5 points needed.
Tomorrow really is a must win, as of the last two games I reckon we have more chance of points against the Chavs away than Everton at home! <yikes>

I tend to agree.

Everton may well be still scrapping for a European place so it's by no means over yet. I have always felt this will go down to the wire, but I hope not as I don't think my old ticker could take it... <laugh>

I have a sneaky feeling Leeds will still be up for this game on Monday. If your form has returned that may not matter, otherwise it might be trickier than you’d like.

It's going to be very tricky but we still need to find it in us to win and also hope You're already on the beach
 
Corners are a farce now. You could stop all the shenanigans by simply declaring that if a player uses his arms or hands on another player a penalty a free kick or disallowing a goal will occur. Depending on who committed the offence.
Or alternatively declare that ALL is allowed in the penalty area, kicking, punching, pushing, holding. Let's just have a fight in the box.
Or just restrict the number of players allowed in the box for a corner. Only 4 players from each side allowed plus BOTH goalkeepers.

At the moment too much is left to the discretion of the referee and ****ing VAR.

Or just arm the referee and allow him 2 shots per corner. Saves all that red card yellow car nonsense.
He is also allowed to shoot the VAR if they take too long to decide.

How would that work though if two opponents are both committing fouls at the same time as two defenders also committing two fouls?

Or does VAR just have to do a tallying system and whoever commits fewer fouls is the team that gets the decision?

You're the experts, you tell me. Or we could just ban all Arsenal corners and Liverpool penalties plus ban all Man City goals because we don't like them.

Atrocious decision yesterday

I'm afraid like Liverpool's 2019 season yours will also come with an asterisk
 
Do we remember what City did to Vicario then followed by other teams. Ally McCoist thought that was ok. Rangers bastard.

Perfect, fine with me. Wouldn't be an enjoyable title win without rival tears filling up the buckets along the way. The more asterisks the better... each asterisk representing the next notch on the tear-ometer of rival frothing.

You could ban it. But no-one cared about banning it all when it was being done to Arsenal 2-3 years ago though. Back then it was just funny. If only that direct Villa corner goal hadn't been allowed two years ago then it wouldn't have started this all. Funny old world.

The froth-ometer also measures total times used of "it's a poor quality league this year" by rival fans. It adds yet further layers of satisfying caramelisation to the creme caramel of winning the title.

Who said that? <laugh> As a Spurs fan I can confidently assert that the last two leagues have been very poor indeed. We have barely taken part.
