Top Four Possibility

[davek]

On the plus side Ibrahimovic is my fantasy team captain and the fact this is even a debate in February shows just how far we've come.

Yeah, I suppose so mate...

 

[roydo]

How on earth Leicester won the league last season? Not even getting a point today...

Told you before. That King they dug up. Strange forces at work cos of that.

 

[mightymoyes]

it has done for the last 12 years

nope they've been in the top 4 the last 12 yrs

The Champions are going down this season.

That is utterly mad and something I thought only happened in black and white footage times.

 

[ultra]

Sadly I can see them getting 22 points from their remaining 15 games mate. Even if they won 5, drew 5 and lost 5, a disastrous run of results by United's standards, they would still end up on 62 points.

No, I cant see an easy path to 6th or better for us; we're just going to have to do it the hard way. A win at Old Trafford would certainly help like

Watched Sunday supplement this morning for a change and immediately remembered why I stopped watching it. Completely scoffed at the chances of us breaking into top 6 this year, and basically said the only reason that "the club" is doing well this year is because we were lucky enough to manage to sign Koeman as manager. They also said that Koeman was dragging "the club" up to his standards. Won't be watching it again for a while.

The Sunday Supplement is basically a journalistic fan club for the Sky 5 - I stopped watching over a year ago. On the rare occasions they deign to mention us, it's to patronise us and treat us with contempt. I still won't watch it then we are kings of the Prem.

Absolutely loved that sequence on the BBC text...

'Lacklustre'


Leicester 0-0 Man Utd

Chris Sutton

Ex-Chelsea striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"United have been lacklustre. They haven't started well and Ranieri will be happy with the intensity that Leicester have started at."

GOAL - Leicester 0-1 Man Utd
Henrikh Mkhitaryan


First blood to United! Henrikh Mkhitaryan latches on to Chris Smalling's flicked header and there is no catching the United man as he powers forward before beating Kasper Schmeichel with a clinical finish.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic


....Sutton doing what Sutton does best.

Which reporter was it mate?

Don't know mate as I don't normally watch it anymore. Didn't even recognise 2 of them at all. Neil Ashton didn't really get involved. It was just a discussion between the other 3 on which there was general consensus on what I said above.

 

[Hickson9]

We have a slim chance of 6th based on one of the teams having a really poor run in.

I think we would need about 25-30 points from our last 14 matches to stand a chance of capitalising on that.

For top 4 you are looking at close to us needing another 35 points probably.

I reckon we will finish 7th with something like 63 points.

 

[rochdaleblue]

How on earth did Leicester beat us in the cup on this showing? Along with palace they must be the worst team at present in the premier league.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Question... If Utd finish 4th and win the EL does 5th get CL?

I would say no. Unless the RS finish 5th and then I'd say yes.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Told you before. That King they dug up. Strange forces at work cos of that.

Now is the winter of our discontent

 

[catcherintherye]

It is definitely still on. All of the above are inconsistent and we are looking as good as anyone bar Chelsea.

So we'd need 60-65 points from our last 14 matches to finish 4th? Ambitious..

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Top 4 is beyond us, top 6 isn't especially given how the RS are playing.

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Top 4 is not on the cards this season. And after finishing in the bottom half twice in the last two years, I'd be happy with top 8 this season.
