Boys I was going to come on here and have a go at you. but unfortunately I can't as they say people in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones. tis sad cause if we put United and arsenal players together we still wouldn't have a good side.
And if we go back a few years and then put the 2 sides together we would probably have the best side in Europe
Tis sad when players don't play with a bit of heart and a bit of aggression.
The only good is we might be very active in the transfer market.
And to be fair spurs are a good side.
I would like to see them win it but can't see Chelsea slipping up now.

Fairplay Leahy.

The only positive to our season is you are as bad as us, lol.

Utd are on the up compared to anytime since Fergie left, league cup in the bag plus Europa league success extremely likely as is a champions league place imo, all in their managers first season.
As for Arsenal! What can be said?
An ever declining points total under the same manager that has failed to compete for over a decade, oh there is an FA cup final to be held up as success this season but let's be 100% truthful about even this achievement as it's included wins against not one but two non league teams who managed unprecedented success to reach the latter stages of this seasons competition and Arsenal had the unprecedented luck to draw both in he last 16 and last 8, no one can say luck hasn't been on Arsenals​ side this season on many occasions in many competions.
I really don't see any comparisons between utd and Arsenals seasons at all, I'd say Utd are making good progress in Mourinho first season.

Gunner the bus has been parked way too much. today we were lucky not to lose to Swansea, too many draws. our football is like watching West Brom.
Top four should be the least for this season but I don't think we will make the top 4 now.
Our hopes lie in Europa to get us in the champions league. and for me champions league is a must.

Hi mate Mourinho isn't known for his outstandingly​ attractive football but he is known for getting the job done and done quickly, it's year 1 and although you are not the prettiest team to watch you are still a big improvement on LVGs utd teams displays.
If this time next season you aren't sitting comfortably in the top 4 then I will be surprised ( pleasantly so :-) but still surprised.
I'd give Mourinho an 8/ 10 for his first season ( and he is far from my favourite football manager at all ) but you've got silverware already this season plus the premier league's​ most successful side in Europe this season and I most definitely think you will make top 4 too.
If Arsene had done as well as Mourinho has this season the Arsene out campaign would be much much weaker in numbers, and he's had 20 years to make it happen apposed to 1.
Leahy I think you will find we are having much much much more miserable season than you and I'd appreciate it if stopped​ keep trying to cheer us up and let us at least be champions at something even if it is moaning :-)

Guy's,
Fear not. I just looked at table, I tippexed out the 60 points we have and put 70 points in black biro, so we are 3rd.

Not sure if FA will recognise this as being legal, but will check league table tomorrow morning.

In Dags we trust.

It's the raver coming through in his famous Subaru tanked up on Malibu, Spandau ballet, dale Winton, leathal bizzle, piers Morgan, Sonia and martin fowler and my favourite gooner R. G., you boys were totally outclassed and were chasing shadows all afternoon and the score could have been 5 or 6 if it wasn't for cech. R. G. for every pint and line I have tonight in Stringfellows I'll be thinking of you and i love it. But before I abuse my body I will line it with a lovely mr Kipling cake as the ravers having an exceedingly good day R. G. 17 points lol.

You got to love this guy 😂.

Well done Raver mate it's been a very long time coming for you boys enjoy it.
George Graham was once asked "what now " by a journalist​ immediately after a 20 odd unbeaten run of games came to an end at Chelsea, George simply responed ' we start another run "
Enjoy your time in the limelight Raver mate you've most definitely the very firmly in our court and it's up to us to find a way of returning it to you.

Oh dear raver: Everton 0 Chelsea 3. You seem to omit the number 61 from my name and we all know why. There is no prize for finishing second. It was nice to say goodbye to the dump they call the lane. The scene of two league championships for Arsenal, as many as the Toot have won in their entire history. 56 years and waiting, the pain at the lane just goes on. 1961.

Rubbish, no tactics, no desire, no hope. But here's your new contract.

30 Apr 2017 20:05:13
I still think hel be moved to one side.

30 Apr 2017 21:11:10
Derby, it will be a miscarriage of justice of the highest order if he isnt. Give him vics job, he's on one side.

Painstakingly predictable.

Take giroud of for welbeck and we've got this grew into the game best I've seen Ramsey play in a while COYG.

Ed002 - any chance of an update on summer transfer targets?

{Ed002's Note - Remind me next week and I will do a Sharkopod.}

Haven't we just had one. Not that I wouldn't love another I was just saying in case the poster hadn't seen it 😊 Or has a lot changed since?

NLD I think we can hurt Spurs I really do only thing that gets me is white hart lane seems a right pitch and Spurs are so clinical with there chances, pochetino must have a good forward coach because the power and accuracy from distance is impressive. That said unlike Steve I can look forward to the game because I always believe and feel Spurs being favourites for the first time might just work in our favour when them pockets of spaces become available for the likes of mesut.
