Damn!!!They never tired to create more and more bad record. The strong foundation built by Fergie is failling in matter of years.
All of their huge records are just nothing more than their history.

They have lost 18 premier league matches - the worst outcome recorded by the red devils since 1973/74 season.
Amorim has confirmed that much work is to been done next season. The club is probably the talk of the league, as a result of poor performance which wasn't expected by both fans and opposing clubs.

Although Amorim has confirmed so much work to be done as preparation for the next season. I can't really trust him at all. He unable to utilize the squad, which is above the average squad in the premier league. he deserves one more season, but must be sacked if there will be no progress.

I don't expect anything surprising in the Aston Villa vs Tottenham game tonight. Aston Villa are highly favoured for the win. Tottenham have no target left except the EL trophy.

Tottenham target right now is the Europa league, and as we can see they are performing poorly in premier league, but their performance isn’t so bad in the Europa league, maybe it’s because they haven’t faced any strong club in the Europa, but the Europa final is going to be a difficult one for d two clubs.

Aston villa will be facing Tottenham today, the match should be a easy win for Aston villa because they really need it, they want to qualify for the champions league, and if they don’t win todays match, they will find it difficult to qualify for champions league. Tottenham is at the bottom of the table, and they only want to win the Europa league right now, so they will focus on the Europa league match, and won’t really take todays match so serious.

Just as predicted Tottenham was not a difficult task for Aston Villa. Aston Villa were able to defeat them by two goals to keep their Champions League hopes alive for next season. On the other hand Tottenham are in 17th position in the league table and the only hope they have of making something meaningful of this current season is to win their Europa league final when they face Manchester United.

Crystal Palace are in the 12th place in the league but they are still going to join the Europa League. But they really deserved it by making a high effort in the FA Cup.    This is their biggest success in who knows how many years...

There is more to that. Manchester United or Tottenham are also going to be even in the Champions League next season. Although they are both about to finish the PL near the relegation area... This is really unbelievable.

They have a solid manager who's won the Europa League Competition before with Frankfurt. I saw that video of him warning Pep Guardiola about his style of play and tactics ahead of the finals saying they'll solve it and he did. He walked the talk and I became a solid fan that day they won the FA Cup against City. Too much been said already about this game. No more rush now, Wednesday will come and go.

Initially he planned on scrapping out some players to generate funds to purchase a better striker that could do just about 27 goals in the next season. And as of last month they had Osimhen in mind, I don't know what his new approach to lifting up the red devils off the mud is like. If he fails this time, they'll be no more excuses.

Let’s wait and see how next season is going to be, but if Amorim doesn’t sign some players, I don’t think their will be any changes in Manchester United performance next season, this season have been a terrible one for Manchester United, since Amorim joined Manchester United, their is no changes yet in Manchester United’s performance, I will say their performance keeps on getting worst, which is really a bad thing, I really expected more from Amorim but he performed below my expectation.

Amorim performance is so poor in the premier league, but their performance is not bad in the Europa league, probably it’s because they are facing weaker teams in the Europa league league, but the final will be against Tottenham, they are also performing poorly, so i think Manchester United should be able to win. But if United wins the Europa league, that shouldn’t change the fact that Amorim performance is horrible, and he will have to improve.

Is increible how bad and how is ruining Manchester United reputation this team, but worst of all of this is.... This team can win something being the worst team in Manchester United era on Premier League, and guess who is not gonna win anything having one of his best teams in recent history? Yes Arsenal, just incredible.

This is like the worst season ever for Manchester United. Even in their history maybe, I don't know that part. 

They can still win the Europa League even in this situation which is very awkward. You are near the relegation zone but still winning one of the European tournaments...

Amorim will have a 2nd chance and he had better make use of it by building a strong team.

[SmartCharpa]

City will definitely be in the top five to be in UCL next season, that's not an issue. I am pretty sure that we are going to end up making a ton of money with what we are dealing with here, because City will turn the ship around and be MUCH better next season, but people will not bet accordingly, they will bet like this season City is the same as next season, but the problem is the odds will show them not be that dominant and yet they will be dominant.

