Premier League Gameweek 35-37 + FA Cup semis

I'm going to assume this was a hail-mary jinx attempt that worked. Because the alternative...
He'll hit the ground running if he goes to a team in the same league.
How do you work that out? If we were to lose to West Ham and then lose to Leicester we could end up 5th
This is the best thing Agent Jose has done since signing Zlatan.
he means today. Not overall
So glad we never went for him.
He means by the end of today we move into 4th place on goal difference if Spurs score another
He doesn't really have a lot of options, does he?
Mourinho loves pissing on Rodgers doesn't he
Agreed. Each goal in that final match effectively counts twice.
What?
They were 14 clear of us after we lost to Burnley at the end of January.
And their GD was 21 better.
Strange half, Leicester played the best football but were killed on the counter attack. Three goals from 3 shots on target. My main hope is that Spurs keep a clean sheet 2nd half.
When teams are level on GD it should be decided on head to head results IMO.

But we will score against West Ham
And Arsenal
of course they have disappeared. Normal stuff.
Not quite. That would have us level on GD but we’d have scored fewer goals than Leicester.
Ah yes got it
Just realised you meant by end of the day
He could just go back to a back 4 with Bennett and Evans
You go too far!
We might appreciate his efforts for a moment, but the love is gone.
Why are we behind Leicester when we have the same GD and we beat them earlier this season?
You are right. Forgot their +2 will be our -2 in goal difference. We could only afford 1 goal loss if winning by 3 goals next game.
Yes. Media meltdown incomming.
Even if it stays as it is and we win by 3 against WH, a one nil loss I believe will get us 4th. But I'm not getting my hopes up. Spurs and us winning these next two will be something we can't really complain about.
We are level with Leicester on points
Leicester 62pts
Man Utd 62pts
they are only ahead on goal difference
Leicester 31
Man Utd 28
if they get beat by spurs by 4
Man Utd 28
Leicester 27
I’m only talking about this Sunday, we could end up in the top 4 and in the FA Cup final by the end of the day
Brendon always ends up messing about with tactics and it costs them.
Wait, shouldn't we be 4th already? Same on GD and we beat them earlier in the season.Our goal difference presently the same as Leicester now. If Spurs make it 4-0 we go fourth
Think 3-0 flattered spurs overall, who looked pretty lumpen until the second goal, but those two Kane goals were real class. Leicester look nice going forward, but other than Vardy they lack cutting edge. And I really fancy Martial, Rashford, Fernandes and co up against that defence.
Perfect time to bring bergwijn
They didn't play the best football. They kept possession and had a couple of half chances but are ridiculously vulnerable the other way.
He means end the day in 4th
You don't love to see Mourinho beating Leicester for us?
Today’s game against chelsea is not for the league
We need +6 goals in our favour vs Leicester in round 37 to afford a one goal loss against them. 3 goals to go.
We just need a point but should get 3. depends if West Ham decide to raise their game for nothing seeing as they're safe.
Bournemouth are toast and it's between Villa and Watford for that final relegation slot
It goes to more goals scored first.
Goals scored is next after goal difference
