Couldn't care less if we get played off the park & get a double deflection lucky last minute winner totally against the run of play. We just need to win this match. If we go out & win 5-0 then fantastic, if we're shite again & win 2-1 then that'll do me too. Dropped points here would be...

I'd agree with that, they're certainly not safe either. And it's not exclusively United chasing, West Ham and others are just as capable of picking up enough points to trouble us.

City fixtures: Villa (H), Norwich (A), United (H), Bournemouth (A), WBA (H), Chelsea (A), Stoke (H), Southampton (A), Arsenal (H), Swansea (A) United fixtures: WBA (A), West Ham (H), City (A), Everton (H), Spurs (A), Villa (H), Leicester (H), Norwich (A), Bournemouth (H) I'm taking it as a...

I'm in agreement with others on here - Wednesday could well be the key. Win that then we've got a decent little run where we could secure top 4 & even put some pressure on the guys above, lose it & then the United at home match becomes a big'un for making sure we get top 4. Don't think we'll...

Ridiculously good captain. Fantastic leader, very intelligent & articulate, and knows how to be a class act on & off the pitch. Having the presence of mind to commiserate the L'pool guys before celebrating is a very impressive thing to do. When you look at the quality of captains of some of the...

They have far less to play for in this match compared to the final; could go either way though, may just relax & play well like at our place, or may roll over if we come out at a strong pace. Think we'll need to rotate purely from a fitness point of view, only few days rest & some old legs just...

Played great today, MOTM for me. Think he's had a very poor season but can hold his head high after that performance on the big stage once again. The difference in knowing how to act with class between him & Kompany couldn't be more stark though - Kompany doesn't celebrate until shaking hands...

We needed that. Undeniably the better team over the 90 minutes & ET, not sure how we hadn't finished it before penalties - but what a boost that should hopefully be. Defence look solid with the 4 out there today & hopefully can use this as a platform to have a good end to the season.

I don't doubt he would form a good partnership with them, you seem to have misread - I said he's a good player, however we don't need him as the others are just as capable. Not seen enough of Denayer to comment, but from what I gather is he not supposed to be competent on the ball? Otamendi is...

I'd argue CB is one of the positions we least need to be in the market for. Most assume (& I hope) we'll say bye to MDM & replace with Denayer; leaving us with 4 competent CB's by anyones standard. We've got good CB's we just have horrible cover for them (both in front & at fullback) & the...

Personally think we're now in the position of all our eggs in one basket (League Cup) with regards to silverware. I've said for weeks now I'd take top 4 (top 3 ideally), League Cup win & beat Kiev (furthest we've gone in CL). Realistically that wouldn't be a completely awful season, whereas on...

We've won the league twice recently. There's no corruption aiming to stop us being successful this year, just a horrible, woeful standard of refereeing. We've definitely been shafted more often than not this season but amongst that we've just played shite too.

We have to beat a decent side at some point this season right...?

Don't think we'll miss out on top 4, however I do think if United go on a run & someone were to miss out then we'd be the most likely candidate. Leicester just can't do no wrong, Spurs are looking the team to watch out for IMO & Arsenal will have a resurgence with Sanchez back I expect; unless...

50:50 with Liverpool. They're pretty useless at times too. Said it for a while though, if we were offered the league cup & top 4 I'd take it, if United find a run of form I'd suggest we're looking the most likely to miss out on top 4 currently (maybe Arsenal but Sanchez returning will help).

Ah, yet you bother replying to said thread? Strange way to go about things.

Indeed & sadly we are extremely predictable. We force a system on players who can't manage it regardless of opposition & who we have fit, whereas you'd expect Pep to adapt the system to fit the players when we play against different styles & have injuries to certain positions. Really hope...

Definitely agree with the first part. Live with fans of other teams & they keep telling me we'll definitely win etc., people who don't watch us week in week out really don't realise how poor we've been all year until I tell them a few stats like this one.

Is it really a surprise that we lost to Leicester today? Going off of the basis of results this season in the PL, against the top 10 (prior to 3pm kickoffs) we have: W3 D3 L6 With 2 of those wins coming against newly promoted Watford & the other against Southampton at home. We've yet to beat a...
