The argument the rags were consoling themselves with about Maureen's "good one point" from the Liverpool game looks even more fatuous now.
"Consoling themselves with"?? So many of them were positively giddy about it. "That's the way to deal with our biggest rival"; "Masterclass Mourinho football"; "Proper strategy with Fellaini, Pogba, Bially, etc. etc. injured"; blah blah fucking fuckety fuck fuck blah blah blah.
Are they joint second?
Do some journos know that?No. That’s only the case if they are equal on points with an inferior goal difference.
When their GD is better, they are definitely in the higher position alone.
Going to tell my rag mates that I want them to win next week. Notwithstanding I obviously don't, it will seriously mess with their heads.Looking ahead to next weekend, it is obvious that a draw between them and Spurs would be great for us, however if one of them were to win, I think I would prefer United to get the 3 points. I feel ever so slightly sick writing that but looking at the bigger picture, I just think Spurs are more of a threat to us. I think Spurs are a much better side than United.

You're missing the point. The rags and liverpool are definitely in a scrap for 5th place. In that respect they are big rivals and its a good point away.You're right, it was a tactical masterstroke, the one point which might win them the league! Laughable then, even more laughable now.
When it comes to rag supporters, anything that makes them feel a knot of angst is fair game. They'll not know whether I'm serious, but the little doubt in their mind is what will pain them.Even jokingly I could not bring myself to utter them words.
