SU was their easiest game.

Spurs was always the danger game as if they win that game and we lose against Liverpool they are sitting pretty.

Chin up, now Leicester face the real test

Chilwell and Maddison could be back for the last two games.

Not even gonna bother watching Man United. Palace are going to get trashed. Need the special one and a special park the bus performance now.

LOL

How many people thought they wouldn't beat Sheffield United today but they ended up doing so super comfortably? Sheffield United were horrendous, granted, but Leicester's application on the game was such a stark contrast to what we did at the weekend.

Facing a bottler side like spurs is not a real test........ours is much much harder at anfield.

It really shouldn't have come down to this but we've allowed it to. It's a fucking joke!

Anything can happen. United's front 4 have yet to be rested this entire post lockdown.

I haven't bothered watching United for weeks now because they've been nearly automatic. Won't start today.

We have to hope the good Mou/Spuds show up now rather than the shocking one. If Leicester win that I think it's over for us.

You also have to say that we are quite lucky to still be in with a shout at this point after losing soo many games. Depends if you're a glass half empty or a glass half full kind of guy.

just so it is not all completely doom

even if lose to the dippers

but beat Wolves

if Leicester lose to Spuds they cannot catch us

the same for Manure if they lose one of their 3 games (probably will be Leicester if they are to lose, and Leicester will have Chilwell and Maddison back for that game)

finally, 

IF we beat wolves

and if Manure win the next 2, by small amounts

and Leicester beat them

Leicester probably (even if they lose to Spuds in a close game, no more than a 2 goal loss) knocks Manure out of the CL on GD as they up 5 now, lets say they lose to spuds by 2, manure win their next two by a total of plus 4 (we will know much more after this Palace game), then  Manure goes into the final game +1, so if Leicester win, even by one goal, they go over Manure on GD

I don't think Palace cares anymore. They left us too much space when we played them. I've never seen them so open before. Rashford, Martial and co will feast on that.

[Vesper 29,171]

IF we beat Wolves (assuming we lose to Liverpool), the ONLY way we can not go to the CL

is if Leicester and Manure win the 3 games they have left, and then DRAW against each other

then they both go over us on GD

Yes, we have gotten lucky with the results of late but the point is, we have been sitting in the Top 4, somewhat comfortably, all season but have to now scramble for a Top 4 finish. Just purely from our perspective, we have dropped so many stupid points this season and it's a joke! Losing to Bournemouth, Newcastle, West Ham (twice!), Everton, Southampton. Blowing away leads against Sheffield United, 10-man Arsenal! If we had picked up even half of the points from those games, we would have been home and dry by now.

I never consciously noticed how Utd's away kit is most hideous thing ever

Will never forget any time soon that some here actually wanted Zaha, even for that kind of big fee!
