    I can understand that confidence considering you are 6 points clear of Liverpool, but I'd be more concerned if I was a Chelsea fan. With Pool's game in hand that leaves them one point off the London club and that GD can easily change in one game.

    It's also fooking over West Ham's chances of top five finish which is a shame after the decent season they've put in. I just can't see Liverpool dropping points in their last three fixtures.

    Oh and the ‘bent Manc **** Taylor’ gave it....it was VAR that corrected his mistake.

    that is irrelevant these days if the tackle is considered reckless or "out of control" .

    This season has been a bit bonkers, some results have been utterly bizarre ... we seem to turn up more consistently against the 'Big' teams but have a wobble against the so called 'lesser lights' ... so it might just do us a favour having our last games against 2 of the Greedy Six ... who knows?

    One thing for sure, if you'd offered any Leicester fan a last 3 games where an FA Cup final win and chance of top 4 is possible, we'd all have screamed '**** Yes!!' ... been another good season <cheers>

    It was neither though, he won the ball cleanly.

    the second part of that statement is debatable to say the least .

    And in the 1920's, that's all that counted. A century later, and you're furnished with many, many examples where that is given as a free kick, indeed a booking regardless if you get the ball first. FFS, it's a more a pen than running into the back of someone's head and going over like pissed tart on a hen night.

    Is that a jinx, mate? :biggrin: Both West Brom and Burnley will cause us loads of problems, especially Allardyce with nothing to lose. And Palace on the last day, needing a win too, is going to be hard with Zaha up against Trent and Williams. BUT, if we don't take nine points now, we don't deserve it. But we'll still have a parade because we won at Old Trafford and scored 4. (should have been 5 against 10 men though). :bandit:

    It really isn’t if you actually watch it.

    It wasn’t a penalty hence the reason it was overturned, that’s it really. Have a nice day.

    No jinx, but then again I expected Everton and Manchester United to win last night.

    Champions League place or defo a European place is yours to lose now, if anyone else had your fixture run-in I'd be saying the same. So easy peasy, some would suggest the FA made it so, that the mighty Liverpool had an easy finish, not me though bro.

    No, it is - he followed through shin-high. And as for the non-sending off of McTominey - Taylor should give his fee to Fernandes, as he seemed to be reffing that game.

    Yeah, VAR is never wrong. Oliver sends his regards from his plush holiday home bought with the brown envelopes from Morishi. <gift>

    He real didn’t follow through shin high, he won the ball first and then both players collided.

    God knows how you work that out when Leicester were effectively handed a bye by the re-arranged fixtures this week. Everyone seemed to see the funny side of that till last night though. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    @FosseFilberto how do you respond to these claims, were Leicester handed a bye to Champions League places, quite a damning claim on your club. Shocking mate.
