As you say, too bad United couldn't ask at least a question of their neighbours. Nor do I nurse any hopes the specialist in failures can help out at the weekend. The only positive is that 3rd and automatic qualification is all but guaranteed.
Dead nervous our 3 away wins has made us complacent towards Sunderland.
We're too one dimensional and need to penetrate better.
one more down......seven more cup finals to go.
a good team can scrap, and dig out a result when needs be, and we did that last night.
we were fortunate.
I hope Gerrard does not take on a major role in these final games - because if he does, it means we are behind and trying to recover a game.
We have a tough game on Sunday. But if we win, we put off our day of reckoning a bit longer.
Chelsea will be a massive game. But if we win our 7 final games, the maths say we finish above them.
It is City that need to slip up one day soon. They are rolling on a sea of confidence right now.
But they have some tests to come.
And wouldn't it be delightful, if on May 3rd, at Goodsion Park, Everton (fighting for that 4th Champions League place) BEAT City.......to put their scouse neighbours on top of the table.
But I am getting ahead of myself.....too many big games before we get near that point.
