Disappointing not to get anything at 3-point-Bridge. Usually easy pickings for us there, but... one eye on the Europa League.

A big talking point from tonight's game was who has the worst keeper? We all know how bad Suarez is, but he was given.a lesson in being bad by the Spuds offering.
Two awful teams, but a deserved win for Chelsea.

Why doesn't Ange ever look directly at the camera or the reporter during interviews?

He always looks down.

He looks up when the question is being asked, but then looks at the microphone when he answers - I guess he’s not too proud of his teams performance!!

After the Toffee vs Arse draw today...

If Pool don't drop any points to Fulham, West Ham or Leicester. And Arse don't drop points to Brentford, Ipswich or Palace. Liverpool will take the title by beating Spurs at Anfield on Sunday 27th of April.

A fitting end to Tottenham's season. :laugh:

Crikey just seen the penalty given against Arse. I'd be fuming.

Since VAR, you've never seen that given before, nor will you see it again. :laugh:

Shame.

Not so sure you’ll never see it again, with the current crop of officials anything is possible, still I’d agree that it should never have been given, or at worst overturned upon review.

Can't believe Ange hasn't been sacked yet. He's, unfortunately, turned out to be the worst manager we've had in our recent history. Tactically inept. Arrogant. No plan B.

Utterly useless. :banghead:

Not sure whether he’s totally to blame (these days most managers have very little say in purchase acquisitions), but a new defence incl goalie might help his cause!!

Huge, huge game for Nottingham Forest against Spurs tonight. We've got nothing to play for in the league but we can make a difference in others outcomes. Makes for a more interesting game. Forest were sitting pretty comfortably in the champions league spots just a few weeks ago but now their incredible season is in danger of fizzling out. The title is over, relegation is decided... but only two points separate 3rd and 7th place for those remaining champions league spots!

As an aside, if Spurs or, god forbid United, win the Europa it'll mean six English teams in the Champions League next season! :D

The inevitable crowning of Liverpool as champions was confirmed yesterday with a convincing 5-1 win over Spurs, so just the remaining CL positions to play for (which looks quite interesting) as the relegation battle has also been confirmed without any last game of the season dramas to look forward to!!

As you rightly infer then the last day dramas will be for the various European places.

Personally I'm finding it quite exciting! I hope Forest don't miss out on UCL and Newcastle deserve it too

In other news Wolves got their 6th straight win, what a run they're on!

On paper it should have been two good games on tonight. Villa/Spurs, Chelsea/United. But with Spurs and United having nothing to play for except avoiding injuries for their final... while for Villa and Chelsea it's a massive 3 points towards Champions League... I'll be surprised if there's anything but a 3-4 nil drubbing in both games.

Youve obviously not been watching the Chelseas game! Dreadful, woeful performance by Chelsea. Managers lack of a plan B exposed again and not Playing Lavia or Chalobah, two of our best players is risible. But we might have a penalty........
