Premier League Gameweek 30+31

[GeorgieBoy]

We can absolutely catch Leicester.
Win tomorrow and we're 6 points behind with 21 points remaining. Their run in is very tough.
Chelsea.
Everton.
Palace.
Arsenal.
Bournemouth.
Sheffield United.
Spurs.
Us.

 

[Wayne's World]

We should have no excuses not catching Leicester when you see our fixture list which includes beating them

 

[V.O.]

Mourinho vs Moyes. It’s like watching 2 ex girlfriends who made us miserable getting into a fight.

I have to say I am looking forward to it in a bit of a perverse way. Every minute of drudgery will be something I'll be thankful I don't have to sit through every week.

 

[Devil81]

10 points from 30 for Leicester. They are on a terrible run.

I'd say we're as likely to catch them as we are Chelsea at this current time.

 

[Perseus]

Brighton were very good defensively, I don't remember Leicester creating a clear cut chance.

Leicester 0-0 restricted to long shots, like Arsenal before them. Brighton: good results but disappointing in their last two games. Points are better than form.

 

[Sylar]

Not sure if mentioned (probably has been)

But Is spurs v West Ham the first time it's ever been former United manager vs former United manager in the league?

Redknapp saying West Ham's midfield is better than Spurs

Yea we should most certainly be there or thereabouts.

Yes indeed. Which to me feels to be the worst stat ever in the Post Fergie era.

 

[Zlaatan]

His arm was perfectly natural for someone jumping and falling over.

I didn't know there was such a rule, I've always thought it was handball no matter what if you blocked a shot towards goal.

Yeah, we play them next in league game (After SHU), hopefully we get early goal. Can see us struggling like Leicester did.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Leicester in a bit of trouble for top 4 if they draw this, after looking very comfortable in the pre-corona part of the season.

10 points from 30 for Leicester. They are on a terrible run.

Aye, their form since 14th December is horrific*. Incredible start to the season is the only reason they are anywhere near top 4.

Think he misplaced one of his envelope and had to adjust with a file. So it makes sense.

 

[Deery]

Will Mourhino get Harry Kane in the box tonight?

Just bet on him to score anytime better not piss about on the wings..

 

[edcunited1878]

I don't necessarily agree with so many people saying United can overtake Chelsea and Leicester for a CL place. United are a team who have not shown that consistency and that conviction to grab full results when the opportunities present itself.

The suspension in the league came at a really, really bad time for United because they were arguably the form team in the league outside of Liverpool, which could be debatable as well as they haven't done too well results wise since losing to Watford and getting knocked out in CL by Atletico.

We really have to take this on a match by match basis starting again tomorrow against Sheffield. Everyone needs to be completely focused and prepared for the match in front of them. Just need results, no matter the performance or luck needed. These are the gauntlet of matches that Fergie always talked about where a 1-nil result is better than any great performance and grinding out full results make all the difference at the end of the season.

I could careless if Pogba and Bruno start tomorrow or in the future. If it means United have a better chance at winning the match, okay. But also having match winners coming off the bench is even more important with the lack of match fitness, potential for injury, and amount of matches between now and the end of the season where off days and how you recover from matches are completely different.

And they only won 4 games in their last 15 PL games. Their poor run started in Norwich drew & the lost against City.

They will continue to drop points and we will catch them, get 2 points ahead of them then on the final day they’ll beat us.

 

[Irrational.]

Davey Moyes: for once in your pointless, useless, full-of-wrinkles managerial career get something tonight.

 

[ColvaleGoa]

Kane hattrick incoming!

 

[ThierryHenry]

Was Moyes sunburnt or was that just his natural red Scottish glow?

Well, given advantage fixtures compared to Leicester, if we don't overtake them for CL place. We're simply not good enough & Leicester fully deserve it getting points against tough opposition teams. To put it simple, if the players really think they truly a top PL & CL material then they will need to start stepping up from the inconsistency because our remaining fixtures are winnable for squad of top PL club.

 

[Deery]

Kane hattrick incoming!

He loves a goal against Westham

 

[AltiUn]

To be fair, Leicester sort of knew this was coming considering how well they overperformed their xG and xPts at the start of the season, Vardy in particular. Didn't stop some stuffing their fingers in their ears, mind.

 

[Irrational.]

Noble is fecking useless. Gobshite with very little talent.

 

[marktan]

Passhon. Embodies the every day West Ham fan. He gets it, he does. If only they had 11 Mark Nobles.

 

[edcunited1878]

People should pay attention to Dele and really come to the conclusion that he's not a midfielder and he's a forward.

 

[crossy1686]

Sack Solskjaer, hire Rodgers. Say's the Cafe circa January.

 

[Antisocial]

Seriously conflicted how I want this one to go - better for us that Spurs drop points as they're still slightly closer than I’d like, but I really want West Ham to feck-off and even a point would be valuable given the rest of the shite down there.

It’s your classic “can’t both sides lose?” match.

 

[Samid]

Why is the Spurs doc dressed as an exterminator?

 

[Dancfc]

I've never got why XG is ridiculed by some, it's ofcourse pointless in the context of the game just gone but it's about as accurate as foreshadower as it's possible to get.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Mark Noble is complete shit.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Yep they look the team most likely to drop out if United or Wolves can put together a good run over the last 8 games. tough run of games for them too.

game against BHA is worrying me after their last 2 games.

Yeah. Despite having a favourable run, no games between now and the end of the season will be easy. From our point of view, I just hope we can finish the season strongly and break into the top four.

 

[Brophs]

I'm sure in Kevin Nolan's mind, those shorts fit perfectly.

 

[slored1]

Spurs look absolutely horrendous. Lo Celso is their only good player.

 

[Baxter]

Water breaks need to go

 

[AFC NimbleThumb]

Mark Noble is a shocking player.

How Herrera let Lee Cattermole of the south manhandle him I’ll never know!

 

[saivet]

No idea how fit he is but surely Wilshere is a better option than Noble.

 

[Salt Bailly]

Tyler showing why he's paid the big bucks:

"Kane loves to shoot."

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Rice having a decent game so far.
