Villa will cause Liverpool problems even if it is at Anfield. Emery will have that defence tight and can also cause major problems for Liverpool's defence.

Would buy

I absolutely agree and hopefully the same will happen with Leeds. I just mean their players will definitely have a boost now that a new manager has come in. Hopefully they get absolutely twatted off Man City to bring morale down but I don't think the Leeds we face will be lower on morale than if Gracia stayed. I still believe we'll be too much for them but that new manager bounce will give them a bit of extra life even if it is under the dinosaur that is Allardyce.

Dyche resurged the players and beat Arsenal in his first home game so you just know Fat Sam will probably do the same against us. Was looking forward to playing Leeds under Gracia, Howe would rip them to pieces. Still think there's every chance of that but now the players will have much more fight in them.

I always find touchline bans weird. I mean they can still communicate to their assistant right so they actually get a better view of the game from the stand and just tell the assistant what subs to make etc. A ban should be a ban from the stadium imo.

West Ham squeeky bum time. Game in hand but they still have Man City, Man Utd and Brentford. Then two huge games against Leeds and Leicester as well as still playing in the semi finals of Europe. They play Leeds just 3 days after their second leg!

I once high fived someone driving in my car doing 30 mph and they were driving the other way doing 30mph. I won't be doing it again.

Yep, just a draw for Liverpool means we need to win 1 less game (win 1 draw 1), and any defeat for them means we need just 1 win and then it's on goal difference. We're in such a strong position!

Leeds is a key game for us. Looking at their recent results they've conceded in their last 10 games including 4 to Bournemouth, 6 to Liverpool, 5 to Palace and 4 to Arsenal. If we can go there and win the game with a big scoreline which we have been doing to teams recently then that will lock up our goal difference, meaning we effectively need to win just 1 more game after that.

I was just looking at the league table and fixtures and noticed it. Definitely the most positive way at looking things though!

Liverpool need to win 3 out of their 5 games just to be where we are now. Then it's who can earn more points - Liverpool in 2 games Or Newcastle in 5 games.

That bit of play on the right hand side of our own half near the corner flag was pure brilliant. Complete calmness and one touch passing then just worked our way out of it with a ball up the pitch.

Gordon has been OK, seen plenty of the ball and got himself involved. Murphy should be getting the slack tbh, been non existent.

No lascelles on bench, please take care Schar.

Same. These went away to Arsenal scored 3 goals and came away with a point. 9 times out of 10 we win this game but that 1 out of 10 keeps popping into my head. An early goal would be huge for us and a massive blow for them.

And reach a cup semi final!

Would like a Castore black and White anthem jacket but they've been sold out for ages. Can't find one anywhere.

Boro going to put a weak side out against Coventry to protect their players for the playoffs?

I thought Nkunku was agreed in the January window. What on Earth is the point of a transfer window then and why do clubs suddenly go crazy when you have all season to agree deals? Can't believe I've just realised this

How have Brighton managed to agree a fee, contract terms and pass a medical with Pedro when the transfer window isn't open? Have you always been allowed to do that?!

Just hope whoever it is has a decent logo. The fun 88 logo is one of the worst ever and absolutely ruins the shirt.

Wonder if it's someone PIF have investments in? How would that work and would that be treated the same way as a PIF owned company? Obviously win win for PIF as even if they don't own the company their shares will increase with our exposure you would expect.

One of our fans phoned up talksport this morning and said how amazing things were going and that mathematically we could still win the league (but obviously said in jest). Fucking fat Alan Brazil and that muppet Ray "party" Parlour quickly shut him down and said "think you need to check you calculator PAL" even though it is mathematically still possible. Really pissed me off

Very hard game to come back into the team. Solid LB though and exactly the kind of player we need for squad depth at the moment. He seems a good professional lad too.

Gillespie smashing up the ceiling Ohhhhh what a feeeelin'
