What a strike. Aberdeen 1-0 up.

Aberdeen will finish in 3rd comfortably

It's clearly an intended cross, he looks across the other side of the pitch before putting his foot through the ball.

Ref should have stopped it and booked Ramadani about 20 seconds before the goal

Abysmal reffing again

if it stays like this i think sellick will just need one point as they have a huge +GD over the Govan Buns


obviously two points to make it official likes

[Paul1642]

Might not be a terrible thing for us. We were always going to struggle to catch Aberdeen even before today. If the fixtures come in the right order their game against Hearts might be important for them and the Hibs Aberdeen game might be a dead rubber for them if they have wrapped up 3rd already.

Of course it could end up being the exact opposite.

[Hibernian Verse]

If Celtic just need 3 points to win it, the SPFL like sending them to Easter Road to do so…

I'm surprised that was given considering arms seem to be included in the offside rule under VAR.

Aw well, 4th or 5th to battle it out for now.

Barisic’s foot

[MWHIBBIES]

I'd be disappointed if I'd paid 20 million of Anthony. Absolutely awful.

Barisic’s foot

Yes, but the arm appeared to be beyond the foot.

[Hibernian Verse]

Yes, but the arm appeared to be beyond the foot.

It’s the shirt sleeve line that they use

[007]

Of course Walsh was never giving a penalty against Rangers, especially not at 2-0 down.

Think they're still at 0 penalties against in the league.

[JamesHFC]

Avoiding defeat to Hearts probably secures 3rd for them. Really did not expect that after those couple of weeks where they were getting beat comfortably in Edinburgh and losing to Darvel.

Hopefully we can get 4th to skip a qualifying round in Europe but I would take 5th now (assuming one of the twins win the Cup).

[HarpOnHibee]

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for clarifying.

[cabbageandribs1875]

if the table i'm looking at the now has been updated as 'live' then sellick are 13 points ahead with 15 to play for

wouldn't surprise me if they are sent to ER to win it but then again they may send us to parkhead so they can win it in front of their 60K

[weecounty hibby]

I know it's not in our interest for Aberdeen to win, even tho 3rd was a long shot. But I absolutely ****ing love the huns getting beat

[Billy Whizz]

If the score stays like this, Celtic can win the league next game
Surely they won’t send them to Ibrox, where no away fans are allowed

Aberdeen’s improvement under Robson would suggest you can keep sacking managers if they are duds.

[Paul1642]

Aberdeen’s improvement under Robson would suggest you can keep sacking managers if they are duds.

It pays off occasionally. Doesn’t mean it’s always the right move. Also if we are rendering to LJ here I think dud is harsh. He has improved on the last managers and the tail end of Jack Ross’ reign. And they manager pay offs mean reduced player budget for the incoming manager.

[HarpOnHibee]

Aberdeen’s improvement under Robson would suggest you can keep sacking managers if they are duds.

Or the players can collaborate together to get the manager sacked when they're capable of playing far better.

[JamesHFC]

They are likely to play St Mirren & Hearts at home and one of them will definitely be last game of the season so I think there is a greater possibility that we get them at ER next game. Unless those deciding the fixtures want them to likely win the league in front of their own fans. Three away games in a row seems unlikely though.

[WhileTheChief..]

Celtic wining the trophy at home simply means a few pyrotechnics and a sing-song for 10 mins or so before heading home for their tea. Nobody cares.

[SHODAN]

Always had a decent squad of players, just needed a manager to organise and motivate them. Sadly, our pathetic recruitment process means we can't be fixed the same way. Only time, money and fresh approach at ER will fix us.

[Mikey_1875]

2 good windows from Aberdeen, brought in quality strikers in the summer and sorted the defence in the winter. Credit needs to go to Robson as well of course but the players are there. They will be paying more than us obviously and seemed to have a good run with injuries.

[Bobby's Cinema]

:agree: Yep had the same thought

[GRA]

Give the Dons credit. Some turnaround from them. Can't see them throwing away 3rd now.

But we can still catch Hearts. Need to win at Tynie though. Even if we get 5th and one of the OF win the cup Euro qualification would still make this season a success to build on IMO.

[Bobby's Cinema]

I wonder if the lesser Gordon Smith wants Brighton to win or thinks "oh no, anything but having to do "and Smith must score" interviews"?

Don't consume your budget by giving lengthy contracts to average players either. That and constantly trying to find bargains with long standing injury issues. Did it with Magennis and looks like we're going to do the same with Devlin. Operating on hope rather than purpose.

