BBC Sport: United Confirm Second Place In Table Following 0-0 Draw To West Ham

Posted Image
Quote:
 
Manchester United "don't celebrate second position", says manager Jose Mourinho after his side sealed the Premier League runners-up spot with a 0-0 draw at West Ham.

A largely forgettable game sparked to life with a late altercation between Hammers captain Mark Noble and United's Paul Pogba.

United, denied victory by the inspired form of West Ham goalkeeper Adrian, moved four points clear of third-placed Tottenham with one game left. It means Mourinho's side will finish four positions better off than last year, which was the Portuguese's first season at the club.

And although Mourinho said he felt "OK" about finishing second, he added: "I am not jumping around - that's not my nature or my history. Manchester United are the same.

"The top four is obviously important but it's better to finish second than fourth and it's better to be second for months and months and months than losing that position and that control. We don't celebrate second position but we are happy because for a few months, we realised it was impossible to win the league and, of course, the target is the second position.

David Moyes' side remain 15th in the table after securing their survival against Leicester last week.

And all to play for last day of Premier, the prize money varies dramatically depending which final position - for example Newcastle hold possibilities from 10th to 15th, but 10th carries virtually double the millions than does 15th: hope I'm not repeating things if posted elsewhere, but this money table is very interesting reading:

(The Guardian) So here we are. The final day. It has been a long journey, and today we reach our destination. It may seem as if, with the trophy already handed out, two teams relegated and a third awaiting only the coup de grace, there is little to play for today, but in fact only four teams – Manchesters City and United, Arsenal and Burnley – have already decided their finishing position and every single match could change something. Nothing very exciting, sure, but something.

The key battles:

Top four: If Tottenham beat Leicester at Wembley they will finish third. If they don’t and Liverpool win (against Brighton at home) they will be fourth. If Liverpool draw they will be fourth, but if they lose and Chelsea win (at Newcastle), Antonio Conte’s side will take fourth place. If Liverpool don’t lose and/or Chelsea don’t win, Chelsea are fifth.

Eighth and ninth: Everton need to win (at West Ham) to be sure of eighth place. If they don’t and Leicester win (at Spurs) they will drop to ninth.

10th to 15th: This is where the big movements could happen. Newcastle (v Chelsea, home), Crystal Palace (v West Brom, home), Bournemouth (v Burnley, away) and Watford (v Man Utd, away) are divided only by goal difference. Brighton (v Liverpool, away) are a point behind, and West Ham (v Everton, home) another point back but with the worst goal difference of all.

15th to 17th: If West Ham lose and Huddersfield (v Arsenal, home) win, the Terriers would go 15th; if the Hammers lose, Huddersfield don’t win and Southampton do (v Man City, home), the Saints would go 15th.

17th to 18th: If Swansea win (v Stoke, home) and Southampton lose and there is a 10-goal swing in goal difference, Swansea will survive and Stoke will go down in 18th place.

18th to 20th: If Stoke win (v Swansea, away) by at least four goals they would go above the Swans and into 18th, unless West Brom win (v Crystal Palace, away), in which case they will end up 19th. If Stoke win by less than four goals and West Brom win, or if Stoke fail to win, Stoke finish bottom.

So, in short, today might be exciting, but only if lots of teams both win and score lots of goals.

Off on a side-track...(cos there's no specific European domestic leagues thread)
Barca couldn't finish the league season unbeaten; almost at the death they lost 4-5 to Levante of Valencia and that at one point they were losing 1-5 - a bit stupid to rest Messi in hindsight when they could've become the only top tier team in the Spanish modern era to go a season unbeaten. However still 12 points clear with one game left to play!!
