There's no advantage to being in pot 1 these days anyway

Indeed.

Yup, last year weren't Leipzig our other pot one opponent alongside Bayern? And they went on to lose nearly every game.

Had we not messed up against Everton we could have closed to one point of the professional bottlers. Perhaps it's better to show our hand later down the line anyway.

A draw would be fine here.

While we keep winning we want the teams ahead of us to lose.

If we stop winning, the priority switches to wanting the teams ahead of us to start beating the teams immediately behind us.

Yeah I get that, I still see the title as being beyond us. But I do get it.

35 now.

Unai Emery: "In August, when we didn't win the first five matches, Were you asking me if we are contenders? No!

"We are in a fantastic position, really fantastic. But I prefer to wait until day 35 (to give an answer)."

Yep, todays result was always going to affect who I would be hoping to get the points and now it is the home team.

I’m the opposite. Had we lost I’d have given up on the title and want Arsenal to win. Now I’m hoping Manure hold on.

I never thought I could cheer on man united, and I was right.

Is that not a blatant handball by 50p head? If that was Konsa it’d be a penalty against us.
