We've allowed that to happen. No fault but our own unfortunately. 2nd place should have been nailed on ages ago.

Just 4 points separating 2nd and 5th.
Palace's record without Zaha.

still on course for the 'finishing above Arsenal' trophy
It would have been, but every time we win they seem to follow it up with one too. Feels like we can never get a gap on them and not have to worry, our draw against them feels all more frustrating now.
Bunch of scabby bastards today, Kane missed 2 sitters, Aurier was absolutely pathetic, rest of the team bar Eriksen was poor. Palace weren't even solid at the back or anything, they were competely there for the taking but for 80 mins we just hadn't turned up, fecking massive 3 points in the end.
Envy you lot having him. Really rate him.
Absolutely. We could have nailed second ifvMourinho hadnt shackled our attack and stifled our crearltive players. We are far too reactive and only have our own cowardly tactics and formations to blame.
Must win now versus Chelsea. Please José dont play for the 0-0 draw.
Stop being a coward. Unleash our potential.
Yeah both Liverpool and Spurs have kept up your form taking advantage of Utd dropping silly points.
Btw - is it as freaking cold in Manchester as it is in Germany right now?
Man Utd vs Chelsea
It is going to be -10 at times later in the week up here. Might just stay in bed.
Thanks. It's beatiful here as well, but with the constant threat of freezing off your testicles.
Really should be pulling for united this week and City next Sunday which could put Chelsea 7 pts back of us. But it’s united. I suppose any result will do.
First Chelsea corner was so early that I suspected the kick-off had been moved to the corner spot by Mou's request in order to sit extra-deep from the start.
-7 right now in Wien. Just horrible.
Gosh darn it. Great goal though.
It's god damn wind that is a cause for at least 10 degrees less.
Good pass by Eden but poor there by De Gea and Pogba from the cross.
De Gea is human after all.
I can´t for the love of Conte ever understand how Willian is not an automatic selection every week. He´s probaly their 2nd best attacking player. Also Moses woudl be something else, if he did not have the worst tunnelvision.
Says everything when it feels as though the game has gone already.
Was it Pogba who did not track Willian?
Pogba wass the one who pussied out in the challenge with Willian early in the counter.
Proper dull atmosphere at this one.
Everyone's cold from the outside and further chilled from the inside by the display on the pitch.
I was about to say Lukaku was having a stinker.
Hazard needs to learn to shoot
He should but I think the ref was just like I'll show the cnut, would of been funny if he showed him a straight red. He could have booked him and then the Spanish FA could have done him afterwards, I think I remember Beckham getting in trouble for you guys for deliberately getting booked (or maybe England), also didn't Real deliberately get couple of players sent off in the CL (not sure what happened but I think they still got in trouble)
Stonewall pen for Palace. And I'll wait for the FA to come back to ban Alli for his 2 dives...but maybe I won't hold my breath.
The question often gets asked "Where would Man Utd be without David de Gea....?", well my question is "Where would Tottenham be without Harry Kane?".
Player of the Year, hands down.
Lukaku has been excellent in dangerous positions today. When he's involved he's been excellent. Lovely cross, great run by Lingard.
Chelsea on the brink of their season going south
Exactly, its like asking where would City be without KDB, Liverpool without Salah and so on. Fact is he's your player and where you'd be without him doesn't matter a shite as its where you are with him that counts.
I won't because that was never my point about de Gea.I wonder whether @B20 will make a thread about where Spurs would be without Kane and how he is Pochettino's get out of jail card.
The analogy would be "Tottenham commit so many numbers going forwards to the detriment of their defence yet the only goals they score are kane solo efforts so why is pocchetino getting praise for his attacking tactics?"
Thats not happening though.
Next week looming large for Chelsea.
Mourinho Masterclass.
Hopefully this will give us a boost for the rest of the season, we improved massively after we conceded.
