Ok tell me shut up but the table looks interesting - let's hope it's all the same tonight and west ham do us a favour

Goal difference worth an extra point to Newcastle at this late stage

Couple of two goal wins for us and two goal defeats for them and that's wiped out...

...oh, bloody hell, I'm getting my hopes up 🙈

Just seen that United have benched Maguire. No fair, that's cheating

The 'oddly specific' nature of the quoted prices is because like almost all transfers with a foreign player it is being done in Euros, but the Express doesn't accept that clubs and agents no longer deal with their beloved pound. At current exchange rates those figures are pretty much bang on €60M and €5M.

Eddie Howe mentioned Liverpool in his post match interview, not even asked by interviewer, amateur😅 We're so in his head

Good lad de Gea.

Looking like a decent day for Liverpool- can you believe.

Is.. It happening?

It’s ok, they left DeGea in goals 😂😂

Man Utd couldn't possibly fcuk up CL qualification.

Could they?

Osmosis Jones

West Ham should've had a pen that half too

martyos121

Lads, it’s an outlandish thing to say I know, but we could still actually finish third. 😂

BorneTobyWilde

Paquetá is such a hard working quality midfielder, can see why WH paid 50m for him, that was a lot

BorneTobyWilde

Check complete in 2 seconds, it took 2 minutes to try their best to make the Brentford goal legit yesterday, even though it was wide right on the half way line, and he was 2 yards off. A close call here is waved away in seconds with no lines or replay

JPup

5th still the most likely outcome but damn it, I'm starting to get my hopes up!

What a terrible signing Wout Weghorst has been. It's one thing to bring in a guy like that as temporary squad filler like we did with Arthur, but the guy has played 26 games since January.

eigrod

Rice would be the perfect replacement for Henderson.

Damien360

Fergie time at end of Utd game now. They still have a game in hand. I can't see 4th happening but it's definitely looking like squeeky bum time.

rob316

Win the last 3 games and were in the top 4, we are catching one of them. United are absolute muck.

noodler

Before today I couldn't see what two occasions utd would drop points if they lost today.

Mostly because Wolves and Bournemouth are safe.

They didn't look great today though.

On the other hand, Newcastle have harder games on paper for me but that goal difference..

DJIMI TRARORE

In Moyes we trust

And then Brighton catch us... Don't do it to yourself!

Also, this has been the least convincing six game winning streak in terms of performance

All day long and a home grown player who would protect TAA in that new role

ShamoBuc

Good weekend of results. Keeps it interesting for a while longer.

retalivity

Never doubted you Toby!

BorneTobyWilde

Brighton play teams in a fight, Everton, Arsenal, Newcastle, Southampton, City, Villa . I can't see them getting involved in the race for 4th. They'll get many results though, but not all wins, no way.

I'd love him and McAllister this summer.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

If w ecould only switch Brighton's run in for united's :)

We're as unlikely to get 4th as we are 6th. I just don't see either of them dropping enough points to be caught based on their schedules.

BorneTobyWilde

United have lost 9 games now, and they're calling it a great season, Liverpool have lost 9 games also, we're calling it a dam awful season.

Fitz*

Brighton aren't going to beat each of Newcastle, Man City & Arsenal.

We need them to beat Newcastle though.

As I said a few weeks ago, win all our games and the chance is on as both Man Utd & Newcastle were going to drop points. The Spurs - Newcastle game was a blow but who knows now with them. Pressure is on and they've never been here before. Man Utd have the fixtures but don't have the legs. 2 losses in a row. Anything can happen.

Mr Crispy

I'm still sceptical, but you never know. The pressure is on them.

Just to ease up on that a bit. It's all about where each team came from last season. CL is vital to Utd's team building ambitions. I'm unsure why we think it's not as important for us in building a new team. Maybe a bit of goodwill for the last few seasons.

One of the Utd thread regulars has been saying all season that their season is not good at all and their position in the table is really as a result of other teams drop off. Your stat above I think labels that point.

To give you credit, you did say a long time back we would be fighting for third/fourth instead of further away. I thought you were nuts when you said it but here we are.

Drink it in while it lasts. 😀

eigrod

Leicester will be a really difficult game. Need to improve in recent performances to get a win there. I hope they win tomorrow.

Charlie19

It be so wonderful if we actually got top four and funny as f**k

BorneTobyWilde

Pressure back on us now, both Newcastle and United play before us in next round of games, while we play in 8 days times. They'll both win and put pressure on, Man u at home to Wolves, they won't lose that, Newcastle away to Leeds, that is tricky but can be won. Wolves bottom of away table, no hope they'll do anything. Leeds equally as bad at home as away, hoping Big Sam can get a result out of Leeds.

There is zero pressure on Liverpool

Win all our games is the biggest issue, results have been better than performances imo so I am not convinced

theoneeyedman

Funny as fvck is right!

I thought weeks ago that if we won all of our (at the time) 9 games we'd scrape 4th, it was miracle territory and it still kinda is, but it's not over until it's over, as anyone who has followed this team should know. It's the hope that kills you, but following this team is seldom dull, and it's been great fun teasing united lads all week to loom behind you.... We'll get another week out of it anyway.

There was absolutely no indication in the entire season that we could win 6 in a row to put us in contention. I said it would take 10 in a row to finish there we are potentially on for 9, it could be just enough .

Win the 3 games and Im confident we finish in top 4.

It likes this, UTD need to win 3 of the last 4 games to secure 4th. Considering they have only won 4 games in total since the league cup final I can't see that happening! However the real question is can Liverpool win their remaining 3 and capitalise? Get over Leicester and I think they will. That's the crucial game...

fyfe79

We need Utd to have 2 draws in their last 4 games. Their away form is woeful so I suspect Bournemouth might pick up a point. Utd have 3 home games left, but one is against a (possibly) resurgent Chelsea. Could be a draw there.

If Utd draw twice and win their other 2 games, we get top 4 if we win our remaining games. That's the issue though.... despite the recent good run, our performances haven't been great at all.

I suspect Utd WILL drop 4 points, but I also think we'll stumble in one of the fixtures.

Damien360

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120567549#Comment_120567549

100% with you on that. I couldn't see even a fight for top four as a possibility before the current run of wins. Utd have home games in the next few, and I think their home form, like ourselves, is decent. I'm willing to at least hope for now.

mada999

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120567553#Comment_120567553

aye their form doesn't look good but they've 3 games at home and that will suit them. All we can do is win the rest of our games and hope for the best.

Damien360

This is just 6 games ago. Nuts we are within shooting distance now.

Ah.... You had me there until you said 'resurgent Chelsea' 😂.

Super Frankie Lampard is going to scupper our hopes again 😭

I just don't see that UTD team winning 3 of their remaining 4 games. They're unbelievably bad at the minute, very similar to what we were a few months back... However I don't see us winning our remaining games either, I just can't see us getting the points against Leicester. Monday night, home crowd will be pumped and we never play well on Monday evening fixtures either! If we do somehow win our remaining 3 games tho, we will get 4th.
