All of the other teams will be saying the same

We are all where we are because we've all lost tonnes of points we "shouldn't have"

The Brentford fixture stands out though.

This was one game where the manager blatantly took the foot of the gas, on a weekend where everyone else dropped points. He had several stronger options on the bench and he decided to spare all of them. 

Chelsea has one of the toughest finishes to the season and every point counts, especially  at this stage.

Final game of the season could be a real cup final sort of situation

I hope we arrive in this game with advantage so draw is enough.

Against City too recently.

United have now become our biggest hope.

We are likely to draw the game against them though. As usual.
