Two biggest culprits today were Matic first of all, who's a bigger liablity defensively than Fabregas these days, as hard as that is to believe. Playing like a blindfolded giraffe who couldn't be arsed. He needs to *bleep* off.

And then Costa. My God, Costa. That's at least 11 straight absolutely shit performances from him now. He needs to get his bags and *bleep* off to China. I'd bite the hands off the highest Chinese bidder in the summer, seeing as they're still eager to get him and apparently more Chinese clubs will make offers. I've never seen such a low IQ striker who's supposed to be a "top striker". Christ!
80% of our attacks since January break down once the ball gets to Costa. It's probably the number one reason we haven't been blowing teams out the past few months. I'm sick and tired of him. I've had it. He needs to leave. I don't have the patience for a striker who only shows up for 40% of the season. There are so many things I could say about him, I don't even know where to start. Bottom line is he needs to be sold in the summer. I have a lot of reservations about Lukaku but I'd jump at the chance to replace Costa with him right now. I'm not even sure Mitchy can play worse right now.

Funny though that despite all of that, United scored off a goal that shouldn't have counted and a deflection. Regardless, they deserved to win today. I hope Anderletch knock them out on Thursday so they have no reason to roll over for Spurs when they play at Old Trafford.

Lol werent you the same guy who was saying Chelsea SHOULD HAVE won that FA cup match by a convincing scoreline HAD NOT for DDG and your poor finishing. Really not surprising to read this part therefore. Proud

The 'traitor' who has finished at the top level completely and utterly PWNED the best coach in the league using his B team. At least we had an excuse that day in the form of a sending off. Laughing

You seriously want to go the route of slating the goals we scored today? You werent even in the picture lad. :coffee:

You had zero shots on goal. ZERO... against a defense that had Rojo and Darmian. Go figure.
Not to mention the number of chances we kept on missing (as with the case this season), So speaking your own language, HAD those chances been converted we could have won this game by minimum half a dozen goals. So,kindly take your bitter bs somewhere else and learn to admit when you are being outplayed.

Brighton can be promoted today if they win and Huddersfield lose. If both win, Brighton will be all-but promoted due to their vastly superior goal difference.

Newcastle still need at least two more wins before they're promoted.

The play-off places are occupied by Huddersfield, Reading, Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday. Only Fulham have a realistic shot of getting in.

Anyone but Reading and Fulham coming up would be cool with me.

Yea, extra london derby with Fulham. Reading would be okay though what's wrong with them? We always spank them.

Would like Huddersfield to come up though, in my time, haven't seen them in the PL yet.

Well Fulham have a decent manager so I won't mind them coming up.

Brighton won their match
Reading won too

Derby-Huddersfield is going to be a goalfest

Newcastle lost 2-1

by Firenze Mon Apr 17, 2017 5:08 pm

Newcastle should have and were expected to blow away the league. Far better players, top, top manager. Embarrassing @Mole

Surely nothing but an Arsenal win tonight. Want them to lose horrifically for the banter doe

by RealGunner Mon Apr 17, 2017 5:45 pm

Yea we should win comfortably.

Reading are just this yo-yo club that come up, do nothing of note and disappear again for the next two-three years. I like seeing new teams come up or teams who've been away for ages.

Huddersfield leading Derby. If it stays like this, they'll cut the gap on Newcastle to five points with a game in hand. Could just be two points before too long.

Newcastle not quite winning the league with 100+ points as predicted hmm

Also, Portsmouth were promoted from League 2 today. They're finally on the up as a club again after years of shit management.

No we shouldn't.

The only players who are above Championship level we have are Shelvey, Gayle and Ritchie.

The rest are not that good at all, it's proven every single week when those players carry us to wins while the rest do *bleep* all.

If you watched us on a consistent basis you'd realise this too, because players have PL experience or a biggish name doesn't mean they are too good or anything.

I'm disappointed in some of them personally but the reality is they are not that good.

by Jay29 Mon Apr 17, 2017 6:49 pm

A late Derby equaliser. Huge goal.

by Kaladin Mon Apr 17, 2017 6:53 pm

HOLY SHIT

4 point difference between Chelsea and SPurs Shocked

Why isnt anyone talking about this?!

Spurs legit has a chance at the title with 6 games left to play.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Apr 17, 2017 6:53 pm

Because it's Spurs.

by Tomwin Lannister Mon Apr 17, 2017 6:59 pm

If I had bet on Spurs to win the league and they were 2-0 up against Sunderland on match day 38 and only needed a draw i'd still hit cash out if it was before the 85' minute.

Chances are they'll lose their next game whoever they play and win the last game of the season 4-0 when it's irrelevant.

by Jay29 Mon Apr 17, 2017 7:01 pm

Arsenal going three at the back:

Cech; Gabriel, Koscielny, Holding; Chamberlain, Ramsey, Xhaka, Monreal; Ozil, Alexis; Giroud

Ty

has a higher market value than Monreal that's for sure.

by Firenze Mon Apr 17, 2017 7:30 pm

Need Boro to take something tonight. We still have to play City, Arsenal and Spurs. Need to lock up 5th for the season and not have to worry about winning all of those games IMO. ANything but 6th. Would even take 7th.

I'm trying to watch this match but for some strange reason I keep getting repelled by looking at it for longer than 15 seconds. It's somehow a really repellant match

by Jay29 Mon Apr 17, 2017 8:35 pm

It's been awful from both teams. Neither team looks capable of creating a good chance.
