    From a neutral point of view its a scintillating prospect.

    Make a change for the opposing side to bring some fans too.

    It’s the old mans birthday on May 4th so might try to get him tickets which he’ll turn down because going would jinx it. The problem with being a 65 year old football fan is that you end up with so many superstitions, doing literally anything makes you an emotional mess.

    Frank Lampard’s Derby are definitely going to beat Leeds now.

    the only superstition i have is to not bad mouth other team's results before my team's match has been played or to be happy about someone else's match going poorly because it'll literally always turn around if i do

    Man won’t have soccer Saturday on because ‘whenever I do, we lose’. I tried to point out to him that they lose quite a lot but it’s a lost cause.

    That year Kieron Richardson and Bryan Robson kept them up was the last time he hugged me. Football is serious business apparently.

    Kanté can actually do a passable impression of Lampard these days, he's such a boss.

    And yet if Lampard did an impression of Kante he'd probably lose his job. PC bullshit.

    Leeds not making it would be lol but they've still a pretty decent chance of going up automatically. Just more media GREAT or DISASTER with no in between.

    City should chuck whatever Chelsea want for Kanté.

    They'd never lose a game again.

    I reckon both are worth approx 15 points each, so we'd be down in about 15th. Add 5 points for the shit replacements and maybe 12th.

    Think of it like this, you enjoyed it more when it was Eidur Gudjohnnsen and Michael Duberry than Arjen Robben and Ricky Carvalho.

    I'm more than prepared for us never to win anything again, I never thought I'd see us win anything bar the odd cup every 20 years.

    I would rather not see Abramovich run it into the ground from exile limbo though.

    He's not got a residential visa anymore and has put Marina in to run the club, which it turns out she is not very good at doing.

    He's not even allowed in the country nowadays so I can imagine that takes a bit of the passion out and that's before you get to what the clubs been up to since Mourinho got sacked the first time round.

    With Everton giving them a bumming, Arsenal losing and now Chelsea dropping points, United must be fired up on Wednesday to get that important 4th spot.

    C’mon Ole you manc bastard.

    I just spotted Alastair Campbell giving it large in the Burnley fans, how to make it even more galling.

    Kovacic is our worst player this season, he doesn't do anything. Doesn't even foul people.

    We've got to play Man U away, probably a shit draw which will let in norf London.

    Us and Arsenal should have a pact whereby if one makes it we let the other win the final.

    Nah they just had such a head start that bumbling along has been enough. They could lose 5 games in a row and 7th would still be 5 points behind. If more of the bottom don't buck their ideas up, the entire league is fucked.

    City could score 198 points over the course of two seasons at this rate. For context, that means they've dropped as many points over two seasons as Cardiff have gained this one. Games gone.

    While it's bad that Utd need a win vs City, there seems to be the assumption that they just will because they need to now. But at least the hope is there that Man Utd aren't very good and City are.

    Aye, but that was also true last season and City borked a 2-0 lead in that one somehow.

    I have absolutely no faith in United not to get a seeing to on Wednesday, but events have perhaps conspired to inspire them somewhat. The silver-lining is that being out of the Champions League and having 'Ole at the wheel' is proper Souness-esque end of days stuff for United.

    Ruptured Achilles for Hudson-Odoi, the type of injury that can kill a pacy, tricky teenage winger. Shame.
