Champions League Contention

[Paul.S]

I don't geddit with the "Ange" love-in. In interviews he's mumbly, head-down, no eye-contact and gets very defensive with questions when they lose/play poorly.

He calls everyone “mate” and has moved to this super club in London. The London media need no further reason. He may turn out to be a very good coach but not so long ago the same media were laying into Emery for the way he spoke.
I don’t dislike the bloke but this love in isn’t based on anything other than that. He’s playing them all and they are dancing around like kids in a sweet shop. Emery doesn’t need to play any games as he’s got the silverware to speak for him.

Not easy by an account but I think 8 wins from 13 would do it being honest. Unless ManU find a way to beat the 'Big Clubs'

To be fair they do play very good football these days, that a big change from the Mourinho/Conte days. Conte did get them CL football though and were looking good for a second season of it before he had a meltdown. Kind of gets forgotten.

If we don't get CL football I wouldn't feel as bad if they pipped us, anyone but Man United really.

When we lost last week Neville was wanking about ManUre getting a Champs League spot - nobody pointed out that it wasn't a great outcome this year

I don't mind Postecoglu, got to be be impressed by what he's achieved in life, given where his family started in Australia.

I am probably being a little bit too sensitive here - and, to reiterate, I fucking hate Spurs, I feel like I have to mention that whenever discussing them - but I do think the media attitude to him is a bit patronising at times.

"Aaah, bless, he's Australian, and he calls everyone 'mate' all the time".

I just think he’s got them where he wants them.
Seems like a decent enough bloke but the fact that our media hold him in greater esteem than Emery is laughable.
I think the way Emery was mocked at Arsenal was disgraceful but we are now reaping the rewards.

Emery mocked by thick eared twats who can barely speak their native tongue (for the most part) let alone be able to converse in another language.

Anybody else getting hacked off with the media’s fauning over Ratcliffe’s bollocks today?

Absolutely right. I await the next English coach thats goes to Spain and holds a press conference in Spanish.

You're lucky, I live in Greater Manchester - wall to wall media coverage of someone who owns 27.7% of a local football club.

[IFWaters]

its off topic but I cant find the right place. Effing Ratcliffe going on about a national stadium in the north with taxpayer money thrown in. Fuck that, Man Utd arent getting my taxes to help them out, its bad enough that West Ham got a virtually rent free stadium off the taxpayer or Abu Dhabi FC got the same out of another white elephant sold for less than taxpayers spent building it. If so where is Birminghams legacy stadium that we got after the Commonwealth Games ...oh no hold on it was all scaffolding and taken down so nothing left in the midlands as legacy. Sick of the midlands getting screwed over 'both ways' on this sort of stuff.

And the daft twat said the Industrial Revolution started in Trafford Park. Talk about revisionism!

[Villan82]

The cheek of them.

[OCD]

Hope they fail to get Champions League football and struggle to manage FFP. Wankers. It's bad enough having a Brummie Red mate of mine who still thinks Newcastle will finish above us.

True. Everybody knows it started in Derby.
