Start of the season I had us finishing top 5.
I'm upgrading that to top 4.
Scouse have walked the league but they have a rebuild due in the summer with players out of contract and that will cost them a lot of money. Arsenal are a bit Spursy so no worries there next season. City also have an ageing squad and Pep looks fecked but they have the resource to come again. Us? we have a very good pool of players and some very exciting south americans joining in the summer, nail a striker, centre back and keeper and I'm making a bold prediction that we win the title next season.

Good upbeat post West. I’m a wee bit worried about the next month. Seeing Everton dispatched at home by Forrest and Fulham failing to beat Bournemouth at home has slightly unnerved me and shaken my confidence. Got to stop the wobble and get a win at Ipswich, any slip at all and City (of all teams? …that’ll teach me for writing them off) would be on Chelsea’s tail.

I agree Scot, we must beat Ipswich. Away at Everton the ref and VAR did us, straight red and a penalty with that Pickford challenge. The Fulham result was a shocker though and we need to bounce back from that. Be interesting to see if Noni is involved? He has ability but his attitude is poor. He was late for yet another team meeting on top of his stroppy attitude at being subbed off in games. Chelsea will look to off load him in the summer and he might even go this window if a suitable offer comes in. He is best mates with Carney and there is a link there with the two of them and their attitude. Well done to Maresca for stamping on it.

That’s the first time I’ve heard that Chuka has an “attitude? ”.

Yes he has Tom and that is why Marasca wants him out. The two of them cause trouble. I can tell you a few stories but will keep my powder dry.

That’s news to me. I haven’t heard one singe word against him.
