Shocking result for Liverpool but exactly what they've done all season. Makes race for the 3rd and 4th Champs Lge spots wide open and improves our chances on finishing Top 2. 3 wins will do it now.

As I'm resigned to Utd winning the Europa, I'd quite like them to finish in Top 4. Surely better to have only 4 teams in the UCL next season than 5, with all the benefits the competition can bring to rivals. Also can't see Liverpool taking big steps forward next year if they're stuck in the Europa.

That would be fantastic for Liverpool to balls up a top 4 spot when they had no European football this year...

I think a win at palace and then home to arsenal would pretty much guarantee 2nd, we're 7 points ahead of city with a massive goal difference

You missed out their last home game where they drew 2-2 against Leicester having been down 2-0. They are beatable.

If sam plays route 1 football we will struggle.
We will get the majority of possession we need to make it count.

Palace away is the biggest game of the title run in because this tells us exactly the mentality of this team and the appetite for a fight to the finish with Chelsea.

Nothing will eradicate the horrible defeat in the Semi but a strong performance here and instantly the mind is focussed again on the main prize at stake - the Premier League title.

Fuck me what a defeatist attitude changing the title. 2nd is really all you can aim for?

"Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory." Poor old Bill Nick will be turning in his grave.

And we wonder why we get called legends, even our fans can't handle any pressure.

Not that I ever thought we would finish first but why are you changing the title? We lost a cup match on Saturday not a league match.

Are you familiar with spurs and the words expectation, pressure and deliver, if so you will realise why people adopt this attitude.
