has anyone in the last decade given up such a large lead with this much time left? I feel like if we don't win the title, it would take a historical drop in form. 

 

Edit: not really historical, but a monumental drop in form. I just don't see it.

Man Utd were 8 points ahead with 5 games to go in 2012. If there was 1 guy in the world who is not a bottler it was SAF. But somehow they lost the title.

That's right.

I still think it would take a massive collapse on our part for us to not win the title at this point, a collapse I just don't see from this team. Even when the team has looked unspectacular, they're getting points.

If we lose the title, then we dont deserve it. And it will be black on white we are not good enough and we need reinforcements.

The gap is quite big and we play City at home to even bolster it. If we bottle it, it will be our fault alone.

I am not a tiny bit surprised  that arsenal lost. I fully expect liverpool to beat arsenal. Arsenal is the perfect opponent for Liverpool.

Honestly, it's a good weekend just because I enjoy seeing Arsenal, utd and potentially spurs drop points as a general rule. But City are the only possible threat to us. 

It would take capitulation beyond anything ever seen in the EPL for Arsenal to finish above us, let alone utd or spurs!

I don't know. Spurs are kind of a concern for me. Not in Europe anymore so can focus only on the PL. 

Hoping the CL causes City to fall away.

Watched the last 20 seconds of United v Bournemouth, the first thing I see after the FT whistle is Mourinho raging at the fourth ref. After playing 50 minutes with an extra man against the third worst defence in the league. Now Ibrahimovic says that bloke's thrown his head into his elbow. Hahah

José Mourinho is turning Manchester United into specialists in draws

And in the worse way as well..went from ending the game thinking league was won to minutes later not the case..still remember the happy reactions that weren't..woops!

Spurs definitely still a threat but shouldn't be to us..only one who can stop us is us really. We mess up now our fault no other teams fault..

Spurs?

Gana Gueye just fucking give up there and that's why if that was Kante that goal does not happen. The keeper also should not be beaten from there either.

[Pizy 18,552]

Everton look dreadful. I think Spuds will continue winning for the remainder of the season so we must do so as well. They're still our biggest danger I think.

It's weird to see them so high up! Know after last season there was predictions of it being a one off and would lose confidence but just carried on where left off whereas the champions gone down down..Good as they are don't like this Spurs side!

They still got time to do their yearly choke.

Without Kane they dont do much.

[Pizy 18,552]

So much for Everton making a late surge towards top 4. They're shocking here. No service to Lukaku, midfield slow and awful, and defenders all over the place.

Alos, I just cannot stand Harry Kane. Don't know what it is about him. Maybe it's the brain dead expression he always has on his face, maybe it's the 3 sizes too small shirt he wears, I don't know...he's just annoying. Absolutely deadly finisher, though. 

[Milan 17,894]

Embarrassing stuff from Everton.

Hahaha exactly what I think when I see him. The mouth is always open and he looks on with dead eyes.

ManUtd would be insane if they'd spent 100 million for that overhyped Griezmann and not for Harry Kane.

Even though Drawchester United aren't much better than Spurs on sporting level.
