So the penalty should be based solely on intent? I finally saw the replay and thought it was a solid call, but it’s not as if I know the letter of the rules.
Today is why I think the rush to give Ole the permanent manager gig is premature. I want to see how the squad closes the season after the emotional wave post-Mourinho subsides. For me, they have to make the Top Four spots for him to get the job. The Champions League is just icing on the cake, unless they did the impossible and won it.It was a good day:
This is why they should wait until the season ends to make a permanent hire. Play was very uneven from mid week to today. It’s understandable why that happened, but the manager’s job is to minimize it happening.
The fact they lost to their biggest competitor for a top 4 spot magnifies the loss.
He was 11 points out and closed that lead hurry. The fact they are sniffing it is a tiny miracle. I’m sold and one road loss isn’t making me pump the breaks.
I am not saying OGS does not get the job. I am saying there should be no hurry to make it official. Wait for the entire body of work to inform things.
What if Utd go on a streak of poor results and they finish 5-6 points outside the top four? Does that change how people feel? Probably.
They gain nothing by rushing a decision.

Congrats, now here is your participation trophy!Boy, it sure is silent around here when Liverpool plays and WINS!
Of course, had they lost, the small-minded cheap-seat folks would come out like cockroaches in the dark!
Liverpool 3 - FC Bayern Munchen 1.
"We now return you to your normal programming!"

Keep pulling those PUDS.

Trent Alexander-Arnold believes Liverpool’s three wins in the space of a week demonstrated they’re ‘a force to be reckoned with’ as the season edges towards its decisive finale.
The Reds recorded victories over Burnley, Bayern Munich and Fulham to return to the top of the Premier League table, albeit having played a game more than Manchester City, and move into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The latest triumph – at Craven Cottage on Sunday – needed Jürgen Klopp’s men to recover from the setback of conceding a late equaliser to go on clinch a 2-1 success.
“To be able to bounce back and show our character was good for us,” Alexander-Arnold said.
“These are the ones that maybe go unnoticed during the season, but they are vitally important for us. And I think we will probably look back at the end of the season and think that, whatever the outcome may be, this game was important for us.
“The full week – the goals we have conceded at home to Burnley, when we went down at home, it was tough going to Bayern, and then conceding a late equaliser against Fulham was tough.
“Mentally we have been through a lot of tests this week, but come out with three wins and that’s all you can ask from the lads.”
Arsenal’s eight remaining matches: Newcastle (13), Everton (11), Watford (8), CP (14), Wolves (7), Leicester City (10), Brighton (14), and Burnley (17). Good chance for 3rd.
Yeah they do seem to have a favorable lineup coming down the stretch. MU has City, Chelsea, Everton, and Wolves again with some relegation teams mixed in there. I think they finish at 5, but you never know.
Correct, MU at 5...Spurs hold on to stay at 4, but they have sh!tterpool, City( also play them 2 more for UEFA), and Everton left. It will be City, Pool, Arsenal, Spurs, MU I imagine, but MU could hop into that 4th spot.
Messi is in pretty good form this year...don't see MU advancing beyond this round.
Don't all teams play every other team home-and-home(ish)?Geez. Does Sandy Barbour schedule for the GUNNERS.
CUPCAKES.
I guess they can’t soften the schedule playing the relegated clubs. This is no place for Sandy.
Yeah, I checked earlier myself. Home and away, once in the first 19 matches and the second match during the second 19. Simplicity itself.
Lol. I gotta own that one. Damn. Well, it’s nearly four, time for “Keeping Up Appearances.” Toodles!Thanks, Niles
