I wonder, does anyone outside of United’s orbit actually rate OGS as a coach? Like, you rarely ever see him on the sidelines actually doing anything. Usually just sits in his chair staring like a dope. His team follow almost the same pattern every week. They always go behind and then come roaring back to eventually win so it’s not like he often sets them up well from the start.

He just seems to be fortunate to have very good players in very specific positions to keep riding this wave all season. Fall behind, win. Fall behind, win. Over and over.

Hope it finally catches up with these bastards next season.

It's probably a combination of extreme ref bias and their good players. They have a relatively solid defence and very pacy attackers + penandes. I think any team with these base factors and this amount of "luck" in terms of ref decisions would do well.

Hopefully..I just hope somehow City doesn't mess this up cause that be to much...I expect next season to be a closer race. Hopefully involving us too

oh, it gets better

Henderson clearly fouled Watkins in the box

pen?

nooooooooooooooooooo

Watkins booked for diving, and sent off (2 yellow red)

it is insane

At least im kinda happy no one here can claim that we are loonies anymore......its clear as the sun that udt are pushed heavily by fa and pgmol, its inescapable.

[Pizy 18,538]

Come on, Everton. Don’t be useless today, ffs…

[Vesper 29,250]

I have mixed emotions about this game

IF I knew for sure that manure beats Leicester and Pool, and that we win 2 of last 3 (or better yet, all 3)

I would be for all in for West Ham, as they can knock out Pool and Leicester from next years Cl (the scouse vermin being the big one)

IF they (West Ham)win this, they could easily win the last 3 (BHA, West Brom, SOTON)

and finish on 70 points

we will pip them for 3rd on 70 via GD (for 3rd) with 2 wins and a loss or outright win 3rd with 2 wins and  draw (71) or 3 wins (73)

having no CL fucks Pool hard, and also Leicester to a point (and they have SO many players I covet, lol)

PLUS

West Ham in the CL means (I hope) Rice stays put and doesn't go to Manure this summer

I do realise I am wandering into cleverclogs territory with all this

 

[Pizy 18,538]

Yeah, Everton are shite. Can’t see them winning this. WH starting to carve through them. Everton have zero creativity in their team.

[Vesper 29,250]

nil 1

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

Wham have not really looked confident in their back 4. Richarlison and dcl have been happy to isolate them on the break. I’m let’s hope they can hold. Everton still have a suspect defense themselves 

[Vesper 29,250]

WH hit the post and then bollocks up the tap in

[Pizy 18,538]

Everton’s midfield is just totally nonexistent. They’ll be very fortunate if they can manage not to concede here.

[Milan 17,881]

Such a great, great weekend for Chels.

[Vesper 29,250]

this is not a bad result at all IF the following happen

1 West Ham win the next 3 (67 points)

2 Manure beat pool and Leicester

3  we beat Leicester in the EPL game

if that happens  the best Leicester and pool can end up on 66 points each

and the worst we can finish is 67 points (and thus beat west ham for 3rd on GD)

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

Get in!

now we only need Manure to get a result vs dippers and we are basically 3 points away from securing top4

[Pizy 18,538]

What a fucking week this has been for us.

[Tomo 21,740]

Not sure why anyone is/was worried about West Ham.

It's been obvious for weeks they don't have the bollox to see this through.

It is great to see a gap between us and them at last. As long as they were close or sometimes above, it was too stressful lol. This is the pillow we need.