[CMac1988]

Given how they've been playing 3rd was in the bag. Huns getting slapped is always pleasing. No team I hate more. Lets get down to business paid off! :D

[Stevie Reid]

Seven wins in a row for the Dons and eight from their last nine - and they don’t even have a positive goal difference.

League is mental.

Taking nothing away from Brighton and I see how you think I’m being disrespectful to them, but I see United vs Brighton as being like Hibs vs Ross County. It shouldn’t even be a contest. United SHOULD (massive emphasis on should) be winning that game comfortably.

Always has been imo. Worked wonders with a hilariously poor Arsenal squad, got them to multiple finals and fifth place finish, which after Wenger leaving was always the best they were getting for a few years whilst they paid of their stadium etc.

If Villa make Europe, with the money behind them as it is there's a serious case for pushing for 4th next year. 4th richest owners in the league(I think, might be off by one give or take), 20k on the waiting list, mental all the focus is on Newcastle rather than Villa

Emery done well at Arsenal to start but there's some major revisionism going on here. Got to 1 final and put in a dreadful performance. Should've got top 4, only had beat one of Palace, Wolves, Leicester or Brighton. Got 1 point, totally blew it. That was 4 of the last 5 games.

The run the following season coupled with the football on show rightly saw him binned. Arteta then won a trophy months later Vs the same opponents.

He's a good manager for Villa, Sevilla, Villareal levels. Big clubs. He's struggled at the only 2 really big clubs he's managed, Arsenal and PSG.

Absolutely nothing to do with paying off any stadium either.

Not at all, he is an excellent manager in the Europa league. I spoke about his time with Arsenal, hence why I didn't mention all the European trophies he didn't win with Arsenal?

Savilla have been a bigger club than arsenal recently. All arsenal have won in the last 18 years is the fa Cup. Sevilla have won copa del rey, 6 Europa cups and the European supercup.

Guess that's one way to look at it. Been a good period for Sevilla. Not sure they have anything like the appeal or expectations of Arsenal, though.

Wouldn't this logic have st Johnstone as the 2nd biggest club in Scotland in the last 10 years?

Definitely the most successful club.

But there are massive differences, being the Europa league final is one of the most watched sporting events in the world, same with the super cup, winning it 6 times in recent years Definitely makes you big. Also sevilla have a big following.

Anyone in Europe that is under 25 doesn't know arsenal as a team that wins the league, just a few FA cups. They will know sevilla as a club that regularly wins the Europa. Not a massive achievement nowadays but still. Also we get much more press about English football in Scotland so it can be over inflated and the Europa is a much smaller deal in the uk than it is in the content for some reason

Do more people watch the Europa League final than the FA cup final? Wouldn't think there's much difference.

Sevilla might well have a big following. Arsenal have significantly more. As well as significantly more success in their history.

As an Englishman with no ties to any clubs down here not really bothered who wins as I just want to see some end to end football and an exciting game.

Can't see arsenal playing for the point so I guess this game is going either way, a Man City high scoring victory or an away win.

Arsenal do have the quality in the team to beat City but its a big ask and all 👀 on Haaland for me.

Arsenal rattled already

What a player de Bruyne is. Just quietly elegant, like a Rolls Royce on the pitch.

Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me, no hope, no harm, just another false alarm

Last night I dreamed I was in east London and went to a West Ham match with some of the guys from West Ham Fan TV. All very strange.

Indeed 😀

Very effective crowding the middle by City. A heat map would show almost everybody and the ball in the middle third, Arsenal so far unable to find the space and movement. A few minutes ago the Man City back three were closer to the centre circle than the 18-yard box, Arsenal trying to find a route from the back but stifled.

Man City are exceptional.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Man City are exceptional.

Indeed, if people can't enjoy watching them you'd probably have to say that football isn't for them. It's obviously Guardiola's influence that has them playing in this manner, shot to watch.

I enjoy watching Peps Man City more than I enjoyed Peps Barca. The seem a bit more direct and less tippy tappy. Just a fantastic side.

Aye, it's exactly how every football fan hopes to watch their team playing some day. Fantasy football, natural and automatic.

[Smartie]

City (and DeBruyne) have timed their improvement well and they look the real deal right now (at the right time).

For reasonable periods this season I've doubted them both though.

Arsenal have really had the belief knocked out of them over the past month - after having looked to be the real deal for so much of the season.

I have never doubted for a moment that City would catch Arsenal and have said so on here. It's easy to look great when there is no pressure, but City have been here so many times. It's invaluable experience. They just know they have the ability to come out ahead when the pressure is applied.

