Other Games 10th April

Isn’t it strange that both scouting and transfers seem to get far better when a top manager arrives. When a great manager is in situ suddenly there seems to be a brilliant back room staff. Yet when they leave - the opposite happens.


Just saying ��

Souness also made the 'same' point... 'Isn't it strange how all the best managers have the best players'

[sydenham red]

Is it all a coincidence that "Arne" and/or the squad lost his/their way when Heitinga left??

[CCTV]

Both Guardiola and Klopp would have had multiple league titles with this Arsenal side. Arsenal have a good side and a good squad but have an 'avoid defeat' manager rather than a 'win' manager.

To be successful you need good scouting / transfers, good players and a good manager.

Doubt it.

They've wasted tonnes of money on transfers.
Put together a shit forward line and failed to buy a player better than Saka, who seems to have been run in to the ground at a young age.

Artetas built a great defensive unit, and he obviously has some good man management skills, keeping players he'd inherited like Saliba & Saka at Arsenal.

Crystal Palace v West Ham

West Ham United have won five of their last 11 Premier League matches (drawing three).

Since 17 January, only four teams have picked up more points than the Hammers - or scored more goals.

Can the Hammers soften up Palace before their trip to Anfield at the weekend?

Palace 0-0 West Ham FT

Wolves relegated

Tuesday night's action: Brighton v Chelsea

Brighton could leapfrog Chelsea into 6th place

That draw is a decent one for West Ham I expected a Palace win. WH now 4 points clear of Spurs. Got some tough games coming up tho.

Palace 0-0 West Ham FT

Wolves relegated

2 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 League games for West Ham now.

What a time to be finding the capacity to get results.

Still only the 2 points clear of Spurs so it would only take a 1-game swing for it to change drastically down there, but 8 points from 15 available for West Ham versus 2 points from 15 available for Tottenham is quite the difference.

West Ham's task looks simple on paper - match Tottenham's points tally over a 5-game spell and you stay up. I look at their fixtures though and they've not got it easy.

Tottenham's fixtures aren't great either, but they get to play Wolves next and if they can get a win against anyone, then surely - SURELY it's Wolves.

So it's easy to envisage Tottenham being a point ahead of West Ham with 4 games to go.

Going to be tight - could very well be a last day job this season!

Yeah, Spurs could go ahead of West Ham now but I'm not convinced they will beat Wolves easily.

I wonder how focussed Spurs players will be now that they will be getting offers to jump ship in the summer window.

Brighton 1-0 Chelsea with 20 minutes gone...

[RedMagic]

It should have been 2-0. Chelsea look even worse than us at the back, and that takes some doing.

[Steveo]

Top manager tho - pedigree

[teesred]

The sky sports pundits must all pop into matalan or tesco on their way to the studio
They all wear the same clobber, bright white trainers,slim jeans and a knitted long sleeve polo.

2.0 Brighton - Chelsea asking for a penalty at the other end

[RedMagic]

That could have been a fantastic goal for Mitoma. Have I mentioned that I wanted him rather than Mac Allister from Brighton?
