Sunderland 1-1 'Ammers, Ayew and Khazri fluking one in directly from a corner.

I have a feeling Chelsea are going to do enough (even if they do have a setback tomorrow) but it is alarmingly close (as it was last year) to THE UNTHINKABLE.
I still think player for player we're better than them, there's certainly not much in it. But they're a team playing with confidence. We're a group of players who can't be arsed.

I'm not sure we're better than them man for man anymore. Their players are way more consistent and reliable than ours and some in particular have elevated their game to a level we don't see from our guys anymore.

Of course, it's all mainly down to having a decent coach.

Lets just hope Chelsea get over the line ASAP because Spurs winning the league is way too fucked up to comprehend. I'll take them finishing above us on the chin but not that. Christ.

[Xhaka Can’t]

They're a better team. Player mentality is just as if not more important than raw talent. On the talent front we are of similar quality.

When it comes to mentality, it isn't even close.

[Letters]

:good: That's how I see it.
They're a much better team but they're not a better group of players.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Kompany.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 0-2 Citeh, Sane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 Aguero. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Much more solidness says Hoddle.

We'll beat them at WHL. I'm not sure if it would mathematically stop them becoming (whispers) champions, but that would be some icing on the cake.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Brom: Foster, Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Brunt, Fletcher (c), Yacob, Livermore; Phillips, Chadli; Robson-Kanu.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Matip, Lucas, Milner, Can, Wijnaldum, Coutinho, Firmino, Origi.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

People will complain how "it's not a contact sport anymore", but really, what was wrong with that tackle from Lucas?


Super Sunday living up to its name yet again :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tame shot from Robson-Kanu and he was in.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

How the hell do West Brom think that's their free kick? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brunt booked. As cynical and as pointless as it gets.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WBA 0-1 Liverpool, Firmino.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT.

That's all on Brunt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can't hear you Shreeves. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

"Cheers Geoff" :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Phillips drops the Ashes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Livermore's challenge. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moreno is on to ruin it all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moreno misses the most open goal of all time! :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

If we don't win, Moreno isn't surviving to Monday.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 FT.

Moreno. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man United: De Gea; Valencia, Bailly, Rojo, Darmian; Fellaini, Herrera, Young, Pogba, Lingard; Rashford.

Chelsea: Begovic; Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Pedro, Costa, Hazard.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zouma is on for Alonso, injured in the warm-up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Me. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible shot from Rashford.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 1-0 Chelsea, Rashford. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should have been disallowed, of course.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It's not happening again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No booking for Costa? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Youngy sends it across goal.

[Munchies]

fuck

[AFC Leveller]

Chelsea better stop mucking about and seal this title.

4 points as it stands between them the other cunts, can't bring myself to imagine them winning the league.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rojo and Costa. :haha:

Embarassing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cahill tries for an OG. Didn't work.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azpilicueta. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Youngy. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

[Munchies]

lads what do we do if spurs win the league

fuckkkkkkkk

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carry on.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Interesting how when Chelsea get a few injuries, and actually have to change their team, they go to shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 2-0 Chelsea, Herrera.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

lads what do we do if spurs win the league

fuckkkkkkkk

Lads, it's Tottenham.

[Globalgunner]

Mourinho may be a loathsome devil-spawn but he is not a shit manager. His tactic today is to harry Chelsea out of possession at every opportunity and hit them on the break. Same tactics as ever but effective.

[AFC Leveller]

Chelsea have been shite today,, hardly had a shot.

If they blow this up I'm never watching football again.

FFS Spurs winning the league while wenger extends his contract would be an absolute nightmare.

[AFC Leveller]

Herrera has been stuck to Hazard like glue all game

[AFC Leveller]

Could easily be 4-0 as Chelsea will chase the game now and space in behind.

[Globalgunner]

Costa should be subbed. He has been playing shit all game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro puts it over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matic off, Willian on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Send him off!

[AFC Leveller]

Spurs go to Palace, Leicester, West ham and Hull and play us and Man u at home. No way they will win all of these games.

Chelsea have some pub games left, they play the likes of Sunderland and watford.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Youngy takes out the steward.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 FT.

[Marc Overmars]

Spurs. :sick: :sick:

[Niall_Quinn]

Another catastrophic weekend shaping up.

[AFC Leveller]

Another catastrophic weekend shaping up.

Don't be so hasty, we still have to play our role tomorrow night.

[Letters]

It's pretty catastrophic whatever we do tbh.

:ilt:

Just have to lose to them on their march to the title and I think we can all agree it's a job well done this season.

[selassie]

All we have left to play for us is stopping them in their title charge. Sad times....

[Letters]

Well...we are in the FA Cup Semi-Final. I think the City game could go either way, neither side can defend for toffees so it could be a good game.
Have no hope of beating either Chelsea or Spurs in the Final even if we do get there though.
:(

[Niall_Quinn]

Don't be so hasty, we still have to play our role tomorrow night.

If Boro are unprepared and don't want it more than us (which basically means they don't want it at all), then I guess we might sneak a win and Wenger can sign his contract.

The cup means fuck all. It meant something when we thought it was a stepping stone on a path of genuine progress. Once bitten. All it means is Wenger will walk around calling this season a success.

[AFC Leveller]

When we moved from Highbury we were told we would be competing with the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

10 years later, we are debating who we would rather win the league out of Spuds and Chelsea.

Wenger out.

[AFC Leveller]

A sign of a humble manager is how they react when they lose.

Conte told Sky Sports: "I think they deserved to win. They showed more desire than us and more motivation, but in this case the fault is with the coach.

In this case I wasn't able to transfer the right motivation to play this type of game."

Nothing about showing spirit and handbrake issues or lacking little bit mentally jaded.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

The FA Cup is the trophy not stopping Spurs....not that I don't want the filth to crash and burn or that I think we will win the FA cup.

[Niall_Quinn]

We need to be careful not to become what we used to laugh at. I'm not sure if I want any part of the Stopping Spuds Winning Cup. Next we'll be trying to sabotage their transfers and baking celebration cakes for getting a corner against Bayern.

I know it's fucking tragic, this season has been an abomination. We have a lot of work to do to sort this club out irrespective of who is in charge.

[selassie]

This is what we have been reduced to NQ, we can't and won't compete. This season is bad enough if you solely judge it on our performance but when you factor in the improvement in our rivals it really hits home what we have become. Let's not beat around the bush here, we are miles behind the Spuds & Chavs this season. It scares me because I don't actually think we have the ambition to put things right. Compare Levy & Abramovich to Kroenke? Compare Poch & Conte as managers to Wenger? It doesn't bode well.

[Marc Overmars]

I want to win the stopping the Spuds cup tbf.

[Niall_Quinn]

I want to win the stopping the Spuds cup tbf.

I want to win the CL and relegate stopping the spuds to a routine assumption where it belongs. We're on track to become Newcastle Utd if we start promoting the spuds to the top of our ambition list. You hear the Geordies say, yes we're shite, yes we got relegated - but we beat Sunderland!

[Marc Overmars]

I want that as well but for this season at least, stopping the Spuds will have to do.

[Niall_Quinn]

I want that as well but for this season at least, stopping the Spuds will have to do.

Wenger leaving will have to do. That's the biggest achievement we could land this season.

[AFC Leveller]

I believe as well that i managed over 30 years and will never leave.

I just want to lose to City and be done with it.

It will be a long fucking time before we get a corner against Bayern.

[Niall_Quinn]

It will be a long fucking time before we get a corner against Bayern.

That's why we should use (cheap) brandy in the cake.
