You jinxed it.Leicester in freefall.

Unless you think whoever scores more deserves to win, then I don’t know what argument you can use to explain how they deserved to lose.They don’t deserve to win at all. Yet again, it’s their own fault.
No doubt Brighton regressed but they still created chances and pressed well in your third. I’d say they just about edged the game but for your argument, I can see why you would think a draw would be fair as well. United vs Leicester at OT 3rd last game of the season could be absolutely massive in terms of CL permutations.I’d say Brighton were as bad in that 2nd half, as Leicester were in the first. A draw would have been a fair result but I’ll take it.
We’ll beat them. He has a massive inferiority complex with us. Reminds me of Harry Redknapp with us; great football but never belief they can win. Same team got battered by ArsenalUnless you think whoever scores more deserves to win, then I don’t know what argument you can use to explain how they deserved to lose.

They’re 11th for clean sheets and joint 10th (with Liverpool) for goals conceded. Defence isn’t the reason they are where they are.They have an identity, but the forwards are not clinical enough and Potter struggles setting up a defence which is one of the main reasons he shouldn’t be anywhere near a top job.
The XG nuts go crazy but that model whilst valuable, in isolation is flawed. They seem like Bournemouth and Howe the continuation to me.
I dunno - historically we are terrible against you (think our only win since we've been back was the 5 - 3 under Pearson), but you didn't beat us earlier in the season.We’ll beat them.

We’d be lucky to finish third at the end of the seasonFecking Brighton couldnt hold on. Now we are back to 3rd, thank you Ole.
I would take 3rd with a heartbeat seeing how we play now.We’d be lucky to finish third at the end of the season
If you don’t take your chances and then make stupid mistakes how do you deserve to win?Unless you think whoever scores more deserves to win, then I don’t know what argument you can use to explain how they deserved to lose.
Did they deserve to lose against West Brom?If you don’t take your chances and then make stupid mistakes how do you deserve to win?
Back to back top 4 for the first time since Fergie, haven’t you heard?Top since Bruno X

feck, what’s our next step?
Nope, a draw would have been fair due to the ref decision. Not sure what that has got to do with this game though? Again, in that game they missed a penalty, so they definitely didn’t deserve to win it. ‘Should have won’ and ‘deserving’ are two completely different things. They’ve been shooting themselves in the foot all season, hence where they are in the table.Did they deserve to lose against West Brom?

Fair enough, wanted to check your opinion on a game where it was even more egregious that they didn’t win.Nope, a draw would have been fair due to the ref decision.

Didn't Redknapp scalp you a few times at Fratton Park?We’ll beat them. He has a massive inferiority complex with us. Reminds me of Harry Redknapp with us; great football but never belief they can win. Same team got battered by Arsenal
But this literally happens to them just about every game. If this continues, would you say a free-flowing team who create masses of chances against everybody they play against should go down?If you don’t take your chances and then make stupid mistakes how do you deserve to win?
They don't look convincing to me but they are in decent position and rather very good chance to finish 2nd.Yeah a few posts back they were shit now they’re great again?
Yes if they don’t finish their chances then why not? That’s the whole point of the game!But this literally happens to them just about every game. If this continues, would you say a free-flowing team who create masses of chances against everybody they play against should go down?
Hardly a revelation, think we are all expecting it sadly.I think Utd will get beat today. Wouldnt surprise me if its quite comfortable for City either. Spurs hopefully draw at best
Technically you’re right, but I just can’t agree with that simultaneously because that would mean Newcastle and Burnley staying up despite serving up stinking, defensive dross every week. Former has far more resources than Brighton too. Brighton are an actual good team to watch, unlike some of the teams they may go down before.Yes if they don’t finish their chances then why not?

You’re getting blinded by their good build up play like many do on here, but at the end of the day it counts for nothing if you don’t complete the aim of the game and continue to make stupid mistakes at the back. I’d love them to stay up as their games are more entertaining but their downfall is their own doing.Technically you’re right, but I just can’t agree with that simultaneously because that would mean Newcastle and Burnley staying up despite serving up stinking, defensive dross every week.

Do not underestimate Ole's ability to bore his opponent into a 0-0 draw.I think Utd will get beat today. Wouldnt surprise me if its quite comfortable for City either. Spurs hopefully draw at best
If they win they'd be 6 behind Brighton having played a game more. Their final 10 games includes Chelsea, Leicester, Villa, Wolves, Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham & Leeds. I'd be amazed if they stay up.Just looking at the table and if West Brom win today they've actually still got a decent ish chance to pull the escape off given Newcastle dropping like a stone and Brighton unable to finish.
I'd like them to do it for Gallagher but on the other hand the Allardyce raving (including by the man himself) will be unbearable.
On second thoughts then scrap that didn't realise their run in looked so brutal.If they win they'd be 6 behind Brighton having played a game more. Their final 10 games includes Chelsea, Leicester, Villa, Wolves, Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham & Leeds. I'd be amazed if they stay up.
Brighton still got to play Man. City, Everton, Leeds, West Ham at home and likes of Man. United, Chelsea and Arsenal away I think.If they win they'd be 6 behind Brighton having played a game more.

No, he is just underestimating Fulham, and if he lose will blame United and penalties, oops, I mean injuries.Klopp going all in on the CL then?
