    If that happens, then I agree, I think we're toast.

    It would be incredibly disappointing to drop 16 points in the final 10, when we've dropped only 15 In the previous 28.

    Yeah they haven’t looked great but they’re still within sight of us, which is the worry considering how excellent we’ve been!

    End of the day we’re up against a powerhouse who’ve done this for years while this is completely new for us. The pessimism is understandable but I hope that fearlessness we’ve shown so far carries us over the line.

    If we beat Leeds and Liverpool do us a favour then we’ll be in a very strong position.
    One could argue we are already are, but having yet to go to Newcastle, Liverpool and City we are in a slightly false position. But we’ve passed a fair number of tests so far.

    Liverpool having a good day next weekend would certainly be very useful...

    Hope I'm wrong but context is key here.
    It's probably 3 of the 4 toughest games of the season (lost the other one at Old Trafford). That could be 7-9 points dropped with games against Chelsea, Brighton and away to west ham to play too...it's just a real tough run of games, man.

    Knowing arsenal they'll win a couple of those then lose at home to Southampton, ffs

    We would have bitten off an arm if someone had said we would be runners up this season. Anything else is a massive bonus.

    Except with having led for so long it will be disappointing, I thought when Citeh briefly went ahead it was all over, this team keeps surprising me and the longer it goes on the harder it will be if we don't make it

    Rodri trying to do him I think. Ball was long gone.

    At the very least he knows exactly what he is doing.

    The video's down - no lasting damage I hope?

    I wish we'd been savvy enough to say some of our key players were 'injured' like Citeh and Man Ure have, to keep them out of these games
