    David Luiz is not good enough.

    I think arsenal had a good chance to beat spurs
    I think it sad that racism has no place in football?
    I look forward to hearing other people thoughts

    For the rest of the season, Arsenal should just do away with centre halves and simply try to press further up the pitch and outscore the opposition.

    A bit like Kevin Keegan's Newcastle?

    Why not? Can't be any worse than whatever the heck Mustafi and David Luiz have been doing.

    Also, a couple of massive couple of games tonight down in the relegation battle, any thoughts on Watford's decision to sack Nigel Pearson with two games to go? I thought it was a little harsh, after watching the game on Friday night, I thought they showed an appalling first half display, particularly the wing backs, but in the second half they massively improved. There were some questionable individual performances but how much of that is down to the manager, particularly given the response in the second half. He obviously had words at half time. Thank you.

    I just don't understand why you would sack a manager when you're out of the relegation zone but perched above it so precariously. Unless they're hoping to force a response from the players by introducing a new manager. There's certainly little Pearson's replacement can hope to do with so little wiggle room between now and the end of the season.

    The sacking makes little sense to me. Pearson is a very straight talker, I can only speculate that something was said after the defeat to West Ham. Troy Deeney has already denied that there was a bust-up in the dressing room. Which usually means that there was.

    I feel sacking of Pearson was a strange time. It is been a revolving door at Watford managers in the past few months
    When a player normal says nothing happened so definitely happened 
    I think the Watford owners only took the decision to replace the manager because Watford being just above the drop zone

    I would like to ask the scope community which the other two teams will be relegated to the championship?
    I can also see Callum Willsion leaving Bournemouth I would appreciate to hear other peoples views?

    I reckon Bournemouth and Watford are for the drop. Callum Wilson will leave. He's in the prime of his career and can't be wasting it in the Championship.

    Hi @Globster
                           Really interesting question, I think it will be Bournemouth and Watford but it is all to play for as @Richard_Scope said it will be an exciting last day of the season :) If Bournemouth and Watford do go down credit to @Richard_Scope who I believe called this a few weeks ago. Thank you.

    Hi @m-burrell82
                               Really looking forward to the Play-off's this year, some really good teams in there and as @Globster said Swansea, what a performance, sneaked in there. Please may I ask who do you think will win the Play-off's? I think it will be Brentford. Thank you.

    Hi everyone,  
                   Please may I ask the following question as I am really interested to hear people's views on it. Who is the better play, Jack Grealish or John McGinn? For me it has to be John McGinn as I feel he is more versatile. Thank you.
