Re: EPL 21/22
After a troubled start to the season they have snuck up on the pack. They should get a CL spot. MU got a bit of a touch up today in local derby.

Re: EPL 21/22
Right here is what is wrong with the premier league. Finishing 3rd should not be an achievement.

Re: EPL 21/22
Oh yeah? Let’s draw an analogy here: so if Millwall finished second in the Championship and got lucrative automatic promotion to the EPL, you wouldn’t call it an achievement? Millwall fans wouldn’t crave it, wouldn’t rejoice?God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 1:42 pmCon M wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 10:47 amLucrative Champions League, GIsn’tAE.

If Millwall came 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th and won exciting playoffs for promotion to the EPL, those same Millwall fans wouldn’t hail it as an achievement?
Look, I know what you’re saying about first-past-the-post after a gruelling long season is THE achievement but now the top 4 EPL thing is also here to stay. To aim for the top spot of course, but also the top 4, to get into the Champions League.
Same goes for vying for 1st and 2nd and auto promotion out of the Championship and yes, even achieving it through those popular Wembley playoffs.

The problem there is that 10th in the EPL would still be ten times better than first in some of the Scandinavian leagues.Bodø Glimt wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 8:48 pmThis is the issue. It should be the top 1. Bring back the European Cup.

I'd be happy for Millwall to finish 6th and go up. Is it right though - NO. Top 3 should go up.
Would it be an achievement, YES.
Would I celebrate it - YES.
Is is a problem with football - YES.
6 should not get you promoted, 3rd should not get you in a league for CHAMPIONS.

Re: EPL 21/22
The spuds finished seventh last year. We're still in Europe and they aren't so we must be better than them and your tenth.
Oh and remember, I was the first on here to use invisible text.

Re: EPL 21/22
the truth is man u are not good enough and will deserve their mid table finish, it should not be this way but it is, they are all superstars with big egos and big wages that they dont earn, a few try but most dont its pathetic when a team wont put in a full shift for the obscene wages they get, rangnick has to note how ole was nice and defended them and not to follow oles example, play the academy more who would kill to play in that first team and give their absolute all as proper man u players should, 76,000 home fans are waiting to see this, plus me.

Re: EPL 21/22
rangnick or his successer must do the same at man u. midtable is all they deserve. this season is gone now so promote academy players now. is it so much of a risk. should not try to buy your way out of trouble,man u have done this and they didnt need to. they have a wonderfull academy so for petes sake utilise it and see how they respond.haywood djablowme wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 10:44 pmI've said it before & I'll say it again Kudos to Arteta, has made some big calls, got rid of same bad apples & now his team is starting to perform

Arteta whining about fixtures again, it's so unfair on Arsenal.
STFU and grow a pair Mikel.
