At least they got the money.

There goes any hope of 4th place then.

The situation is obviously the owners' fault and yet Emery will end up taking the blame in the longer term as managers usually do.

 

[sledger]

A sub-par second half of the season and the loss of Ramsey would likely mean he starts next season under a huge amount of pressure. Especially if the Ozil situation is not resolved in an agreeable way.

I can’t remember the last time I saw a scoreline and my immediate reaction was ‘well that’s just harsh’.

Last Friday surely

What do you and other Arsenal fans make of the Ozil situation? He's had various "injuries" meaning he hasn't played when he otherwise would've. Add to that Emery saying he hasn't played him in other games due to tactics. And then there's the whole thing of the board regretting giving him such a big wage given how it's affected Ramsey's wage demands. Could it be best to sell him for a big price if possible because of these issues and Arsenal fans seemingly annoyed at selling great players for less than they could have?

He's an elite tier talent. If it doesn't work out with him then it will be extremely regrettable.

Euro tv.

My lots game v Stoke is on in Croatia apparently.

Couldn't see any cameras there at all so bet the coverage was pretty weak!

Bielsa buying into the make Leeds controversial band wagon

 

[duffer]

That felt all too familiar.

Oh man.

 

[andmark]

The Spurs vs United game should be interesting. With Mourinho, the result and style of game would be obvious, but with Solskjaer it could actually be fun although the United defence will need some covering. A 4-2-3-1 could make sense for them then, offering two holding midfielders to support the centre backs whilst the four more attacking players could be allowed license to really get forward and be fluid.

 

[Furball]

For some reason it feels like the sort of game where United won't play that well but will score plenty on the counter in the last half hour.

 

[Uppercut]

I don't think Solskjaer will try anything fancy, maybe keep it slightly tighter than in previous weeks without going full Mourinho. An open game doesn't suit us because Spurs's front three are much better than ours.

 

[Tangles]

Ole passes the first test then. Good game to watch. DDG huge again.

 

[Furball]

Is Rashford starting to reach his potential now?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So Spurs faint title hopes are over and United have real hope of a Champions League place. Ole done an amazing job really considering how clueless he looked at Cardiff.

 

[andmark]

Football fans can be hilariously bitter after a loss. Some Spurs fan went on the BBC phone-in, ranting about all sorts and slagging Chris Sutton off. "Chris, you played for Blackburn"
"Yeah, and we won the league."

 

[Burgey]

I don't watch much if any English football these days, but obviously check in on the scores. What's been the difference at United since Ole took over, removal of poisonous relationships aside? Have they changed their fomrations or style much, or is it just a case of blokes having a dig, which they weren't prepared to do for Mourinho?
