Oh I know, I mean there's something better about believing only a win will do. I know statistically it's stupidity, but psychologically...I trust us more.
Then again watching the last 3 matches, not sure I trust us to even play football!
Top 4 Race 19/20 | duffer: "We [Chelsea] are getting 3rd. Despite what the lunatics in here think, Man United are not all that."

Haha that’s great! I see what you did thereI also think we’ll finish out of the top 4 and win no trophies...
They are mathematically safe. 6 points above Villa with a +14 GD.
Don't think so. Quick example (what I'm saying is scenario 1 and 3, what you're saying is 2 and 4):
Haha! No, I did think leicester would get something today. Probably the pessimistic side of me!Haha that’s great! I see what you did there
Aren't they receiving the title on the same day, their first title in over thirty years and they get it on the back of a defeat? I think if they lose it will be because Chelsea would be better on the day not because Liverpool couldn't be arsed.
If we beat West Ham I think we will go into the final day sitting on third but then, after Southampton, I don't trust us to win this one either.
Even if we win at WH , Leicester have had a weeks rest. They can surely be gameraisers then. They have decent pressing which we dont like as well.
Massive capitulation from Leicester. They have to hope we don't win by 4 or 5 against West Ham other wise the final game won't even matter will it?
sure it will, they just need to win by 2 or 3 goals
That's not mathematically safe.
Just can't see that happening at all. A single goal or even two would be doable but anything more would be too much I think.
If we beat West Ham by 2 we go to +30 goals with Leicester on +28, if Leicester then beat us by 1 they will go to +29 and we will drop to +29 but they will finish ahead of us because they have more goals for

Don't start in with maths talk again, thanks.
Chelsea trying to injure our players!! And we should of had a penalty what a joke!
If we beat West Ham by 3 we can afford a 1-0 defeat to Leicester on the final day.
wrong thread mate...
zouma and martial incident you mean? wasnt a penalty, mainly because its outside the box, and second its not a foul
Yeah Ive got it now. Was having a massive brain fart
What's irritating about this current situation is that a 0-0 draw Wednesday night is practically the same value as a 2-0 win.
Not vis-a-vis Chelsea I’d think ?
No I mean in direct relation to us and Leicester
It definitely wasn't a penalty, but it's a foul. Zouma gets none of the ball and kicks Martial's leg into the air. It's mistimed and a foul, nothing more.
But I assume the post you're replying to was also referring to Bailly having studs raked down his Achilles, Bruno getting his foot stamped on, and then taking a wayward kick in the bollocks shortly after.
Just as well we win by 3 then.
Why are *people talking about today’s game in this thread?
*by people I mean “morons”.
*by people I mean “morons”.
Wow, okay captain pedant. Obviously you are technically correct, but if Aston Villa turn around a 14 goal difference in 2 games...well yeah.
It's not a foul? What?
I cant post in match day it says I dont have permission I dont know how to get it :/
both looking at the ball and they go to clear it the same time. It's a harsh foul if so but never ever ever a penalty in a million yrsIt's not a foul? What?
So kicking someone in the air isnt a foul ?
it could have been a foul looking back, but theyve both gone for the same ball with eyes on the ball. Penalty however? having a right laugh
We look completely knackered, like the end of last season. Worry for us against West Ham.
Yep. After this battering we're going to drop more points to Moyes. It's going to be a tough end to the season just like last year.
Its 1 game. No need to be so hysterical
Miserable result for us today. But we took a bit step towards top 4. Or at least Leicester did for us. Let's refocus on the league and beat WH.
Worried about how well deal with Leicester press given how we crumbled when Chelsea and Southampton did it to us.

I've been saying this for weeks. The signs have been there.
And we won every week bar Southampton?
Plus a draw is acceptable v West Ham. It doesnt change what we need to do v Leicester strangely enough
After Southampton and today, I can't trust this team to just get the job done.
It's the performances more so than the results. Each game that has gone by we've looked more and more drained. This coupled with our inability to capitalise on the teams above us dropping points when the pressure is really on just adds to my pessimism.
