Champions League Contention

[PaulWinch again]

if we allow Manu to catch us we don't deserve anything.

Indeed, we’re going to have to do appallingly for that to happen. Can’t see it.

Uh-oh!

They'd have to gain 10 points on us which seems unlikely, but never underestimate their spawniness and ability to sicken us.

[LeeB]

They've got to shift 10 points on us, and even with our dodgy form in the last few weeks we've moved a point further away from them over the last 5 games.

You always finish where you deserve in the league. Comments like this are akin to the old "we only stayed up because there were three teams worse than us". Well yeah, that's the whole point. Come May, we'll most likely either be the 4th, 5tn or 6th best team in the league over the whole season and that will be that

[Baldy]

Perfect yesterday, Man Utd scrape through, will be favorites to beat Coventry. If so, get hammered by Man City Asterix in the final.

Two extra games, big distraction, change of focus. Can only be good for us.

Plus, United are still shite.

I reckon 15 more points for us. 12 for Manchester Red Shirts. 14 for the North London losers waving their white flags.

Then there's the mentality that the FA Cup and a Europa League spot wouldn't be a 'disaster' of a season for them.

[Drummond]

Over the last 5 games we're the 4th best team, only behind the current Top 3. Tottenham and ManU are both a point behind us along with Fulham and Wolves.

So current form mirrors the rest of the season.

[langleylions]

Next two home games are huge for us , get 6 points and we will be in a great position to get 4th ,  only downside is we booked holiday from 30th to 6th so i will miss bloody both and i will be like a cat on hot tin roof as will be on the bloody plane for the dingles ffs

It would be ultimate 2-3.  But we've got to buck the trend and this is the time we (finally) do it.

[Demitri_C]

Im glad manure won. Liverpool will certainly want to put that right in league game

[Somniloquism]

Whilst they might want revenge against Man U, I'm hoping that it screws up their season now and they all plummet in the Klopp despair.

[brontebilly]

Man Utd, after the win yesterday, will be full of confidence and I can still see them getting top 4

Liverpool should have annihilated them in normal time. I don't see Man United going on any kind of a run.

[edgysatsuma89]

I'm about as pessimistic as it gets but Yanited are not catching us. I'll Hitler myself in the shed if they do*. This is legally binding.

*I will suddenly believe the nutters who think he escaped to South America and will instead book plane tickets.

Looking ahead to the start of the congested calendar next month, I wonder if we'll rest one or two players against Man City on the Wednesday night after Easter, and write-off the game at the Etihad, so that we're fresher for Brentford on the following Saturday. They also play on the Wednesday night too, at least.
