Everton have gone 2-0 up at home to Man Utd.

Ole's wheels came off

[Scorrie]

Ole's wheels came off

Just about to post the same thing. On a poor run since he got the job permanently

[hibsbollah]

Ironically Liverpool could do with Man U winning this.

[heretoday]

Top performance by Everton.........so far.

Sigurdsson's goal was a cracker.

[HH81]

Ironically Liverpool could do with Man U winning this.

Why?

[heretoday]

United will catch a real doing from City come the derby. They're hopeless.

[jonty]

4-0 !

[lapsedhibee]

Why?

Probably so they've still got a chance of top 4 when they meet Manchester C.

[HH81]

I'd have thought losing today makes it must win for them on Wednesday so they have to go for it.

[lapsedhibee]

Mibbes aye, but if Arsenal win today and Chelsea win tomorrow, Manchester U are not realistically getting 4th.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I'm not understanding this 🤔

[jonty]

Manu Utd have had one shot on target according to bet365. Everton have played a blinder.

[hibsbollah]

I'm not understanding this ��

If Man U had taken three points today, they'd be in pole position for one of the two Champions League places, and would conceivably be happy with a point on Wednesday against City, which would also be enough to put Liverpool above Man City in the title race. As it is, Man U really need all 3 points now against City, a point still leaves them lagging behind the other clubs in the race.

Odd side Everton. When they turn it on they're hard to stop - especially at Goodison where they've beaten Arsenal, Chelsea and United recently.

Last week they were outclassed by relegated Fulham..

[Michael]

Man U are a shambles. Why didn't they stick to their guns and wait for end of season to see how OGS did?

[Hibeesmad]

Ole's at the wheel

A hasty appointment based on sentiment. Even at the end of today's drubbing he went over to the fans and got a great reception. They must be daft.

A club like Man Utd should be sparing no expense to get the very best manager available.

[Hibeesmad]

I think City would beat United regardless of the score today

[Hibeesmad]

A lot of United fans I know personally and from social media were claiming that Ole is a better manager than Pochettino and they were glad they went for him instead of Poch. Funny how a few weeks later Ole is bottling 4th and looking likely of playing Europa League next season, Pochettino is in a Champions League semi final and shoe in to finish in the top 4

They should have went for Pochettino. As a Spurs fan, I personally think it would have been difficult to get him in as he's managing a better club just now going in a better direction. But I thought they would have went for him (unless they did and failed).

[Diclonius]

I have a feeling he might get sacked in the summer.

Better team perhaps, although very little in it in the league, but spurs are nowhere near United in terms of size. Spurs definitely not a better club. 3rd biggest club in their City.

[Hamish]

For the SkySportsless, Jamie Gullan starts for Raith at Gayfield live on Alba just now.

[Hibeesmad]

If Spurs beat Brighton on Tuesday and United lose to City then Spurs only need 3 points to finish above United as the chances of United catching Spurs goal difference is very improbable. Chelsea and Arsenal have won a lot more trophies over the years than Spurs but right now Spurs are the best footballing team in London.

If Arsenal win today they are 2 points ahead. It's just not over the years. Literally in the last 5 years Arsenal have 3 trophies, Chelsea 3/4, Spurs bugger all. Need the bring home a even a league cup before they're up with the big boys.

Currently losing 1-0 at home to Palace. Spurs will achieve a lot more than Arsenal and Chelsea in the next 5 years. Champions League final is achievable, one off game who knows what will happen.

You probably thought that 5 years ago. Untill they actually achieve something they have achieved nothing. Big stadium hundreds of millions over budget to pay off. Just as much chance of them going back to an average side as achieving much.

Spurs best opportunity was probably the year Leicester won the league. Been unfortunate in a few semi finals etc along the way. The new stadium will generate more money than they paid for it through NFL, season tickets, other high profile sporting and music events being played at the stadium. Spurs are only about 3 or 4 signings away from being consistent title contenders. Haven't signed a player for the last two transfer windows and been struck with a lot injuries, mostly to Harry Kane in the most recent spell however have knocked out Man City over 2 legs and beat Dortmund 4-0 on aggregate to reach a Semi Final of the Champions League. I can only see positive things going forward. But we shall see buddy :aok:

Poch is where he is because he's a good manager. OGS is there because he's an old United player.

Poch would be mad to go to Old Trafford. If he gets some serious cash from the notoriously mean Levy he'll be in charge of a side to challenge Man City no probs.

They could even do it without injury-prone Harry Kane although that's just my own opinion.

