Played Dynamo +675 1h tonight vs LA

that's just a ridiculous line. Maybe not a great chance to win, but ffs, just win 1 in 5 and you'll make money
 
DiMaria been hurt, but when healthy hes been playing loads. He was out on suspension vs spurs, and United had arguably their best performance in months, so LvG had to really go with the same starting 11. Paid off
 
United should really sub off Herrera here. Not because he hasn't been great, but he's on a yellow and in a bad spot sometimes. Bring on Falcao for 20 minutes to earn his paycheck
 
United up a man and still with just Rooney up top. Stupid. Allows Liverpool to keep pushing guys forward and not worrying too much about two strikers
 
Gerrard's heat map today...

only thing potentially stopping it is Uniteds run in

they have toughest schedule

still play top 3, away at Everton
 
honestly, all games tough this time of year. teams on the bottom starting to stave off relegation - just ask Chelsea and City last year vs Sunderland.
Teams in 5-7 trying to get that extra Europa league money to help attract transfers to make CL push the subsequent years.
Spurs and Southampton just a point behind Pool right now, one of them gonna finish 7th.
United been playing great, third best form in the last 10, not allowing many goals. I think they can get through this tough run in at 4th....3rd would be even better, but Arsenal playing best imo. Maybe City falter, who knows.
 
maybe. Not so sure about that. Both teams need to bolster their squads, and best talent aren't going to be so keen to go to 7th place EPL teams.
I think you have to show something to be honest. Coming in 7th means you're going to have to overpay to get key players - just ask United.
Liverpool needs more players, imo. Spurs deep enough, just need to develop a few more key guys.
Honestly, City to me seems a team at the cross roads. I don't see enough good young talent there to keep that team running. Toure and Silva seem disinterested at times, Arguero not getting any younger, that once vaunted defense not the best anymore, and certainly not getting younger. Wouldn't hurt me at all to see that team fall to 5th-6th
 
I've always found it fan talk to hear that teams would rather not have Europa league schedules.
Obviously Thursday night games hurt league play a bit. But, I think if teams rotate their squads, the additional exposure doesn't hurt either the players or the clubs. Extra money will not be turned away. Do i think Harry Kane want's to play a thursday night game in Ukraine in February? Not really. But that's a game you rest him and don't let him travel. Plenty of bench guys wouldn't mind an opportunity to start and show what they have to offer if not with their current club, then maybe club looking to add a player.
 
Big game tonight too. Rangers/Ducks - two best teams in NHL.
Rangers been playing like crap last few games, but still tough to score against. Ducks have a good physical advantage. Don't love my Rangers tonight, but think they'll keep it close. Gonna be on the under and Rangers :cheers3:

statistics show its a huge issue

I understand it's an issue in league standings. that article only points out England /
The top 4 in England for the past 10 years has also been very firm between the big 4. It's very very rare for another team to finish top 4, no?
so would a team rather turn down that Europa league money without a chance to attract better players that play out of England? I don't think so, no.
obviously this is just my opinion. I preferred United to finish 7th last year too so that they could make a charge back to CL in the league.
Spurs, Southampton, even Liverpool don't have the resources available to them that United do though.
