The Title Race - 2021/22

8 points out of their last 27, and people are worried they might 'do a number on us'

Once the initial nerves are out the way, we will be 2 or 3 up in no time.

The thought of a team containing Tyrone Mings, doing a number on anyone does make me laugh!

4-0 after 60 mins........Party Time!!!!

The media hype and the many facts they've been posting is working on me! I'm a bag of nerves.

Going to be cranked up even more the closer we get to Sunday mate. Just have a media blackout until after the game.

I can never understand comments like "if we don't beat Villa then we don't deserve to be champions". So if we don't beat Villa and Liverpool don't beat Wolves, do we still not deserve to be champions? We failed to beat Southampton either home or away - do we deserve not to be champions? Liverpool dropped points at Leicester and home to Brighton - do they deserve to be champions?

It's how we do over a whole campaign. If we don't get the most points then we don't deserve to be champions. If we do get the most points then we do deserve to be champions.

I think that it has come down to one game but probably should have been over by now tbh. Villa at home are viewed as a very winnable game and people feel that a loss/draw here which will most likely mean the dippers prevail, which will be a major fuck up. Despite the obvious fact it was a marathon it essentially has reduced to a cup final that we really should be winning.

Already started. Dippers claiming villa will receive £15-25M if we win the league due to the transfer of Grealish

We paid £100m for Grealish. I like him, but nobody could say it was anything other than a full price. On top of that we’re going to pay them £15-25m if we win the league, something we achieved 3 times in the previous 4 years without him? It’s laughable

Never underestimate any team.

I'm sure the Real game will be fresh in the memory for the players and they won't be complacent.

Confident they'll get the job done.

The two are in no way mutually exclusive. Anc clearly there is a bit more context in that.

Apparently this money is included in the £100M price. But it was widely reported £100M was the release clause which we paid in full.

Not very good with numbers are they the dippers?

We don't need to better Liverpool's goal tally. A cautious 1-0 will be more than enough. Don't forget that goal difference will only apply if Liverpool draw and we lose. An unlikely scenario.

And we would have to lose 7-0 wouldn’t we? So very unlikely.
