At this point, I don't care.This does improve our situation. We all thought Utd were dead guaranteed to finish on 71 points, which would have meant we had to draw against Everton at least. Arsenal’s final game is very tough however, so in theory we can now lose the last game and slither through, which we would not have been able to do if Utd won.
It’s fairly shameful however if we have to rely on the shittiness of others to ensure our qualification.
But in some ways I think it would do the club good to finish in the Europa League places. We need a wake up call big time when it comes to recruitment.
United are in a mess but at least they know they have a problem. We're still in denial about ours and I think us missing out on the CL might have opened eyes a bit to our lack of ambition in the transfer window.
I think we're in danger of thinking this season has been a success. Given the circumstances, Pochettino has done well. But imo we've been declining for a couple of years now especially with regards to the quality of the football on show.
