Thing is, if we decide to go and break FFP, I can’t imagine us bettering what we’re doing right now. Incredible achievement when taken alongside the team in second.

Well you only need 1 loss or 2 draws in 26 games an already you'll have a worse season than this one. What we're doing right now is making a history.

Tottenham’s defeat today means they, along with 15 other teams, can no longer catch Liverpool this season.

Just Chelsea, Leicester and Man City left for us to tick off now.

Liverpool’s next three league games are all against bottom five teams, and they take place before City next play in the league.

They could be 28 points behind with 33 to play for...

I'd be amazed if we drop points in the next 3 games to be honest. Watford would be the only game in the realms of possibility. West Ham and Bornemouth at home are 2 of the easiest games you could ask for. Should be demolishing both.

After their bounce, Watford have gone back to being dogshit. They'll lose to the Mancs today and will be hoping we twat West Ham so that they can go above them on GD from 2nd bottom to 3rd, but the reality is they are gone and they will know it. They play West Ham and Norwich out of the bottom 3 sides, but those are April/May. The rest of their games, other than maybe Newcastle, you'd expect them to drop points/outright lose.

If/When we win our next three before Man City even play again in the League (v Man United at Old Trafford) I think they will have mentally given up and will drop points quickly. 28 clear with only 33 to play for is absolutely mental and something Pep and his players won't be able to get their heads around. Even more so if they lose in the CL this week and have an uphill battle going into the return leg v Real Madrid.

Don't like to look ahead of the next game, but if you're looking at those 3 before the derby we should really be taking maximum points. I thought Watford would end up surviving, but I think the damage is already done, they must be the only team in donkeys to lose a home match to Everton despite being 2 goals up. Seriously, how the fuck do you even do that? They'll need to come at us, and we should be able to exploit their defensive frailties.

West Ham tomorrow shouldn't be too different to the away game, I don't expect us to batter them 5-0, really a couple should be enough, I can't see them venturing out of their own half much. As for Bournemouth, they're probably the easiest team in the league to play against, never change their style of play or do anything differently, I'd be disappointed if I was one of our attackers walking off the pitch and I hadn't scored against them.

Moyes said yesterday he's thinking of goal difference now. I'll be surprised if we see a more attacking line up than the one he put out at City - he surely sees this one as another one where if he can get away with a narrow defeat he's done well.

He probably means trying to stop it getting any worse rather than improving it. ;D

I have to disagree. If we go 1-0 down we look around in disbelief :)

That will be exactly what he means, it is so tight at the bottom of the table that GD could be a factor.

Bottom 6

Brighton 28pts -7
Bournemouth 26pts -17,
Villa 25pts -18,
West Ham 24pts -15
Watford 24pts -19
Norwich 18pts -27

Honestly, this has been a thread where excitement has slowly built, and lots of discussion about when it will finish or how people will celebrate but your only contribution is to ask about a bloody virus?

Seriously, people need to get a grip - if the corunavirus gets worse, than cancelling a few matches will be the least of peoples worries.
