This is all very quiet...

I'd have expected LPP and Stu to be doing laps with their shirts over their heads while Sawtooth, Fundy and Murph shed a tear or two as Tashy sits smugly......😙

:rofl: You've got no chance of LPool fans celebrating 4th after the stick they've given Arsenal fans about finishing there :rofl:

The League doesn't lie and teams have finished were they've deserved to.

Chelsea far and above the best team and I hope they do the double, Conte is a class act imo.

As for Everton, better than what I would of accepted in Koeman's first season, very impressed with him and, again, imo I think we'll be the dark horses in and around the top 4 next season.

Satisfactory season for us. Gutted about the final as we deserved better imo.

Think next season will will depend on how we do in the transfer market. I think Everton could be the same. If they now get asset stripped then the hard work starts again.

Id be amazed if either club has their main star still there in ausgust. Not sure how many more cb's we can find and sell to Liverpool.

Great display by Spurs today. Hope they get over the Wembley jinx and keep the team together as Kane and Ali are a partnership that would be great for England for a decade.

Would any Gooners take an FA Cup Final defeat simply in order to force Wenger out or is that out of the question? - you've won it twice recently anyway. If Arsenal do win the Cup it gives Arsene a lifeline (if he wants one). No Champions League is going to hurt for Arsenal fans next season so used to big European nights every season, may even prevent summer recruitment, cause a few to leave even.

United actually played some decent football today, it was refreshing to watch and good to see some of the nippers having a game.
Overall, the season has been very poor and only Wednesday's final can salvage anything from this season.
We were unfortunate with injuries, especially Zlatan, but that's no excuse ............... all teams get injuries.
A Europa League win will, to a certain extent, just paper over the cracks.
United need to rediscover their swagger and confidence, which will only come with a win on Wednesday, a couple of good signings, a change of attitude from Moanrinho and a bloody good pre-season.
Here's hoping!!

League Cup 10/10
FA Cup 8/10
Europa League 7/10 or 10/10 depending on Wednesday.
Premier League 3/10

yep and have said similar, problem is with Wenger, winning FA Cup may be enough for him to go out on a high or it could tempt him to stay, really dont know what goes through his mind these days!

i actually think united were okay in the league. If you look at this season compared to any other since Sir Alex left it's been much much better. We've just been very wasteful in front of goal. We were actually creating 15-20+ chances in most of the games we drew. I'm not happy with the league position, but I wouldn't say it's been a 3/10 season in the league.

I wouldnt say the league cup would have been a 10/10. I was at the final and we stumbled over the line. We played worse in that game than most of the home games we drew

No way and I don't see why there's need for change to be honest. I think Wenger will strengthen in Summer more than ever before , play kids in the Europa League and have a crack at the title next year.

Rightly so, we've improved on last season and have got closer to CL Football next season and in the context of the season and with the squad we've got it's been relatively successful. But there's no point qualifying for it if we don't get out of the group stages.

I'd take a FA Cup win over 4th in league all day long. :whistle:

Trophies in the cabinet is much important than qualifying for the CL just to make up the numbers.

I'm going to miss this fella over the next few months :D.
