The battle for 4th place

[blue banks]

wouldnt surprise me if Pellers is told who the team is to start this weekend.

As someone said earlier, we've been given a get out of jail card here and this is too important to fuck up.

First read this and thought - "No way would that happen" … but, the more I think of it, it actually sounds like a good shout.

Just imagine we do get 4th place.................Our Qualifying game will be about July 17th....away to some team who reside inside the Arctic Circle.............
Get the Trawler ready lads..........

Hope they're training like fck on defending set pieces today.

Thought about it and now can't stop laughing at the idea...

Due to the attack on Man Utd bus last night and the affect it had on the players mental state West Ham have been forfeited the match and United have been gifted the 3 points to put them ahead of City in the Prem League!

Im suprised its not gifted them around 60 points putting them as league winners and highest ever points total

Not like the good old days, the days when we could only dream about becoming " fking arsenal and finishing 3rd or 4th

I know were your coming from & remember them time too well,but recently we,ve been better than them..
This is always their final at the end off the season..

Surely we can't mess up from here right? ;)

Evan a draw is enough to secure 4th place hopefully we can do it... it is City though, so no doubt they will make us sweat for it!

I wonder how motivated the gaffer will be for swans away . we didn't give him a great signoff against gunners .hez a professional n a gentleman but I wish he prepares tactically with the same intensity . God forbids but a lose away to swans will make us feel so lost .

August, not July!

All Season, I’ve been joking about Mangala conceding a stupid last minute penalty….
Mind you, there's no guarantee that United won't do the same against Bournemouth.

4-4-2 Bony and Aguero up front, with Fernando and Toure in the middle.

He is nothing if not consistent.

Pretty relaxed about this one. It's in the bag. :)

Not sure he's prepared tactically for a single domestic away game this season? Why start now?

Hopefully the players will be able to see this through despite pellegrini's laziness, idiocy and incompetence

Just hope we get a performance like Chelsea away .
And not Newcastle or Southampton away .

We've no distractions mate and a full week to recover. I'd hope the players were jumping round their living rooms as much as I was last night. Should be a big week in training

No it won't.

It is a few days after the first PL match of next season with the return leg a week later. I believe we get seeded and play second leg at home. But not sure of that.

It does disrupt the start of the season (unlike Europa league where we would be straight into the groups mid/late September).

Probably have to rearrange a PL game - too - as they usually have a midweek one early on.

Sorry for formatting but you see the teams we could be up against. These were from this season.

The worry for me isn't Swansea. It's what team will Pellers pick? Will we see Yaya back in a midfield 2? Will we see 442? The best thing we could possibly do right now would be to put Kompany in charge for 1 game. Then I'd have confidence.
