Arsenal and United are eliminated from Champions League qualification. Imagine that? Arsenal playing 17th Brighton at home with a chance to tie Spurs on points (they still would have been prohibitively behind on GD) and go into the final match day of the season with a gooner's chance to pip arch rival Spurs to the covered four spot. Instead they squander their whole season. Disgusting.
And United equally disgusting in an equally easy match against long ago relegated Huddersfield to go one point behind Spurs and into the final match with a chance at UCL glory and riches. And they fucking blow up. Terrible!
1-1 draws from each of these previous Big Fours against this level competition. Just disgusting.
Unai Emery will be given time to right Arsenal. But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer? United were on a magical run that culminated at Paris. It looked like Solskjaer had woken the echoes of Sir Alex Ferguson's indomitable teams. Now it looks like just more of the same that United supporters have had with David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho. The managers come and go, players are added and players leave but one man is constant: Ed Woodward. He is responsible for selecting these managers and these players. Who does not see that Woodward must go?
I respect the Premier League's Old Guard. I hated that Leicester won the league in 2015. I am of course delirious that Man City cracked the traditional Big Four. And happy that Spurs have. But I would rather have seen a Big Six than a Big Two and Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, and United as also-rans. There is no good damn reason for it and it is disgusting.
