But now they need to lose two or draw three, as opposed to just drawing two. A late winner would have given us the title.

Now I'm just clutching at straws. The possible ownership news has some what cheered me up though. Just what we all needed after a result like tonight.

Mate Never say Never ... Yosi's late goal could be huge .. I think teams fancy it against United .. All it takes is one loss and its on till the last day of the season

You'll still be tipping us for the title when the mancs are lifting the trophy.

[Nicey]

Do the mancs still need to **** up still twice ? yes .. I just dont give up on Liverpool ever and she has always been good to me for it

No need for the ****ing eyes rolling bollix either

Nothing wrong with that imo.

We're scoring goals for fun and look like we could but 4 past anyone, and have done. This bodes well for the run in. We won't play teams with the attacking threat of Arsenal and Chelsea again this season so hopefully our defensive collapse will be trumped by our goal scoring. We can win all of the remaining games if we keep an attacking mentality.

You and me both fella.

Nothing wrong with that imo.

Except that it's delusional.

Your wrong there, things have changed.

Previousley they needed to drop 4 points, they now have the cushion to drop 6 points!

[DannyMan2006]

Having thought about it, we're still in the same position I honestly expected us to be. Having seen their starting line up I fancied us to take three points, but about a few days a go I was anticapating a draw.

I still think we are in with a shout of the title, we'd be crazy to think otherwise and just pack it in. The clever money remains on United as it did yesterday, but if we win our remaining games, one loss for the Mancs and they'll be panicking again.

That point last night keeps us above Chelsea and could yet be invaluable with the Mancs knowing two defeats would put them below us. We all know it's unlikely, but it is still possible.

Problem is, because of the way the fixtures are, their course to win it is looking a great deal easier.

Arsenal is their second to last game, Hull away is the last. Both potential banana skins, but both come at the wrong time and could be meaningless by the time they come along.

The fact is, if they win their next 5, it's basically over.

Pompey h
Spurs h
Boro a
City h
Wigan a

We're praying for a miracle.

Except, it's not the same is it? A draw and a loss, i mean.

I fancy them to drop three points in their next four games.

That leaves Wigan, Arsenal and Hull. Not easy. You'd rather be in their position, but form wise we are streets ahead, with a break in between each match.

We know from experience how hard it is playing in the daily grind of the premier league after a titanic game in Europe. After the two Arsenal ties they play Boro away and City at home.

For any other team top team City at home is a formality, But it is a local derby, meaning anything can happen. The players will know that if they play a part in derailing Uniteds title challenge they'd be forgiven for a season of ****e away displays, multi million pound players or not.

If Everton had lost every game this season, I would still be ****ting it over having to get a result against them. I'm sure you would. Logic need not apply in some football games. FA cup 3rd round and derby games and i tell ya, anything goes.
