If we miss out on the CL we'll have won 3 of our last 15 league games and lost a cup final against a side far worse than us. If we do that we don't deserve CL football.

Correct, although top 5 was sorted weeks ago right 😉

Whilst PWS is correct - I dont want to think about that outcome as it will be crushing

Imagine we miss out on the CL two seasons in a row in Manchester. Fuck me

If we miss out, it won't be in from the Manchester match.

To be clear I wasn’t suggesting that. Just the shitness of having us miss out twice in that city against sides we never win against at their place.

We'll be top 5, so yes. I'm just using a hypothetical of it coming to ManC and we fail.

Good to see Peter Schmeichel calling out the hypocrisy of Arsenal getting a favourable call with the West Ham goal today.

Dickhead Arteta says he finally understands refs now.

Is there a more two faced twat in football?

Yeah because the team/club Schmeichel played in never ever did anything nefarious to gain an advantage.

Indeed and there’s the rub. All teams look for an advantage and most moan when it doesn’t go their way and are happy when it does.

All clubs try to gain an advantage. No team has done it as aggressively as Arsenal and consistently got away with it.

Good luck to them then.

If everyone's doing it and they're doing it better than the rest of us then it's just another reason that they deserve to win the league. Annoying though it might be.

As it's got them in the CL final and favourites to win the league maybe we should be taking notes.

Barcelona lead Real Madrid 2-0 at h/t. Nice freekick from Rashford and then Torres after a good flick by Olmo set him up.

The free kick was delightful. I would love him back if Barcelona or Man U don’t want him.

Lovely by Torres who seems to be linked with us every window.