[Hibernia&Alba]

"And dat's dat", as was said in Goodfellas when Tommy was whacked. It's all over.

Someone is going to be along shortly to agree with you and then give you at least twelve reasons why it is so.

Loadeh *****. It’s like watching Celtic v Ross County. Only one team ever going to win this.

I mean, it's being dreadfully executed in Scotland but it got Stones' goal spot on.

Arsenal look lost.

Technically yes, but I just have a problem with that being onside. It doesn’t feel right.

United will beat them in the cup final. Just wait and see :agree:

Man City fans celebrating like it’s a pre-season friendly.

[Sylar]

Game over.

So easy.

3-0.

[J-C]

City cruising here, I think the inexperience of Arsenal has been shown up in last few weeks, they're a very good team but mentally not ready to win the title.

[JamesHFC]

Partey has been shocking, if he was out though there would be calls they lost the title because of that.

[J-C]

United will beat them in the cup final. Just wait and see :agree:


I'm a United fan but wouldn't bet on that, City are miles ahead of every at the moment.

[supermcginn]

Arsenal have collapsed even more than I thought they would. Another season with zero trophies after all that money spent.

[Willis1875]

De Bruyne is one of those players that’s worth the ticket price alone,Dribbling skills of Iniesta and the eye for a pass like Xavi…a joy to watch

[Hibernia&Alba]

Game over.

So easy.

3-0.

It's like a grown man playing against his toddler in the garden. You try to make it look difficult, but there is nothing you can do but score when he falls over, as you can't bring yourself to insult the intelligence of a two year old.

3 - 1 Forest big win, but blow to Brightons European plans

Lampard's impressive record continues

[Mibbes Aye]

It's all relative with Arsenal. They have paid a price for the previous two results but they still came to the Etihad at the end of April with the chance to go eight points clear at the top.

I have to pause to let that sink in, because that's borderline ridiculous progress for a club that hadn't even qualified for the CL for six seasons.

There are a few positions to bolster or upgrade in the summer, and keeping the likes of Saka and Saliba is essential,but the money will be there (and the expectations likewise).

City are very very good and very, very strong. But Arsenal on form still play the prettier football :greengrin

[Donegal Hibby]

Sheffield United after scoring again 2- 0 , Hecky's going up .

Pleased for him. Maybe it was always the players after all.

I have no idea why they would appoint Lampard, he's basically a pretty **** manager and this job is way over his head. Again. It's a strange one all the same, Lamport is a really bright guy, high IQ and all that, but he's not a very good manager, at this level anyway.

I think the Liverpool team of previous seasons were far better. City will probably still end up winning this title by double digits.

Saka apart, there's not another Arsenal player who would get in this City side.

Saka was nowhere to be seen tonight. Foden & Mahrez both better.

Arsenal need a miracle

[The Modfather]

I’m not sure there’s many players in the league that would get in the City team. Salah, Van Dijk (probably not this season), Saka. Genuinely not sure who else would be an upgrade on the starting 11.

I like how Grealish seems to have found his niche now decision making and confidence loads better and more of a team player than a one man band -putting in a shift now

[Donegal Hibby]

Yeah you have a point there . He probably wouldn't get in that team yet though do think he's a class player and is only 24 . Gundogan is coming 33 now too .

I’ve not paid much attention to EPL football in recent years but if nothing else, Arsenal made it very interesting for a few months there. Just a step too far for them but the fact that they will fall short will be down to Zinchenko’s defending against Southampton and (?) West Ham more than it was about being overrun on the night by a strong Man City side.

[JamesHFC]

Warm the bench for Brazil?

Its been down to losing Saliba and the shape and line having to change.

Great coach. Delighted to see him up in the big league. Will probably be sacked by Christmas though.

He's alright, decent enough for Arsenal but i suppose he might look better in this City side, although at this moment in time, he'd be warming the bench for them if he actually made the bench.

Saka was poor last night, but i could see him sneeking in their side on the right, he'd definetly make their bench. :greengrin

[Tambo]

I was expecting a little bit more from arsenal last night TBH, full credit to City though who have peaked at the right time. Absolutely relentless in every position.

All 👀 on the relegation race now with a couple key games tonight and over the weekend.

Huge game for Everton tonight. They are running out of fixtures and really need to get something at home.

Agreed, it all depends on which United turns up. They are prone to throwing in the towel in away games, just downing tools e.g. Liverpool, Sevilla.
