Even if they don't drop points today we have a game in hand and the same points (better gd too). And Burnley have it in them to injure a few of their players before the final whistle blows.

Yep.

If one team had to pick up max points it’s chelsea.

As you say game in hand and United next week

2-2!

Well done Kevin friend.

Booking a player for time wasting in first half

Burnley are up there with Watford in terms of general physicality. A game between them would be a classic....

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

F.cked his Achilles there ?

 

[Legohamster]

Excellent. Some nice injuries

 

[AdamB]

Good half (for us). I'd still think Chelsea have a decent chance of top 4 though even if they draw this. I cant see Arsenal getting more than 7 points from their final 4 games, if that

Either of those vile clubs not making CL is fantastic. And this article - true or not - made me smile". https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/apr/22/manchester-united-stars-exit-miss-top-four

United are continuing to identify a candidate to become the club’s first technical director. While the position may be filled internally it is understood it is unlikely to be by Mike Phelan, Solskjær’s assistant manager.

In a move first reported by the Guardian last August, whoever is appointed will undertake a position that works alongside the manager in a strategic fashion, with regard to the first-team squad and the progression of players from the academy.

What's Comolli up to? He was little appreciated but arguably a stepping stone for two PL clubs.

I could see Utd selling Pogba; Solskjaer doesnt seem to be line someone who would put up with prima donnas, so if Barca were willing to pay a fat fee, I could see them taking it

Just switched in for the 2nd half. 2-2 wasn’t what I was expecting at all.
Is that a fair reflection of the first half?

Chelsea have had more of the ball and more shots, with everything going through Hazard as always; Burnley have been Burnley.

It means United can lose to City and still have everything to play for when they meet Chelsea.

It’s a shame Burnley would want a fortune for Wood as he’s very good at what he does and more mobile than Llorente

 

[AdamB]

Will the chelsea transfer ban only cover incoming deals, or outgoing as well?

 

[Kandi1977]

Worth putting money on a Cheatski winner.

I'd say Hazard 2-2 Burnley is a fair reflection.
