No chance this will happen but I just noticed that IF Leicester and United lose to Spurs and West Ham, it would guarantee us a Top 4 spot before we even kick off at Anfield. 

No, what if they drew on final day and Chelsea lost both?

This gameweek results has ensured that top 4 will go down the wire. 

Among the 3, United seems favorites to finish top 4. Winnable game against West Ham and then a draw at home against Leicester will be enough. Chelsea are second because of the extra point, we need 4 to ensure top 4 which seems difficult with the way we're playing. Finally Leicester a close third only because they have 2 tough games on their hand, only advantage is that they have a better goad Difference. 

If and a BIG IF, all 3 teams wins their next games ... final day would be epic!!!

agree
GK Manure
CB Manure
CB Manure (Rudiger has regressed so much I would take Lindelöf over him atm)
LB Manure barely as Shaw is still shite, but Alonso is worse and Azpi at LB is WAY worse, plus Brandon Williams, even though he is a right footed LB, is miles beyond the turgid Emerson)
RB Manure
DMF hard to say, as Kante is not used there much, and Matic is a perfect foil (for a year or so more) to Pogba and Fernandes, but I will say Chels
CMF Manure
AMF Manure
LW Manure
RW Manure
CF Manure
they are better at all but one position, and that is arguable IF Kante is not used at DMF
 
so yes, hat tip to you for making that point
Sadly, United is improving every year, even though they do not reach CL football.
We play CL and get worse each year since Conte's title winning season. It was only a matter of time when United gets in front of us in the table

For a neutral fan, yes. For us? No, it’s not going to be epic unless we are like 2-0 up HT and comfortably controlling the game.

Remember we still need 1 point to reach CL (assuming we beat Liverpool) as a loss could take us to the EL.

Thats what i mentioned we need 4 to ensure CL ... 

Whatever it us or a United or Leicester fan, It still is going to be epic and edge of the seat thing. It would be epic for me.

Oops, you're right. But I was kinda basing that on the fact that they can't play for a draw on the final day, unlike another scenario, and they would have to go for the win.

Our transfer especially the big one is quite poor. If signing like emerson doesn't work out, it is fine but signing like kepa, morata, Jorginho and bakayoko cannot fail.

Edge on seat? Fine, it will be very difficult for us to not be nail biting. Much prefer if I wasn’t though.

Epic is where I disagree. There’s nothing epic about this if we lose and get knocked down to 5th.

Fair enough. For me if we get knocked off it will be surely sad and disappointing but we deserve it, didnt kill it when it was comfortably in our hands. Start of the season didnt really have much hope so I wouldnt mind the 5th place too. Beauty of the league that we have something to look forward even on the last day.

Really kinda fucking sad that in no scenario we have been discussing as possible do any of us give us a chance against Liverpool. We're basically all just inking that in as a loss. Which is fair considering our defense.

We need our lads to summon the spirit of Napoli/Barca/Bayern 2012 for these last two matches. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Well just spirit wouldnt do it ... we need those players too :(

I think if we hadnt shown that defensive..or general running in random directions against Sheffield be more confident but that was something else! 

They know what they need to do and what's at stake..but then again so did they against West Ham and Sheffield..and nearly Palace..this restart has been bad! 

Hopefully can pull something out the bag..if not..away to far away places we go. Thats what find annoying that we had it..then we've lost it..still got it but just.

Hope we can recreate those moments..

It's starting to be so obvious now that brown envelopes and money is changing hands when it comes to who the FA want to be in what position..

This has been another horrific night for VAR and officials, I'm fucking disgusted. 

Yep the shit is so obvious but sadly we still have plenty folks that still believe all is ok in epl.

the horrid thing is if they both win their next game and we lose v Liverpool, then all they need is to draw each other and they are both in, no matter what we do (short of beating Wolves by 16 or more goals at a bare minimum , and likely 18 or even more)

even beating the dippers (so we are on 66) doesn't guarantee CL unless one or both drop points in their next game before the final day as if we  then lose to Wolves, then it is the exact same thing as above, a draw would take them both through over us, as all of us would be on 66

if either of those two scenarios happen, the main reason we will miss the CL, BY FAR, (out of all 11 massive fuck-up games before), will be the blown point on the last kick of the game versus shit NUFC

THAT was the worst as it literally was a last kick of the game loss (many of the other blown ultra late leads that ended in draws would be all tied for second, and had the added kick in the jacobs of costing us TWO points, not just one)
