Ugh, what a game yesterday. I think that second penalty was extremely soft, I've seen more contact not given a penalty, but it is what it is. I think Radcliffe is actually going to get some changes done with structure and whatnot, we'll see if Ten Hag is back (doubtful).

That match was must see TV. Both Chelsea and Man United are just so ridiculously stupid unpredictable that you knew it was going to be like watching a bunch of sugared up toddlers on in a bouncy house.

It in no way disappointed neutrals.

Absolutely agree. If I were a neutral, it would have been a fantastic game to watch. These two are the most bipolar teams in the league this year.

You think Pool go after de Zerbi or Frank or look in other leagues at this point?

We have a soccer group chat, and one of the Man U fans said while it was 2-2 at halftime, and I quote: "This has got 3-4 loss thanks to a defensive error in the 90th minute written all over it."

the amount of games United have played with both teams scoring over three is insane. Just looking I think it's six this year alone.

Had he taken this job, I'd have thought it cleared the way for Southgate to Manchester United, but now that he's not I'm wondering what is coming next.

Just checked Champions League scores on my phone.

Also, Sargent scores again for Norwich.

There goes the English Coefficient.

The last hope is Aston Villa unless Leverkusen are too hung over.

Foden might be the best player on the planet at this moment in time. Cant wait to watch Southgate screw it up this summer.

Arsenal supporters getting woke.

It's going to be sad when Guardiola leaves and Xabi Alonso steps in allowing the big blue train to just keep right on rolling.

The North London Derby is the best match in England. In a league that some are finding a bit stale lately, that one never seems to disappoint.

Fourth place Bologna is four points clear of Roma, two points behind Juventus in Italy. Four matches left to go. At Torino, at Napoli, Juventus, at Genoa.

Brutal match as a Spurs performer. Just was sloppy on a few occasions where Arsenal capitalized, unlucky not to score in the first 20, but good entertainment and energy from our side. But this match is a microcosm of what we lack to truly compete consistently at a high level, which is a lot at the moment but a very solid core.

I would agree, but to be fair, by the time Arsenal got their third goal they'd had two shots on goal. To win a championship in any sport, you need to have situations like that happen in addition to being good. I feel like Arsenal, in addition to being very very good, have also had good timing this season. That helps more than people realize.

Spurs have faults for sure but with a couple of good moves they are in the thick of Champions League top four football. At least they aren't Man United or Chelsea.

I like Big Ange, but I sometimes think he's stubborn tactically, which I think all these guys are to a degree. I also don't understand how, by late April, people don't know how Arsenal set up on set pieces. Ben White is going to get in the keeper's way every single time. It is being allowed, so it has to be prepared for. Spurs didn't appear ready for it. You need one of your guys to get their guy off of your keeper.

I still like Son a lot.

I still can't fathom the money spent on Jesus and Havertz yet continually hearing how Arsenal need a striker. They're so compact and tight defensively. Newcastle is not going to let Isak go when he has a contract and they don't need the money.
