Probably 75% likely we finish fifth and probably 75% likely fifth place will be a CL place. Getting CL is all that matters, out final position of fourth or fifth isn't really important.

Calling out his team mates in that interview.

If you read what he said he specifically states he is not calling out his teammates and he is included in what he said. 

Looks very good but needs to improve his fitness. Faded before he was taken off. A young lad like that should be able for 90 mins.

How can this guy be your first sub. 

I would have brought on Diaby instead of him to be honest and gone 4-3-3. 

Nobody in here clamouring to sign him now....

I’m gutted that we threw the City now. Playing a second string against city required nothing less than a win a Brentford. 

If we played our first team we still would have lost. Phil Foden was enough to beat whatever team we put out.

We won’t miss him at arsenal. Slate me all you like he’s been a shadow of his seasonal first half performances. 

We won't miss him because they will beat us with or without him.

See I don't get this after the two weeks they've had off. 

Two weeks isn't enough to recover. It's been a long season and most of today's team played against city midweek.

Bottled it yet again, will finish 6th at best

Look at the league table before you post. United won't catch us and Liverpool should beat them easily tomorrow. 

Likely to lose away to Arsenal next which means one point from three games. Brighton, palace and Bournemouth games are huge now. If you're a betting man it seems inevitable we will finish fifth, especially with more European games ahead. 

The game itself showed we are running on fumes. No energy, no pace, players walking around. Alright it's tough when BrentFord were defending so deep but you need to up the pace then. 

The only time we upped the pace was when it was do or die stuff at the end. Why didn't we start like that. When we got the equaliser the subs should have been made them. 

Lastly zaniolo couldn't trap a bag of cement when he came on. Looked woeful. 

Bring on Duran Duran for the winner. 

C'mon ya bastards!

The fouls they get for just falling over is mad 

Ref is awful for both teams.

Leon Bailey is infuriating

He's been back to his worst today. 

Fallen apart. Going to need a lot to win this now.

Surprised about China being more brittle than Russia but I guess that's down to Russia's raw materials,  oil, gas etc. 

Isn't 25% of the Chinese economy their construction sector? Also the one child policy will lead to disaster. 

Been city's best player in this second half. Running the game for them. 

Must win.

Is it literally the same job, though? 

No not really, every 3-4 years we end moving teams or doing something completely different. But the culture and approach is always the same.

This might sound a little strange but.... I've lost all interest in my job and work.

I think this has happened for a lot of people since COVID. Most of my colleagues are much less willing to pretend that they care about their job or appear motivated. The majority want to just work from home doing as little as possible. Companies are going to have to try to find new ways to motivate employees and forcing them to come back into the office 3+ days a week won't work either. Now one caveat is that I'm 20 years in the same job, like most of the people I know. At that point I guess everyone loses their motivation.

Ukraine war: Six Russian planes destroyed by drones, says Kyiv

Ukraine has carried out a drone attack against targets in southern Russia, and claims to have destroyed six Russian planes at an airbase in Rostov region.

Security sources told BBC Ukrainian eight more aircraft were badly damaged, and 20 service personnel could have been killed or injured.

The Morozovsk base houses Su-27 and Su-34 aircraft used on the front line in Ukraine, the sources said.

There has been no word from Russia on reports of an airfield attack.

The BBC has been unable to independently verify the reports.

However, Russian officials said that more than 40 drones had been aimed at the region, which borders Ukraine.

So West Ham then.

Moyes will be gone in the summer but if he stays he's a typical Moyes signing.

I think they'll cash in on Solanke in the summer 

I don't think anyone will want him. He's done okay this season but that could easily be a once off. He hasn't shown over the course of his career that he's worthy of a big move.
