Not heard much about anything else. Pretty much...though Everton v Man U is pretty intriguing. El Crappico that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Chris Wood scored a goal. Newcastle 10 points clear of the bottom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flo Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Everton and Man U are so poor. How are Man U not near the bottom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Didn't see that coming for Everton tbh Hopefully they've turned a corner both everton and utd are like different level versions of each other Huge systemic problems that seem to go so deep they can't get on an even keel If Everton stay up then lampard will get probably until january to make a case for him staying in the role F*ck knows where utd go from here They need major extensive surgery - not just a few more sticking plasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Are Spurs gonna get genuinely competitive - or are they just being Spurs.... I hope they finish 4th - probably too late to catch Chelsea for 3rd Them and Arsenal seem to polarise each other - one does well the other fades and vice versa Watched Arsenal a couple of weeks ago v Watford and they looked rubbish i thought - rescued by a cameo from Saka Lacayzette was embarrassing - if thats their skipper and he sets the template then theres no wonder they're dropping like a stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poorly run on the football side with squads put together with no plan, going nowhere. Man U with the higher expectations obviously. Side note: I think Everton were in better ‘form’ than Man U prior to today’s game… and since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Still find it ridiculous that Man U let Conte get away from them. He’s a top level elite manager. Shows where the Glazers priority is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Neville spouting all that nonsense about him not being right for Man U etc. Tbf to Neville, I think his point (in part) was that a manager like Conte would never work within the structure (or lack thereof) that the Glazers have implemented. Essentially. the Glazers want a yes man who will hopefully get them Champions League football most seasons. As manager of Manchester United, Antonio Conte would be expecting to have the resources to compete with City and Liverpool.

That’s not unreasonable to be fair - a club like Man United should be competing at the top. Still funny to see how bad they are though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 What a terrible result for Burnley today especially with Everton winning. Really enjoy watching Spurs. Hope they get the 4th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffield_dave Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 This is an incredible game. Possibly the two best teams in the world at the minute, incredible tension and quality, but a few moments that wouldn't look out of place in a kids game.

Kopparberg Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Some incredible sharpness and ball control on show. Played in quite a ‘throw caution to the wind’ way. We got some goals out of it too. I thought Cancelo was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they get the 4th place. This is why the bottom 3 positions can still change quite a it Nobody is taking control - just when you think a team have done enough to sort themselves out they fall back again As daft as it may look Watford are still in with a decent shout - they have some winnable games coming up - their form suggests they won't win - but it's far from the bounds of credulity that they can get those points Leeds look a win away from certain safety - newcastle look safe But everton, burnley, watford and norwich all have chances Obviously it's in Everton's hands but their form has been so wretched and they have a tough run of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
