Liverpool have played better than that and lost this season, funny little game isn't it.

If they slug their way into the CL it really will be a proper show of how weak the top 4 chasers are.

If we don't stop them, surely they will sneak into top 4. Leicester will be Leicester, and will do something similar to what they did last season - fail

Our game on Thursday will determine if they get top 4 I think. Win that and they’ll get in

True and if Lfc somehow fluke a win on Thursday against all odds your point is even more relevant, unless of course it’s been a patch of bad form finally turning around. Then your point would do a 180 degree turn.

We certainly need to hold them to a draw at least as Leicester are well on their annual Rodgers meltdown.

It certainly will. 57 points for Liverpool from 34 games. In 2014 Moyes was sacked as Man United manager on his 34th match and United also had 57 points. United then were 13 points off 4th, lucky for Liverpool they are only 6 points behind 4th with a game in hand.

Much depends on Leicester and if they have another implosion like last season.

We could help by losing our game against them. Absolutely not on purpose, of course, because that would be totally unfair on poor Liverpool.

Integrity is important and stuff.

I do think Chelsea and United are capable of a title challenge next season. I think your summer is more important than Chelsea’s but you could definitely find yourselves up there.
I think you're right, a good summer is essential to our title hopes next year. Bringing in Haaland could be the final piece of the puzzle.

If we hadn't fecked around we'd have won the league. Even the previous leeds game we pissed away points and who can forget sheffield, west brom, palace and everton ? Its actually scandalous how we've pissed away the title.

City will more than likely finish this season with 89 points a total United haven't achieved since Fergusons last season as United manager.

United in their previous two seasons got 66 points so the likelihood that United was going to finish with 89 or over points this season was extremely slim.

We didn't win those games you mention because we're not on that level to win most of our games and go on long winning streaks. We may be in future but are not at the moment imo.

In may seem so on paper, but in reality it never works like that. City would never have played weakend teams against Leeds and Chelsea if the gap was closer and Utd may have dropped points in other games if the pressure was on.

Utd have dropped points when they really had the chance to put pressure on City, but when the gap became bigger , they won games when their was less pressure. Just don’t think Utd have got the mentality to have won the title.

That’s it precisely, there was an opportunity there to really have a go and a team with the proper winning mentality would have smelt blood and went for it. Unfortunately we just aren’t quite there yet.

That's your players and management prepped. Now who is going to give that talk to the stewards and fans that the stewards will let in again?

Anything anti-Dipper

It has come to the stage where Ole needs to have the team roll over against Leicester to keep the side fresh for the Dippers. Utd need 3-4 points from 5 games to get second and top 4 is all but assured plus the Ropey League final is coming up so a bit of rest is needed. Do the right thing Ole!
