I am glad we didn't qualify for Europe because it will give the team a better chance next season of finishing higher up in the league and qualifying for Europe.

Thanks, that was my intuition. And presumably you can qualify for ECL by finishing around midtable in German/Italian leagues due to extra places and Atalanta winning Europa

Were we unlucky? Is 7th normally ok for Europe?

Nope but they have connected Shearer's negative comments on match of the day to this result to create some sort of "told you so" narrative

This bloke's last minute equaliser against Bournemouth turned out to be a crucial point.

Nearly everything about the table reconciled with my intuition.

Crazy that the year is 2024 and there is no legal means of watching your team in a last game of the season European qualification decider in the UK.

If Isak cuts back instead of shooting, it is impossible for man united to defend given the overload we have. You just have to make use of the extra bodies in that situation as you turn a 50/50 chance into an 80/20. That said, Isak has been as good as anyone in the league in 1 on 1 situations this season.

He is a fantastic player but a bellend. The kind of player you would love if he played for your team

Dubravka does know how to save shots which is a bit unfortunate for a goalkeeper

Agreed it doesn't but it demonstrates contact on the back of an Achilles which is usually a foul. I stand by that VAR gives a penalty if casemiro challenge doesn't happen. Anyways, we move on!

Your watching the same game as the var official. Look at amrabat not casemiro. And look at Gordon's heel following the challenge

Pretend casemiro is not there and VAR gives a penalty. Var is not checking the other foul

Carrying too many passengers here

Rival fans pissing on another team's chips whenever they do anything remotely successful. Particularly when it is a non 'big six' team. E.g. Villa on verge of qualifying for champions league and all the noise is about how unsustainable it is. Perhaps, but they deserve it, much like we did last season. If you can't enjoy the relative good times in football then what's the point?

Amazing stadium, partly because it is slap bang in city centre surrounded by pubs, and it's also a great design like you say. With the roof down, atmosphere is excellent

Better than Declan Rice wasn't he ?

I thoroughly dislike Jim's intentions of using the "Wembley of the North" as a means of building political capital for his own private gain but some of the comments on here about a 70 year old bloke that has just run a marathon are ridiculous

Not sure if this is sincere or not but I genuinely given them credit. The premier league has turned a football competition into a game of accounting. If they want it to be a game of accounting then this is the inevitable outcome. The premier league invented the game, Chelsea are just playing it.

Ollie Watkins that an outrageous finish. Cantona-esque

Longstaff gets his pocket picked at least 5 times a game and on nearly all occasions they lead to a potential break away goal to the opposition

We must be tracking one of the lowest pass completion rates on record at this point.

For 3rd, I think Tino has to drop deeper in that situation and use the other covering defender to take care of the ball carrier.

My experience of goalkeeping is limited to a 5 minute stint during a weekly five a side, where I make token efforts to save shots, with the hope that my stint will end early if I make zero effort. At the risk of being harsh to Dubs it sometimes feels that he is adopting the same strategy. Just doesn't save anything.
