de niro said:was talking to a rag the other day, and he's proper chuffed. 4/2 this and 4/2 that. so i said so you are pleased with your little selves, we are in the worse run of form for 6 years, the ref hands you 2 goals and you win a game at the swamp. about time. i wasn't ready though for the next bit, and i'm telling you he was serious, he said "i think we'll win the league now". after i gathered my composure and my laughing died down to a less audiable level i explained that i dont mind talking football but if you are not taking it serious i'm off. i left him shouting in the distance with a genuine hurt written on his face. he actually believed what he was saying.
I was at an FA referees meeting and one of them came up to me and said "when we beat Chelsea we will be the favourites to win the league". When i said to him that even if that did happen you would still be 5 points behind them and they would have a game in hand at home to Leicester he said he didn't realise they were that far ahead.
