Thanks to everton and apologies for my reverse jinx effort earlier. Now utd need to do us a favour tuesday
They’ll stick the stiffs out on Tuesday then play full strength Thursday if they’ve got any sense whatsoever. As the chance to condemn you to Thursday / Sunday football for next season, plus depriving you of £60-70m in revenue is a no brainer from their perspective.
Tbh mate Tobes is spot on, we'll be sticking out the reserves. Mata, possibly Matic will be the only players of note we'll be having out there.
Most likely but in the end you've 24 hours less to get your first team ready for thursday and we only need someone to beat leicester in one game so anything is a bonus when you are desperate like us
Ok ok 24 hours is a slight exaggeration, but it's still a nights sleep and so forth and so on so the point is valid.
You.mean the your first team bit? My mistake. Must be too used to referring to everton as utd reserves Seriously though Leicester need 2 wins to get to 69 points. They have a slight better gd but if they lose one and we win all our games is reasonable to think we could get to a better gd.
No, not that either, your assumption that you’re going to OT and picking up 3 points.....as well as winning the other 3.....
Whatevs, every conversation on here has to start there, if we don't win them the entire conversation is moot. I'll take 2 leicester losses if you are offering though.
Anyway, more generally West brom are now relegated so Allardyce is hammered finally. That really is nice. Tonight is a massive massive relegation 6 pointer between burnley and fulham. Burnley win and its all over at the bottom. Draw and its still not entirely over but Fulham would need 3 wins and Burnley 3 losses. Critically LFC will then play west brom and then burnely so ut'd be nice if burnley could have nothing riding on the game.
If theres a 6 point gap with 3 to play and maybe gd flips too? I would generally agree with you but where theres life there is hope. It has been done.
