Of course we can complain. We should've been given the 3 points.
Obviously, but that was never gonna happen. Its us, that just doesnt fly.
Which is likely to happen.
They can lose 2nd place to Leicester though, so why would they?
To keep us out of it. Second means bugger all.
Yep shit outcome. You can guarantee they’ll roll over for Leicester and go all out to beat us.
So they will have to play 4 games in 8 days while it will be our 2nd match in 3 weeks, if we can't can't turn in a decent performance then we might as well give up.
I'd rather we play the fixture than accept a forfeit, there's no victory in that.
Second means automatic qualification for the group phase, they'd be stupid to throw that away
Agreed, no excuse for not turning up. I liked the team from Sunday, with no Gini. Hope we go pretty similar.
All English clubs get automatic qualification for group phase. Or have they changed that again?
I think you’re right. Only crappy nations have teams that need to play qualifiers.
Incorrect. Changed last year. Automatic for any English side that qualifies.
Agree with first paragraph but not with the second. All I care about are the three points, besides which letting them get away with this gives a green light to the loony tunes among other clubs' fan bases to take a leaf out of the same book if it suits them.
Including our own fans.
I cant understand why any football fan wouldn't want to see a game be played. What's the value in getting 3 points if they aren't won on the field. The hollowest of victories, we can't catch them we can't finish ahead of them but we can still go to their place and beat them. If the game can be played it should.
But if there isn’t any kind of punishment then any group of fans could just pull the same stunt if they don’t want a game to go ahead for whatever reason.
Rules are rules we should have the 3 pts plain and simple.
Maybe I'm being pessimistic but regardless of their busy schedule i wouldn't be surprised if we're the ones looking tired going into the last 20 minutes of this match as we've been like that all season. Also we always seem to be lacking in confidence when going to Old Trafford the last few years even when we had a much better team and only having a good go when we fall behind.
You attach a sod of a lot more importance to a comparison with them than I do. I'm focused on one thing only, namely the fact that those three points could be vital in getting us into the Champions League places. Against that background, being picky about their "hollowness" is what I can't understand..
Three away games om the bounce..
We just might do this..
We just might do this..
If we need to rely on a walkover to qualify for the CL then I'd rather not qualify at all. But I guess we just have to agree to disagree
Yes. I'd add that our uniquely desperate injury list this season seems to me to make a difference to any calculation whether we do or don't deserve it. On we go.
Yep he’s definitely resting his team to play us at full tilt
