Can't even get myself up for this game or the rest of the season. That cup exit has proper knocked the wind out of me. I have been let down far to many times by this club and last Saturday almost seemed like the last straw. It wasn't just the defeat, but the manner of it. They love to talk the talk this Spurs team, but barely do they walk the walk when it truely matters. If they can't get themselves up for a Cup semi final, then you need to question Are this lot really as good as we think ? Look at Liverpool last night, they might of conceded 2 sloppy goals, but in a huge game that mattered, they delivered. Spurs unfortunately don't and never do, sick and tired of it.


Did we play badly Saturday? Were Man U much better ? What if Dier effort went in.

Man up and support the team .

Much worse things going on in the world.

I don’t think Salah will start against stoke. Remember they’ve got Chelsea game straight after Rome. I doubt Klopp will risk him playing 4 games in 10 days.

If they don't beat Stoke though that Chelsea game will be a must win. I think he will start with the intent of coming off asap.

Just realised that the stoke match is at Klanfield. Might aswell chalk that one up as a 5 nil now and just cancel the fixture

yeah I thought it was at stoke for some reason. They aren't losing that I'm afraid. Stoke are proper toilet.

We need 8 points from our last 4 games to guarantee top 4:

Home to Watford
Away to West Brom
Home to Newcastle
Home to Leicester

If we can't pick up 8 points from those games we don't deserve top 4.

Really can't see us blowing fourth spot now I'm pretty confident that we will win against Watford in fact can see us winning all the remaining games.

We’d have to lose 2 of the 4 or draw 2 lose 1. That’s assuming Chelsea win all 4. Just seems very unlikely.

WBA are unbeaten in their last 3, including victory over Utd at Old Trafford and drawing with Liverpool. We’ve drawn 4 of our last 5 league games against them, and not won at the Hawthorns in 3 years.

We’ve won one of our last 5 games against Leicester, have already lost to them this season and haven’t beaten them at home for 3 years.

We’ve lost 3 of our last 5 games against Newcastle, 2 of them at home (including last season).

Let’s beat Watford, yeah?

I can certainly see Leicester and Newcastle being tricky fixtures to overcome and secure the 3 points.

Both aforementioned teams have raised the rivalry. Newcastle with their emphatic win resulting in the Woolich nicking 2nd spot ahead of ourselves...and Leicester after we had mounted a title challenge when they went on to win the league.

Leicester will love nothing more than to try and put us in our place once more.

Watford game could be the catalyst for a rock n roll finish but could easily be the same for a fizzle out. Really important to put this one to bed, otherwise I can see us really struggling to get over the line. Proper test of character this one.

Luckily Watford have absolutely nothing to play for.

None of the teams left we have to play have nothing to play for, making parallels to previous seasons is irrelevant.
