Arsenal will get battered at the Etihad sadly.

Oh Arsenal.

Yep. Pulling out + Paqueta looking to go down doesn't mean it's not a pen.

I can't believe there's a debate about the penalty tbh. It would certainly never get overruled by VAR anyway.

He was probably our man of the match yesterday too (not really much of a compliment though). The man's absolutely class and I expect him to be our number 1 for a few more years.

I don't trust these % chance things that Sky keep using. They seem to change dramatically even after a team wins a game you expect them to win. I'd say if Liverpool or Villa finish ahead of us, then we've probably fallen well short of 4th. If we just average a point a game for the rest of the season, Liverpool and Villa have to win all but 1/2 games to catch us.

Absolutely. This should have been a weekend where Spurs closed the gap. I would have classed a draw for us and an 'inevitable' Spurs win as a satisfactory weekend. Villa and Brighton need to go away, but weirdly this has been a good(ish) day for us. Just hoping our performance was a one off...

I think most of us would have been satisfied with a win and 2 draws.

If Spurs keep up this form they'll end up on 69 points which is probably what I'd expect from them. 14 points from 9 games should do it for us. Sounds easy when you put it like that, but the next 2 months will be torture (unless Bournemouth fancy doing us a favour on Saturday...)

Take a point here definitely. Do we ever win the early BT game?

An undeserved and unconvincing Spurs win is the 2nd best result after a draw.

I think that's probably the best result, but can't help feel that we need to see Brighton's momentum stopped. Right now they scare me more than Spurs.

Brighton really terrifying me. Not sure what we want from Spurs v Brighton on Saturday?

Would be lovely to finish a couple of early chances and have a stress free night. Gonna be a close one.

Man Utd fans (and players) have been desperate to convince themselves that if they'd have just bothered to try yesterday then they'd have won. Same way they tried to convince themselves we parked the bus at Old Trafford for 90 minutes. Arrogant, deluded lot.

How many completely undeserved 1 goal wins have Spurs had this season? So annoying.

Is it going over the top to say nobody in the world could realistically have come in when he did and done a better job?

Genuine question, has that football insider account ever been right?

Staggering how Chelsea can spend so much and be in the bottom half of the table. Unbelievably embarrassing for all concerned.

Yep was quite annoyed when they got him. I also expected Mourinho to at least win a League Cup for them. FWIW I don't expect Nagelsmann would do any better than either of them, I'd just be worried of a new manager bounce this season.

Not sure how to feel about this. Felt more comfortable with a half arsed Conte in the job.

Joelinton 'handball' v Southampton in the cup too.

ITV giving Matterface the main commentator gig is genuinely one of the most baffling decisions ever.

I think there needs to be a clampdown on refs deciding to not enforce the rules for random reasons. The ref in the last 20 minutes of that 7-0 game was a disgrace for refusing to book any Man U players. Same as Tierney not booking any Forest players because it was early. Man U have been insanely lucky this season, I'm convinced it will all come crashing down. It is not sustainable surely?

Happy for him to get a ban, but still unbelievable that Fernandes got away with manhandling a linesman.
