I am unsure why people are slating Burnley. Yes theyre dirty, yes they played defensively and yes they time wasted but what do you expect? The onus is on us to break them down, the onus is on us being the top six team, the home team and the team who considers themselves to be title contenders.
Are you expecting them to come here with their limitations and the position theyre in and open themselves up like a cheap hooker?
If we dropped points today then it would have been down to us, not them. Eventually we did and vital win.
But they have been getting a lot of wins. Right now Liverpool are on course for 100 points with a far better goal difference than us, meaning we'd have to reach 101. That allows us to drop 13 points all season, and we've already dropped 12. In other words, unless their and City's form declines, we'd have to win every single remaining league game to win the title now. To have a realistic chance, both of them would have to drop off very significantly in terms of performances - one of them might, both is very unlikely (they probably won't get 100, but they will get into the low-mid 90s).
Winning, and not drawing, certainly helps.Since losing to Man City we have taken 18 points from a possible 21.
No point in worrying about title challenge we are in the hunt for top four and nothing else.But they have been getting a lot of wins.

I'm not worrying about a title challenge I am enjoying one, I know at the moment we are outsiders but we are still in the race.No point in worrying about title challenge we are in the hunt for top four and nothing else.

So funny when Hart hurried it up after our goal. Fool.Thoroughly pissed off by the timewasting - but so sweet to get the win in the time added on for it.
The ref could and should have booked Hart as soon as he started doing it. That way Hart has to stop it or risk getting sent off.
Too many refs allow it to carry on and only get the card out towards the end of the game.
It was a joke that only 1 minute was added in the first half and that was for an injury (albeit a feigned one)
It'll pass. You watch, when we lose a game we'll be struggling to make top 4Are people really talking about getting 100 points?
I will. There's no way IMO. Obviously I hope we do but I just can't see it. If we do I'll strip naked and run through Sainsbury's with a massive* lob on, waving it around and thrusting it toward screaming ladies shouting "get your gums around my plums" and doing the Macarena. Fuck the court order.Correct way to look at it. We are in the race at the moment, albeit we're outsiders.
But would anyone seriously rule us out completely when Pochettino just seems to defy all the odds, and even more staggeringly, continues to improve and progress us.
