We’ve beaten them all...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Then you don't know what the word achievement means.
Err yes.
Taking a thread off topic
Did you read my post? No I won’t go away, I’ll read the the thread and continue to cringe and what people like you perceive to be an achievement.
Just how many accounts does Jose have here?
Now you have to go away lol
Nobody is going crazy mate, but fecking hell. Can't you take any joy from anything? I've been critical of United and Jose this year, but christ, it must be difficult to be this bloody miserable.
Can we ban this guy for being boring?
We just came back from 2-0 down at halftime to beat the best team in the league. A team some might have you believe are the best ever in PL history. I’d say today is one of those rare occasions in the past 5 seasons where a celebration is called for!
Just how pathetic you have to be to be told by about 10 different people to feck off and still come back like that?
So celebrate that. I'm happy United won today and denied City something that would've been truly excruciating for all of us. I'm not happy that we've beaten everyone in the league and still come absolutely nowhere near winning it.
Urns!
You say it's not meaningful unless we win something, but we did, each and every one of those games.
Every team in our league has lost to us at least once. Leagues, cups and trophies are won by winning games and we're getting into a winning habit. No one is talking about "records"
Of course it's a achievement. The same way going unbeaten at home all season is an achievement. You don't get a trophy for it, but it's not accomplished very often, making it an achievement to pull it off.
Not every aspect of football has be established with a piece of major silverware, otherwise the majority of football clubs' fans in the world would have no reason to follow football, as success is mostly for the established elite (eg in 20 years, only 5 teams have won the title, and only 7 teams have won the FA Cup). There's more to this whole thing than just winning the league.
Football is supposed to be fun. Enjoy it.

Are you one of those fans who expects instant success, or thinks we have a Devine right to win things because we once dominated?
Clearly a spoilt fan who can’t appreciate very good progress
I’ve actually been running a sophisticated algorithm that scrapes IP’s and compares them to Jose’s know locations over the last 8 months and I didn’t want to share the results while it’s still premature but here’s what I have so far.
Spoilered as it’s a pretty long report with a lot of large images and graphs:
feck off you miserable prick.
Could reach 89 points with our favourable run in but it would need 12(?) wins on the bounce to do so.
Facts and figures wise it has been an excellent league campaign.
Edit how can you have a big man, winners mentality only to have MAME DIOUF 32 as a username?

Fecking beautiful
Meh. Leave the Diouf guy alone. It's not a very significant achievement to be honest. It's just bad timing to be critical or miserable tonight. 
He's been called out for being a prime example of the ridiculous negativity that's blighted this forum for the last six months, that's allMeh. Leave the Diouf guy alone. It's not a very significant achievement to be honest. It's just bad timing to be critical or miserable tonight.
Anyone who doesn’t think this is an achievement is mental.
Nobody is wanting to be handed the Champions League or EPL trophy, but it’s a very impressive, and potentially portentous, record.

Fek off.
It actually shows clear improvement from the last 3/4 years as does our league position and points tally. Rome wasn't built in a day
Just when you think we've got no chance, we somehow do it. Chelsea, Liverpool and City were three games I thought we'd drop points in.
It has definitely been a decent end to the season and these will be results that will give us some optimism going into next season. Hopefully we do Arsenal at our place but given I'm expecting a win, we'll probably drop points.

Don’t agree. It means you don’t understand context.
Managing to beat every team in the premier league but win nothing, isn’t necessarily an achievement.
Might be wrong, but I think Spurs would do it too if they beat City next week.
Too many rubbish teams once you get outside of the top six.
Not taking anything away from today though...especially not as one of the main Jose beating sticks this season has been his "poor" record against the other top six. It''s actually a pretty impressive record at this point.
There's no polite way of saying this; you're talking out of your fecking ring piece.
achievement

- the act of achieving; attainment or accomplishment:
Oh the irony.
Are we compiling a list of words you don't understand?
"very good progress" is subjective. I feel that our progress is at the absolute minimum of what it's reasonable to expect having employed a manager purported to be among the world's best and given him hundreds of millions to spend.
It's up to individuals whether or not they appreciate a stat like this. I don't. I care about challenging for honours. I don't expect us to win everything but I'd like us to challenge.
I can live with that. I do feel generally negative about the club under Mourinho. There's plenty on the forum I'd categorise as "ridiculous positivity" but it's just an opinion. I don't dispute anybody's right to disagree with me.
What I do find odd is the calling for bannings. Very RAWK.
A predictably poor response
Oh god not a rolling eyes emoji, now you've really gone and burned me.
You need to be more of a misery then you wouldn’t get those rolling eyes
A positive thread has been completely ruined by 2 negative posters. Unbelievable tbh.
