    It's tough but if we win our game in hand we are only 6 points behind Utd. We need to be almost unbeatable in the run in (v unlikely) and if we are I can see us finishing above Leicester and West Ham. Leicester have been iffy recently and West Ham should get a nose bleed soon.

    My concern with Leicester and West Ham is that they only have the league to worry about now. It was an enormous factor in Leicester's title winning season. Whereas their rivals (including us) were playing 2 games a week well into March, they had a week's rest between each fixture. It allowed Ranieri to play his strongest XI pretty much every week. West Ham are also playing with zero pressure. They've had no booing fans for over a year, no relegation fight for the first time in ages, and really anything they do from now is seen as a massive bonus. They are playing with that freedom, and it shows.

    Tis a crazy season in which Liverpool who don't lose at Anfield for ages then go and lose 6 on the trot.
    Anything can happen and look at some of the fixtures. Leicester still need to play WH, 2 Manchester clubs and Chelsea as well as us last day of the season

    They lost to The Gills last week having had 78% possession and after scoring an opening goal where they kept the ball for over 50 passes before scoring it was a beautiful goal. Gills won 3-2 scored a penalty, one from a terrible defensive error and one from a long throw.

    By all accounts they were better the side in every aspect bar one - unfortunately that's the one that meant that The Gills got 3 pts and MK Dons none.

    You accept that as MK Dons, though. He's only been there since November and he's trying to get them playing a new way.
    As long as they don't go down, then having a coach playing attractive stuff with a young team is acceptable.
    If they keep outplaying teams, then the results will come in time. Will they be that patient? Remains to be seen.

    That sounds like a good send off Smithy, I have lost 1 close friend and 2 relatives over the last year and not been allowed to attend any of them, watching on line is not a way to say goodbye to loved ones
    Take care Smithy

    Just checking: are there rules saying that there's no chance of Sevilla beating up Dinamo Zagreb's players in the dressing room and taking their place in the Europa League?

    Both games against Juve, Spurs were the better team and should have easily gone through to the last 8. Dybala scored the winner didn’t he?

    Makes it a lot easier when you can just cheat constantly.

    Juventus have always underachieved in the European Cup/CL.

    Poor record for a so called major power in club football.

    I genuinely can not remember the last time Penited won a game without the help of a penalty kick. No pen = No win, where Penited are concerned.
