What would be better...

[Guest Ant]

A win v Man United and a Draw v Stoke

 

Or A draw v Man United and a win v Stoke

[smicer07]

Obviously the win against Man U.

[Jacks Jackie Jackson]

A win against Man Utd and a win against Stoke. S'obvious.

Or A draw v Man United and a win v Stoke

 

Win vs Man U and draw vs Stoke is better than the other way round.

[psl]

Quite obviously a win against Manchester United. Why are you having so much difficulty with this Ant?

 

At the end of the season, the Mancs will be much closer to us than Stoke. So therefore, we're much better off negatively affecting their points total than Stoke's. This really isn't complicated.

Is this a trick question or are you still struggling to understand?

[Stevie H]

for christ's sake ant.

[psl]

Not to mention the fact that if we don't win the title this year, I'd take anyone else to win it so they remain behind us.

[Cooger]

I think Ant is hinting at the fact people would have probably taken four points out of those two games before the Man U game.

exactly.

 

Although it's not always as simple as that.

 

As pissed off as I am, s*** happens. We won't beat every team, Stoke won't lose every game

[RP]

Is this a trick question?

 

Or just a f*ckin stupid one?

I think he's trying to be clever......but ending up looking stupid. Again.

[Guest Snorky]

f***in lay off him will you. He's asking a question that was asked in the pub last night and he wasn't even there to hear it and I never told him.

 

If you dont like his posts then put him on ignore.

[Mike]

leave... the... kid... alone

[lfc4eva99]

Beating United after so long, obviously.

[Guest Ant]

Serious question...

 

What's the f***ing point in beating Manchester United without your two best players one week if you are going to draw at home with your best players v Stoke the next?

 

I'd have much rather have seen us in hindsight draw at home to Mancs, beat Stoke and capitalise on the Chelsea v Man United draw. The thing is the likelihood of Chelsea and Man United beating Stoke this season at home, are well, pretty much spot on.

 

Last season, as much as not winning a game v the rest of the top 4 didn't do our league challenge any good, neither did drawing and dropping points at home to teams like Birmingham Last season.

Can you really not understand?

[lfc4eva99]

United would have one more point if we had drawn with them.

This is a serious question, and I don't wish to sound patronising or like I'm taking the piss.

 

Do you understand the concept of a six pointer, and how us beating the Mancs negatively affects their points total as well as positively affecting ours?

Closing this due to childish attacks on Ant. Tell you what, you wouldn't have acted the same way in the pub to the 6ft plus fella last night who was saying the same thing.
