Rival Watch Thread Watch

Bet Long Ball Louis won't be showing his graphs tomorrow, Burnley deserve credit for playing the better football.

 

Hold my hands up, we were fcking awful.

I'll be honest I don't even credit Burnley for it. We were just that bloody bad!

 

realistically we need 9-10 wins to make the CL, thats a tough ask!

 

Our post-crisis form puts us on for 70 points, the important thing will be whether we win the 6 pointers

 

we play 4 of the top 5 in the next 6 games, we will know if we are still in the race after that!

 

Grudgingly agree with Astro, it is do-able based on your current form. The next few games are important but also depends on how you cope with the Europa League fixtures in the mix.

 

Man U at home is a massive game.

 

Games against our rivals are key, we need to win them. Four in the next six league games is a big all though

 

I have no idea how United are where they are. Hardly seen a game this season where they haven't deserved to lose...surely someone will take them to task at some point this season. They do not look a team, some good individuals who are digging them out the ****e each week but Definately not a team.
As for LVG...well he's just plain weird!

 

Ivanovic strangles McCarthy

He wouldn't have tried this against Suarez #justsaying

 

Yeh but it depends on what your rivals are doing in the meantime. If you drop points and your rivals are still accumulating wins then fair enough it's going to be difficult to catch up. BUT if they're dropping points also and Livpl are 4/5 points off still when your rivals have their difficult run in, then it's not a tall order. A big step forward will be against Southampton. Anything less than 3 points will be an immediate setback.

 

And the ref booked McCarthy lol

I'm sure Mourinho will be calling for Ivanovic to be banned

 

Harsh on Everton, they defended really well all game and were undone by a brilliant strike and a defender being a **** and not closing his legs quick enough

Barry deserved to go for 2nd yellow, Ivanovic was a bit of an idiot getting involved though, but for my FF team, glad he stayed on

Southampton droping points at home to West Ham who went down to 10 men, goos result for us. Shame United fluked a win, but we've closed ground on Saints and Spurs so a successful couple of days. 2 tricky league games coming up, I'd be happy with 4 points from those, a win v Saints and draw v City. Saints is the must win as they are direct rivals, City though is less a 6 pointer.

 

9 men, Carroll went off injured after 3 subs

 

Barry and Besic is an awful pairing for Everton

They offer zero creatively. Defensively they offer no stability or security because they get so many bookings - this year they started 8 games together, and finished 2 games together

 

Did Ivanovich bite McCarthy?

Be very funny to see how Maureen would react if Ivanovich got done for it.

 

No it was a headbutt

FA will bottle it though

 

Doubt Ivanovic will get anything.

It's inexplicable how Utd are 3rd in the league, they are utter utter dross.

Aguero's cheating was ridiculous tonight and yet barely a thing is said.

What are all these little silver spacemen badges some of the managers are wearing??

 

They're **** scared of a Maureen strop.
