Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [13th - 19th April 2018]

[The Running Man]

Lukaku and Sanchez look shadows of their former selves. I think the trouble with Mourinho is he buys expensive players whose natural game has got them to where they are and then he coaches them into playing exactly as he wants like robots so all of their creativity disappears.

Buy old creaking players like matic and Sanchez and they aren't going to play like hungry lions week in week out.

 

[Andybtsn]

Congratulations Man City.

 

[Jono8]

So we beat top of the league Man City away and then lose to bottom of the league West Brom at home....lol

 

[Nate75]

Must be truly awful to be a ManU supporter today!

Meh not really.

Dicked City at City last weekend.

Today was pants but it was over a while back.

 

[BaZ87]

Pards being shown up by Darren Moore. Cracking weekend.

Forster sticking the boot in on Pardew there too, going on about how much easier it is to put in performances with a manager like Moore.

 

[dacads]

Mourinho needs to stop making statements he can't back up.. losing to west brom is inexcusable..

Regarding Sanchez we have gone backwards as a team since his arrival, Martial and Rashford are no longer given a chance and that's just a waste of time and talent.

 

[Robert]

Bailly was left out as a tactical joke...bemused

 

[omnomnom]

Seeing United fans blame a ref for losing at home to West Brom is hilarious.

 

[Yas786]

They care more about us, it's pretty funny.

Not really but seeing you lose to West Brom today kinda makes our loss a bit more bearable .

 

[Tummy]

That's what football do to ya!

Shocking result for Manchester United, but in a microcosm sums up 'The Special One's' tenure.

Congratulations to Manchester City, on what has been a fantastic domestic campaign.

mmmmmmk

 

[Yas786]

Didn't you lose to Newcastle and are sitting in 6th?

Amazing

Not as amazing as Utd losing to a relegated side

 

[Tummy]

Also; do we think that is the Sky four 'done' for this season?

Manchester City
Liverpool
Manchester United
Tottenham

 

[Yas786]

Anywho congrats to City, best domestic side this year. Thoroughly deserved to win the title. Let’s see next season if they can do it again.

 

[Nate75]

Jose giving an honest and frank interview there

"best team won".

The league, unlike cups, does not lie.

Pretty much nailed on for top 4 yes. Just the order of 3 to be decided. It's all about champions league, Fa cup and the relegation battle now. Most league games will probably be pretty tame.

 

[Tummy]

I think Liverpool could get second place, (I also think they have a massive/fantastic opportunity to win another European Cup) but I would be surprised if any of the current top four dropped out.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Chelsea won't give up until it's mathematically impossible but they've got a very tough game away to Burnley on Thursday, just before the FA cup game at the weekend.

You're sixth with what looks like no future hope of getting back into the top four, but none of that matters as long as United lose an inconsequential game though right?

Hahaha
