Table tonight is just about how this season will finish.

Including third and fourth?

Serious question time - if that was us, would we be glad of the draw or upset that we'd thrown it away?
Upset....again!

Good game. Goes against the grain to want either of those to win so that'll do.

Please don't get wrapped up in the quality of Albion's footy. They played exactly how we would have. Conceded territory, had two shots, no corners and possession I would guess in the 30's percentage wise. Fair play if they'd got away with it as well.

Given our record Id take a draw against Man United every time, whatever the circumstances.

Absolutely. I think they'll have already marked off a W over both fixtures against us this season. We've probably put a big L over our calendar on those fixtures too.

Villa vs Man Utd we would have conceded again like we always do.

So I'd have been delighted that we only threw away two one goal leads and got a point, rather than throwing away our usual two goal lead and getting no points.

A draw against Utd for us is akin to winning the league, the European cup and the FA cup . So yes I'd take a draw .

Ahaa no....I thought Liverpool were fourth! However it would be quite good if Southampton finished in top four.

I would be reasonably satisfied with at least not rolling over and losing.

A sort of comparison would be our 2-2 draw at VP under Houllier but that was different as we were completely battering them at 2 up and still threw it away with fcuking Macheda coming on and having his annual testimonial against us.

The annoying thing is with our pace upfront we should be the sort of team that causes Man. United untold problems but psychology plays a big part in football.

Wasn't that game the one where our midfield was Bannan, Hogg, Herd and one of the stewards? I think they could be cut a bit of slack .

I hope the players don't think the same way that some of us do.

Why in the words of George Micheal?
