It's looking more and more likely Wenger will be gone too isn't it

[Jah Lush]

Really? I don't think so. Not unless he quits.

Spurs beating Sunderland tonight only papering over the cracks.

[StraferJack]

Yeah I think he won't renew hoc contract. He's just too aware of how some fans are agin him

Mata and Kagawa seem to have brought the best out of each other, but unfortunately Mata's cup tied, so Moyes will probably stick with the side that started the first leg, with Kagawa on the bench. Personally I'd play him because of his Bundesliga experience, and I'd also like to see Hernandez start, with his pace he would create problems for Bayern's high line, plus he's our most clinical finisher, important as we need to score a goal in a game where we won't get many chances...

His points record is actually good compared to other Spurs managers of recent times. But he's definitely been caught out tactically on a few occasions. His persona is also very confrontational and aggressive, I don't think that goes down well at any club.

I don't think LVG is a done deal as has been suggested. LVG was spotted with RVP at an Ajax game at the weekend...I'm saying no more... ;-)

If he leaves it will definitely be under his own steam. I had a hunch at the start of the season that this might be his last season, but that was more to do with the possibility of him becoming the manager of the French team after the World Cup. I see that at his last job in football.

Against Everton he looked a beaten man, did he even leave his seat to go into the technical area?

Arsenal should win the FA Cup, and I still think they will finish fourth, as Everton have a much trickier run-in. Failure in one or both will get the boo boys out in force. How many fans as a % would you say are against him SJ?...

Er, it worked pretty well for United this last 20 years or so ;-)

Those were the days...

I wouldn't dream of pretending to know a % RD - i just don't get along to games anymore so I'm reliant on forums and the like

up until recently my gut feel was about 20% of fans were vociferous in their anger towards Wenger, but I'm sensing it's a lot higher now

Either way, the man himself would be unhappy with even 10% shouting at him they way some are. Does he think things will be better next season. Man Utd fortifying in the summer, Chelsea replacing forwards, Man City doing what they do, Liverpool possibly defending the title, Everton pushing on?

Or does he think every little slip will see the abuse intensify and the possibility of a dignified exit diminish?

I think he will go this summer regardless of how well/badly we do (and I am not confident about beating Wigan at weekend at all)

all feels a bit sad to me

He's thinking of bringing RVP to spurs with him?

[Ladygooner]

I still go to the matches and will be at Wembley on Saturday. I don't want him to go - hope we win the FA Cup and he stays.

[StraferJack]

"I don't want him to go - hope we win the FA Cup and he stays."

I'm exactly the same LG. Although I temper that with the knowledge things are going to get worse for him so I can see why he might have had enough

Doubt it, I don't think RVP's ready to make that step down just yet...

I would draw the honourable gentleman's attention to the current premier league table.

If we ended up in the Championship it would still be a step down...

[titch juicy]

It's good to know that despite the upheaval at Old Trafford and the abject failures on the pitch this season- the average Man Utd's fan midguided arrogance remains.

[Bluerevolution]

titch if you think that RD shows misguided arrogance you really have led a sheltered life in regards to United fans-he's tame in comparison.

But hey I can't be nice to him all the time so

[red devil]

Not at all. I could see him going to Chelsea or Arsenal(if they wanted him back, which I doubt), but Spurs?, I very much doubt it. To suggest that a player would go to a club purely based on league position is delusional...

[red devil]

What a short memory you've got Blue... http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/manchester-citys-manuel-pellegrini-apologises-6403508

[Bluerevolution]

Fair point, maths isn't always a lot of peoples strong point.

[titch juicy]

You're assuming I was being serious.

RVP would never come to Tottenham because of his Arsenal affiliation.

[Otta]

Haha, I read that as affliction.

LOL

anyway- re the RVP being seen at a game with Van Gaal in Holland. RVP is a Dutch international, Van Gaal is the Dutch International coach, RVP is receiving treatment at the Dutch Internationl HQ. Gawd bless tabloid journalism.

[red devil]

Oh well, it was nice while it lasted...all 22 seconds of it

My (5th) team knocking out the mighty Barca, sweeeeeeeet!
