From 3rd to 5th and we are now one poor weekend from 8th.

When does he arrest the slide? Can he stop it?

 

Yes he can. But he has to drop Wilson. Who is letting him down.

I think we will finish top 7 but the season is fizzing out.

Could Howe be under pressure now?

 

Nah. A cup final and top 8 will keep people happy.

See how the club back him in the next window, how many are signed and then how we start next season.

 

I didn't see it but I'm listening to 5 Live regarding Fernandes shoving the linesman
how much a shove was it ??
was it anything like the Pardew shove where he got a ban

 

dedication…

 

Does it matter? Laying a hand on him is surely enough for a ban?

 

All I remember is Neville laying into him for diving and hitting the deck all the time. At one point he was hit gently in the chest so fell down clutching his face. Disgraceful. The media jury accept it as being part of the game. The authorities should review stuff like that and dish out retrospective bans.

 

well it does matter when it comes to the level of punishment dished out by the FA
and when they appeal any punishment they will cite that it wasn't a 'shove' merely an arm around the assistant - so no ban

 

Fair enough, didn't see it but like you said nothing will happen, ****ing disaster that result wiping out our GD in 1 game fs.

 

That was hilarious. I couldn’t believe my ears when that happened. Carra was almost pissing himself.

 

Manc Utd always give the opposition chances to score and Liverpool took them to the cleaners today. Its just a shame the cameras never picked out old red nose ferguson. What a picture that wound have made! 

 

If only we had good players in the final third.

 

If a top 5 team win the FA Cup, is 6th place a Europa League spot?

 

9
However, if the FA Cup winner finishes in the top five, their spot in the Europa League goes to sixth place. If the Carabao Cup winner finishes in the top six (and the FA Cup winner has already qualified for Europe via their league position), their place in the Conference League will go to seventh place.

 

A rare example of Fergie Time working in reverse. I assume they just felt sorry for Man U and we're trying to keep down the score.

 

An 8th place finish will not be doing well, it will be proper crap considering how we have been this season and where we are now.

 

but the integrity of the game is compromised
what if Liverpool needed one more goal to overtake Manure for a Champions league place
and the ref was at least 4mins short on time or another team needed one more goal to avoid relegation ??
too much money is involved for individual refs to make up what they want and determine a result
