They should be hoping for draws except for maybe the Utd game.

They might not necessarily lose all three, but I would be very surprised if they win all three. Although the Barcelona game won't directly impact on their league placing it may have a significant bearing on who they field or are able to field for the Man Utd game. If they don't gain any more than 1-4 points from the two Manchester games, it gives us a very real chance of overtaking them. Of course we have to be ready to step up and take that chance.
Personally I hope they draw the Barcelona home game or even take a very slender 1 goal lead to the away leg, if this happens it will give them belief they are still in the tie and it will affect who they select in the league game before the 2nd leg. If they are thrashed at home to Barca they might be write off the 2nd leg, thus prioritizing the league placing, we all know they have previous form for being unprofessional when they want to be.

Ironically they might find the Man Utd game a little harder than the Man City game, we know that there is a simmering feud between Conte and Mourinho, he certainly won't be giving them a free pass up there, whereas Man City will have just played a League Cup final the week before and Arsenal again on the Thursday away, which is 3 days before the Chelsea game. City have a lot of room for error with a very comfortable lead at the top so they could afford to lose and still be sitting pretty.

Jonny Evans, Gareth Barry, Jake Livermore and Boaz Myhill were the players responsible
Very experienced players there, should know better.

Come on mate, who can honestly say they've never stolen a taxi whilst in Barcelona before?

They should sack all 4 players and Pardew. You can’t be having players doing that. Sod the money, sometimes you’ve got to be above it all.

Thing is though, they need to do what they have to do to stay up. From what I understand what they did was just very stupid, but I know if I was a WBA fan I'd just be annoyed at the whole debacle when they're in such a predicament and regardless of that if their further inclusion in the team meant more of a chance of survival I'd still be all for it.
What's done is done now, I think it's way too late for teams to be changing managers at this point in the season but if it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth then maybe things will be assessed after the season.

And? Would that work as an excuse for you if you stole a car?
