If Utd win europa league, would that end up having a better season than Spurs. 2 trophies and CL football next year against 2nd in league and the same CL football.

For the next year or two I'd imagine most rivals would try to suggest Spurs did better. But in time it'll go back to the history books. One team has 2 trophies and one had zero.

I know now what I'd deem more successful.

Not all players have been invited. Alan Brazil was saying on his show he had not been asked. No issue for him, in his words, as he wasn't there long. Maybe Defoe didn't meet the criteria?

Well that's pretty much secured 4th place for Liverpool as I can't see them not getting a result against relegated Boro.

I didn't think they'd hold out, they've enjoyed some good fortune but it's a results based league and so the table doesn't lie.

Tough gig for Utd later unless Spurs chuck in the towel now the race is over, otherwise it's 6th place for them and 5th for Arsenal who can't move anywhere with nailed on results going against them above.

Oh well, lets all look on the bright side, Wenger will be staying for another season at least, or until he gets them back into the CL and then he'll move on 😜 could be longer than 1 season 😂

Here fishy fishy tut tut tut:D

Are you sure your 6th at best comment was aimed at yernited and not Jerg's tricky reds :smirk: :smirk:

]I hope they do[/B]. It would just be funny watching Klopps excuses

I do too.............. I'm just glad the match is on Sunday :rofl:

As for Klopp's excuses he's obviously been listening to Mourinho cover up for failing with one of Europe's most expensive squad.

mourinho has only really moaned about the number of games we've had to play. Usually it wouldn't not be a problem, but the number of injuries included have made it tough. I think it's been 17 games in 7 or 8 weeks. Happens when you get to latter stages though I suppose

Ive been to a lot of the home games this year and we aren't as far away as people want to believe. I've never seen us walk into so many world class performances from goal keepers and CBs. The number of chances we were creating at home is up hugely from the LVG reign and we just needed to be more clinical. At one point we drew about 4 or 5 games with an average shots per game of 25-30. I don't remember us having 25 shots at home all season under LVG

on the other side, if anyone is ever looking for hospitality tickets to united at a really good price let me know

The only credible argument Mourinho has is kick off times at 12noon on a Sunday when you've just played away in Europe on a Thursday night. Its unfair and it gives the lesser successful side an advantage.

As for your other points, that squad that JM has at his disposal should have done better this season especially at home.

Ywah they should have. I'm as frustrated as anyone with the amount I've spent. I just can't see the same performances against us again, the Heaton one got all the praise in the press but the Stoke keeper had a better game against us.

I think it was just down to being clinical, it's like the players don't go through shooting drills when they aim for the corners. We will bring in a few more players, get rid of some of the deadwood (please fellaini just go) and hopefully be better next season.

Next season will be interesting. Liverpool and Chelsea with the additional games Europe brings, city spending, do arsenal keep Ozil and Sanchez, how do Chelsea replace costa

How many games this season and past has De Gea been your man of the match? He has saved you 10-15 points pretty much every season since he joined. You can't complain about other keepers having the match of their lives when your own keeper is as good as he is.

Is the only answer to yernited's downfall this year.

Playing forwards as defenders doesn't help neither :whistle:

Through gritted teeth. I find my self agreeing with a red. Sime of the keepers performances at City this year have been excellent. Differance is utd kepper saves them points. Ours dont. ☹️ Praying to god we get him from AC Milan.
