lot more than just conceding the winning goal.

 

I hate Leeds. Dirtiest team ever.

well, they were - about 50 years ago ....

 

FT 3-1. Good win for WH, that.
they should be OK at this point ... 12pts ahead of B'mouth with +12 better GD.

 

Wonderful. We get the pleasure of visits by the Leeds United Service Crew. A truly cultured lot.

 

Yes, it’s their love of Matisse that’s the most confounding.
