Was hoping for a draw here. Really staggering to think where United would be this season without CR7. He destroys their general play and makes them a terrible watch to neutrals but he seemingly scores ALL of their vital goals. They’d be languishing in midtable without him. They’re awful.

Why. A United win is better. Mathematically and otherwise.

I’m not worried about Spuds since they’re world class bottlers. So I want to keep United as far from us as possible. They can theoretically go on a CR7 and improved Sancho inspired winning run to end the season and since we still have to play them, they could make us sweat if we lose form.

Had both of these dropped points today I think we could’ve safely stopped thinking about them. Now we still have to continue monitoring United’s results for a bit longer.

we are sitting so much better than Manure atm

especially as we have 2 games in hand

On-the-pitch-wise, Arse pipping us for 3rd is my only semi worry atm (can put that to bed by beating them at the Bridge), along with, of course, the next rounds (after these current ones) of the FA Cup and the CL

Manure's remaining games  4 (2 home, 2 away) of those league games are against historic top 7 teams, we have 3, 2 of them at home

Top 4 should be safe. United have tougher run-in. Yet to play Liverpool, Arsenal, Leicester, CFC .

Can you actually imagine Everton getting relegated? Would be incredibly massive.

Their owner has just thrown money around on rejects from bigger clubs & subpar players expecting success. If they do go down, it won't be hard to know where to point the blame.

Just look at Keane; it would be hard to argue he's even Championship level quality.

Everton lost again. With their schedule, they are in big trouble. Going for an inexperienced Lampard will backfire.

Got a couple in hand but way they're playing it won't make much difference.

Silly move on both parts really. Rafa wasn't doing great but hardly better off now. Just got worse

Definitely would not blame owner or players more than managers. They have squad worth over 450m. Only 7 clubs are worth more. They have English, Dutch, Brazilian NT internationals. 

Pickford, Keane, Mina, Allan, Doucoure, VDB, DCL, Richarlison... That team should fight for European places.

Arsenal 1-0...

They will win every game bar the Liverpool, United, Spurs, and our game. Let everyone get carried away with Arsenal. Once they have to deal with European football again, reality will kick in. 

Our 2017 team, minus Kante, Hazard, and Costa, is one of the worst title winning sides player for player in recent memory. An invested side with no European football benefits massively.

Should do. Still good for them seeing the calls for bloke to be sacked..dont think now they'll finish below top 4 unless all goes crazy. Got 3 games in hand though one against Liverpool and us..though depends what side we chose to be. I dont think they'll lose to Spurs though they're a bit crappy.

 Long as we keep going..meh
