Utd really aren't such a threat as people are making out CL or no CL, look who they've signed in the last 2 seasons whilst being in the CL and now they are worse off with a manager who is a rookie and players don't really want to play for an unknown manager. Throwing money at the problem in the last few years has just put them in this position in the first place.

There is only so many times that spending £150-200M a window and paying players £500k a week will not work for them.

West ham and Everton will be tough without kane. However, both will come out and play which suits when harry doesn't play.

Our best performances this season have been against teams who try to attack us, our quality on the break is fantastic. We can cut any team apart, and have! Pool, city, Dortmund etc

We need 3 wins in the next 9 days and I reckon the job will essentially be done.

Well it's been 6 years and counting since they last won the title or even put up a respectable title challenge so maybe that strategy needs changing.

Can see west ham playing deep and tough to try to frustrate us. Think that game will be more tactically difficult than the others

Toby wouldn't go to United if they are in Europa so if he wants to stay in PL we are the best option. So I want Chelsea 4th

huge week coming up in race for top 4.... we must start by winning tomorrow night and beat west ham too and I think we are in a great position to finish 3rd as utd/Chelsea/arse will all drop points over the next week especially with utd v Chelsea on sunday
the results yesterday were huge for us and we must capitilise tomorrow.
CL SF (and could go further) and Top 4 this season would be incredible given the shocking luck we have had with injuries, transfers, poor/terrible refereeing
We will have a big summer IMO as Levy wont sit back again (I hope) and I truly believe we will push on next year and get a trophy, who knows we could get 1 this year :)

Finishing 3rd and CL semi/final/winning it would make it a terrific season. Also got league cup semis as well. We showed on Saturday even with a depleted squad we can match the best and not give in. God I have so much hope and belief in this team nowadays. The future is bright boys and girls.

We've not been outgunned in any game home or away against liverpool or city.
But we have lost all the league games against them both. That's not great, even if huge bad luck at times was the difference (Son not getting the penalty, Lamela fluffing a sitter, lloris dropping the ball after sissoko though, missing 4-5 good chances and no penalty being given)

12 more pointed for us and 6 each less for them would really have put us up there.

Would be very surprised if Utd managed to get 4th from here, done a little prediction table just now.

Isn't he an injury prone wing back these days?


I am in no position to say really mate because I am (obviously) not one to pay much attention to them or their games.

My opinion was/is based solely upon what I've seen of him on MOTD. It just 'appears' that he's pretty much everywhere. Clearing corners from his own area, chasing down apparent lost causes, somehow on the end of crosses that result from counter attacks he started etc etc etc.

Looks a real pain in the backside to deal with.

If you'd told me a week ago we'd still be in third and through to the semis of the CL this morning Id have thought you were high.

Liverpool absolutely murdered us at Wembley this season. Score was 2-1 but only because they missed about 8 great chances and Lamela got a consolation goal. Agree about the other games though.

Yeah, we were more flaccid than Bill Oddie’s woodpecker that game
