So Sunderland won at Chelsea. Why can't we then?

Especially given Chelsea are quite likely to have nothing to play for when we face them. Neyul's already won there when it most mattered in his managerial career too.

West Brom won at Man Utd, and Fulham got a draw there. Why can't we then? Especially given they've got nothing to play for too.

Arsenal drew at West Brom, lost at home to Villa, drew with a Championship side a week ago; and last season at CR, we beat them. Why can't we do so again? Especially given there's a mounting chance they'll be safe in 4th and resting many players ahead of the Cup Final.

And Liverpool? Liverpool have lost at Hull, drawn at Swansea and drawn at West Brom. They're without Henderson tomorrow and maybe without Sturridge. They are BOUND to be nervous given the opportunity they now have to go clear; and some of their players might also know that, written off 2 years ago after a draw at home to Sunderland, Man City won their remaining games and won the title.

If Liverpool fail to win tomorrow - and especially if they lose - the whole tenor of the media coverage about them will change. Suddenly, it'll be about whether a young side will choke the title away. Suddenly, it'll be about that 24 year long wait potentially being extended in a manner which could devastate them. We have to take advantage of that.

There's a reason why people talk about the magic 40 point mark. If you don't get there, you ARE reliant on others. Huge amounts of the time, it's still OK - but by default, not by anything much that you do as a side.

Well, f**k staying up by default. Fuck relying on others. Fuck "oh, it's impossible for Sunderland to get more than 0.789 points from their remaining games" and all this bollocks. Fuck pant wetting and acting like we're already down when we're not.

We have 4 games now in which WE have the chance to show that we deserve to remain in this league. Us. No-one else; US. It's in our own hands - so let's grasp it. Shock the world, Norwich; shock the world.

OTBC. Never mind the danger.
