We've narrowed the gap right down, though.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yeah but only 2 points off second which makes it sound a lot better. We just need to keep winning. Although the game is almost a month away, Arsenal play Pool in the next couple of league fixtures so as long as win we are guaranteed to go up at least 1 place in that game week.
it doesn't fall flat at all. My team is incredibly more successful than yours, even when we're in the middle of a transitional period. In any case, I'm not crowing, I'm actually annoyed you went there and handed them three easy points for what seems like the 20th season in a row.
Next season I'd suggest just forfeiting the match and saving on the cost of traveling
You've been in a "transitional period" for the last 3.5 years and counting ... when does it end?
Btw, switching from crowing about today's result to talking about United's past success is pretty weak. Is that what you do every match day when United look up and see themselves stuck in 6th?
Not really. Check the remaining fixtures lists.
Yet we have won more than Spurs and finished in the top 4 the same number of times.
Only one/two points off the top four so we are doing well. Will be tight come the end of the season.
And spent hundreds of millions of pounds net more than Spurs in the process ... cheque book management at its finest.
Nah he's got a point. Spurs have bottled it again.
We're 90 minutes away from another trophy and two points behind Spurs after our horrendous run of results. We're 16 unbeaten and have better players and manager than Spurs.
We. Are. Crowing.
This is so sad. Constant "my penis is bigger than yours" arguments between fans of two clubs who really shouldn't give a flying feck about one another.
We beat Southampton in 2 weeks and we've won as many trophys in 9 months as you have in 20 years.
We can spent because we generate it.
Spurs messed up badly in the 80s/90s spending more than us and not building up their club.
We've won a cup in our transition. What have you won in 55566655.5 years?
You literally won the league in black and white.
Nobody gives a feck about money spent apart from small clubs who can't spend it.
After this weekend's results, I am quite confident that we have an excellent chance of finishing second, and if results continue to go our way, we might even be able to mount a title challenge - but that's still unlikely. Nonetheless, finishing second + two trophies will be a magnificent platform for next season. It would be a reminder to other teams that UTD now mean business and are a team to be reckoned with.
And likely earned a billion more than spurs during that time. How does it matter.
Just wait until we get our new stadium says @GlastonSpur.
Is there a more competitive league 1-6? Crazy to think we're only two points off runners-up to Chelsea. (Four if City win.)
No way this is true?!
I think it's something like 2 league cups in 25 years for Spurs.
They won the League Cup in 2007-08 the one before that was 98-99, the last F.A. Cup was in 90-91. So yes. Last league title was 60-61.
No way this is true?!
Ah to hope Spurs will give you a favor. Eternal bottlers.
Yeah, just had a look at the table. 2 points off Spurs now. Not really arsed we'll still in 6th with the points so tight. We could be 3rd with a few wonky results. We'll have a game in hand so point spread could grow over next week.
So many fecking draws this season. We'd be right at the top if not top if it wasn't for all those fecking draws. 16 unbeaten in the league. Move on...
true. but we are not far from them as we once were.
still a lot of football to be played though.
Yeah but.
Net spend!
Net spend!
That last league win was part of a double.
ahhhhhh.
The easier fixtures raises its ugly head once again..
Off form Southampton just won 4-0 v a side you couldn't create one chance against.
Spurs have an out of form attack, your upcoming fixtures would have looked easier for you at Xmas than they do now. That's why you cant look weeks or months in advance.
Stop this
Don't we all mate.
'Look how much you spent compared to us'. More or less hear that when an argument is lost.
Who gives a shit how much each club spends? The club's who are envious and haven't got the same money- that's who. And then those same fans, if a billionaire buys their club, will immediately start wondering what level of player they can attract with their new wealth. Then when they win feck all complain about how much everyone else above them spent lol

It should but nobody cares about the EFL cup unless you're a lesser side. Sad reality is it's almost chairty shield level of importance and reputation. Title is long gone; if Chelsea lose games then teams from second to sixth need everything to go their way just to get level with them. Almost to the point where even if Chelsea lose next 4 or 5 everyone else, really, more or less has to win all their games remaining because Chelsea will win games again, too. Too many things have to go in favour of the chasing pack... Very very unlikely IMO as u said
Christ that's depressing!
Apparently Jamie Carragher will co-commentate on the Burnley v Chelsea game today.
Chelsea to kill the league off today.
made me chuckle. Never had one of those arguments before... fear of losing probably
Even though i think theyve walked the league, im not sure theyll win today. Dont know why
Burnley are fantastic at home, that's why!
If Chelsea win today, it'll be a great result.
Hope so.
Burnley: Heaton; Ward, Mee, Keane, Lowton; Brady, Westwood, Barton, Boyd; Barnes, Gray.
Subs: Robinson, Flanagan, Arfield, Vokes, Darikwa, Gudmundsson, Tarkowski.
Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Pedro, Diego Costa, Hazard.
Subs: Begovic, Zouma, Ake, Chalobah, Fabregas, Willian, Batshuayi.
I can see this being relatively difficult for Chelsea, Burnley have a very good home record. It'll be a deceptive 3-0 win for Chelsea I reckon.

Burnley without both Defour and Hendrick is a blow.
