69% possession and Schmeichel barely had to do anything in the 2nd half.

That's the end of the top 4 race.
Sums up United's season to be honest, plenty of the ball but doing nothing with it, like you said top 4 is gone and hopefully it is the final nail in the Coffin for LVG. I know Leicester are going for the league and good luck to them but we should be winning games like that especially with 69% possession though we should of had a penalty as the foul on Memphis was on the line.

Hope Leicester win it now as they are a good team though today highlights just how far we have fallen since Sir Alex retired, if we had anything about us we should be winning this league comfortably given the strength of the league this season. Yes Leicester have done superb this season and i'm pleased for them that they have all but won the league but if any of the top clubs like ourselves, Chelsea, Man.City, Arsenal or Liverpool had anything about them there is no way they would of won it, it has been a poor season in terms of quality this season even if it has been exciting. I was looking earlier and apparently Leicester have the lowest possession rate, goal scoring rate, points per game rate as well as conceding more goals of any Champions in the last 10 to 12 years, so that highlights how poor United and the other top teams have been this season. Good luck to Leicester they deserve to win the league and deserve all the credit and i feel it is good for Football especially nowadays with the money spent that a small team with hardly any money spent can beat the big boys at there own game it is refreshing but from a United point of view it is as frustrating as hell. Hope this is the end of LVG at last.

He should have got a penalty if the useless twit in black had any bottle.

I don't think having short cameo's does any player a favour. It's not like Lingard ' s on fire is it?
He was effective today, and has been of late. He's never going to set the world alight, but he does the job and is a useful part of attacking trio. Depay hasn't done anything to take his place in the team, even when given the chance, I'd like to see him get more minutes, and LVG, if he had to take Lingard off, should have put Depay on instead of Mata.

We have too many players who just do a job tbh, probably why we're in the situation we're in now.

I wonder what sort of speech LvG will give tomorrow evening, surely it won't top last year's one?!
A resignation speech would be a first at an awards ceremony. Not going to happen though.

I wouldn't put it totally past him to say we're still going to get in the top 4 and do the treble next season.

At which point the men in white coats come and cart him off.

Well he is deluded enough to do it, forgot the awards were tomorrow actually.

His last speech was crazy enough, since this might be his last one with us, Lord only knows what he might say, hopefully it will be entertaining once again!

The fact that his speeches have been more entertaining than his teams play is just all manner of wrong, and is but just one reason why he should leave us, but still I am looking forward to it.

De Gea should have the main award wrapped up for I think it will be the fourth year in a row.

Goal of the season for me was Martial v Stoke I think it was, and young player of the year, well it has to be Rashford doesn't it?

He'll have to get in the queue. They need to take Wenger first

So Wenger first, LvG second, and Martinez third?!

They can keep each other company on the bus. Share some mad ramblings with one another.

Not quite sure what the wisdom is having an awards ceremony before the season has even finished.

Our chance well and truly wasted.

Tbf we don't have any players who know what it's like to be champions anyway. Even 4th is out of our reach.

Hopefully the suits made the decision a while back.

It is a bit strange, as it would have been better to have it after, then we could (if successful) show off the FA Cup at the very least.

Tomorrow will just feel a bit deflated, seeing as we are in a battle for fifth place.

I just think awards should all be done after the season has finished (not just ours, but PFA, FWA etc as well).

No it isn't. Win our last 3 games, 69 points. City (if they lose today) win 1, draw 1 (Ars home, Swansea away), 68 points. Difficult task though to win our last 3 and if City pull it back today, yeah it's gone.

I know you're a cup half full kind of guy but we have won 2 premier league games away from home this year. We're not going to get 6 points from Norwich and West Ham. Norwich will probably get something off us.

Any realistic chance of top 4 ended today.

Hopefully we can get an FA Cup and Louis can do one.

Goals scored in the PL in the past 5 seasons:

2011-12 (SAF's 2nd to last season): 89
2012-13 (SAF's last season): 86
2013-14 (Moyes/Giggs): 64
2014-15 (LVG): 62
2015-16 (LVG, 3 games to go): 43

What a fall.

To be fair, we were playing the Champions, so as bad as a draw was in terms of missed, or dropped points, today was not the real cause for us not getting into fourth place.

That would be that dreadful period over Christmas and the new year.

City and Pellegrino have been useless this season. No wonder they're getting rid of him

Our away form, unproductive football has left us where we are today, we've been quite close to fourth spot for large parts of the season.We were practically level on points with City after beating them. The December shit fest is a smokescreen for
a generally poor season overall.

It's the one step forward,two steps back that's done us.

A big change is needed.

Yeah the word that most comes to mind in regards to this season, is frustrating/frustration, as being so close, yet so very far away does leave a very bitter taste in the mouth.

This season has not been good enough at all, we should have been challenging for the top spots, not fighting with West Ham over fifth and sixth place.

The only real positives to come out of it, are Martial, Rashford, Mensah, and of course De Gea.

We will get top 4. City will get beat by arsenal and we will win our game in hand.

Another optimist!

It could easily go to the last day, with City needing to beat Swansea away then, and us likely to beat Bournemouth at home.

Those two away games in 3 days at Norwich and West Ham worry me, though! We shall also see how we do without Fellaini... almost certainly judging by the fuss the media are making about him.
