Won't be enough time to do it for this season. Depends how bad it is as to whether it happens in the future.

Speaks the suddenly hopeful Terriers fan...
HMRC has put clubs in receivership for non-payment of taxes before (IIRC it was them that put the final nail in yer Quakers' coffin), but this looks more like a not wanting to pay dealy rather than a can't pay.
Yer Irons and yer Geordies must be up there in the "owned by moist and gaping ******s" front. The Glazers seem faintly dodgy, but Fenway seem fairly decent as owners go. Definitely a step up from the Hicks/Gillette era.
Actually have a soft spot for West Ham as a team tho (the academy, isn't it?); Newcastle, not so much.
EDIT: the medical term for female genitalia is filtered now then, huh? Is "snatch" ok still?
2nd EDIT: Apparently so. "Snatch" it is then...

Haha I thought Arsenal were absolutely terrible and Leicester were barely even trying. Shocking against Boro too. They're games that any team hoping to stay up would be targeting, something is badly wrong if a top-four contender needs that amount of luck to win them.
The results seem to have convinced Wenger that a back 3 is a good idea though, which might benefit United since we have to go to the Emirates in a few weeks.

Oh yeah? When did that start? I hadn't watched many of their games until recently but breaking down **** teams is a traditional strength.

Haha in my mind it's been a thing for nearly 20 years. Wenger has moaned about oppo parking the bus and Arsenal being unable to deal with it since at least 2002.

Yeah, it probably just feels that way. Scoring against teams that park the bus is hard for everybody. But Arsenal have been excellent at it pretty much since Wenger arrived. It's how they keep finishing so high up the table with a comically dire record in big games.

Özil's not had a good season and Alexis has tailed off quite a lot from playing like Messi up until January, which are both problems. It's still baffling though. We didn't have big name players in 12/13 either but it was never this bad. Thought the three at the back shape actually worked alright in this game but playing genuine fullbacks as the wingbacks and Coquelin as one of the midfield two meant there just weren't that many good attacking players. Last two games are the best we've been defensively for a while though.

Have a feeling Bale might come back to the Premier League this summer. Struggling to stay fit and Madrid have a ton of unbelievable young squad players who produce the goods every time they're on the field. It's the least he and Ronaldo have contributed in a league since they arrived and will probably be Madrid's first title since 2012, which is funny.
