Lesser Of Two Evils!

Which was worse? Manchester United getting the 'coveted' sixth place in the Premier League that entitles them to play in the Europa League Cup as a direct result of Hammers losing 3-1 against Brighton on the final day of the Premier League, or Tottingham managing to claw their way into the Champions League places?

Or what was possibly worse was David Moyes' left field' 'brown submarine' assessment of what next season holds for the club! It was clear the manager was more than a little disappointed with his players following their 2nd half abject submission during the 3-1 loss to the Seagulls, but there appears to have been quite a lot of 'afters' connected with his comments.

Perhaps Moyes was just annoyed that he had failed to 'get one over' on his previous employers by banishing them to Europe's 'cheap realtion' of a Cup competition, instead having to lead his own team through the much derided competition while Mancheter's 2nd team take their place in the Europa League Cup which hammers so nearly won last time out. A certain Aaron Cresswell might well be having his 'collar felt' aa result of some rash decisions that cost the club dear, Moyes is renowned for his long memory and his reluctance to bury the hatchet unless suitably appeased.

Moyes will probably calm down within a couple of weeks, but this coming transfer window WILL see him flex his muscles in the transfer market, few are safe in his eyes as he sets about a 'radial' restructuring that WILL see the squad's average age reduce significantly, it was currently the 2nd oldest squad in the PREMIER LEAGUE! It isn't now, because Burnley have been relegated!

In other news, Kurt Zouma was summoned to appear before Thames Magistrate's Court after being accused of three offences under the Animal Welfare Act for allegedly harming his cat, meanwhile Manchester City footballer Benjamin Mendy has entered not guilty pleas to nine charges of sexual offences against six women. Mendy, 27, of Prestbury, Cheshire, denied all the charges, which include seven of rape, at Chester Crown Court. The French international is also accused of sexual assault and attempted rape. The offences are alleged to have taken place at his home between October 2018 and August 2021.

How about Man Utd player Mason Greenwood who was arrested and charged for those sexual assault and threats to kill cases? Man Utd seemed to have been impacted negatively since his arrest. Well Zouma's charges are much less evil of these three cases.

Is dragging Zouma to court really worth the effort? I'm no lover of the domestic cat, find them really pointless, but surely a warning and caution would have sufficed in this case? There's no long term damage to the animal, it was removed from the premises and certainly won't be going back. He's already been fined, probably got more than an earful from his family, reputation has been dragged through the mud and the risk of re-offending to this extent has to be zero........

The Mickey Mouse Conf Cup is a pointless tournament and an unwelcome distraction for next season. If the spuds mantra is who dares wins. Then for us it must be who cares who wins.

Put all the kids out and Doris the tea lady for this one, get knocked out and get gone!!

Pointless bollocks...

Of course they are Burkie, but it's low rent and all about Mourinho. Nobody else gives a shit or bats an eyelid...

Before long they'll have a Euro cup for finishing in the top 10 and one for being relegated, and another for avoiding relegation and another if your clubs name starts with A and another if your manager has a dog called spot . So we'd better get used to it
