Yea but each have the quality to expose them and blow them away

Arsenal already destroyed them once this season

Leicester have proven themselves capable of beating either but I do think this time they will come up short and I think they will either lose both games or lose one draw one

I know exactly this, they also have their weaknesses. plus we have too play the same 2 teams in the next month

we need to better their results in the 2 fixtures really, even if it means 2 draws

If we beat Watford , we will either be in Second place , or still in third but only 2 or 3 points behind the leaders , every game is massive now

Titles is in the bag.
2016 has a 1 in it. Proof its ours (n)
Relax and enjoy it.
Squad is too good for us to fk it up. Not this time mfs.
4th would be a disappointment.


Fyi, Im trying to convince myself :stop:

More important is the year has a 1 and 6 - we last did the double in 6 and 1 :)

The favourites for top 4 may crystallise this weekend, if Man U and WHam lose their difficult away matches. If that happens, and we win, we will be 8 points ahead of Man U, effectively 9 with the GD.

There will still be a long way to go, but thats a decent buffer as we go forward.

Watford played well the other night, particularly Gomes. Capoue will want to make a point as will the new signing Mario Suarez.

How about, stick that in your fucking pipe & smoke it, you North London invading, Woolwich Wanderer ****s, day!! ?

as others have said catchy, but would definitely wait to use it. they will be out the champs league soon and do what they always seem to do and have a good finish. was going to say amazing, but they only have 1 tough fixture from start of April, and that might even turn out to be a game we want them to win:eek:

back to less posting tomorrow coopsie, back working tomorrow night:cry:

I have generally been a defender of the Europa League because, though it is a deeply flawed competition, I still think it's worth wining. However, this season is special and I would be very happy to bin it off and concentrate on the league and the FA Cup.

'61, 2016, '61, 2016...

I suspect MP will want to try and win the treble though and that could be our undoing. Still, I'm enjoying watching a proper team play exciting football.

This weekend is another opportunity to make that 4 wins on the bounce marker that we haven't made since we were in the top 4.
That's something I've always looked for and given the way other teams are playing its even more vital because you pull away rather than catch up.
At home to Watford for 4 straight wins??? Bound to fk it up lol.


No, seriously we'll win.

Gonna be a tough game tomorrow. To be honest I can envision wins away from home more than I can at home. I remember the feelings of us being frustrated at WHL too much. The things that give me hope though is that I think Watford will still play a 4-4-2, definitely a good thing for us if so and as I live in Southampton the Saints fans have been reminding me how bad Watford were at St.Mary's a few weeks back so that gives me more confidence.

I simply don't think Leicester will slip away like I thought now. It is tight though and all it takes is two losses on the bounce for them and wins from teams around them for them to suddenly drop to 4th for instance. Too many times this season have I said 'but they have tough fixtures now so they'll drop' but I feel a fool to say it any more times to be honest.

If I'm honest, I know it can be good to have the 'look up not down' mentality but I'm happier to see United lose than I am Leicester. I think it could be massive if we can get 8 points clear of them after the weekend. I'll be heavily supporting Chelsea for sure.

In previous years, tomorrows game is where we go and lose.

Right on the cusp, puts us in a great position to face City to go for 2nd spot, against a slightly softer opponent, we go fuck it up.

Every single game now, has massive importance, and will see what we are made of these days... lets get teh win and then concentate on a bloody tough away game at City....

Rather exciting season!
