Phrase I never, ever thought I'd utter: Spurs are so much better than us as a footballing side.

It's embarrassing. Just a year ago we finished 23 points ahead of them. Twenty three points! Now they now look light years better than us. That is absolutely insane to think about. Our players should think about that and feel ashamed.

Barring the opening few weeks of the season, they were a better footballing side than we were last season as well. There are two explanations for the extraordinary twenty-three point gap.

1. Jose
2. Mourhino

And we still gotta go to Anfield. My god. I'm expecting a few more thrashings before the season ends!

Liverpool are the most inconsistent side this league has seen for year's, not since our 01/02 team has their been such a bipolar side.

Yes the side that thrashed City twice United in Europe and Dortmund in the second half might show up and if they do it will be a long night, but equally so might the side that lost against Watford, Newcastle, United in the league, Palace, Saints and West Ham, and if that happens I reckon we can win even if we don't show up ourselves, that's how bad they are in an off day and it happens alot.

The 'positive' thing from our match against City is that it seems we will get trashed too by Leicester at the last game of season, lol.

Yes, now I'm worried about our match against Spurs now. Maybe draw will be good enough.

Not sure where to posted it but a guy from my hometown who is the GK of the Charlton became English champion for a second year in the row. This time for the U-21s. Last year was with U-18s.

It's just surreal remembering when I played football with him in schoolyards 10+ years ago. Happy for the guy. Shame he is Man Utd fan though.

 

 

 

Last year he scored from the goal line.

Yes, they weren't inconsistent when Klopp took over but in recent weeks, they appear to have found their groove under him. They've lost only once in 8-9 games or something, and that was the capitulation at Southampton. Take that second half out of the equation, they have been good/great.

Should be comfortable for City tonight, this Newcastle side are as fucking shit as us.

Aguero 3 goals again.

[Special Juan 27,424]

1-0 City....Aguero fucking miles offside, but the commentator claims it was a "Close one" 

[Last Sicarius 610]

1-1. Now Arsenal have chance to be 3th. Eh, one day, you win 3-0 with CFC, and next day you draw with 'fight relegation' Newcastle.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Guess Newcastle had something to fight for whereas we showed up for a bit then seemed to think sod it and gave up 

[Fulham Broadway 16,832]

With Sp*rs chasing Leicester, I have a strong feeling during our last game v Leicester there will be much cheering of Leicester goals punctuated by long repetitive chants of "We Hate Tott*nham !"

I fucking love that we play Leicester last. You know we're going to throw it just so Spurs don't win!

That would be brilliant! Imagine the faces of Spurs fans  Great thing that we have absolutely nothing to play for.

Exactly this. Our players heads are in Euro mode or holiday mode and they have completely given up.

Most could probably stomach another chelsea loss, but not sp*ds winning the league.

For sp*ds fans that Champions League night will come flooding back........:D

I was about to say the same thing. Chelsea was the one to knock them out of Champions League in 2012, Chelsea will be the one to put the last dagger through their hearts and end their title hopes. Can't give a shit about a loss against Leicester, the Spurs scum must not win the title. Basically this was the only reason why I still kept interest in this EPL campaign, to watch how Arsenal & Spurs fail miserably in their title quest. And one of United/Arsenal/City missing on Champions League football is a bonus

[Laylabelle 9,351]

I just get the feeling we'll mess it up..be so typical crap at home then when we need to be play well!

[Pizy 18,368]

Much as I despise Liverpool I want them to win here and soundly. The pressure is really piling up on Martinez and he's saying more and more ridiculously idiotic things in the press. He gets smoked here and gets knocked out of the cup hell hopefully get sacked. Arrogant prick.
