Well, we won last night but we shouldn’t get hungover. There is a lot to do. I don’t think EtH can do any harm to Klopp and it’s a win for them.
Lets break down the games all 3 teams have left to play.
I’m ignoring if it’s a home or away game because at this stage, it don’t matter. All 3 title contenders have to play Tottenham and Wolves. Arsenal and Liverpool have to play Villa and Everton in common while Liverpool and City have Fulham and West Ham opponents in common. If you believe for an instance that playing against Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Luton Town is almost same, the only team that is on disadvantage is Arsenal – because we play Chelsea and Man Utd. City on the other hand plays Brighton and Forrest.
We play 3 games against top 6 clubs, while both City and Liverpool play only Tottenham. While we have to earn a win against Man Utd at Old Trafford, Liverpool will play Aston Villa and City against Fulham. While we try to win Pochettino battle, both these team will play Everton and Brighton respectively.
That’s some tough luck. If you ask a neutral, they will say both Pool and City have a better probability to win. If you ask an Arsenal fan, we don’t give a fuck what probability says and we will beat both Chelsea and Man Utd and register a 3-0 win at Shite Hart Lane.
It’s a mixed feeling though if I am being honest. We have Champions League to play for as well, and the gods haven’t shown mercy with us playing Bayern over 2 legs and one of the City / Madrid in semis. There is no margin for error and even a draw at this point can derail your title challenge.
The best part of this 3-way title challenge is that no team plays against each other. If we win all our games, and Liverpool slips, we win the title. If Liverpool win all, they run away with the title. If City win all their games, it doesn’t matter if either Liverpool or Arsenal do no drop a point.
I would say we are in a better situation up until now than City. I would say we have much harder games to play and win than both the teams.
Away games may play a part. Pool has a run of 3 straight away games in there along with their Europa commitments.
City also have to squeeze their away game at Spurs in somewhere, postponed due to FAC, that’s effectively away from home too Wembley.
I read that Opta odds were partly influenced by betting stats. Odds influenced by betting patterns. I can drop £5m I don’t have on Arsenal to win and make us more likely to win according to the bookies
It’s too close. I’d make lolerpol faves because they have more points and only that. People making ManC faves because…ManC, and I think that’s partly the reason for many, are being lazy.
You’re right MB, ultimately I don’t give a fuck about probability, most of us won’t and I’m going to ignore any data that disagrees with me. But let’s not pretend some of these analysts are basing all their positions on nothing but data either.
Good post Ambarish
Is good we have an Engineer with the tools as our Blog Master
Hoopah
Agreed!
Watching the manure-bin dippers game. Goalless so far but christ man utd are poor.
It’s the Spuds away game that is looming largest in my mind. We need to channel the spirit of 71 for that match.
ManU are such a poor team – do they have a single player who would get into the first team of Arsenal, Liverpool or City?
Liverpool showing up and looking a level above United.
To be crowned champions we have to beat all teams during the season: it’s that simple.
If we don’t win, it’s down to not getting enough points where the manager will be rightly questioned in the final season analysis.
Unfortunately for us we lost easy points earlier in the season, and are having to rely on Pool dropping points which they don’t look like doing.
Still 60+ minutes of football so there’s hope if only a slim one.
Onana has kept United in the game.
Onana for Marc only
Manure only, Marc.
M – meek
A – appeasers
N – novices
U – underprepared
R – really fucking shit
E – execrable
Hi Marc
The only one I’d consider is a motivated and full firing Rashford.
Tony – Onana in my view is poor. He was at fault for Diaz’s goal and he’s an utter show pony, diving when he doesn’t have to etc.
I remember that twat on le Grove called Mr Serge (a shape-shifting dickhead). He was talking about Onana back in the day and saying he was the bees’ knees. I told him I always thought he (Serge) was a massive fucking Onanist. He shut up after that.
Kroenke
Not sure about Rashford. Sky have just said Allardyce is in the Director’s box – ManU are that fucking stupid are they? Their fans will go Ape shit at the thought.
aren’t not are.
Although obvious they could be!
Fucking ManU are the bollocks!
Ugly, fat, corrupt, gum chewing, cunty face Sam. Too delicious to contemplate. I’ve got a strange feeling Manure might score next despite… Ooh fuck they have
Kroenke
You missed off that he was a really shit manager at this peak and he’s nowhere near that anymore!
United thrown a lifeline and have finally woken up. Game on now.
KP Onana reminds me of Mad Jens a bit, but you’re right Onana is a showman first.
I think Fat Sam is a good fit for Maure. Should set them back a few more years.
KP
Mr Serge was an unpleasant Greek chappy for sure.
I see Maguire doing his best to help Pool win.
Good game now opening up🙏🙏🙏
Are Manure thinking…
honours are even – lets play thus out for a draw
Or
Fuck it, let’s go for all 3 points.
Get in ManU
There is an Arsenal god 2:1
A KDB special hit.
Kobbeeeeeeeeeee. What a goal.
Klopp blowing a gasket
Can ManU hold out?
No is the answer Marc
Seems to be Liverpool’s way this season with late goals. Hard to see United getting a winner.
I’ll take a draw.
A draw is a good result for us if not the best. If we win the title, we should have a medal for EtH as well.
Btw, the first para of this article was written just to jinx a Liverpool win.
At the end of the day it’s in our hands now thanks to the GD. When we we’re free scoring my gut felt it was a sign or something. I’m not going all David Icke here but I genuinely felt winning by heavy score lines meant more than the numerical achievements we were clocking up.
In my somewhat eclectic rationale I associated those GD building games as some kind of omen, and why I help such importance with Pool dropping points this evening: praise be the footballing gods!
7 games to go, and it’s finally in our hands where we have a full squad, which is why I’m not worried about our run in, which when I first posted my feelings Marc rightly reminded me of the potential banana skins. So far, so good and now Manure have helped us greatly by tipping the PL trophy scales in our favour.
I’m going full “Dare to Dream” mode as I feel this squad will leave it all out there after each game. The will bleed for each other. Zinny will cry for everyone.
Seriously, it’s ours to lose but 2 questions still remain:
Can El B keep keep our winning momentum going?
Will El B let our CL aspirations limit our PL potential?
We’ll know after the next 7 PL games at least.
