Any Sports scientist will tell you a four day plus gap is fine but 3 isn’t.

The problem games are Real Madrid and Brighton.

Brighton's schedule is difficult too. They play at Newcastle a day after we play vs Real. They'll have fewer than 3 full days before Southampton and then 3 days before our game with them.

Pep will rotate at Everton. Plus, if the players are fully recovered from the game at Madrid, they can play 2 games in 3 days. Real played a cup final 3 days before the match yesterday and looked fresher than us in the 2nd half. The problem is when we have to play multiple games every 3 days, as it happened vs W Ham, Leeds and Real. Those wanting Pep to start our best XI every 3 days are being silly. Rotation is absolutely necessary.

Just had a look at the rags schedule for their last few games in their treble winning season and it was similarly brutal to be fair. I guess that’s what happens at this elite level when you’re chasing everything. Just hope the players can recover every 3-4 days so we can make footballing history too.

United could win the league with 79 pts and played in the 1/4 and 1/2 CL finals vs Inter and Juventus who finished 8th and 7th in Serie A that season.

We are competing with Arsenal who can equal the point tally of the Invincibles and we play Bayern and Real in the CL...Admittedly, we have more quality on the bench, but the route to the Treble looks more difficult, especially PL wise. We may need 90 pts to win it.

What's the betting that IF we win the treble Arteta will get MOTY?

seen something this evening and they were saying its a 55% chance, no idea how they got those percentages and if we beat Everton and Real it shoots up to 75%

Still thinking about it.

Yeah, beat Everton and Real my hopes will be truly risen. I know I’m going to sound entitled and spoilt here, but each trophy has a meaning, something huge riding on it.

We’ve never won three in a row before, then we’ll have a chance at winning four next season. So missing out on that would be a bummer.

Losing to United in a final is unthinkable, especially if they deny us a treble.

We’ve never won the champions league, we’ve got a home tie to get to Istanbul which would make us big favourites in the final.


Losing out to any three is going to be pretty shit and I can’t decide which of the three I’d least like to win.
