I just stared at the league table for a good 5 minutes tonight  What the actual fuck man? We’re third, with two games in hand over one of our main rivals for a CL spot with 11 games to go. This is fucking mental, even just looking at 3 losses is mind blowing given we’d usually rack that up before September in recent years, it’s also the same as the team that are likely going to be champions. Only 19 goals conceded too, that’s 7 less than the closest which is fucking Manchester City. Then you look at the playing staff we’ve got into this position with and it shows what an absolutely stunning job Howe has done, of course all of the players deserve a fucking mountain of praise but the vast majority of them would barely have dreamed of a season like this let alone be living it. 
 

I know the media are biased as fuck but they really aren’t talking about this enough, we were fucking bottom with 0 wins 18 month ago . 

I agree with all that, but given where we were at Christmas before the “blip”, I will be absolutely gutted if we miss out on top 4.

 

But for poor finishing we would be almost home and dry already. It would be easier to stomach if we’d played badly during the blip, but we dominated some teams but just couldn’t finish.

 

The next 3 away games will make or break our top 4 chances.

I think it’s 11 years (the season we came 5th) since we’ve passed the 50 point mark in a season in the top flight. And we’ve still got more than 1/4 of the season to go

It would be utterly fantastic if we finished third and Brighton fourth, fuck the Manc, Scouse and Spuds 😂

 

Brighton have 3 games in hand on Spurs, play Bournemouth tonight then Spuds at the weekend, could be a point behind with 2 in hand, they also play the Mancs.

I'd like to see brighton do it, obviously not at our expense mind!

still think they gave us the hardest game we've had this season, battered us at their place, luckiest point we've picked up all season.

Despite the fact we had a perfectly good goal VAR'd out of existence.

well aye, I'm not gonna argue, we should never have goals disallowed, ever.

on the contrary wilson should've been rewarded for showing the lovely darcey bussell how it's done!

Aye, but they played us off the park. They didn't have the cutting edge that day. De Zerbi has them firing in the goals now so they are more potent now. 

 

It will be a tough game.

No disagreement here

So what would be funnier today, more misery for Liverpool or add on the pain for Chelsea?

 

Perhaps a draw as it would zero good to either while reenforcing how shite they are.

0-0 draw 👍🏼

Mid table pointlessness, the battle for 8th 🤷🏻‍♂️

We came out the Amex very pleased with a point that day 👍

the only game I’ve been to. 😒

[Christmas Tree 4856]

Not being a Gammon, but admittedly ignorant, is this Ramadan breaking during the game something new?

 

Also does it end at a set time?

 Any of our players would have been sent off for that challenge. Matip not even a booking

[wykikitoon 20875]

This is dog shit

[wykikitoon 20875]

Liverpool taking an age over a kick. But fuck all said. 

[wykikitoon 20875]

Liverpool are fucking dogger 

[Gemmill 46132]

Chelsea win is the best result tonight. We can't be worrying about Chelsea overtaking us - if that happens, we might not even finish top 6 cos we'll have imploded.

Fabinhio is a right cunt

For that to happen, Chelsea would need to actually score a goal

Looks like Potter got the sack because the owners forgot to buy a centre forward

[thebrokendoll 9466]

one of football's greatest anomalies how these scouse twats have done the double over us this season. utter shite and chelsea only marginally better.

There’s a part of my brain that looks at this and says “I think we’re definitely safe now”. I think I’m having trouble adjusting to the post Ashley/Bruce reality
