Out of United's remaining 9 league games, 5 of them are against sides currently sitting in the bottom 7...

That's normally where they struggle, so lets see.

Lets hope so...

[Magic Lamps 11,449]

well this did not go as planeed but who cares.

if we play like today we don't need to be worried by anyone but if we pick up more injuries we will surely lose our rhythm. Squad management is everything now with the few games left.

I am worried about City, Wolves at the bride. Sheffield away we need to be clever

 

Utd are good at parkng the bus and countering with their quick players but they have been beaten 10 times this season mostly by teams who just sat back and they struggled to create. Lets hope that is what we will see from them. They lack genuine quality. Apart from Fernandes they have no creators and martial and james are only good in space.

I would be ashamed to celebrate a win of a team playing such disgusting and fucked up football like ManU do. They play like a better relegation candidate. Horrible football. Boring style which doesn‘t contribute to the sport at all.

Most footy fans know this, but according to eng media they are on the verge of becoming a force

ManU have played like utter wank for all of the 20 years i have been watching football. under Ferguson they always humped long balls to the the middle, tried to win second balls, distributed it to their wings and then just pumped corners in the box. Rinse and repeat. Always got lucky tho. I cant stand how pool and esp Manu always get favoured by the footballing institutions, be it Fa, refs or media. such disgusting clubs.

We can't keep looking back at teams behind us. Too many for close comfort

Our aim right now should be to overtake Leicester.

if we win 7 of the next 9 games (and if the 2 loses are not against either Sheffield Uniter or Wolves, unless they cock up in other games as well, then it doesn't matter who the 2 losses are against) it is mathematically impossible to miss CL

If Manure lose one and draw one, or draw 2, then it is mathematically impossible for us to not get 4th (or even possibly get 3rd) if we win 7 and lose two (again we must beat wolves and Sheffield united, unless they cock up in other games, then simply winning any 7 works)

Manure can even go 8 win, one loss, but still not pass us if we  go 7 and 2 and beat them on GD (we are down 2)

that damn shitty game today was a big one and that fluke late late goal by Manure was potentially huge, grrrrrrrrrrrr

Watching some of the analyst praise united hurt my brain a bit. United has spent 200m in one season and they are in top 4 battle,not title contention.

Our problem is everytime we think can over take them we drop points.

Guess in a way deserve praise for being unbeaten in whatever it is 9 or 10..and doing the double for first time on 10 years. We've let them back in it and so annoying we have!

Steven Bergwijn: Jose Mourinho expects Tottenham winger to miss rest of season with ankle injury

 

At this point I'd be surprised for any goal Spurs score till the end of the season.

His own players under the bus.

Great. There was a very slim chance of Spds taking anything from United next this weekend but now it's pretty much a guarenteed 3 points.

That's it. Way theyve been hard to see where they'll drop points. Let's just hope we dont!

[LAM09 6,547]

Might as well forget about Spurs altogether now. Arsenal have more hope.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Know its worse case but still...would be gutting if were a fan for Liverpool to lift he trophy to a empty stadium.

IF they pull that off

we are well and truly fucked next year

as that is deffo a better team than we will have (Sancho being the swing true gut punch)

we had better all hope Shitty's full two year ban is upheld, as the first 3 spots quite likely are taken (Bindippers, Shitty, Manue)

meaning we are going to be fighting with four or five other teams for fourth and fifth
