The Race for Top 4

[jod23]

Before Kane's injury I would have said we'll definitely make it. Now we are right back in the mix with the rest. Maybe Janssen can score 4-5 in this run home and make himself the unlikely hero!

What injury?? I hadnt heard.

Haha been so busy with work. Only just realised earlier today that Chelsea has ousted Unites from the FA Cup.

Man United's run home.
A - Man City (TBC)
A - Southampton (TBC)
A - Middlesbrough
H - West Brom
H - Everton
A - Sunderland
H - Chelsea
A - Burnley
H - Swansea
A - Arsenal
A - Tottenham
H - Palace

Interesting run in for Utd, 3/4 top 4 rivals away but also 3/4 relegation battlers away and they're not easy to play at this point in the season as they're desperate for points to stay up. Everton and Brom will be looking to try and get European football too.

Looks like a lot of matches against highly motivated teams so if they come through that inside the top 4 they've earned it the hard way imo.

Tony Pulis sides don't try once they hit 40 points.

If we lose Lovren/Hendo long term we are up s**t creek. I do not want to see Lucas ever play at CB again for us but you just know it is going to happen.

Could be the season Arsenal finally miss, I couldn't give a s**t either way tbh.

If it helps get Wenger out and gives the club a bit of a shake up then so be it.

 

[jod23]

Arsenal will rally. They always do once they know they cant win the title.

Lol.

I've said it all year but I just can't see us making the top 4, think we will just miss out

You gave everyone too big a headstart. At least you're not in 6th anymore right.

Refreshing.

 

[jod23]

Dropped points for United. Win for Spurs and Liverpool.

Interdasting times. City v Arsenal to come. Cant they both lose.

 

[Cruyff14]

I can't see us winning tonight.

 

[jd2010]

An Arsenal loss and a Wenger contract extension would cap off a good weekend of results

Chelsea have City midweek right?

the race is pretty much all done i reckon. dont see the top 4 changing. utd could push in with their 2? games in hand but they need a very good run home.

Smash em for us please

Their run home is pretty tough though. I dont mind the top four staying as it is.

if lfc finish above united and arse, mou and wenger should be saked. this is the worst lfc squad ever.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Sacked or saked?

 

[chef]

Sacked or saked?

Im picturing them being drowned in sake.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Would be massively disappointing if we miss top 4, but if we win the EL it'd make up for it easily.

That should be Mou's focus, winning the EL, put all we've got into it.

Call it a bit weird, but even before we won the title, I always felt like Liverpool seemed a lot more... mortal. While there are good players there, they have players that hit a little closer to home, which just makes them seem more... beatable. I feel like the only teams that still don't feel mortal are Chelsea and City. United's a weird case, I thought 14-15 United was scary (up to the 5-3), and even this side does have some scares, but the fear factor has faded a lot since.
