We will get top 4. City will get beat by arsenal and we will win our game in hand.
So you think Arsenal will beat City at the dump and we will beat West Ham away?
That goes beyond optimum !

City win and us to draw.

4th place has gone and went with our lack of goals this season. No wonder fans are not turning up for games with possession football.

Spurs have a goal difference that almost equals our goals scored column. That should be a sackable offence alone.

Yep!

I can't believe how poor Rojo was today either.I don't know how he starts above Darmian,Varela or CBJ tbh. The one time I wanted a full back to get subbed.

I am not too sure De Gea would be in full agreement with you over this point!

Scoring goals is our main problem, not keeping them out, we need to be far more ruthless in this area, if we want to improve next season.

Varela should be first choice IMO. Speed, quality and attacks the opposition defenders.
Cant wait for shaw to come back next season.

Rooney in midfield looks the part, perhaps if he had not let his ego get in the way a few years ago he would be one of the best in the world now.

Still hugely worring is the fact we whip crosses into the box and no one is attacking them.

We cant score if we dont have players in the box attacking. Its all well passing with possession but unless we attack in numbers we aint gonna be scoring more than 1 a game on a regular basis. Fans now predict 1-0 1-1 or 0-0 more this season than any other result on a united game, thats how much standards have slipped.

What you are saying is very true, and in a way goes back to that word that I used earlier of frustration, as there is so much potential in this squad to do better than we have done this season.

Playing against West ham at Upton Park, sorry "the boleyn ground" in their last game there and with the added pressure of top 4 will surely push us over the line.

Arsenal will beat city, they will both be up for it as they both need champions league football as we do.

I'm probably more hopefull then anything else.

I'd love it if all the results went our way ( shout out to the 20th anniversary of kevs breakdown )

That was a big worry today and it's happened time and again this season. Reminisent of the night of a thousand crosses.

Rojo and Valencia were floating them in. Floating! Constantly. On paper alone you know Huth will eat them all up.

On the positive side we did beat West Ham not so long ago there, and we don't actually need Arsenal to beat City. A draw would work for us just the same.

Independently these could easily happen, as could wins for us against Norwich and Bournemouth but when they all have to happen at the same time barring a surprise it looks like a long shot.

Bookies odds, just for fun:
United to beat Norwich 10/11
Arsenal or Draw vs. City (Double chance) 4/6
United to Beat West Ham 13/8
United to beat Bournemouth 2/5

A £1 bet returns £11.69, I think that's the most likely way it would happen if it did. The actual odds of United getting in the top 4 is only 7/2, but then they've got to account for all the ways it might happen, including City maybe dropping points at Swansea as well or instead of against Arsenal, and even the remote possibility that Arsenal lose against City and Villa whilst we win all 3.

Got a feeling we won't actually beat Norwich anyway.

I'm optimistic that Arsenal and City will both drop points but I don't doubt that we will too.

City and Pellegrino have been useless this season. No wonder they're getting rid of him
They'd have got rid of him even if City had a great season because they've always coveted Pep, Pellegrini said as much himself.

I admire your optimism but I'll just remind you we've only won three league games in a row once this season, and that was way back in September. That terrible December did for us as far as top 4 is concerned.

I don't agree. We've been in a decent position in the league a number of times since December. We were almost level on points with City after we beat them. Then defeats to Southampton. Sunderland,West Bromwich and Spurs followed this year.

Others drop points and we haven't taken advantage. Just over 40 goals this season in the league is the reason we're in 5th. Some idiot sold all our forwards.

December was poor but we've had plenty of shit since.

The player awards tonight should be fun with Mr S and M and Shaggy in attendance.

Another crap performance yesterday how LVG still is there is beyond my thinking. Look at us we are Man Utd and fighting to get 4th place for CL football its a damm joke. We dont play attacking football and the sooner we get better players in and a new manager the better. No we wont make 4th place, the only reason why City got beat and i was loving that too. But lets face it City had there eye on Barcelona game so decided to drop there best players had city have wont the gap would have been 7 points. So yes whilst it may be possible to still get 4th place i doubt it very highly. Rojo's performance was shocking too.

Rojo was poor but he'll probably start next game, nontheless.Darmian,CBJ and Varela haven't been seen for a while however.

The West Ham game is where we will come unstuck, they will want revenge from the cup game, and I think that they will get it.

Norwich at the weekend won't be easy, especially considering our away form.

December - 2 points out of 15. That really finished the league season there and then. Imagine having abouit 10 points more than we've got now?

Van Gaal pisses me off in so many ways, but his blind devotion to Rooney pisses me off more than anything else. He has played him all season every game, every second because 'my captain always plays' even when Rooney has been crap for most of the season.

When he was injured for those weeks it was bliss! But of course now he's back, a midfielder has to be sacrificed for him to be shoehorned into the side in midfield, so it seems Mata, Herrera and Morgan are now permanently benched to make way for his beloved Rooney.

It's cost us big this season, Van Gaals devoted love for Rooney. I just pray whoever takes over from him takes the captaincy off him and treats him like all the other players, dropping him when he's crap.

Tonight's award show should be agonising viewing, after the diasasterous season Van Gaal has inflicted on us. And the event occurs just as all chance of Ch league places are gone. And Van Gaal never did deliver on his drunken speech last year, did he?
The awards night in Moyes season took place after he was gone, it's a pity the same isn't the same this season. His speech should be the embarrassment of the night!

There's no way in the world we're going to win all three games.

Collective gut busting needed to be in play yesterday to win a home game and they didn't do it - in fact they were terrible in the second half. Doesn't matter who they were playing, it was home match, the last one that meant anything this season and they only managed one goal (how many is that for the season about 40 something?) Says it all about the season, really and the manager, who sat there with his colouring book taking little notice of what was going on in front of him and probably caring even less.

The rapid decline of Manchester United in 3 short seasons has been almost terrifying. The last title win literally feels like 10 years ago.
Another season of that loser and it could be heading for a club more fitting to Moyes - mid-table.

Maybe it did make the league a mountain to climb but Leicester went on a bit of a mini slump and I don't think we were a million miles off. Top 4 was certainly doable. Like I've said before although December was dire it was a bit of a smokescreen for excusing some of the cheap points we've thrown away since. 4 defeats in the premier league so far this year,plus the embarrassing performances to Liverpool in the Europa league.

Yeah shoehorning Rooney in the midfield doesn't sit well with me either when there are better options available.
