Well lets hope Burnley go down then.

 

[Gray]

Well, that's a surprise. Has Moshiri thrown the owners a bung or something.

The fact they seem to not have any one in mind to take over from him immediately makes it even more of a shocker

 

[Raven]

Wrong move by Burnley.

 

[Aoami]

I can see why they've done it. They're just not doing what Burnley do anymore. Still surprised though, as I'm not sure who is about to take over. Shows how little loyalty there is in football, 10 years of over achievement with them and gone at the first real sign of danger.

 

[Raven]

Rafa to Burnley...anyone?

 

[caLLous]

Allardyce is more likely.

 

[Scouse]

Why would he?

Unless they've already got someone lined up I don't have a clue who would.

 

[Aoami]

Pulis? Warnock out of retirement? Mark Hughes?

 

[Raven]

I just think Rafa would be hilarious, especially if he kept them up.

 

[caLLous]

Legendary performance from Forster there.

He always seems to have a good game against Arsenal.

So we got relegated today, pretty exciting though! Lower league matches have a better feel to them

 

[Aoami]

League 1 is the fucking pits. Hard to league to get out of. Fair play to Rooney and the players, what an effort. Would've finished 17th without the points deduction which is amazing really.

 

[caLLous]

Honestly I'm so unexpectedly impressed with Rooney. First thing he said when asked how he felt after he knew they were going down was "proud".

He is always proud going down, others not so much

 

[caLLous]

I know it's like "well, yeah, duh" but this is pretty damning...

 

[Embattle]

I think Man U being shut shouldn't be that surprising any more, they just look utterly uninterested.

 

[caLLous]

Nice one, Chelsea. Useless twats.

 

[Embattle]

Nice one, Chelsea. Useless twats.

Our defence is just laughable without our standard line up.

 

[caLLous]

I bet Rudiger was punching walls, watching that. I don't think Arsenal would've scored at all had he been playing, all of the goals were such gifts (and I can't believe VAR fell for Saka trapping Azpilicueta's arm and dragging him down). I thought Sarr did alright earlier in the season when he played but he looked hopeless tonight.

 

[caLLous]

Still not sure about this...

 

[Embattle]

Still not sure about this...

Won't make a blind bit of difference without structural changes.

 

[Raven]

He wont be manager by the end of next season.

 

[Aoami]

We'll see. Eredivise to United is clearly a massive step up, but he is very well regarded. United need a clear out and probably 7-8 signings. But they need to sign players that fit "a system" rather than a system of vibes and shirt sales.

 

[Aoami]

Looking at this squad, who do you actually want to keep? De Gea, Lindelof probably fine as a depth option, Fred, Bruno, Varane, Dalot fine as depth, Shaw fine as depth, Elanga, Hannibal. Maybe Rashford & Lingard. Rashford doesnt look interested at the moment and Lingard has never lit it up for United.

4 quality starters there, not including Ronaldo. You'd probably get rid of him if you're doing a rebuild.

 

[Aoami]

Missed Sancho off the above but can't edit

 

[Raven]

Or ask yourself, how many would get into a city or pool first 11. The club needs a complete rebuild, which won't happen under the board.

 

[Scouse]

They're currently the 6th best team in the country, right. In the Europa League spaces and 3 points off champions league?

It's all a bit hysterical.

 

[Aoami]

For commercially the biggest football team in the world?
