If this were true, how the feck have we clawed 12 odd points on them this season?
Top 4 Race 19/20 | duffer: "We [Chelsea] are getting 3rd. Despite what the lunatics in here think, Man United are not all that."
- Thread starter Andy_Cole
- Start date
Worth reminding people, Southampton’s away form this year has been excellent, despite the Leicester hammering; eight wins so far.
You would rather we win by less than three goals tomorrow than by 3, if given the choice?
It's a completely different United now though, finally the starting XI is sat at the table with the Elite again.
A squad like the starting XI should be beating Southampton regardless of their form.
It’s also worth reminding the Caf that our own form isn’t bad either, we are a far better team than Southampton, and have better players all over the pitch. Seems they have largely forgotten this.
Wonder what the odds on both Chelsea and Leicester taking 3 goal whoppings would have been this weekend!
We cannot let this opportunity pass us by, as simply sitting 3rd makes a massive statement with just 3 games to go after!

Yep, if we can't be confident, without being complacent, now, when on earth can we!
It's not Satan you fool! It's Fergie on a fancy dress party.And you have that on your shirts as well as a bloke dressed up as Satan taking photos with kids every game.
Your players kiss sometimes kiss an image of Satan when they score.
Even this site has this...It's all a conspiracy.
We need to win tomorrow so we can tinker with our squad for Thursday and then play a strong side for the FA Cup.
Presumably soyuncu will be out for last 3 games of the season as well after that.
Not ideal for Leicester.
Quite fancy Rashford & martial vs Morgan (is he still the back up?)

Just seen the Bournemouth result 
Thursday is an absolute must win, we can still easily throw this away if we don't win our next 3 games and need to get a result on the final day against Leicester where anything can happen.
Southampton scored within the first 20mins(due to shit goalkeeping from city)and then parked one of the biggest buses in Britain. City had 74% possession, 26 shots(6 on target)and also hit the post.
It was still a great result and shows why tomorrow match could be difficult but people shouldn't look into the city game too much.
I think we've won games where we've played first and then they've dropped points later.
It’s going to be extremely interesting tomorrow once we find out the CAS verdict regarding City’s European ban. If the ban stands, that’s going to give the likes of Wolves, Sheffield Utd & possibly Spurs an added extra bit of incentive to try and nick 5th place.
Can't believe after the disastrous first half we were having we're now ready to be 3rd in the league. So excited about next game.
Yeah fully agreed. Would take an absolute miracle.
Ducks in a row: 22
We have to rotate the squad sometime. We have 4 games in 9 days.
It feels like the team has it's mojo back, it's the first time I've gone into a game and heard songs in my head like 'Glory Glory Man United' in a long time, haven't had the swagger to feel that, or hear that.
Former legends are finally content again, it's fantastic honestly.
Match days are something I haven't had a good feeling about for nearly 8 years now, Pogba contract + Sancho would be perfect and one top class addition... and a squad player and then it's honestly touching distance away.
Hoping the Glazers fully back each summer to spend big and show the world again what makes the club so great.
After so many false dawns it finally feels like it's there.
I'm expecting top 4 at this point, I think once the Southampton game is over hopefully it'll be momentum that will take the squad through.
One massive bonus is if United with the Europa League, next season starts 3 weeks after, meaning the momentum the team finishes with will give fresh start next year.
I fully expect Chelsea and Leicester to be faltering early next season too.
We must score first against Southampton, if they score first they will park the bus and we will be frustrated. The first 30 mins we have to absolutely batter them with wave after wave of attacks and get that first goal. It is so crucial otherwise the boys will be nervous.
Yeah when Leicester led 1-0 we were a massive seven goals behind them and unbelievably we end the day just three behind and just cannot get my head around that at all. I appreciate that we still have to do our job later today but the fact we have the GD door now ajar too is frankly incredible.
I'd honestly rather rotate in the Chelsea game.
If we miss out on top 4 this year we'll have finished outside the CL spaces in 5 out 7 seasons post-Fergie - it's almost unthinkable to not be playing in the top european competition for a club like this.
If City's ban gets upheld that could change things, providing we get a good win tomorrow.
No way Ole is going to rotate for a semi final. He wants his first trophy and he will play a full strength side.
Beat Southampton and Palace and I’ll want Chelsea to break Liverpool’s unbeaten record at Anfield
Could care less about Liverpool’s record. Chelsea need to lose that game cause most likely they will win the other two.
They’ll drop points to Wolves
No team talk needed tomorrow.
Show the team the league table.
Show the team the league table.
And It'll happen again after we beat(likely) Southampton. After the game people will jump on the "We are the third best team in the league" and gloat then comes CP and they'll start shitting the bed again going on long tangent trying to explain why CP is a dangerous team to us despite them losing 5 in a row including thumpings.
Some decent post-lockdown collapses around Europe - Leicester, Real Sociedad, Lazio.
Think it's gonna United third and Chelsea fourth now.

Technically whatever happens on Monday has not bearing to the weekend because weekends don't include Mondays which means it has been a perfect weekend regardless of what happens on Monday
If Chelsea drop points to Liverpool and we get 3 wins we can basically be guaranteed to finish above them before we even play our last game against Leicester (potentially rest players for the FA Cup final). If Chelsea win their next 2 we'll go into the last game against Leicester needing a result.
I'm assuming you don't have a crystal ball and can guarantee Chelsea drop points against Wolves, or we won't lose our last game. It's absolutely baffling when people want to laugh at our rivals more than they want what's best for our own team.
We ain’t losing nothing chief, Ole’s at the wheel man, chill
It’s the hope that gets ya!
That’s right, and the thing he’s holding is a three-pronged hairdryer!
Yeah, but you’ve had Terry on the back of yours...
3 nil win against Southampton and a 5 man substitution on the hour because we have a 3 goal lead.
Pogba and Rashford were injured not that long ago, I think they will need to be rested more so than the other lads.
Pretty much the dream scenario, with one for each of our front 3.
