Peter Walton said VAR stood down and refused to get involved as it was a judgement call by that CUNT Graham Scott

the last time Scott was the ref of a Manure game was their 2-1 win over West Ham United last season, where he awarded two very controversial penalty kicks, which were both converted by Paul Pogba.

Stood down....is this the new fucking term for 'we are rigging it'

I'm fucking fuming here me

Ideal scenario. 

We beat Wolves and Leicester beat Utd. 

It doesn't matter what happens in Spurs:Leicester game and Liverpool:Chelsea. 

You got the order of games wrong. If we lose vs Liverpool and Utd and Leicester win their games they just play out a draw and we are out even if we win vs wolves. Why would Leicester risk it vs Utd when they can just safely make a ceasefire with them

How are you guys gonna keep calm until next Wednesday (or maybe this Sunday)? Asking for a friend...

Really starting to dread the idea of going into the last round with 63pts and both them other cunts at 65pts colluding for a draw. 

Still long ways to go before that scenario can materialize tho. Leicester are the underdogs against Spurs and we still have a chance of getting at least a draw from Anfield but I still got a bad feeling about this.

Are they?! Why Spurs have been shite most the time. Plus Leicester have so much to play for they need the performance.

I'd love a draw but I just think if we play like Saturday it'll be a riot...their attack vs our defence...

You made it sound so simple, just like you thought Leicester won't win tonight, aye? 

@NikkiCFC is correct though

even If Leicester lose v Spuds (especially if only by a goal)

then unless Manure go wild and win by 4 or more (unless Spuds win by 2, then 3 or more)

Leicester would top Manure on GD with a one goal win so no CL for manure

and for sure they would beat them if they win by 2 goals (then manure would need to win by 5 or 6 v the shammers)

a draw in the Spuds game is perfect, as then ONE of  either Leicester or manure cannot catch cannot catch if we win v Wolves and Leicester still can knock out manure with a win

do the maths

as long as we win and spuds draw

if manure win out and we beat wolves (and lose to the dippers)

Manure 68

Chels 66 (64 if we draw with wolves, 63 and out of the CL on GD if we lose to Wolves, eeek)

Leicester 63

 

if we beat wolves  and Leicester draw with spuds, then beat manure

Leicester 66 (3rd  GD)

Chels 66

Manure 65

 

if we beat wolves and Leicester lose to spuds but beat Manure (the BEST outcome possible if we lose to the dippers)

Chels 66

Leicester (80% + likely) 4th on GD at 65

Manure at 65 and fifth

Odds from a betting site: Tottenham 2,42 - draw 3,58 - Leicester 3,22

So in percentages that approximates to roughly 40% - 30% - 30%

Of course the bookies odds are never fully accurate but that's the best objective benchmark we've got. Either way it should be a close one. Got real potential for a truly horrible Sunday, seeing as our FA Cup semi against VARchester is right after Leicester's match.

yes, that was his exact terminology

[NikkiCFC 7,612]

Yeah, if some crazy shit with goal difference doesn't happen all Leicester has to do to finish over Utd is to win at home against them. 

Chilwell and Maddison should be back so it's quite possible. 

They can throw Spurs game and put all in that one (not happening). 

But still Mourinho should win for us and themselves.

Chilwell and Maddison out of the season

He sounded so confident that scenario could happen, just like he - and some others - thought Leicester would lose to Sheffield United but look what happened...

The problem with that ideal scenario is IF Leicester win at Spurs - plus Man United beat West Ham - and we lose at Liverpool, then both Leicester and United will be on 65 points and we will have 63 points. Considering they have way better GD than us, what's stopping them from just playing for a draw? Why would they take any risk when a draw is enough for both qualify for the Champions League? 

To alleviate some pressure off us, one of Leicester or United must drop points against Spurs or West Ham respectively. If either one do, then we can afford a defeat at Anfield and still finish in the Top 4 by beating Wolves. Otherwise, we must get at least 4 points from Liverpool and Wolves.

[NikkiCFC 7,612]

Jose will do it for us. 

[Pizy 17,861]

Rodgers apparently confirmed that Maddison and Chilwell are done for their last two matches. So if we can get a Mourinho special and United beat them on the final day we'll be good.

[Jase 43,479]

No chance this will happen but I just noticed that IF Leicester and United lose to Spurs and West Ham, it would guarantee us a Top 4 spot before we even kick off at Anfield.

Yeah I saw it now. Well, bad news for Leicester. I was hoping they could finish somehow over Utd.
