Lukaku again no shows against top opposition. Might need to keep Ibra as a ringer.

[devo22]

yeah, let's blame Lukaku for that defensive freakshow and Mourinhos tactical "masterclass".

Did he at least headbutt someone? I think he has a bonus clause in his contract for a minimum of 10 headbutts. I think he even gets paid extra if its Sergio Ramos.

Granted, nobody but Sergio Ramos is losing sleep over that.

no, unfortunately Dele Alli came away unscathed. It's a shame, I know.

A good Fellaini headbutt might smarten that kid up a bit.

Banter is no fun if I have to be logical. Everyone has been poor for United tonight.

United fans are notorious buzzkillingtons.

With today's results spots 2-6 are wide open.

The 4th place trophy is on Sunday

we're a lot of fun at parties, I swear! (only when United win though lol)

I think 2-5 is wide open. Arsenal is done.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I thought Sanchez (Davinson) was MOTM. Impressive performance.

He was excellent today though. Sure, he didn’t need to blatantly trip Alexis Sanchez and I think those should be straight red. But then again it’s Sanchez.

Spurs looked good today though. United put almost nothing up in the second half, and before that was due to them quitting completely, it was because Spurs pressured them and just plain out-worked them. Now it’s onto Liverpool and what should be a good game.

[devo22]

he's a great footballer obviously. But I absolutely can't stand the kid, I hope he smartens up at some point.

congrats on the win though, fully deserved. Vertonghen, Dier, Dembele, Sanchez ... all brilliant today.

I've recently had the pleasure of meeting Cam so I have empirical proof that you're lying.

I kid Cam, I kid.

If he was on any other team I would despise him. Much like Matthew Tkachuk!

Fellani got injured Jose said

His quote on the Jones OG was great too cant find it in print but it was something like "a goal harry Kane would be proud to score"

It really was a great finish

Spurs back 4 were very solid after a shaky start where united were dangerous, but after about the 20th minute it was mostly one way

[d_phaneuf]

Giroud should help Chelsea by if I had to pick a team to miss out on top 4 it's probably them

I known the advanced stats show united are due to drop some points, and allow a few extra goals, but DDG likely keeps out performing them

Also don't think arsenal are fully out, if PEA comes in and gets hot he's going to save them a ton of points. They need Ozil and Wilshere to stay healthy and consistent as well which is always a risk

[Senator Clay Davis]

Arsenal's defense is simply too poor to see them making up the gap on fourth. But they of course have the Europa League backdoor (although Aubameyang is tied), so you wonder if they take the same approach as United last year and put all their eggs in one basket.

Also as I'm sure some have seen on social media, the new Arsenal big four are to be known as LMAO (Lacazette, Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang, Ozil), which is simply perfect.

I don't think that they can make it to 4th either, but there are a lot of points on the board still. I do think that its largely 2-5 that will change and it will be interesting to see who ends up on the outside looking in and how that is viewed. Chelsea would be the most obvious maybe, just based on the fact that Conte is probably gone regardless.

In other news, the WHU director of recruitment is suspended pending an investigation because he refused to sign African players. It will be interesting to see the fallout from that one.

Mahrez skips Leicester training for the second time this week.

Something tells me that somebody isnt happy...

But didnt Leicester value him at £95M? I like him, but not that much, but its City, so theres a premium to be paid.
