Magical Manchester United.
West Ham v Spurs starting in a few minutes. Need wins for West Ham, Villa (both should be safe before they play City) and obviously City today. Would also like United to make Europa League unlike many on here...

Saturday

West Ham v Spurs
Aston Villa v Hull City
Newcastle Utd v Cardiff City
Stoke City v Fulham
Swansea v Southampton
Everton v Man City

Sunday

Arsenal v West Brom
Chelsea v Norwich

Monday

Crystal Palace v Liverpool
 
If City win today it's their title. Anything else and it's Liverpool's because the lift they will have going into Monday's match will be massive.
 
Red card for Spurs for Kaboul, come on the mighty hammers. :drool:
 
Not me. If we qualify for Europa it means all the Prem matches will be early Sunday morning for me. I need the sleep and hate it when my Saturday has no football.
 
Vintage Stuart Downing that. Never had any intention of scoring. The man's got absolutely no bottle at all.
 
1-0 West Ham. Don't think it was Carroll was it, his header, came off someone else before it went in.
 
Kane, OG.
 
Bad news for stumbling into the Europa, good news for Liverpool not winning title - if West Ham win, Everton can only lose 5th to us, on goal difference.
 
Europa League qualifiers, here we come. We'll win the rest of our matches, and Spurs have an absolute shit GD.

Exactly, I don't get this against Europa attitude. We have a huge squad and can easily play the games and get through till the knockouts, which is where the 'big players' should play. If I'm not mistaken you also have the same number of days rest too? But the main benefit other than potentially winning a European trophy is it keeps our coefficients up a bit
 
We need European football. The squad is huge and it will be valuable experience for the likes of Powell and Januzaj. And most importantly we don't want our Uefa coefficient to drop. We need to be seeded when we return to the Champions League.

Agree. And it's not full of teams like Anzi and Fc Transylvania anymore. This season's EL was/is quite interesting, full of good teams.

And everyone who doesn't want EL.. Imagine Liverpool comes 3th in their group and we face them in the EL knockout stages and we beat them. Would be special.
 
We still wont finish in the top 6. We have to play Southampton. They'll beat us.
 
Originally I was against Europa, but with LvG we might actually win it. Plus if he wants to try out different things and give everyone a chance to shine, we need as many games as possible.
 
Also as proven this week, it's tough at the business end. It's a competition worth winning.
 
Lloris made some good saves, one in particular was fantastic.
 
How do people not want Europa League here? We aren't some low team with a thin squad that can't afford to play in here to the detriment of the league. With the exception of CM and fullbacks , our squad is ridiculously overstocked especially in the attacking areas. Stop treating it like a mickey mouse competition because although it might be bad at the group stages, once you get to the knockouts its actually a decent tournament (as we learnt with our schooling by Bilbao in 2011/12)
 
Van Gaal will win the UEFA Cup for us. Moyes has gone. Stop thinking like losers. 'Oh we need no Europe to have a decent season boo hoo'. Chumps.
 
OMG, I admit I haven't had a look at the table for ages as I am not really interested to find out which midtable place we currently occupy. So just had a look now and am I right in thinking that even if we win our remaining games we still rely on Everton or Spurs dropping more than 3 points? That's shocking, we have been really really really bad!

How exactly do you know that won't change in the summer? our main aim will be to get our starting 11 up to scratch and thin the squad out IMO. SAF loved his big squad, but Moyes evidently didn't and Van Gaal might not either.
