Well, that's done then. They're going 3 points ahead of us and we won't catch them.
Ahead only on goals diff same points.

It's all fucking bent from PSR/FFP/SCR ratio to VAR and different interpretation of rules depending on the colours of the shirts involved - I can accept the odd cock up/error by officials but the line of travel over multiple occasions makes it clear as day that a certain number of elite franchises must keep their place at the top table.

Sums it up perfectly. Some football nerd could do an analysis of the percentage of borderline decisions going on Man U favour compared with the rest of us.

Yeah I'd love some dweeb to make a video compilation of decisions the usual suspects get, compared side by side to the virtually identical ones we don't get.

It would be a pretty long video.

As i said earlier, i am factoring in our visit to OT. We went to theirs last year as a good team, and they were trash, and we gave them their easiest game of the season. Now they have their tails up and we don't even know how to create chances anymore.

I actually want a high scoring draw with lots of injuries please.

Why? I get the injuries part, but we need Chelsea to lose.

Agree with Paul, not sure what Jane is on about as we ain't catching Arsenal.

Don't want Arsenal to win the league. A point for Chelsea doesn't really matter.

Every fucking result has gone against us this weekend.  Brentford, the jammiest feckers of the lot and yet another bottle job of a referee at Old Trafford.  Shocking decision for the penalty, clear theatrics from Cunta. Just need Chelsea to pull off a win at Arsehole now.

Every point matters. Last season some insisted goal difference never mattered. If Arsenal win the league because they beat Chelsea, and we finish above Chelsea because they lost at Arsenal, that's all i'd care about.

Given the massive losses they made, is there any chance of a UEFA ban for Chelsea next season, thus giving us a back door if we continue on our current trajectory?

You say all this like we're the victims of some injustice. We lost to Wolves, in the most craven, pathetic way possible.

Yes, now we are out if it, i couldn't give a shit who wins the league. I am happy for teams above us to beat teams below us.

There's a lot of "one points" to be gained yet this season. And we'd still be 5 points ahead of them if they get the draw.

We've won 2 of 8, every point matters.
