Think that's it now and city have done it. Can see them absolutely slamming Man U who are back to looking poor.
Brilliant for Liverpool to take it to the wire and it's been a great journey. Hope we can clinch the champions League as a softener.

Liverpool could slip up against any of the remaining teams...even the last game against Wolves will be really tough, considering how well Wolves have played this season and beaten Liverpool in the FA Cup. Barca will be a really tough match - not being beaten at the Nou Camp would be a great result.
Before this match started, I thought When Will Solskjaer Get The Sack? would make for an amusing thread - virtually every manager gets sacked eventually - but now it seems less of a joke.
Keep him there, he’s doing a fantastic job 😂Quote:

Maybe Jose was doing a good good job considering g what he had to work with? Hope utd bounce back against city.
Cannot believe how we played in the last 4 games against the top six Liverpool Chelsea Arsenal Man Utd 10 points and no goals conceded, yet the same players get turned over without a wimper at Fulham. That’s football
Yes, and C Palace next week will be a real test for Silva after the Fulham debacle.Quote:

As i have said before on this thread a truly entertaining and interesting end to the season given yesterday’s and today’s results now for me it’s what will we do against Burnley and really looking forward to the Manchester derby.
Targeting winning Europa League?Quote:

Agree that 3rd/4th in PL would give the comfort, but it seems that the focus is elsewhere, and Dick has previous experience in winning the Europa.
Arsenal's problem will be beating Chelsea in the Europa (Going by the bookies and likely outcomes). Chelsea may pip them to both the PL spot and the cup.
Dam,dam,dam i really thought that Brighton would get the draw we threw away a win against Burnley who i must say did what Burnley do so well.Hopefully City will do the business but maybe United will react to the Everton defeat.
All to play for.:smiley:
Just back. That was a tense one, but the win puts us in a strong position now (albeit that we should have sewn up third place already, which is bloody annoying).
Just back too.
Note to self. Do not go to Brighton games as inevitably they park the bus and make for a dull anti-football match. Ryan started wasting time from the 9th minute.
Spurs need to hit more on target too. 29 shots with 5 on target is poor. Son should have been playing through the middle instead of Llorente. The squad is threadbare with no options to change the game from the bench.
Tonight demonstrated just how poor Llorente is IMO. I’d rather give Janssen some game time - he can’t be any worse.Quote:

I wouldn't say he is poor as such .. but he was up against two central defenders who gave nothing away in Duffy and Dunk ... Son should have been played down the middleQuote:

Well, I think we may have to agree to differ... he’s not shown anything of quality that I’ve seen (and I’ve watched every match) and pretty much all his goals have either had an element of luck or have been the result of mistimed deflections off various parts of his body. He always looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights to me.Quote:

He has got us some important goals at times .. even if they come of his shoulder or <cough> arm :unconscious: .. but yes i hear ya ..Quote:

He works better as an impact sub. The problem is he is too static for the way we need to play. Janssen showed better movement and threat in the 10 minutes he was on.Quote:

The 2 CB for brighton I thought was outstanding, just a shame we couldn't get a break much earlier to amke it a more entertaining game. 11 men behind the ball and non stop time waisting from Brighton.
Thought Danny Rose was outstanding again last night, possibly the only stand out performance in a Spurs shirt, hope everyone lifts there game for Saturday. Can't see llorente starting that game.
What a stadium we now have, luckily enough to have a bit of corprate, in the Galvins resturant. Unbelivable.
Apparently 85% of United fans want them to loose tonight. Any points tonight gets them a lot closer to champs football. Would imagine if they do not there will be quite a few leaving united and If De gea goes they will plummet down that league.
Yepp, the United fan I sit next to echoes that. I find it Bizarre! Why make your competitors richer or more enticing to the worlds best players?Quote:

A goalkeeper cannot carry a team, they are frequently the difference in keeping a team in a game but loyalty, he is well rewarded and loyalty no longer exists in the Premier LeagueQuote:

He’s certainly been worth a lot of points. As was VDS and Pete before him. I don’t think you could say they carried us though. I’d think he’s well remunerated for his loyalty but the lure of the sun will soon become too much.Quote:

Last night's derby went pretty much as expected.
I expected us to show a hell of a lot more desire than the previous few games, and we did, but ultimately the better team will usually conquer.
And so it was.
What about Silva though? Probably my favourite PL player of the past 4/5 years.