[jonty]

aresenal levelled just into the second half, but two in 8 minutes puts crystal palace 3-1 up
cardiff 0-1 liverpool - surprised its not more.

Cardiff missed an absolute sitter to make it 1-1

[heretoday]

Liverpool just got a pen for absolutely nothing! Game's gone soft.

[Scouse Hibee]

2-0 Liverpool, Milner penalty after blatant pulling of Salah by Morrison.

[BoomtownHibees]

Shocking decision. 🙄

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Eh?

[Hibeesmad]

Really looking forward to the Manchester Derby on Wednesday. Liverpool have only lost 1 game all season but still sit second, incredible. City's title if they win Wednesday Imo.

[BoomtownHibees]

Eh?

The penalty was a stonewaller. No sure what your “eh” is for

[Sir David Gray]

Mon the Manchester City on Wednesday night.

Blue Moon and all that! :thumbsup:

[HoboHarry]

Shocking decision. 🙄

Don't agree at all, daft by Morrison to wrestle with him for that long. Penalty all day long.

[bigwheel]

Wasn't that long...looked longer in slow mo....soft decision...gave the ref a decision to make - but Salah threw himself down. No different than diving imo

[Hibeesmad]

Penalty call is a difficult one. We only see it in slow motion which makes it seem a lot longer than what it actually is. However there is probably enough in it to give a penalty. Stupid thing for the defender to do when Salah didn't really have an option to cause a lot of danger.

If refs give penalties against defenders who are struck on their arm by the ball as they turn their back then a defender wrapping two arms around the attacker is a stonewalled.

[heretoday]

No way was it a penalty. They're all at it nowadays and the refs are fools.

Game's gone completely soft actually. It's not really physical any more. Ridiculous.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Leeds should've had an actual stonewaller there.

[cabbageandribs1875]

play-off spot at best for leeds now, they haven't won at Brentford since 1950 (9 games) they already shot their bolt for an automatic promotion place in losing to wigan on saturday :agree:

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The penalty was a stonewaller. No sure what your “eh” is for

It was pretty obvious.

[cabbageandribs1875]

2-0 Brentford easy peasy


i reckon the play off's will be

Leeds v Derby/B'oro/Bristol city


West Brom v Aston Villa


Leeds v West Brom final at Wembers, sorry SJM

:)

[HibbyAndy]

Leeds are the biggest bottlers going , Strolling the league at xmas but are miles behind Norwich , Aston villa will bury them in the playoffs

Leeds do what they do best , Bottle it

[hfc rd]

Leeds are going to Leeds it.

Villa are hitting form at just the right time and going into the playoffs full of confidence. 10 wins in a row which no other Villa team have managed to do in the past. Plus will be brilliant to see SJM in the EPL.

Part of me wants them to stay in the Championship and to sell SJM for a huge fee :wink:

Dont fancy villa or derby in play offs. Leeds Wba i think hope not.

[hfc rd]

Don’t we get a bonus payment if they get promoted?

Having said that, his performances for Villa will not be going unnoticed by the EPL teams who will no doubt be interested in him.

[Billy Whizz]

He’ll be worth a lot more if he’s in the Premier League

[cabbageandribs1875]

not very often we see bielsa animated.....i reckon some leeds players are part of a middle east betting syndicate :cb

[Hibeesmad]

I can't see Leeds getting automatic promotion from here. Derby v Leeds semi final in the play offs after this season's 'spygate' should be a cracker if it comes to that.

Come on the Villa :agree:

[Squealing pig]

1 nil Burnley on sky one for us cheap skates

[Hibeesmad]

1 nil Burnley on sky one for us cheap skates

Everton 4-0 United
Arsenal 2-3 Palace
And currently Chelsea 0-1 Burnley

Great weekend for Spurs

[Onceinawhile]

2-1 Chelsea after 14.

[Hibeesmad]

2nd Chelsea goal was really nice play and finish

[Hibeesmad]

Chelsea 2-2 Burnley

[Sir David Gray]

Arsenal 2-3 Palace

Great weekend for Spurs

Spurs also lost.

[Hibeesmad]

Spurs also lost.

That's why I'm saying it was a decent weekend for them. Nobody has really taken their defeat as an advantage.

[Sir David Gray]

I'd agree it was a decent weekend for them, it was more the use of the term "great weekend" that I didn't agree with.

Haha fair enough

[Hibeesmad]

Chelsea 2-2 Burnley. FT

Chelsea staff and players getting a bit emotional. Don't think we will see Sarri and Hazard at the Bridge next season.

[MWHIBBIES]

In Spurs world that is success tbf. They released a DVD of them getting a draw at Arsenal once :faf:
