That was coming. We’ve let them back into this game.

Leverkusen are incredible. They were facing their first loss of the season and just equalised in the last minute of injury time.

Scenes for the player arrival was insane. Will have given them a huge boost. Absolutely superb form everyone there. 

The fans did brilliantly but I can’t help thinking the players look slightly awkward rather than inspired

Unai, Ollie and Emi seemed to like it the most.

There’s a world where West Ham beat Plop we win against Chelsea then beat Liverpool and we’d only be 2 points behind them with two games to go… 

I want Liverpool to beat West Ham, we need them still in the title race when they play Spurs.

This is the new ticketing website that they changed to a few weeks ago

Maybe the old website would have been better

I never had a problem with the old system!

I thought I had a terrrible experience buying the tickets but sounds easy compared to some on this thread. Took me 45 minutes of ‘queueing’, several crashes but I got seats where we normally sit. It was so unnecessarily stressful though.

I was cursing the club for not adding extra criteria as we’ve been to most league games and every single conference game including Hibs.  I would have been fuming if we hadn’t got tickets. Would it have been so hard for the club to have had priority to those who had been to one group game and one knock out or something similar that would have halved the amount of people trying to get in at once. The demand was obviously going to be massive.

Same, but if we don't it's not the end of the world.  Spurs have no plan B so will play their high intensity attacking football against Arsenal, I can see Arsenal carving them open.

Sort of but you can guarantee they will get those 6pts from the Burnley and Sheff Utd games and make up the goal difference too so we really do need to get more points on the board before we run out of games to do so.

Is De Zerbi still being linked with the top jobs in European club football? 

Yes, everyone loves him apparently.

Just give them the title now and let us concentrate on who gets fourth.

We don’t want it wrapped up before they play spurs.

Incredible header from De Bruyne.

They don’t seem terribly confident.

But I thought a team like Chelsea should be wiping the floor with us?

(I’m still bitter about the words of that slippy scouse fraud!)

They’re as sure they’re going to lose to us as we were sure we were going to lose to Arsenal away.

Reading this thread tonight, Palace are now world beaters, The Harlem Globetrotters of Football. Chelsea and Liverpool now easy games For Villa and Spurs. Anything else I missed?

 

 

 

 

About sums it up. Come back tomorrow after Brighton beat City and we’ll be worried about them too.

Yes on the other hand the Liverpool game looks easier now 

Spurs will be thinking the same unfortunately.

Palace 2-0 up. Could really do with them shaking off this little good spell before we have to play them.

Sheffield United scored again!

United equalised.

This up and at em kick and rush football is so uncouth. Such a waste of energy and fatigue. Compare this to the 4D chess our King Unai has us playing.

Fun to watch tho.

I think we're guaranteed 6th more or less as Newcastle play Man Utd in the run in. 

Yep apparently this result confirms that we can finish no lower than 6th.

Just now, MWARLEY2 said:

Yep

 Emery will be really pissed about the FA Cup result and how we played. 

Ha, love it.

We’re going to get the reaction performance on Saturday aren’t we?

Those prediction percentages swing massively with every result at this stage of the season. If Chelsea beat us and Spurs beat Arsenal, which is not implausible, that 80/20 would probably flip back in Spurs' favour. 

Agree. That account and supercomputers are a load of old nonsense.

He did have a choice in this didn’t he? We haven’t just triggered an extension on our own? He has had to willingly sign something?

Best news ever!!!

Great character and has had some great games this season but, I think he's been in pretty poor form since he came back from the ban. 

He’s had one dodgy game against Lille in which they were all crap.

5 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said:

To get the control he gets here, Unai would need to replace both Tuchel and Rummenigge at Bayern.

I think people underestimate the degree to which we've given him the keys to the castle.

 

I don’t underestimate it, I just slightly worry about it. It’s obviously working at the moment and long may it continue but it does come with risk. Anyway, I genuinely believe he is 100% committed here at the moment. No way has he worked this hard to get distracted at this stage of the season. I’ll be happy if the managerial merry go round passes him by in the summer tho.
