    I know the answer anyway, you'd have liked them to get top 4 to keep us out.

    Unlucky.

    You played some good stuff tonight and it was an enjoyable watch to be fair. However City will likely score from those chances you keep coughing up defensively and you know it....and so does every other Man U fan.

    Good season though and definitely now on the right track but can you make the signings to get closer over the summer is the big question.

    It's funny listening to ppl on SS trying to defend how ****e Frank is as a manager.

    Hasselbank "You can't expect him to come in and change things in 5 minutes"

    Try 10 matches <doh>

    I'm not expecting us to win but you do know the last time we played them we beat them right? That was at our ground, and at Wembley who knows.

    I'm less worried about the defence, we've kept more clean sheets than anyone in the PL. It's the lack of finishing up front which has cost us in recent months.

    obviously very popular in the media. Think Levy needs to hire someone like that to get the media onside with the spuds

    English and darling of the media probably because of the wider family ties.

    Would Frank take the Spurs job? I'm not so sure.

    That hadn't even occurred to me and you make a good point.

    I've seen what happened to their last few managers: They either hate the club and go mental or end up dead

    That first one is proper laugh out loud ****housery from Jose <laugh>

    The bloke in the last one has great hair.

    I can see lots of similarities between Conte and Frank - both ex-chelsea and both happy to throw the club and players under bus after every match <laugh>

    He shouldn't have even taken it.

    Threw himself under a bus, stood no chance.

    Potter could be a hell of a shout for Spurs. Ticks all the boxes.

    Worked at Chelsea.
    Wont ask for loads of transfers.
    Develops what he is working with.
    Plays decent football.

    He shouldn't have left the Championship. He was doing alright at Derby and could've moved on to another club and cut his teeth there.

    Mate this is all very well, but would Potter want to manage Spurs?

    I reckon he would, he needs to rebuild his reputation a bit.
    The issues at Chelsea were nuts, he'll never ever ever have the same issues with Levy.
    Cracking stadium, cracking training ground, Why not?

    His options are Tottenham or wait for something mid-table/bottom of the table or go abroad.

    Spurs are too stupid to give him the time he needs, just like Chelsea.

    Because his reputation is down to its last chance saloon. And Spurs being the debacle it is would be the nail in the coffin, if his stint at Chelsea isn't already. Just look at everyone who's managed Spurs in the past (take your pick) years. Poch being the only possible exception but even he ended up as a failure there.

    Realistically what Frank should do is take a break, then go back and learn the trade in the lower leagues and work his way back up.

    Potter would do well to wait for the Newcastle job <whistle>
