Put your house on us winning all 3 then. You believe it's a certainty but amazingly you could more than double your money.

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.
I think we have to take into account that we are missing both our starting CBs and Martinez is a big miss when it comes to our build up from the back.
Also, the sheer volume of games we have played is insane. When we played Brighton in the semi final of the FA Cup, it was their 37th match of the season while it was something like 56th for us. That's basically half a season of extra football for the players with a world cup in between where most of our players were involved. That is absolutely going to make a difference to any team's performance barring City who have a group of 20-22 top players in their squad.
They are clueless.
My most pessimistic predictions for United had us finishing on 71 points meaning behind Liverpool on goal difference, but that was based on us only getting 1 point from Spurs and Villa, so we're ahead of that scenario.
That pessimistic prediction also had us losing to Brighton and West Ham, so 'bonus' points available there
9 more points and we're above Liverpool's 71 points and qualified.

Meme. His mask slipped when he said a few weeks ago that Chelsea were closer to being a top team than we are or how many people predict a Brighton will finish above us next season (Google showed no results)
It’s a waste of time talking to him
I will be happy to be laughing stock in a month (which will mean that they failed)
I’m here and I’m still laughing at you. We could win the treble next season, beating City in the final 4-1 and you’d still moan about us conceding a goal.
There’s never any pleasing the doom merchants and you’re the worst of the lot.

Same.
I still can't shake the idea that it'll go down to the last game of the season with us 3 points ahead of them.
they were in a 1-1 match with west ham until around the 70th minute the other day, they were in a 3-2 (needing another 70th min goal) match with forest last week stop acting like they are in some world class unstoppable form.
DId you see of those games? They were easily the better side in both. That Forest game they basically just went up the pitch and scored anytime Forest scored.
That's because Forest can't defend set pieces for shite.
We wont need to win all 3 if we can win one game out of Brighton,West Ham and Bournemouth away.
Not sure that’s the point? It’s proof that anything can happen.
West Ham should have gotten a last minute pen and Forest missed a glorious chance for 3-3.
Newcastle need 7 points* from:
Arsenal (H), Leeds (A), Brighton (H), Leicester (H), Chelsea (A)
* 6 points might be enough due to healthier GD.
United need 9 points from:
Brighton (A), West Ham (A), Wolves (H), Bournemouth (A), Chelsea (H), Fulham (H)
Go to bed. This is over.
While its still not over we're in a comfortable position. But I still worry about next week. I think we'll lose to Brighton with the form they're in. Then west ham away. A set piece and crossing team against lindelof, de gae and Shaw. Get 3 points from next week and we're on the way. I wouldn't be surprised to see Liverpool drop points also against either Fulham or brentford.
Didn't think it was a pen personally, and yeah anything can happen - but you can't really deny they're in good form.
Go on then lets have a bet, if Liverpool win every single one of their games left this season ill never post on the cafe again, if they don't, you never post again.
Deal?
Some of you really don’t deserve to support Utd. You belong at Spurs.
Don't get complacent. Liverpool are suddenly in great form are winning 3-0 after 20 today, then have Fulham and Brentford homes to come.
Relegation sides Leicesterand Southampton too, and their hardest game is home v Villa.
They could easily win that lot.
We should still see it out, but we could easily drop points in a few games.
Again you with your aggressive bs. Do you know to debste without thst tone?
Where is moaning in this? This is realistic talk about our rivals.
Moaning would be; "oh no, Liverpool will catch us. We are doomed".
You are the most annoying person on this forum. Luckily you have only 10 posts per day.
Posts like this make no sense.
People don't "deserve" to support United because they worry about us getting complacent / Liverpool being jammy feckers? Why not?
West Ham had a marginal offside goal ruled out & were denied a clear pen
There's a lot of you posting stuff very very close to that!
Im a gambling manMaybe you should check their fixture list before making these sort of bets
someone will nick a point.I’m not even remotely worried. What table and fixture lists are some of you lot looking at.

Stop shitting your pants over Liverpool and have faith in the team, even if they frustrate the living daylights out of us and do have a bottling in them.
Choking top four from here would be a monumental collapse, it really isn’t on the table at the moment.
I was quite surprised so many people think its a clear pen - he's sliding in for a challenge and it hits his arm thats between his body and the floor - not sure where else he's meant to put his arm. It's also not meant to be a penalty of you're arm is supporting your body as part of a slide. But this is a discussion for another thread.
I mean you can have faith in your team AND worry about other teams - it's not mutually exclusive.
As soon as we drew 2-2 with Sevilla I left Old Trafford thinking we're probably out now. Was I wrong to do that?
Im a gambling man
Let's hope so, as it'll take the heat off us a bit!
Although them having an incredible run of form and missing top 4 would be glorious.
I just don’t see it I’m sorry. The lead is absolutely massive. They won’t win all their remaining games despite how easy you think the fixtures are and we only need 3 wins.
I’m a realistic, measured person. I annoy you because I call you out for your constant negativity.
Read your own post history. Especially your matchday posts. And tell us all why you’re so negative ALL of the time?
Where? Show me please
As a main poster on the fantasy football thread, may I apologise for @Andycoleno9 escaping out of there. We keep him posting sensibly in there
This. How people can't understand that is beyond me
fair enough & true
I don't think any poster would take that bet .
Posters who seem awfully confident in Liverpool might.
no. You are a poster who try to pick a fight all the time. Just calling out posters in every post.
I hope you will stay a newb for a while.

.Wait, but you are also thinking like me regarding this. You also said that Liverpool have a shot for top4
