Stoke really are useless Robbie Williams spawning twats.

You're lot will still be fine. All you've gotta do is pick up maximum points from your last games and hope Chelski slip up at Liverpool which, as Urban said a while back, is perfectly possible.

3-0 Liverpool now

Yeah, but the problem is trusting Liverpool to play well. I mean, I think if Liverpool scored a goal their fan would boo them. I can't see the fan support being good. But then again if they want 4th/6th place then the club can't afford to be playing poorly in games just for the fans pride.

Handing United a 19th title and finishing in a position where you play champions league football next season or United finishing 2nd with Liverpool not playing in Europe. The fans said they'd rather see Lolerpool relegated than hand United a 19th title. So I'm not optimistic.

It's their last game in front of the Kop this season. Their fans are not going to boo them.

It's an outside possibility, but I don't thik the 'pool will resort to it - European football's far too important to them. Plus I remember Leeds being in a similar position in the 2002-3 season, where they'd have to beat Arsenal to stay up yet hand Man U the title at the same time. A game they, of course, won.

I guess we'll see eh.

I just mentioned that to a friend of mine, but I said the rivalry between Liverpool and ourselves is greater than Leeds and United. Handing United a 19th title wouldn't sit well with the fans, so the 12th man - the crowd definitely won't turn up for Chelsea. Not to mention Chelsea are actually much better team than Liverpool. Not feeling too confident but you ever know.

Plus Sunderland away is a hard game.
