Be funny if Everton got 4th and utd won the champions league.

No set of circumstances that involve utd winning the CL would be funny unless it involved a later disqualification for them or something.

Apparently Martinez isn't that great so if he gets them to CL in his first season........

That's something that gets missed, particularly by United fans trying to scoff at Everton comparisons with Moyes. Sometimes in times of crisis the obvious gets missed.

Just being a Liverpool fan makes us all kids this season!

City will drop points somewhere and I, the eternal realist, is actually considering the possibility that we might win our last 8 games!

Normally I'd be thinking Spurs, City and Chelsea at home, 5 points would be good there, 3 tough away games, West Ham, Palace and Norwich, we're terrible away, 6 points there would be good going.

In 2 short months I've gone to, fcuk it, let's just win them all!

It'll be one hell of a comedown when it all gos tits up.

Focus on the positive.

At least you will have tits to play with...

There's no way we're going on a 14 game winning streak.

Thing is City and Chelsea are going to drop points along the way too so who knows what will happen.

3rd place would be amazing - beating last year by 4 places (and a lot of points and God knows how many goals), exceeding expectations by maybe 2 places and getting automatic qualification to the Champions League group stages. All of this and there's an outside chance that we'll have scored more goals than any premier league team ever (103 I believe is the target).

It's been a hell of a ride and it aint over yet.

bluefinger

have to say i'm really enjoying the season.

it's like i'm personally writing all of the results myself.

i too want to pinch myself to make sure i'm not dreaming.

the last few weeks have been particularly enjoyable.

i just hope moyesie doesn't get sacked anytime soon.

I never thought we'd be unbeaten this year, 4 tough away wins on the trot. The team has done everything asked of them so who knows?

I suppose unlike 08/09, it's very close to in our own hands. But taking the head down out of the clouds, 3rd would be brilliant and ahead of all our expectations. For me, it's still Chelseas to lose but if we don't get to May without even a slim possibility of a title, I'll be disappointed.

I was on about the statistician guys earlier, they'd City on 84, Chelsea 83 and us 81. Wouldn't take a hell of a lot for that to change!

God only knows what they will do to that United team over two legs.

United are 6/1 to win at old trafford.:eek:

From a purely pragmatic viewpoint I want Everton to beat Arsenal to 4th.
When the summer rolls around that would give us a big leg up over them regarding potential competition for signings.
I don't believe that Arsenal could maintain that same draw that United might without CL footie, while Everton shouldn't really be a threat in that regard.

It makes perfect sense in my head anyway!

Give me rarnes a break, it's not easy juggling god knows how many personas at once. It takes up all of my I mean, I imagine it must take up most of his time.

I feel quite sure Liverpool will at least get 3rd but would love *Kevin Keegan voice* if we won it.

There were perms about in the 80's in Ireland anyway! Saying that the fashion trends back then probably took 5-10 years to catch on! I'd say Mike had a mullet.

Interesting reading in both the Arsenal and ManU threads this morning...not happy campers at all at all.

Moyes really has been handed a sh1t sandwich in fairness and he's chowing down big time on it.

A new manager in to handle a highly successfull but ageing squad? Tick

The new manager has had a medium level of success at a smaller club..and is possibly waaaaaaay out of his depth? Tick

He's like Graeme Hodgson or Roy Souness.

Anyway, hope we annihilate Sunderland tonight although I'll settle for nervy 6-5 win

Was sad initially that UTD couldn't do us a favour by somehow holding City to perhaps a draw........then remembered it was UTD getting battered - again, and was happy despite what it means for us!

Demba Ba says he's off in the summer. Could do worse.

Versatile intelligent player, can play up top or on the sides. Good finisher.

No thanks, he's a decent player but let's see what Borini can do.

N point investing in older players with big salaries that won't improve the starting XI imo.

To think that many (most?) wanted Ba over Sturridge in that January window!

If we win all our games, we will beat Chelsea into second, but need City to slip up elsewhere. I don't think we can win them all though, I think we now have 6 on the bounce, so to win them all would be 14 on the bounce.... asking an awful lot. However, I do not see Chelsea taking all available points between now and end of season also, so I believe we can and will finish Second to City......... Lets just hope they can find a few banana skins to slip on :P

Age isn't on Ba's side but I think he'd fit our team better than the likes of Benteke and Lukaku.

He'd demand too much wages only to then be looking to leave in 12 months anyway, for my liking.

I do like reading around other forums, opposition fans seem to weigh alot of our success on the fact we've no europe, a helping factor yes but they're putting too much weight onto that opinion imo. We finished 7th last year and had europa, we are 3rd now, its hardly worth what will likely be a 15 point swing come seasons end.
Also injuries! We've had more than our fair share, suarez (suspension) coutinho,sturridge,gerrard,agger x2, sakho, johnson,enrique,allen, gerrard, sturridge all been injured for a while, not just one offs either. You could conceivably say our entire first choice back line was injured all at once over for a decent amount of time. The only clean bills of health weve had is mignolet,skrtel,hendo,sterling and suarez barring his suspension.
Others say we'll struggle with europe next year, fcuk it bring it on. We've proved everyone massively wrong this season, more of that next year too.

We will certainly struggle if the squad isnt strengthened properly. Even the top teams struggle with the Premier League and European games it really takes its toll on a squad. We were very lucky this year not to have Europa league
