I have to admit the West Ham result and Nolan sending off cheered me up a lot. They really are in deep ****.
 
Moyes really needs to learn the rules of the game. It may have been a penalty but how was it a clear goal scoring opportunity? ****ing moron.

It's between Everton and Liverpool for fourth place, hopefully the former gets it!

Don't think I'd rule out United or Spurs either just yet. Couple of injuries and both Everton and Liverpool's squads don't look too great. The fact that Spurs are only 2 points off despite being poor for 90% of the season so far is pretty ominous imo. Fans/pundits/media all been lavishing praise on how well Everton and Liverpool have been doing and how **** Spurs are, but they are still well in touch and can only get better as their new players settle in more.
 
I am not really sure what people expect from Mata. He sulked a bit on the sidelines it's true, but who wouldn't be frustrated at being taken off early in a 0-0 game when you feel like you could make a difference?

It's hilarious to me that Mourinho gets so much credit for his subs. If he's such a fantastic manager and Willian and Oscar were the difference, then why weren't they in the starting XI to start with? And it's not like he spotted some tactical advantage to exploit today, he's been subbing like that all season. He could have just as easily substituted Lukaku and Victor Moses only then he wouldn't have got as much credit.

Mourinho's not a bad manager. And I don't blame him for having certain players he likes and using them to his advantage because they suit him. But that's really the minimum standard for competency. Just most other managers don't get the luxury of picking their own squad. Mourinho is basically the asshole who plays Football Manager and always picks Barca and then brags when he wins like he did something. Pretty sure he would totally go back to a save after losing and pretend he didn't.

We have had injuries, Gerrard, Sturridge, Enrique, Henderson, Sakho and Allen are all out atm. Henderson played yesterday but he has a slight niggle and needs to be rested. We really do need to strengthen in this window if we wish to maintain a top four finish.

I don't think spurs will finish in the top 4, penalties have won them plenty of points this season, surely they'll stop getting pens and then they'll actually have to start playing proper football.

Hoping you guys can finish about 8th, hope you pip Newcastle to that spot, you play some good football <ok>
