The whole thing stinks like , we value him at a certain price , if that price isn't paid you can't just throw your toys out the pram and threaten arbitration. What is the point in contracts etc if you can just get out of one by throwing a tantrum like Ashworth and Man United are doing here ?

I don't understand on what grounds he even has to take this to court ?

What an absolute wanker the bloke is , imagine a footballer not getting a move to a club that wanted him because they didn't pay his value so he decided to take the club to court .

If he even achieves half of what Milner has then he will have had an excellent career.

Aye he must have been looking around at some of the players we had on the pitch last night thinking I can do way better than this .

He always looks better coming off the bench , West Ham and Luton been his best games for us.

If we beat Sheff United we will be on the same number of home points as we got last season, highlights even further how bad we have been away from home . If we win our two home games and beat Burnley that should be enough for 7th.

Its a straight shootout between us and Man United for 6th, they have a very similar run in to us playing four of the same teams, will come down to that game at Old Trafford for who finishes 6th. As other have said the conference league is a bit of a joke trophy but seeing how West Ham fans went on last season and Villa fans this season, I do think winning it would be brilliant and its not like we can exactly be picky over which trophy we want to win.

He literally wants a free stadium and director of football without any gardening leave dosnt he . The arrogance of it , if ever an owner suited a club it's him and Man United .

I know you are always going to drop points but its madness that we only got two points from Forest , Luton and Everton at home , as well as losing at Everton and Luton, all three of them are terrible , even winning two of them games would mean we would pretty much have 6th guaranteed.

Didn't Rice only have a year or so left on his contract ?. Seem to remember he did so West Ham had no choice but to sell really . We hold all the cards with Isak and I would be astounded and also disappointed if we even entertained an offer for £100 million . It would basically mean we have no intention of trying to close the gap on Arsenal.

I think Gallagher would be a decent squad player, either way he's definitely a significant upgrade on Longstaff.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/apr/18/arsenal-eye-alexander-isak-michael-olise-search-for-striker-winger. It is understood that ­Newcastle’s striker Alexander Isak is one of the primary targets. He could cost about £100m and was heavily scouted by Arsenal before his move to St James’ Park in August 2022 for an initial £63m. 100 million must be some sort of joke , he's worth at least double that and even then I wouldn't sell him.

Have a feeling Munich will knock Arsenal out in the same way Dortmund beat us , not necessarily a better team but they have the experience and know how to win these sort of games a lot more than Arsenal do.

I'm not even bothered about that extra European spot , In some ways seeing Spurs or Villa miss out on champions league would be worth not getting the extra place . If we finish 6th we get European football so it's still in our hands and we have more chance of winning the conference league anyway, if we don't then so be it , we shouldn't need other teams doing us a favour and I can't be bothered wanting Arsenal to beat Munich anyway for the sake of it .

PSG and Dortmund both getting to the semis of the champions league would literally sum up our season .

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Chelsea didn't win tonight , they are not capable of putting a sustained run of results together and they still have to go to Arsenal , Villa and Brighton . We don't need to worry about them .

We play Palace and Sheff United before Spurs play again, if we win them both at the very least it will put even more pressure on them than normal for the home game against Arsenal. I don't think we will finish 5th but looking at the fixtures we have left it's reasonable we can certainly make Spurs work for it and to finish even within 5 or 6 points of them after the rotten luck and injuries we have had this season would be incredible. Man United also have some nice fixtures left so it looks a straight shootout between us and them for 6th.

We are obviously going to concede a few with that defence we have playing , I doubt Spurs will have come up against a worse defence all season. Still expect us to cause them a lot of problems going forward though .

Literally nobody cares he's leaving , it's just brilliant to see that weird Man United bloke trying to mug us over and us not allowing them to do so .

I agree , we really shouldn't be finishing any lower than 7th anyway with the fixtures we have left . Be great to see Villa or Spurs miss out on that extra champions league spot.

Why won't that dafty running Man United just pay the money we want , he just looks like a complete idiot by trying to wait this out and barter with us, is no way we are going to let him go on the cheap.

Even in that training game we had against the mackems in the cup you could tell the difference Joelintion makes, we cruised along in first gear until he went off injured, would likely have been 4 or 5 if he had stayed on. Once he went off we had to up it to second gear and they started to get forward a bit more, you could tell the midfield just wasn't the same and that was against a midtable championship club.

Exactly the same , I'm not really bothered about International football but think it's staggering the amount of stick Southgate gets when you look at his tournament record . Literally the only thing preventing him winning a major tournament was a penalty shootout . At the same time it would be hilarious if he got the Man United job.

Nobody knows really, he could be good, he could also be the next Villas-Boas, hopefully the latter.
