Liverpool will slip once more before this all finishes. 🙃 Not worried.

Salah will slip and Alonso will score from it. It's bound to happen.

Spurs have been unreal in the last 5 minutes.

Better say in the last 5 games. One point. 

[Vesper 28,772]

fucking Arse will be in 3rd place by 2 points if they beat a shit Newcastle team

 

[Vesper 28,772]

they have no games left versus top 6 teams too

 

away at wolves, away at everton are their two toughest games left

Yeah, but they'll have two matches against Napoli while we face Slavia Praha.

if Napoli beat them it only adds to their chances of 3rd or 4th

less games, less stress in EL, and a dire need to win every EPL game

We'll see. Even if they lost it's gonna be two tough game for them - Napoli just beat AS Roma 4-1 in the Stadio Olimpico - hopefully they will drop some points prior to/after those matches.

Also I am hopeful about Spurs, they'll face Man City 3 times in April.

for us, on paper

the make or break game is at Manure

Manure (if they beat us) and  the yids only have 1 hard as hell game each

v Shitty

we have 2

the 2 Manc teams

Arse have none

so on paper

it really is all about that Manure game

obviously not all will work out to form for all 4 of us

but if it does

that Manure game is (provided we do not win EL) for the CL next year

and even winning that wont be good enough IF Arse and the yids win out save for the Shitty game for spuds

they will still both finish above us

it really is all about the EL, barring some crazy upsets of those other 3 and us winning all but the shitty game

[Vesper 28,772]

all those blown points versus truly SHIT teams is going to be the death of us

we should be in 3rd place by 5 to 10 points

[Special Juan 27,424]

We must simply put a cog in the Scouse works, we cannot allow them to win this league ahead of City.

Not for me. If anything, we over achieved in the beginning of the season. Those results papered over the cracks of how easily we can get exposed, which teams are now figuring out. 

We are a 5th/6th place side with Hazard. Without him, we are genuinely 8th -11th.

name 5 teams who would be better than us (not the other top 5)

especially after we sack old smokey

if no Hazard we would add a replacement, and after bans we add players

only team who could, atm, make a move to be a true top 6 is Wolves, IF they add 4, 5 top players and lose none (Neves will be gone next summer or the one after and that destroys any hope of a consistent top 6)

there simply isnt enough other teams at that level

Everton and Watford? lolol

Leicester will never be at that level

literally all the rest are yearly potential relegation battle level teams on any given year

Liverpool win it. The amount of luck and that.. Plus way they play... 

We're where we should be. The fact we've only really moved briefly from 6th is telling. This side and manager are not champions league capable.  If Man U didn't start with Jose they'd be miles ahead

On paper - these are the keywords. Anything can happen in the Premier League.

Let's support Newcastle tomorrow, secret agent Rafa and Kenedy might surprise Arse.

MU and Liverpool will have tough Champions League games in April, their energy/focus might be more divided than ours. I knoiw, I am also overly optimistic, I can't help it but I firmly believe we will beat either MU or Liverpool.

They are ridiculously lucky this season. This win, the Everton one, all the penalties, own goals, Klopp-time goals(yeah this is a thing now).. They had like 5-6 wins this season which was as lucky as our one today.

QPR have sacked Steve McLaren....it's not an April fools, the QPR fans are devastated.

Wolves would eclipse us and we'd be fighting Leicester for 8th at best.
