Possibly but maybe de Zerbi isn’t the messiah after all?

de Zerbi at ManYoo would be interesting but I suspect he's too clever to pick up the poisoned chalice

I think De Zerbi or Frank are perfect fits for Utd. If  anything has been proven over the last few years it's that 'a way' of playing beats bottomless pockets any day. Having both a la City ( and Utd) is even better.

Sports psychologists all over the world be booking flights to Dortmund / Cologne to pick Sancho’s mind.

Spurs were poor last night.

Will Big Ange still be their next season?

9 games in and some on here were talking about the title.

Can’t disagree but Odegaard not even in the top three?!

Rice (second) has been more consistent than Odegaard who has had a couple of injury-related off games to go alongside the sublime performances

Yeah, I can't argue with Rice and Rodri being ahead of Odegaard, although to be honest I don't think there was much of a gap between the top 5 this year, there are probably arguments that could be made for all of them. I don't know when the vote was held, but there seams to have been a bit of a "media campaign" for Foden over the past month, I wonder if that was an influence on the vote, or if that was because the result was known.

Goal scoring forwards/attacking midfielders are always going to get more votes than defenders or defensively minded midfielders. I think Foden is a worthy winner but there were lots of very strong contenders this season.

Tonali gets another 2 month ban - but suspended this time after voluntarily admitting another 50 incidents while at Newcastle.

I mean, silly ****er, albeit seems like an addiction thing and knows it was wrong and getting help. The bit that's making me 'hmmm' is the (anti-Newcastle, TBF) twitterers that say the bans's too light because he was actually betting on Newcastle games. Which I get but he was betting on Newcastle to win!! In a game he has a chance to influence - the horror - I should bloody hope he was trying to influence a Newcastle win.

"OK lads, we need to up our work rate, put pressure on tbe centrebacks and we can win this game! Plus I've got a tenner on it at 4 to 1."

I see Clattenburg has left his role at Forest as a referee analyst or whatever it was. Always thought the whole thing was a bit weird

Guardian article reports that Radcliffe was disgusted by the untidy IT department on his tour of Manu facilities. ZX spectrums containing training plans everywhere.

How on earth is that a penalty? Havertz trailed his keg looking for contact.

Had enough, going out on my bike.

I'll take that, can't quite believe we managed to hang on at the end of the season. See you in the premier league!

It's getting like basketball where manufacturing contact is a skill of the game.

It was however a penalty because having left a leg in there, the keeper duly obliged. At least as the laws are written right now.

I went out in a huff as I don't like the way the game is going. Looking forward to the rugby now when contact isn't manufactured.

Hmmm, watching a bit of the Man City game I'm not sure I want to go up to the premier now!

Nobody seems to want that fourth spot, do they?

Spurs are getting absolutely battered at Anfield

Still, it does seems like Levy made the right decision to get shot of Poch.

12 minutes in and I’ve already seen quite enough. It’s quite incredible how we keep coming up with new ways to be even worse, week on week.

My prediction that we’ll lose every game we have left this season is off to a flyer.

Finishing in the bottom half of the table looks like a very real possibility

Must be great being a 'keeper nowadays, just got to make a fuss that you were brutally attacked by a forward and the goal will be disallowed. Bert Trautmann would be astonished.

It’s a strange end to the season. West Ham, Spurs & United are just falling to pieces.

To be fair Palace are on a fine run, United have loads of injuries, top four is gone. It’s all part of the process.

ETH usually warbles some nonsense about the process. I’ve no idea what it is either, unless it’s trying to avoid European football altogether. Hopefully Bruno will want away in the summer and the transition to mid table mediocrity will be complete.

I’d be wary if my team found Ineos as a backer - Team Sky, Mercedes, Man Utd have all declined after he has come on board

All these sides falling apart when one or two key players are missing, just shows again what a superb job Eddie and Jason have done at SJP again. To think some fans were suggesting he had to go.

It's all gone a bit mad, you can see why Spurs are falling apart, players out of form at the same time as they've got the worst run in ever, Villa should be safe for the fourth spot, so it's all about 5th, Newcastle vs ManU next week should be a big one, but Chelsea are sneaking back in without much notice, they're above ManU now, who'd have thought that from a few weeks ago!

Utterly bonkers isn't it! Thankfully they all seem to have shut up. I reckon Howe and Tindall have done a better job this season than last. There's an outside chance we could make 5th and a couple of different results we'd be looking at CL again which is nothing short of a miracle given the fact we played with a makeshift midfield for 3 months and the last month with a makeshift defence. If we can hang on to Bruno and Isak in the summer next season could be crazy.

Yep, Newcastle hitting form again after a very poor mid season. On current form they’ll batter Man United!
