Great night for us. Just need to capitalise tomorrow

These easier fixtures huh? @GlastonSpur
I really hope we've gotten the shitty performances out of our system and capitalise.
2nd place in the table huh?
That was a very good night, can only be a great night if we win tomorrow.
Obviously with Spurs easier 2nd half of the season you should pull away.
I was edging more towards the Arsenal result, i forgot about Spurs.
With the teams we turned out in the previous three games I would have agreed with you. But it wasn't that team and no one really noticed beyond Mane (who ironically didn't play after all).
I see. I guess that's why you addressed your post to me.
Interesting point. @Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87 what are your thoughts on this subject?
Wow, did not see those results coming tonight
All too often, when two or three teams in the top five do drop points, we end up not winning as well. Need to thump Hull tomorrow and put ourselves well and truly in the argument. League is gone (and has been for a while), Chelsea will probably put everyone out of it (bar maybe Spurs) by beating Arsenal at the weekend. We could well be level on points with Arsenal and on roughly the same as third and fourth after our next two fixtures. Top four is anybodies.
Great tactician and great motivator. He always get what he wants. He always demand 100% from his players and if he loses a game he demands 200% the following game.
Great night for City and United.
Oh, thanks for the actual response, I was just making a joke because you quoted yourself
But at the same time, if Arsenal get a result against Chelsea and we win both our games - we'll be 3 points from 2nd and 9 points from first. With 15 games to go, the league could be back in play - especially with our relatively kind fixture list till end March.
Well... Yes?
6 points between 2nd and 6th, with both ourselves (6th) and City (5th) having a game in hand
No certainties at this point

You "forgot about Spurs", yet addressed your post to me ... crowing about our only drawing away to Sunderland, whilst we climbed to 2nd place
. You figure it out sunshine.United are really the only team behind Chelsea that hasn't had any insane results against poor teams this season. Yes, we've drawn a few bad ones at home, but we've only played poorly against Chelsea and Watford. Can easily see us sneaking second here.
You were the one making broad statements about the easier / harder fixture lists for the entire top 6 in this very thread, not just Spurs.You "forgot about Spurs", yet addressed your post to me ... crowing about our only drawing away to Sunderland, whilst we climbed to 2nd place
Must be hard for you to keep up.
Not really ... we draw and climb a place in the table
No one is talking about you climbing a ppace in the table we're talking about you dropping away to sunderland which is supposedly one of the easier games according to you, no?Not really ... we draw and climb a place in the table
Well, there's a surprise
Probably the best set of results all season.
If we can take nine points from the next three relatively kind fixtures, the momentum will set things up nicely for a battle on all four fronts.

Not sure why Mods allow Glaston to get away with constant wumming. Spurs would have been so much more likeable if not for him alone.
We are right bang in the mix for top 4 now provided we win tomorrow. I know we spent an absolute fortune last summer but even getting 4th would represent a good league campaign for us for this season. There are 6 clubs all gunning for 4 positions and whichever 2 miss out are gonna be bitterly disappointed with their season. The 4 clubs that get it can all build on this season and we need to be 1 of those 4. Top 4, a league Cup and maybe a Europa League or an FA Cup would be a wonderful first year for Mourinho, and all those goals are well within reach.
I meant to keep up with the nonsense you post on here. Just imagine if you won your easy game tonight rather than drop points to David Moyes. 2 points closer to Chelsea and a chance to beat Boro and put real pressure on Chelsea before they face Arsenal.Not really ... we draw and climb a place in the table
Is Boro considered easy on Saturday or will Spurs drop points again? How easy is easy?
If we can't make definite statements about fixtures 1/2/3/4 months away then what is this world coming to
If you don't like what he posts you can ignore him.
That's just an observation, or the quality of posts is no longer in the interest of this forum?
In the scheme of things it's 2 dropped points.Not really ... we draw and climb a place in the table
If your 2nd at the end of the season fair enough, but you dropped a bollock today - we all do and there is no harm in admitting it.
This feels like it simply highlights how poor each team has been within each time period referenced. Either that or it shows how good Chelsea have been.

Should be just 3 points off second by tomorrow night if we don't screw this up.

Yeah wouldnt take much from it really.
Liverpool being around the top 4 hasnt happened often lately.
Arsenal havent been challenging for the title for ages.
Same applies to spurs and their 1 out of 51 seasons is probably last season.
We didn't play well, but funnily enough created better chances. I can think of Pogba's scuffed shot, Mkhitaryan's shot, Martial's chance of Mkhi's pass etc. Liverpool were able to dictate the play after we gifted them a penalty.
With our goal difference, call it 4.Should be just 3 points off second by tomorrow night if we don't screw this up.
Hate to be that guy but im sorry we wont win tomorrow. We havethis uncanny nack of losing or drawing right at the critical point. Weve done it perhaps 3 times this season when results go our way. Its just our whoodoo and im absolutely sick of it.
I have no confidence at all in this game think it will be like the Watford one and well just get undone.

Ah well that's that sorted then.
Have the same feeling. And the not capitalising on our rivals slipping up isn't just about this season either, we routinely did the same last season. It's probably a mentality issue.
Chelsea seem solid, stodgy and hard to beat but not scintillating. I can see Chelsea drawing or losing against Arsenal and City; Which means nothing as we'll probably draw against Hull.
Spurs are really missing a spark from the bench, like a pacy young winger/striker to really stretch teams wide. They rely on their full backs to give width which can be a curse.
Just wait until Rafa brings the Geordies into contention next season and savor the unpredictability of it all.

We have to win tomorrow night. All of the top 5 bar Chelsea are there for the taking.
