the fact that Arsenal lost today increases Middlesbrough chances of getting resultWide open again, IF we can win tomorrow
Though a Liverpool win tomorrow, an Arsenal win after the international break and then a Chelsea win the week after and City might then be outside the top 4
Yes, I meant else as in other than those teams.
5th? We haven't been above 6th for months mate!
Have to win tomorrow, just to taste that sweet sweet 5th spot for a couple of weeks
Jose is a genius. He was right, we will lose tomorrow. He knew we were going to get another chance to get out of 6th.

We won't be sixth after today.... we'll be 7th
It's really annoying that we're in a top four spot. I know we're still in the Europa League, but we can't put all our eggs in one basket, we need to make a real push for a top four spot. Arsenal are having a meltdown
Oh, sorry. You meant they paid highest wages after the big three...Yes, you're right. They did.
Liverpool and Spurs splashed more on transfer fees but Arsenal did offer more in wages to their squads over the past decade. But to finish Top 4 for 17-years is truly a great feat in the EPL.
I think it's time for Gunners to freshen it up, but it won't be the same. Can see them doing something similar to us post Fergie over the next 4/5 years where they'll probably have 3 managers and struggle to achieve what the fans want...
Top 5 team lost and United are against a trash team and can jump up to fifth? Don't get excited, don't get excited, don't get excited!
We won't be sixth after today.... we'll be 7th
Yes, but with about 27 games in hand over Everton
If Wenger announcesd he is leaving now we might see a Leicester effect. It's a faint hope though, as the team are really poor.
Probably, but it would be an absolute disservice to Wenger IMO. He hasn't won anything bar an FA cup for years so you could argue his send off isn't too important, but someone who has been there for so long AND delivered albeit earlier in his tenure he deserves a good send off.
Yeah Wenger does get credit for consistency. I also think the club will struggle to win things as long as this board continues.
Immediately I can recall 2 separate occasions we have missed such a chance. How does the proverb go? Something like:
"If it happens once, it won't happen again. If it happens twice, it will happen thrice" (The Alchemist)
I know, as his situations is different from Ranieri's, but sometimes you need to cut it off without mercy.
You didn't see how poor Arsenal were? Strange.
I was wrong. It can happen.
Finding a way to win tomorrow, before the international break, is absolutely massive for our top four chances.
It will be a tough game for us, but If United do win tomorrow will we get confidence back that top 4 could happen?
Need city liverpool to Draw and please for god sake take this opportunity to get a win and move into 5th.
An away game against a struggling side with no Pogba or Zlatan and a chance to break into the top 4?
Put your house on Boro
Put your house on Boro
Imagine the problem Utd would have if without Zlatan and Pogba the rest of the squad destroy Boro 5 or 6 - 0!
You forgot Jose riling up Downing to get him to produce his usual one wonder game a calendar year.
At least we're not 6th anymore
You are not sure of qualifying as well so don't be cocky.That's one down. Now just Ty left.
I was talking about Arsenal, you're bringing Liverpool into this. Good try though.
I made a predictions, i was wrong, it can happen. Get over it, scouser.I was talking about Arsenal, you're bringing Liverpool into this. Good try though.
Your comments over the last few months were quite niggly. I think its time you get over it. Blud.
Get over it. I am a guest here and i have accepted quite well United fans mockering Arsenal (we deserve it). Now just because i have made a wrong prediction about your team you are getting on my back? Accept it.
Derby 27th April apparently? Thursday!?
No idea, Mirror says it's because City play at Wembley on Sunday and it could go to extra time so an additional day rest.
That's nice. Like when we played Rostov on Thursday and that could have gone to extra time, but they arranged the league fixture for Sunday lunchtime.
IMO if we got a top manager then we wouldn't struggle too much till now, Think Arsenal will get a big name un like us post SAF they might get their Conte.
Better than Saturday
Fa handing out dates with player rest in mind now?
It was only the Mirror after all.
Put it like this, if we miss another opportunity to move up in the table and close the gap on top 4 then we better be focusing only on the E.L chance and rest players in the league yes its not right but it feels like we miss every chance every fecking time so if we draw or lose tomorrow which I predict it will happen ( Please God hope I'm fecking so wrong ) then we will not deserve finishing top four.
