Spoken like a true rag!

Is this where we are now. Calling me a rag. Brilliant!

Contact at least..

I don't think either are pens to be fair, both of them played for the pen.

What happens if we get 4th and united finish 5th but win europa? Both get in CL? Or do they take our place?

Both.

Should have started them and I suspect he knows it. It would be refreshing to see him take responsibility for his mistakes every now and again.

He takes absolute responsibility for mistakes all the time, moreso than any manager I can remember.

68% possession but only 4 shots on target. IF we could only convert shots on target into goals eh?
Admittedly Sané is a pest to defences, but he needs a space behind to utilise his pace. Hopefully it will be brighter next season.

In the 2nd half Boro were so deep it was crying out for shots from 18/20 yards. They were too deep to cover it. Enough attempts must surely end with a goal or with the defence having to come out to block yet we kept avoiding it.

Barca, Bayern would just smack it in the net in the same situation.

I find it quite funny that the scummy red b*@stards are on here and some even starting to wear their scummy red shirts again outside in the real world. Not seen them for ages, had we won on Thursday - as we should, wouldn't have seen or heard from them again til next season.
Scum scum scum.

No it isn't. We had one game to play last season and it was out of our hands. It is still in our hands this season. Nothing about Pep, nothing about next season.

That comment by me was admittedly hasty. Our hope is we bottle it a little less in the last few games compared to Arse, Utd and Liverpool and nick top 4

different era?...take a look at the "quality" of the pitches back in those days, far more energy sapping than the carpets they play on today...factor in poorer medical support (ask Paul Lake), far tougher tackling/kicking week and things are not so different...todays's players are pampered prima donnas in comparison...

They are pampered these days but the game is radically different. The pace of the modern day game is so much quicker; the balls and the surfaces. If we had access to the kind of stats we do now I bet it would show the players didn't cover half the distances they do nowadays.

Awful game, we were pedestrian at best without Sane and Sterling. KDB was useless and Aguero and Jesus nothing to write home about.
