So the Invincibles thing is safe for another season and Spurs aren't going to win it.

My comment was in reference to Liverpool's spending and Arsenal's mismanagement. Clearly, it isn't Emery's fault but the fault of Kronke, Gazidis, Wenger or a combination? Whether Ramsey is the last of the bunch is fine but Emery is the one suffering for that mismanagement. Ever since Nasri and RVP, this has become a perennial issue for the club. Even if Kronke is running the club purely as a business, it is a basic and major failing of the hierarchy. How much money have we lost due to this mismanagement?

For the record, Emery has to be given 3 seasons, it would be utterly foolish not to.

Why not? 3 points off 4th and Chelsea hardly look amazing.

It only seems to have actually affected two or three clubs though. Liverpool are top in England (nothing particularly unusual there historically) and the same clubs as always are winning in Spain, Germany and Italy. Forget Ligue Un #merde


And anyway, we've been one of the major beneficiaries of the increase in cash in the game :shrug:

United picking up pace, Chelsea not great (but still better than us) and we can’t even defend a long ball.

Doomed.

Yes, even Leicester City are a sugar daddy vanity project nowadays (RIP). And Stoke City get their forwards from Barcelona and Real Madrid.

FWIW, I do think we'll miss top 4 but not by much and still think United are flattering to deceive. Will know more after they play spurs

We and Chelsea will fight fiercely over the fifth place trophy imo.

I'm just not having that OGS can make such a huge difference to United. Chelsea are also an injury to Hazard away from being fecked
