It will boil down to injuries. If united continue to lead a charmed life and injuries continue to effect us and Liverpool, Leicester and united stand a chance.
 
Still can't get over Jermaine Jen-arse giving Pogbad MOTM. He singled out a tackle in his own half that lead to a clearance in the build up to a goal for the Rag's. But it wasn't a fantastic piece of skill or judgement, he just half-arsed dived in and the ball pinged off him with no control, and he had no idea where the ball was.

Apart from that he just ambled around the pitch and offered nothing for about 90% of the match.
 
The Penandes free kick was a joke , Thiago ducked out of the way and the best keeper in the world set up his defensive wall and then proceeded to fail to cover the side of the goal the ball was obviously going to be aimed at.
Hope the Dippers get over their one big injury to a first team regular and secure Thursday night footbal for next season , back in their place and not just knocked off their perch , but volleyed into the wilderness
 
They aren't going away, there's momentum building and some of their players are improving as the season goes on - Shaw, Maguire, Pogba
They've had luck with injuries, VAR and in scraping out wins when not playing well.
Also another game they've fallen behind in and come back and win.
Well you can only go one way when you hit rock bottom re Easter Island,Carlton and the tub of lard

Whilst it’s good sport to slag them off they have developed into a half descent team. Weird game with both teams looking dominant at times. At our best we are still a mile in front of them but they are better than at any time since SAF retired.
 
So...I've never really watched a full 90 minutes of untied on the box but today I thought I'd give it a go.....Pogba,
£90 million or so....I've heard the hype and the vitriol but never really been able to comment, Jermaine Jenas gave him MOTM today. I'm no pro footballer or paid pundit but fuck me, this guy is no better and possible worse than his opposite number at Cheltenham. Nothing more than an over hyped media pawn, bone idle, caught in possesion far too many times and too much sloppy passing. He runs, sorry ambles / lollopes around the pitch, shyes off most tackles and gives the appearance that the game owes him a living. He does what he's supposed to do but he's nothing really and he's supposed to be improving, according to some.
I’ve heard one or two he’s been “turning up” for the last two or three games. How fcukin long has been there? Few players on earth would be cut that much slack.

When they are hoping Real Madrid will help them recoup their outlay of bringing him back, you can understand why they have to try keep playing him and give him contract extensions. He would have been able to go on a free if he hadn’t extended, wasn’t he faking injury last season?
 
I Don't fucking get it, how the fuck do they keep scraping wins
Because they aren’t half as bad as we think they are.

They’ve got a decent side. Still weak at centre half and defensive mid, but they’ve got good full backs and good attacking mid and a fairly decent attack (they got Cavani on a free, great bit of business if he starts playing well).
 
I see the FA have approached Lord O‘Neill of Gatley to become the new Chairman. Not surprising he is a lifelong supporter of this lot.
 
Don't mind the Rags being our main rivals , its so much more enjoyable when we f*ck them up , we have their measure when we have to beat them , the only player i would take from their team is Penandes , and thats only because we are shit at penalties. They are the most overrated ,hyped up football team around Pogba being the perfect example , scores two goals , makes a tackle and runs about a bit and he is now considered world class , he wouldnt even make our bench.
