Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Let me just say this, I'm not giving up on top 4 until it's actually impossible to do so, even if some of you are..

 

Nah...one is going to play with 11 men behind the ball because they're playing arsenal and Spurs...maybe even Palace..although you might be braver now Sakho is injured..

 

It's exactly what I wanted. Well, I wanted 1-1 with OG's so Valencia didn't get clean sheet for Louis in the FF but I can look past that.

Why are City going to finish 3rd? They're still behind us... IF they win their game in hand will go 2 points above us. Which is 1 poor result away from being overtaken, especially as our GD is so close!

If... do you see United taking 15 points from final 5 games with the EL games in between?

City go away to Boro at weekend, after their win and scrapping for their lives won't be easy game.

United go away to Arsenal week after, which is bang in middle of their semi final without Fellaini before they are away to Spurs the week after and then away to Saints! They could easily pick up 0 points from those 3 games.

United have 7 games in 3 weeks with injuries and suspensions now.... if they get to 4 then they'll have deserved it because they'll have had to win at least 4 of those games.

 

I haven't watched it, just followed it on here and the bbc web site...


so, was it another Moureen masterclass like at Chavski?

 

That's about as good as we could have hoped for, we retain 3rd for the time being at least

 

But we will be 5th when we play on Monday.

I don't get how people are happy about the result tonight

 

Yu

Yup, but we now have a great chance of getting 3rd and auto qualification rather than 4th and the play offs

 

we will win on Monday

 

It's only the usual suspects who've been doom and gloom all season.
They'll never change.

 

gld to hear Mourinho is setting new records at ManU .... for their lowest possession stats

 

Only if you win all your remaining games

 

Because it opens up 3rd for us. Yeah look if we win all our games, and finish 5th then fair play. I'll come back and say this result was a **** one for us. But United will drop points in the league in the next 5 games. They won't win all 5, Diego can save this quote and play it back to me at the end of the season if I'm wrong. And if United don't win all 5, it means it's back in our hands.

 

Did you enjoy that game tonight, Diego?
Genuine question.

 

Or.............both teams drop points and we remain in 3rd

 

Lots of positivity and negativity but it's all about Monday for me.

I think City and Utd will win on Sunday TBH, so the pressure will be on. If we rise to it and win, the pressure flips back onto Utd with a very busy and tough run.

On the other hand, lose and we are ****ed.

Massive game. I'd bite your hand off if offered 4th right now.

 

Most points we can get is 78 now if we win all 4 remaining

City can get 80, Utd can get 79 if they win all theirs

It's about who ****s up the least, all 3 teams are capable of easily ****ing up

 

Sakho being injured is a big blow to us to be honest.

 

I don't get how you can make these statements like they are fact - the reason these 4 clubs are scrapping for 2 spots in the top four is because of how inconsistant we all are.

They both dropped points... We have 4 games to play they have five, it's not all down to this weekend - that's why it's a good result

 

Jesus, I just heard Carragher mention Mkitaryan.. honestly didn't realise he played today. I just went on BBC to check when he came on.... he ****ing started and only came off 5 minutes from time

 

Maybe, lets wait and see.

There was different ways of seeing positives or not in various outcomes tonight