So for a while (specially at the start), City will get odds like 1.70 or whatever, when they could win 4-0 and that is why betting on them could make us a lot of profit and should be amazing for us. Could be a trouble for all of us if they are once again not good at the start though.

Many people are making fun of Manchester City for next season due to their poor performance this season. Manchester City previous two games against Southampton ended in a draw where the team failed to score a goal. However, I was not surprised that Manchester City failed to score against Southampton because, no matter how badly Southampton performs in the league, Manchester City always finds it difficult to defeat them. I remember the last time Southampton played in the Premier League, I bet on Manchester City to beat them, but even with their great players, the match ended in a draw.

However, Guardiola should not rely on the present players for next season, they have strong players, but it does not mean he should not go for new signings. If Guardiola wants to be at the top as he was in previous seasons, he needs to strengthen the midfield since De Bruyne is leaving the club.

[Black Mbaye]

What Arsenal really needs is not just a striker, I mean sure they need a proper striker, someone who is amazing at scoring goals, not just like a "forward" but like a goal scoring machine. But they are not enough with just that, they do have a great defense, Saliba is insane, but they need everything in between those.

I would get a whole new midfield if it was me, they need a very quick, Kante type defensive midfield who would be not only running around, but covering a lot of ground and have high stamina too, and when people see KDB, they think of attacking midfield, but they do not need a cheap version of that with Odegaard, I would get someone who is more towards attacking, instead of just playmaking, an overall better attacker.

When you look at Arsenal’s squad you can boldly say they have good defense, good midfield combination even though not 100% efficient but more than average level but attacking wise they are weak especially after losing Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus so they need a striker desperately not even a choice.

I agree with this. Arsenal, who do not have many problems in the defense and midfield, really have shortcomings in the attacking area. We also see many good attacking players in the world. They can bring a few of them to the team in the transfer season. Arsenal has problems in the attacking area, where many teams do not have problems. If they had a good player like Haaland, they could be one of the strong candidates for the championship this year.

Hojlund seems like getting a lot of backlash from the people and that means we are going to get a greater trouble, if we could get that to be an issue that should not be an issue at all. If we could get a greater return, then we could see this becoming a farewell for him. If he leaves for another team, I am suspecting him to be something that would be similar to Antony situation, because if he leaves, he will leave a terrible team and will go to a decent team and could start scoring a lot.

Depends on which team he will go to but if he could go to a good team then he could score a bunch. In that case, it would be good for him and it would be terrible for United because two players that left them would end up being great.

It's funny how Manchester United has a player like Hojlund as a striker but are passing on an opportunity to get an attacker like Victor osimhen or any other in form strikers that will help their team out in situations. In fact aside from Amada and a very few they have not made any smart move when it comes to the market.
The news to change that come next season if they want to compete for anything, yes the coach should take responsibility for the team poor and good form but right now United players aren't sufficient to compete for major silver ware. In as much as they made it into this year Europa League they need to change so many players especially their first choice keeper.

Yet another game by Man City when they couldn't convert their dominance in the field into a win.
Despite having possession of 79% and more than three times as many shots on goal as Crystal Palace, they lost 1-0 in the FA cup final after an early goal by Eze.
But they will have a chance to redeem themselves on Tue, when they are playing an outstanding home game of the round 37 against Bournemouth. If Man City wins, they would make a jump from their current 6th place, right into the 3rd place. And if they manage to defend that 3rd place in the final game of the season (they play away against Fulham), that could be viewed as a success given the big crisis they faced earlier in the season, when fans were told to accept the possibility of the club not making it to the final 4.

At least things changed in the second half of the season for Manchester city and now their fate of making the top 5 is now in their hand. Things would have been awful if Manchester city were not going to make the champions league. Even when Manchester city were on losing streak I didn't see the possibility of them not making the champions league, because I knew that city were going to bring in some players during the January transfer window. Luckily they made some brilliant signings which helped them to gain some level of stability and today the fans are smiling again that champions league football is within their reach once again. Despite the disappointment of the FA cup final, Manchester city will definitely get the 4 points that they need to make the champions league spot.

