Sorry but you're living in a dream world now. 

 

It's time for people to stop being deluded and start cheering for Liverpool to beat everyone from 3rd to 10th.

 

Title has gone, there's no shame in admitting that. Want to be looking down not up to make sure we stay as far ahead as 5th as possible. 

You're right, I am in a dream world but for what it's worth, remember when Newcastle were in first place, 12 points clear of Man U, with 2 games in hand in mid January? They ended up losing the title by 4 points.

 

Also, seem to remember Man U being 8 points clear of City with 6 games to go, only to lose on the final day.

 

I'd like us to push on and see how many points we can get, regardless of Liverpool. I expect them to win, but I'm also certain they won't go unbeaten and some of the teams they are playing over the next 2 months really need the points.

 

For all that is being made of the current gap Liverpool are enjoying, I'll be shocked if they win it by a huge margin, and not at all surprised if they win it by a much decimated margin, come May.

Looking at the table now, we have a 14-point lead over the team in fifth with 17 games left. I’d say realistically we would still get a top four place - and enter the Champions League - even if we were to win less than half our remaining 17 games.

 

Even if our record from now to the end of the season is just W7 D3 L7 (which would necessitate a major downturn in form; it is now W14 D3 L4 i.e. wins in two thirds of our 21 games) we would finish up with 69 points.

 

Just to match that, Man United would have to get 38 points from 17 games - say W12 D2 L3 (and currently they only have 31 from 21) - while Spurs and Wolves would need another 39 (both have 30 from 21). And all three of those teams are still in Europe.

 

It’s looking very promising, folks...

I don't want to revel in the hate Maguire is getting because for the most part it is pretty out of order and represents a dark side of football but.. it was easy to see this coming really wasn't it

Howe being a decent manager is a total myth. Since they’ve been in the Premier League, they’ve had a high net spend than Liverpool. 

Probably because Liverpool got about £150m for Coutinho and a shitload more from other player sales. Shit stat. He's clearly still a bright young manager.

 

Was Brendan the finished article as a manager at Howe's age?

How on earth did var overturn that red card for Cresswell. Absolutely terrible tackle and even if you get the ball these days, you can still get sent off, like vardy vs wolves last season. No way could that be seen as a clear and obvious error by the ref, it was a horrible tackle and complete unnecessary and Fraser could have got a serious injury!

would love a screenshot of big nige and shakespeare's faces on MOTD there when VAR sent that fella off. both just stood arms crossed staring open mouthed. the boys.

Been saying this for ages, he's a complete fraud as shown when he jumped ship to join Burnley. 

 

I hope they get relegated back to the Championship where they belong. Can't stand the Bournemouth and Eddit Howe love-in.

phil neville just said gabriel jesus will "take over aguero's mantlepiece"

 

that is surely either the greatest comment of all time, or the end of phil neville's career

Bournemouth's next few fixtures all look interesting - Watford, Norwich, Brighton and Villa are their next 4 in the league.

Can only see them getting something out of Norwich tbh

Eddie Howe is 42.

 

Brendan Roggers is 46.

 

They are hardly master and pupil.  

 

Howe isn't that young a manager any more and is any manager ever the finished article?

So after today, which three clubs are going down ?

I think Norwich is now a given but I think Watford can escape.

Norwich (and take Cantwell with you)

 

Bournemouth

 

Villa

 

 

I’d wishfully swap Villa for West Ham but that won’t happen. 
 

 

Looks like Leeds are finally coming up.
