Other Football - 2018/19 Season

[Hades]

 

Didn't have a chance when I saw Atkinson refereeing, to be fair.

I think City's blip is over. I doubt they'll drop points from more than 1 game between now until the end of the season. Its a down to us

They have a couple of games where they could drop a couple but yeah it’s really down to us to win 13 out of 14 to win it.

Kylo Ren's let himself go.

Think they could drop points in a few games, but our mindset has to be that they won't. Really hope they go to the toilet when United still have something to play for i.e chasing top 4.

A meagre two point lead with fourteen more opportunities for us to drop points.  My overriding feeling is that we're going to fuck it up.  I wish I didn't feel that way, but I can't help it.

You’re not alone. But I’m wrong on a regular basis, so probably doesn’t matter.

The 5 point lead allows us to drop points in two games (depending on goal difference). Tomorrow is a real banana skin, but we got to get the 3 points then do the same against bournemouth.

 

I think the united-watford-everton games in the one week will be our defining ones. We come through them even 3 points ahead and I'm very confident.

 

City will have serious fixture congestion towards the end of the season and their best players are 30+. You got to think even despite their great squad it will impact on them. 

[Jairzinho]

If playing West Ham is a "banana skin" we're fucked.

 

They're shit, and we should be beating them comfortably.

You don’t win these games you don’t, and don’t deserve to win the league.

It's a timing thing again though for me.

 

Yes we are better than them of course we are - but it's another game where we play after the others, under pressure after their results...West Ham have had some bad results lately and will want to bounce back at home - under lights, good atmosphere etc.

 

If it was 3pm Saturday and not after the others had won and not before City get what i see as a bonus game midweek i would be saying we'll bum them.

 

Not to mention our depleted defence.

 

But title winning teams have to pass these tests and we have to go and pass it

Lyon - PSG is a fantastic game. I think Ndombele might be Lyon's most talented player and that's saying a lot. He's so good and is the style of midfielder Klopp would love.

Lyon are 1-0 down but are all over PSG. Areola is having a De Gea type game where he's saving everything.

And then Areola makes a mistake and Mousa Dembele scores to make it 1-1. Bizarre as he'd been impenetrable.

Wouldn't have thought they could lose to Newcastle; nothing is over until it's over.

Best half of football I've seen for a long time. Cracking game.

Yeah, chance after chance for both sides, ref is letting them play, great technical quality. Been so good so far.

Fact it is a totally dead rubber is probably helping both teams just relax and play.

If we have any ambition of winning the thing we have to just get it done, it's West Ham at the end of the day. Shit fixture times happen to everyone, champions do the job regardless.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

At this moment we can afford a loss and a draw in the run I as they won’t win all their games, neither will we. We are putting ourselves under too much pressure, they cannot really slip up more either, they’re under pressure too

Is right.

 

Sadly plenty of us are bricking it though - wish i wasn't but it's just way it is.

 

Will make it all the sweeter if we get the whole thing done!

Agree on this - only thing i would say is they know what it takes to get it done, have the belief of knowing they can do it.

 

Hopefully we will have that after this season.

2-1 Lyon now,  decent penalty from their No18, lad called Fekir.

 

Seems decent does the lad, might be worth a look at him

2-1 Lyon. PSG will get spanked by Man United if they play like this. Getting ran ragged.
