The trouble is, it's not in our hands

Deeply frustrating that we didn’t turn them or Arsenal over

It is, if we win all of our games. Which is pretty much what we'd have to do anyway. Even if we were leading at this point.

I think Mainoo is a real talent but thankfully his team is too shite for him to make too much impact, kind of like Palmer at Chelsea.

Did ANYONE actually notice who lost(walked away from) Diaz for Dippers first goal ?

No it’s not in our hands. We could win all of our games and still not win the league. Somewhat unlikely but not impossible. Therefore, it’s not in our hands

1 point surely?

We're on 70, Rags on 48. Most they can get is 71. We therefore require 2 pts.

They are on 49, max they can get is 70. Therefore we need 1 point to be mathematically certain

Probably already mentioned above but I heard on a podcast the other day that United have conceded more chances than any other team in the top 5 leagues in Europe.

If we win all our games we'll win the league. So that's the part that's in "our hands".

Correct mate. Apologies. Too much wine with my meal :-)
Either way, St Beneathus Day will fall next Saturday, I reckon.

That’s not what “in our hands” means
