Entertaining game, but I wouldn't be basking in optimism if I was a Manure fan with this bunch of players.

Harry Kane transfer thread on Blue Moon a hilarious read right now 
.
Was a painful game to watch but Spurs were so much better than us for most of the game, hard to complain about the result. A real "you should've coughed up the extra 30m" game from Harry.

I enjoyed the highlights just now. It was fun to watch, but I don't know how many visiting players need to be treated as target practice by the locals before Leeds have to play a few games in an empty stadium. Yesterday wasn't the first time, that's for sure.
Relegation from the PL is shaping up top be a real dog-fight now. Norwich are doing better under their new manager, recent losses to Liverpool and City not withstanding. Burnley have games in hand and seem to have rediscovered how to win some of them. Everton and Newcastle are improving under new managers, and it remains to be seen how Watford will fare under Hodgson. Leeds should improve when Phillips and others are available for selection again. Above that lot, Palace and Brentford can't buy a win lately. From a personal pov, Palace's games against Watford and Burnley in the next few days are vital. Lose those and we're in real trouble.

Roma's management having to release a statement actually apologise for Mourinho's behaviour is hilarious
I'm sure there have been occasions where clubs have released statements addressing dubious incidents etc, but I don't recall ever seeing a club sending out a press release saying "yeah sorry about our manager, he's a bit of a ****" before

Newcastle are improving but aren't Everton still rubbish with a somewhat unproven manager in Frank?

were it not for Koscielny and Mertesacker, Benny and Gabriel would be the best Arsenal defensive pairing since Campbell and Toure imoFrom ESPN:
I desperately want Saliba to play for us but this thing we have going right now at the back is really promising.
although admittedly that is a rather dubious honour

These guys remind of Mert and Kos tbh. Except they both have recovery pace. What a signing Gabriel is tbh. A monster aerially.

Arsenal's improvement in general has gone very under the radar. Feels like they went from a mid-table side with an under pressure manager to clear favourites for 4th place without anyone noticing. I think all the games in hand are kinda messing with the way narratives are forming this year.

No Europe is a big factor imo. Wherever we land we need heavy augmentation of the squad before next season.

They won a couple of games, didn't they. Granted they were rubbish against Southampton. Anyway, Everton never go down; second longest stay in the top flight after Arsenal, one way or another.

Yeah, games in hand is making it convoluted, including keeping the narrative that West Ham are having a great season still, whilst their results have been worse than middling for awhile. Effectively they're about 8th, and looking at a worse season than last year when they didn't have to sell their best players. Something I think they won't be able to avoid next season, especially Rice.
It's just kinda annoying me, these uneven games, people gnomically saying, I'd rather have the points than games in hand, well no **** sherlock, but as silly as automatically putting points on for games in hand, is disregarding them.

Are Arsenal getting better or Man Utd, Spurs and Wolves falling back to their level tho

Bit of both I'd say, as an impartial observer. They needed major changes and a complete change of Ethos, and there's no doubt seeing young players like Martinelli, Smith-Rowe and Saka feels more refreshing to watch then some of the players they've had recently as star names. Yet we'll see if they can keep it going until the end of the season.
Genuinely feel Man U, could do with a similar refresh, but they have better players so they perform a bit better. If the press is anything to go by, Ronaldo may go, if so they really need to invest in young talent, whomever that may be, and if that means breaking the bank so be it. Yet I hope Ronaldo, Pogba and co will still be there next year, producing their great match every 10, and who needs Rice when you have mcFred? I do get that Fred is slightly maligned and he's improved, but he's really not what united need to move them forward.
Yeah I have just been assuming that Everton will stay up but their fixtures actually look pretty horrible.
Huge set of games coming up for Brentford now, still have to play all the teams below us so it gets kind of serious now.
