im assuming theyll play a strong side midweek vs Soton, especially given how poor their youth side looked over the weekend.

But then they have United this coming weekend. Do we actually root for United so we can close the gap to Liverpool?

No.

Yes we do. If the dippers won the league the media would be unbearable.........Milner to the dippers and Raheem to us. I just can't contemplate the spin they would put on that.

I'd prefer both to lose.
I'd take a draw. Better have both dropping points.
Then just keep getting 3 points ourselves.
Gain two on Dippers. Scum fall behind two.

No.


I'd be happy with a draw and 5 red cards and 8 players injured. And also if the fans could destroy each other that would be brilliant!

would be best.

Draw the sensible option. Fuck rags. Never root for them.

Whatever happens we can smile provided we do our job on Sunday.

I want rags to lose. No. Actually I want them to be humiliated.

A draw would not be bad either tho.

How about a humiliating draw.
They draw 0-0 after a war of a game in which 3 Liverpool and Ibra are sent off.
The match finishing 8 against 10 and United still couldn't score.

Cannot contemplate a scum win especially , slightly worryingly, as they are in very good form at the mo.They need the wind taking out of their sails and they need the luck to turn against them as well. A defeat or a crap nil nil would help and Ibra getting a cruciate

How good would their form be if two footed lunges were red carded, offside goals did not count, obvious penalty shouts again'st them were given and Zlatan's elbows were not classified as 'experience of an old pro'?

If we got that type of treatment we would be unstoppable.