Yeah, even with their losing streak back then I still believed they were still going to make the top 4 but now that UEFA has even made it more easier for them, a top 5 finish will still give them the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season, so if they miss it then it's theirs to lose. But I still believe and feel like they will still make it to the competition for next season. They still have two games left against Bournemouth and Fulham which will be 6 points if they manage to win both. They've had few good streaks in the league in the last few weeks, at least 4 wins in their last 5 games n, if not for that goalless draw they had against Southampton the last time, it would have been 5 wins in 5 games. They just need to try and get maximum points from these two remaining games.

In the match between Brighton versus Liverpool currently in half time, Liverpool is winning by a score of 1:2, Elliott scored the first goal in 9 minute but it was equalized by Brighton's Ayari in the 32 minutes before Szoboszlai succeeded in putting the Reds ahead in the die minutes of halftime. I think the Brighton's goalkeeper was responsible for the second goal because he didn't position well or probably he was thinking that Szoboszlai will cross the ball but it ended at the back of the net. The second half has started now lets see if Brighton can get an equalizer or Liverpool extends the scoreline.

Southampton really fucked City up, I don't really know what to say that made Southampton performed that way against Manchester city. Ordinary Southampton that other teams has been winning with ease, it got to Manchester city turn they became stronger than they have been all season. City did everything they could to win that match, but it didn't work for them. Had city won that match and win against Bournemouth tomorrow, they would have secured the top 5 finish with a game to spare. But they have to wait till the last day of the league to book their place in the top 5.

When the season is about to end thats when the teams in relegation zone are always dangerous, stronger teams are not suppose to joke with them at that period of time. Manchester City really needed their match against Southampton, but they couldn’t win the match which really affected Manchester City, actually people expected Manchester City to win, but everyone were just surprised with the result of the match. Manchester City not winning against Southampton is the reason why they are in their current position. Southampton have nothing fighting for, but they tried to stop Manchester City from qualifying for the champions league.

Yes it is always advisable to avoid teams that have just relegated or are avoiding relegation because for the ones that have not relegated they can go just anything to stay in the league and that’s why they are very competitive in the last games. As for those already relegated once their players see the team they are up against they put in a shift of performance this to me is done for them to get a new club in the league and not fall with their present club. Aside Southampton who have up their game since they were relatgated there is also Leicester city who have won more games since been relegated than some months when their fate hasn’t been decided. So it is actually a player decision rather than the club

Brighton football team won the match by doing 3 goals in today match and that was brilliant match for both teams as no team gave up in this match and we saw equal effort by both players of teams . Liverpool team could do 2 goals in this match and that was their performance and they lost the match in the end .Elliott did goal at 9 minutes and at the early stage of match but after that players of Brighton team made pressure in this match and did back to back goals in this match and we saw result in the favour of Brighton team . Hinshelwood was a person who did last goal of the match and he played crutial role in this match because without this there could be draw match but we saw result of match.

Unfortunately, Liverpool failed to win the match (FT: Brighton 3-2 Liverpool). They were only leading with 1 goal in the first half of the match, but they were conceded 2 goals in the second half. Brighton deserves to win because they played with a better motivation and they made more attempts in scoring goals. They also have a better accuracy, they made 12 shots on target, meanwhile Liverpool only made 5 shots on target. Well, I think Liverpool has a worse defense in this match. I don't understand that Arne Slot only put Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold, and Robertson in the bench. As far as I know Liverpool only has the match in EPL, so Arne Slot doesn't need to worry about the players' condition. Even if Arne Slot wants to give more time to play for second team, it seems too many main players to put on the bench.

The possible means of Manchester City qualifying for the Champions League next season is in their hands if they win their two remaining matches, not lose or draw anyone, as they are the only teams that have two matches to play, while the rest clubs of the Premier League have a match to play as their last match of the season. Despite all of that, this season will not be recorded as a good season for Manchester City because they won no trophy. This is what hasn't happened in Manchester City for long. I believe Manchester City management will put in their best to make sure the right players are signed to the team so that there won't be a season without a trophy won
