It takes a special kind of stupid for a fan to run on and mock opposition players after the Grealish thing
Column inches after the NLD suggesting Xhaka should've been sent off: an average of 0.25 Column inches after the the Man Utd game suggesting Xhaka should've been sent off: an average of 3.25 Prove me wrong, hacks of the world...
Three incidents in three days. It does look to be a case of "monkey see, monkey do". It's not just coincidental.
8 games left. Home Vs away: We have 5/3 United have 5/3 Arsenal have 3/5 Chelsea have 3/5 Tough away fixtures: We have Liverpool and City United have wolves Arsenal have wolves Chelsea have Liverpool and Man United Noteable home fixtures: We have west ham United have city and chelsea Arsenal have none of note Chelsea have west ham. I remember thinking as far back as October how important the “home” fixtures could be for us at the end of the season. Whilst we do have city and Liverpool away which is all but a guaranteed 0/6, we only have 1 other away game. We need to make these home games count, especially moving back into the new stadium. I really hope it’s enough to lift the fans and players. Chelsea’s fixtures are basically the same difficulty as ours, except they only have 3 left at home. Therefore, I’d say they probably have the hardest challenge of finishing in the top 4. United have similar games to us, but they have the advantage of being at home for theirs, and also have 5 at home, 3 away. Which brings me to arsenal. They are in pole position IMO to be in the top 4. Wolves away is their hardest game and they’ve got no one in the top 6 to play. The only slight saving grace is that they also have only 3 at home, but have 5 away. We need to hope they beat Rennes in the return leg and stay in the Europa for as long as possible without winning the thing. Fatigue will play a huge part now. More games please! It really is too close to call.
Top analysis. Unfortunately, the Bournemouth game is at their place. They are wretched away but a tougher proposition at home. Still, 2 weeks away from today until we play again...by which time I'll probably know if I'm getting in to the Brighton/Palace game. That'll fire up the enthusiasm.
Unless I’m being really thick, no it’s not out of our hands. Even if we lose and united win, as long as they don’t overturn our goal difference, we’re still in control of 4th.
Appreciated. We have quite a good record at the Vitality, though. We’ve put 5 past them a couple of times, and 4 past them at least once. We’ve been a bit of a bogey team for Bournemouth. However, like many other managers, I expect Eddie Howe will get it right this time, seeing as we’re so bloody predictable.
Yes but if Chelsea win and we lose they go 1 point behind us but have a game in hand. So lose to Liverpool and a minimum of 2 teams have it in their hands to overtake us. ***runs off to dig up coordinates of CK's underwater cave***
Yeah you’re right. But only if Chelsea win that game in hand (which is away at Everton), And then we lose AND chelsea win again.
No. We don’t play because we’re out of the cup. As it stands, we’ve played 30 games and Chelsea have played 29. The game Chelsea currently have in hand is at home to Brighton in line with the original schedule.
I’m looking on the sky sports app, and it says Chelsea are playing Everton away on Sunday 17th at 4.30pm. Chelsea have played 29, and that’ll be their 30th, putting them level on games with us.
We were lucky against them weren't we, these things even out. Let's just get that league win to set us going again.
The reason Chelsea have pla I think we’re both making the same point but from different directions. If you look at the current league table, then everyone has played 30 games bar Chelsea and Brighton, hence me saying that is their game in hand.
