Early morning disappointment. Never got into their stride.

Arsenal H
Man U H
Liverpool A
Chelsea A

Difficult :-(

Glass half empty today, JG? I don't see Arsenal H being anything like as difficult as Spurs A will be for the Arse!

A bit frustrating but the 'Ammers desrved the win neverthless. At least the other lot failed to achieve as well.
Interesting times with the only winners on the night being Leicester................and they didn't play :roll:

If the recent results continue, it's going to be a six horse race right down to the wire - great for the neutral like me, but no doubt nail biting for you serious fans.

Its certainly the most interesting Premiership for a few seasons......just forget the quality.
A bit of a surprise that the Spuds lost but West Ham are a good side and,looking at the table,have Champions League aspirations of their own !
Arsenal seem to have imploded.....Hull,Barcelona,United and,now,Swansea.....very disappointing results.
Citeh just seem to be playing well when it suits them,with Pellegrini leaving at the end of the season.
United were a bit lucky last night but seem to have found a blend of youth and experience by default.Varela,Fosu-Mensah,Rashford,Weir and Riley are all good youngsters who have benefitted from Warren Joyce's shrewd management of the Under 21's,of which they are top of the league.Not quite the class of 92 but at least a couple of them have what it takes to have a good career in the Premiership......not forgetting that Martial and Memphis are also youngsters,although big money buys.
Leicester....not wholly convincing at the moment but they are still top and most neutrals will hope they get the title,surely ?
Chelsea....coming good now but a big ask for them to make the top 4.....certainly a good bet to lift the FA Cup.

At the bottom,Villa are gone......Norwich are on a dreadful run and its hard to see where they can pick up a win,at present......looks like its between Newcastle and Sunderland for the last relegation spot.When I've watched Newcastle they seem to have some decent players but the results dont measure up and you wouldnt bet against Big Sam.
We're all on our uppers,we're all going skint,

Are any of the top 4 interested in winning the title? FFS. I have a training tip for Wenger to pass on to Aaron Ramsey, pass the ball to a player in a red shirt.

Unfortunately, that's not enough for us, although in the end we must be happy with a point. Still, Ramsey had a chance to win the match. Cracking match but now I have to grow new finger nails.

I would have preferred a win but I'll take the draw at this stage.

Would be nice if Watford did us a favour later..........................

Good season :cheers:

Great game for the neutrals, Dier should have been off though.

Spurs were just holding on at the end. Arsenal have to be happy with a point but Spurs, the form team, were favourites to win, so must be disappointed with a draw.

And other than an Arsenal win, Leicester must be happy with the draw while they got a 1-0 win. Don't overlook those noisy guys from Manchester who had a 4-0 win, albeit against the leagues whipping boys, but they're still in there with a shout. And last but not least, the 'Ammers got a good away win at Everton to keep their momentum going.

And I thought Chelsea had some momentum going as well! Really disappointed we wasted the opportunity to go up to 7th in a game that was there for the taking, but too many eyes and minds on midweek and next weekend cost us, plus yet another error by Courtois.

Meanwhile........

Can't see why it's a shock move and predicted by me earlier in this thread! :D

And Giggs will manage Man U, it's got to be the only reason he is there as LVG clearly doesn't want him there, doesn't discuss the game or substitutions or even talk to him. I'm guessing the board made it a stipulation in his contract.

Perhaps he just uses Giggs to check his spelling of the novel size notes he takes during a game.
