In a competition no one care about…
We will see were Spurs and us will be at the end of the season. And that with us having a much better team !
Premier League Festive Season

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

We have much less control but much more cutting edge with Raheem and Mahrez. The press is weaker, the ball retention is weaker but the extra directness is probably more entertaining when we're playing well. Didn't take our chances but a good first half. We might regret not putting Leicester to bed if they score early 2nd half.
The good news about the top 4 is there are two spots open now which wasn't the case a month ago.
Wilfried Zaha second yellow card against Tottenham 37'
Don't count points before the matches are played.
So do Spurs though, we've played the same amount of games as Spurs and they're 2 points ahead. I'm not really worried about Arsenal tbh, they'll drop points against Wolves and City. I'm more worried about Conte who's doing a fantastic job so far.
Norwich 0 - [2] Arsenal - Kieran Tierney 44'
Perhaps, though said board are also dangerously incompetent.
I’m not. We just need a chance to play them, the table is lying at the minute and pointing to the point difference when games played are so lop sides is even worse
Doesn't matter, Conte finished last in the CL group last season with Inter and won the league with ease.
He's always been better at focusing on the league.
Thank you for this brutally honest viewpoint. I know many would disagree but I think we are too slow in making these kinds of decisions. Had we acted faster Conte would be our manager now.
I see, you are a top red. You will rather have persisted with Ole and send us in the championship.
At the end of the end you have no arguments about Rangnick being better appointment then Conte.
Come on, I get it you have high expectations with Pep but you're 4-0 up.
Personally I think you lot play a lot better with Mahrez in your starting 11, especially when it comes to creating chances, his weight of pass and first touch is a huge asset to have.
Yeah sure, just wanted to mention that Conte already had equally shocking perfomances with Spurs as Rangnick had vs Norwich.
I thought you looked poor against Norwich. Arsenal have looked good since ditching Aubameyang and Spurs have a very good manager.
I do think you have better players but it remains to be seen how you’ll do under Ragnick.You had a good 45 minutes against Palace but that’s not much to base your confidence on.
I won’t dispute in any way that Conte is a great manager but he seems short term, medium term at best. He’s basically 2000s Jose Mourinho before Real Madrid frazzled him.
Would rather go on the Ralf and beyond route, rather than Conte who’d have probably ended up emulating Jose’s stint with us in my opinion. Nice high finishes, some silverware but not the prestigious ones.

Every time I think our board seems to be going in the right direction, I'll just think back to this and how it's one of the most monumentally stupid decisions any top club has ever made.
I’m so confused when someone says Zaha is a good player. He’s been average for years.
Domestic league freak. Think 4th is theirs to lose, even with the shite squad they’ve got
It’s the performances since Ole left including Villarreal and Chelsea away and Arsenal a home. We are actually on a great run, don’t know why people on here are pretending otherwise
He doesn't have high standards. He just wants an unlimited budget.
He's an average player who has good matches every now and then
There’s no point shitting the bed with so many games left though. Outside Liverpool and city there aren’t any teams capable of being super consistent. There will be opportunities for us.
What’s happened has happened and all we can do is look forward and hopefully see improvement on and off the pitch to set us up for trophies this season and onwards.
We obviously don’t want Conte for one reason or another and we have gone the Ralf route which covers short and long term. Not as stupid as you pretend.
They may even get 3rd, Chelsea are nothing special.
Of course he is.
If Fergie was appointed right now by this board it wilhave finished in tears as he would not take the incompetence and the player power.
It only worked because he was already at the club and the board did not have to intervene.
I was mostly joking but yeah in games like this I think this is the team for sure, against tougher teams, I think even though its not as easy on the eye, Jesus and Foden for the press and control I think is huge. This team is probably our most entertaining XI since Sterling and Sane on the wings, the Foden/Jesus is probably our best though.Come on, I get it you have high expectations with Pep but you're 4-0 up.
Personally I think you lot play a lot better with Mahrez in your starting 11, especially when it comes to creating chances, his weight of pass and first touch is a huge asset to have.
Conte is obviously a far superior manager to Rangnick but as you say its the future direction that we're looking at here. A joined up modern and attacking philosophy. Conte, like you say, is a short term appointment that'll leave you with a load of deadwood when he falls out with the board.
Topred eh?
There goes any modicum of credibility you may or may not have had.
Best get back on twitter abusing howson.
Where would you fit Grealish then ?
Where he is right now at the current moment. Grealish is a good player among many good players but his form for the last 6 weeks after a promising start doesn't merit him being in either iteration.
I do have faith he'll come good, Sterling and Bernardo both had poor starts under Pep and Mahrez was very hit and miss for his first 12 months.
Generally I avoid watching City but whenever I do see a clip here or there you can guarantee it'll be Sterling going over in the box. It's such cynical stuff from him and his team.
I'm not pretending it's stupid, it is stupid. Spurs are laughing their way to CL football. However, I'm more than willing to wait until summer to see who we appoint as our full time manager, if we appoint Ten-Hag or even Ruben Amorim then it'll have been worth missing out on him, if we appoint someone like Rodgers or Pochettino then I'll re-emphasize what a stupid decision it was.
Top four looking long.
How would anyone disagree we are slow at making these kind of decisions? Besides Gary Neville I don't think anyone thinks that.
Conte may had been better for the short term, but I'm absolutely delighted to have Rangnick even if we lost top 4 this year. Conte is a short term fix, and while he'll improve Spurs and would have definitely improved us I don't think he'll have done it to the point of us getting major titles.
He's never been good in Europe and I don't think he could reach City's and Liverpool's level with us. Eventually he would leave us and we'll had to start all over again.
With Rangnick is different, nothing's assured but if he's here for the long term our whole football structure will change and I'm not talking about Ole's nonsense cultural reset, going back to Sir Alex days etc etc bullshit I'm talking about a real project with a real innovative manager/director that can actuay set the bases for our next year's adopting a modern football philosophy.

We have the better players but they're both better teams than us right now. It's possible this changes over the course of the season but people are only able to judge off the present, and what's happening currently is that they're picking up points at a very consistent rate.People in here actually pissing themselves about Spurs and Arsenal
