  1. Excluding the relegation games a few years ago, when was the last time we had a bigger league game at the upper end of the table. This, and the next few games, must be the biggest in over 20 years. We’ve never been this close to the champions league this late in the season.
  2. I originally said 66% based on 1/2 or 4/9 betting odds. But then saw Opta have us at 75%.
  3. That’s true. Things can go wrong. But it takes a lot to go wrong when the odds are stacked in your favour initially. Almost everything had to go right for Germany, while the English teams had a horror show.
  4. We are 1/2 for top four with the bookies so it’s actually 67/33 in our favour right now.
  5. Not finished until those plucky hammers and rolled over! There could be another 24 hours of it at least.
  6. No danger of us getting an easy ride for once in our lives. This has been an unbelievably bad run of results to mess up fifth place. Need a miracle tomorrow.
  7. It’s incredible what one weekend can do. Suddenly Spurs have some work to do to get past us. With goal difference now, they might need four points to get back ahead of us. That’s two games out of six remaining. We are in a really strong position. We need to capitalise on it now against Bournemouth and Chelsea before spurs kick another ball.
  8. It was actually 84% this time yesterday. Still, 57% is better than 43%!
  9. Can’t see west ham going through. Or Arsenal for that matter. Borussia going out would be a start.
  10. Some bizarre behaviour. I even saw comments where people would take the Europa league if it was offered now. It’s pathetic. Europa league is already guaranteed. Why would we take it! Barring some unfortunate results in Europe, we are highly likely to be playing champions league football next season. We need to show some resilience after bad results.
  11. Happy with that draw at Old Trafford. That’s two points in three games for United. They need to win four out of seven just to catch where we are now. I’d say fifth place is 95% certain. Some good results mid week and all will look well in the world again. The sooner we know if fifth will be enough or not the better.
  12. I think we are absolutely ready for the champions league. With our squad fully fit, we have a really strong squad. Add in Kosta at right back and some of our youngsters improving, we would be in good shape. That’s before we do anything in the transfer market. A year in the Europa league won’t make us any more ready. We’d have more or less the same number of games to play. Furthermore, our players will be expecting us to qualify now so failure to do so will lead to disappointment and some big players likely looking for moves to champions league teams. We are in a tricky PSR position too so need every penny we can get. This could be a one time chance. We are unlikely to have a better chance any time soon.
  13. France? France have no chance. It’s between England and Germany. The two all English German ties are huge.
  14. Disaster to concede three goals like that against a team that parked the bus. It’s not a popular opinion but Torres is so weak defensively. When was the last time he did a brilliant piece of defending. Carlos had to do all the defending out there. It’s a huge drop off from Mings defensively. That’s the key reason we are conceding so many goals.
  15. It’s the unspoken truth but Torres is really not a very good defender.
  16. Carlos needs to be much smarter. He’s wrestling 30 seconds before corners are even being taken and draws attention to himself. Probably cost himself a penalty by the prejudice in the ref’s head.
  17. Twitter saying Toney is on the bench because he strained a muscle in the warm up mid week.
