still a long long way to go. the title is there for the taking still, however we need a proper CM this window and probably a quality CB who can play out from the back too...get them two players in and we are bang in it. a quality CM to put in with hojbjerg and ndombele/gio would make the world of difference, wed actually be able to get hold of games properlyChelsea actually have Fulham - it's Leicester that have Southampton. But if we win on Sunday - wouldn't we technically be hoping for a Liverpool win?
On Sunday, if we beat Sheff Utd, let's just say the worst happens and Everton, Man City and Leicester all win.
Liverpool win would leave the table like:
1. Liverpool - 36
2. Man Utd - 36
3. Man City - 35
4. Leicester - 35
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5. Everton - 35
6. Tottenham -33
Draw would see it like this:
1. Man Utd - 37
2. Man City - 35
3. Leicester - 35
4. Everton - 35
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5. Liverpool - 34

Would we want a draw knowing 4 points behind United is catchable with them still to come to White Hart Lane, Stamford Bridge, Etihad etc. and only being 1 point behind Liverpool or do we want a Liverpool win knowing we're just 3 points off top with both Liverpool and Utd to come to the Lane?
This is my feeling too. The wheels would really have to come off next season for him not to see 21/22 out fully. Levy has coveted him for years and finally got his man (whether this was him getting starstruck rather than using his full judgement replacing Poch is a different question) and he's going to be incredibly reluctant to sack him if he feels things can improve. Oh, and if we manage to win a cup this season then it also makes him bulletproof in the short term.He will stay until 2022
You're right, it's Leicester, which is even better for us. That means all teams (except City) between us are playing each other this weekend.Chelsea actually have Fulham - it's Leicester that have Southampton. But if we win on Sunday - wouldn't we technically be hoping for a Liverpool win?

United, leicester and villa will all win and city will win the league, city are better at the low block than us, kinda frightening.Checked some of the upcoming matches
Win Sunday and a couple draws from those 3 would do us some good.
United v Liverpool
Southampton v Leicester
Aston Villa v Everton

I'm not too bothered about the League at the moment but I’m not sure we’d fare well against Liverpool with the coming off a lost to United, so a draw would be preferred. Assuming we beat Sheffield on Sunday, best case scenario from the latter two matches would be two draws. That would have us in the top 4 on GD.
Next three matches for Leicester are Southampton, Chelsea, Everton.
Southampton-->Leicester, Woolwich, Villa
Everton-->Villa, Leicester, Newcastle
We've got Sheffield, Liverpool, Brighton. 7pts at the end of the month could see us in 4th(?)
LC aren't getting all 9pts. Southampton are behind us 1pt, their fixtures is pretty brutal from now until March, I could see them dropping off a bit. DCL is out with a hamstring injury, Everton will struggle without him.
BMJ wasn't managing during a pandemic though.
Mourinhos record against last years relegated teams and this years bottom 3 so far, won 3, drawn 4. None of those 3 wins were by more than a single goal, Bournemouth 3-2, Norwich 2-1, WBA 1-0. Draws with Bournemouth, Norwich, Watford and Fulham.
Every club has been affected in different ways. Some are doing better without a crowd than others. We're just 3 points behind Liverpool despite everything.That would only be relevant if non of the other clubs were affected by the pandemic
Poch did fail in england you
The charity shield is not a trophy you absolute clown
If it is i won the kent cup twice so I've won a major trophy
Do the world a favour top yourself you cunt
Falling into the same traps as Pochettino really.
4231 without the required personnel the biggest trap of them all.
I'd rather see us play 352 than that fucking 4231.
Its beyond embarrassing that a manager, with the honours list of Mourinho, can manage a team so poorly.
I've been one of the biggest supporters of Mourinho and I've been one of the most optimistic on here when it's come to our chances this season, but he lost me tonight.
Its at the point where despite beating shit, for the most part, and getting to a League Cup final (which at this rate we'll have no chance of winning), I'm actually dreading playing a team at the weekend who have ONE win in 6 months in the league.
If he delivers us a trophy this year. That should be him done and he should do the honourable thing and walk. Itd be a great achievement to win us our first trophy in 13 years but we can't go in like this.
And we cannot go into a third season knowing what we all know from his past.
There is a deninite argument that not having fans in the ground has helped us because people paying a fortune to watch this would not be happy. Still its a new excuse to add to the ever growing list.That would only be relevant if non of the other clubs were affected by the pandemic
No, us getting top four, would be a failure, and is based on the notion that all are opponents play like leeds.If we can finish top4 and no trophy , it will be a success.
