Slap them

Make sure they are asleep first...

Not a lot of point thinking too far ahead.....but......if we win our next two and the dippers unexpectedly draw with Huddersfield, a win against Leicester would win the title. Obviously if we drop points its just as fatal.

A draw for them at Newcastle would likely do the same, based on likely goal difference.

Hateful fucks.

Haters gonna hate.

Likely goal difference wouldn't win it officially though, so no celebrations with the trophy at Home.

We might beat Leicester 7-0, just to be sure ;)

Oh what I'd give for the Yaya of 5 years to just steamroller all over those rag barstewards.

I thought...hang on, he means the Yaya of 5 years ago.

Then I came to my senses. You are correct. Yaya at 5 would still have destroyed the Ragamuffins.

I'd rather go down trying to outscore them than waiting for bad luck to intervene.

What I will say about United, they created enough early chances this month at Wolves before losing.

No Herrera in the squad which is a surprise, so expecting McTominay, Lingard and Pogba in the middle.

This is my thinking - I want us to proper attack them and try and ourscore them, rather than game management of a narrow win.

Do what we did against Spurs in the CL at home and we’ll crucify them.

Have you taken your medication, sunny? Liverpool will more likely hit six past Huddersfield and close the goal difference gap. We simply have to win all of our remaining games of which Burnley (A) and Leicester (H) are trickier than anything the Dippers face. We can still make it but it will need excellence in all aspects of our game.

A draw would mean we need Liverpool to at least draw a game themselves with us winning all 3 remaining fixtures.

Could you handle this?

We draw tonight and Liverpool draw to Wolves!

Truth is, if we’re drawing late on tonight we have to throw absolutely everything at it.
