They have to play Leicester.

If we win our way in to the last day, then it's a bit of a belter. Still exciting to think about being even in that conversation.

As I’ve said, if we win the next two we are in a great position. It’s easier for me to predict A team I have no affinity with to win all their games left than it is the team I support. Can we win out like United? Absolutely. Do I think there is a higher chance United get more points than us? For sure.

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah, United are in good shape, their first eleven minus the holding midfielders is a very strong one too.

As I've said elsewhere they have it in them to unravel quickly off of one thing going wrong but I think they will finish in the top four now. I think we will finish sixth but it will be tight so plenty of opportunity for us to finish higher by a place or two.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Nah - we have to believe we can get past Leicester and Chelsea are faltering. For me, us and United are the chasers and we both have an excellent chance.

 

[YoungWolf]

We are definitely genuine contenders. Positive results from the next three and we are really pushing them. I just think Chelsea will just about have enough. Leicester do look done for the season though.

 

[White Wolf]

Just want to add again that I despise the handball rule.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Klopp rinsing Geoff Shreeves is great.

The stars have aligned for Liverpool this season. No long term injuries, late winners, winning by the odd goal, all other teams being poor. But obviously a solid defence which has given them the opportunity.

When City improve their defence they’ll win the league. And united are looking like they are going to be better too.

Agree on the City/Liverpool issue. Liverpool have been quite spawny a few times this season, for example v Sheff Utd. They were also lucky against us. Very efficient at what they do.
City however are, and will be a different beast. I expect they will be much improved next season. Pep is gonna change a fair few of the squad I expect. Liverpool won't be as lucky as they have been.
Utd will look good up til game 36 i reckon. They'll have their usual shenanigans over the summer, expect to start optimistically, but will flatter to deceive. Still too inconsistent, and too many filler players in their squad.

Crooks will still find a way of picking him in his team of the week.

He picked Dendoncker this week stating he'd played 49 games. Then joins Dean Smith and calls for a wambulance as they played 4 times in 11 days. I shouldn't but it's one thing I keep on looking at..

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Man United are one of few teams I can happily support Bournemouth against. Suspect it will end up 4 or 5-1 but live in hope.

And if you think about it by default had said it's terrible that Nuno is picking him, given his Adama comments

 

[slink]

Terrible all round there, pretty sure it was a foul on Rico but BT don't want to show the replay but the defending and goalkeeping from then was poor.

 

[slink]

Game over at Old Trafford i think, 2-1.

 

[Tony Towner]

Back to the Leicester game then

 

[slink]

United been average at best here as well but Bournemouth just have no confidence at all. They could score again but fancy United will get at least another 1.

 

[jd1981]

Bournemouth have about as much resilience as rich tea biscuit does in a cup of tea.
