Newcastle 2-0, fairly straightforward.
Man City 3-1, drawing for a bit then then get a couple in the last 20
Villa 1-1, late 87th Utd equaliser
Chelsea 3-2, stoppage time Chelsea winner.
Flipping hell. Has someone trod on your foot ?

Europa it is even with the awful team tactics today. Shame as even a draw would have been enough but the team and Emery weren't even trying for that.

Obviously a shocking ref decision - but we turned up against a side are utterly pathetic and managed to make them look good. Given the stakes we were an utter disgrace.

You could tell it was going to be a typical Man U vs Villa match inside the first five minutes.

Now would be a great time for that Man City points deduction.

Honestly wouldn't have minded Europa League at the start of the season and probably even at the turn of the year, but missing out on the Champions League (and particularly in that fashion).feels like a big blow and one that could have wider ramifications for the club.

You just know we are losing in the Europa SF or Final to Palace next year.

Agree. Not even trying to win today, when it's the last thing to play for, is criminal. This team will be broken up in the summer because PSR and it's going to be a while until we compete for CL again.

Or maybe the team needs to be broken up? In Unai I trust

If we have bet the farm on CL we’re fucking mental - I’m hoping we’ve more sense than that.

Why? We can come back every bit as strong next season and compete again for a top 4 place. As shit as today was we’ve had a brilliant overall end to the PL season. That didn’t happen by accident. What fucked things up was the start we made and the massive defensive injuries we had at CB.
