We are over-reacting to this loss. Yes we lost but what is more important is that we pick ourselves up and get ready for the next one.

In a nutshell.
A win next Sunday and this will be a different place and things will look a whole lot better.
Dont know if it will be a good thing or not, but by the time we take the pitch next Sunday, Cheslea will be officially champions, it wont be a side-issue and we can get on with getting over 80pts.
Any dropped points by City and Liverpool in their next two games will also make the afternoon easier too
That's ok.The problem next weekend is that Mourinho will come for a point and try to hit us on the break

That's ok.
They don't have Ibra who bullied us. Rashford is good but still raw.
We need to carry the ball into the box, or play some one-twos, not be afraid of going around the outside and get some shots away.
I think everyone will be up for it including players. An unbeaten home season is at stake. If you aren't then we don't want you.
I think where we have really struggled, and which has been lost in the present discussions, is not when teams have parked the bus against us, which we have learnt to dismantle gradually over the 90 mins, but when teams have pressed us and harried us. No surprise to see WHam outran us but had less possession.I think that they are more of a threat with pace up top, particularly if they sit back and try to soak up pressure

Will Manure also press?
56 years since our last title, but you go on being indubitably right and see where that gets you, mate.
I am gutted because we lost to Wet spam making them safe and ending our title challenge. I am gutted because Poch for some reason didn't change it like he did at Palace. Instead we kept banging on the same bolted door with predictable results. I am gutted because we are so much better than them as a team. However if we finish on 80 or more points it will have been a terrific season and last night forgotten. It won't be enough to fold now like last year we need to keep winning.

If we're all disappointed today let's cheer ourselves up by thinking about how tinkled off SKY are - they'll have to fill the next three weeks with something other than a title race that never really was.
Obviously I would love a win, but I could easily live with a draw, although a 0-0 draw would be a disappointing finale. How about a 4-4 coming back from 4-1 down??
