    Jammy is when it doesnt happen often. Relentless is what we are.

    Flukes are one offs. Like your last season.

    Explain why they weren't(in your opinion)legit?

    You can't, simply because its only your hate that won't let you accept their validity.

    honeslty UiR if you think that your lot could beat cheslea just like that because Mikel plays you are high this morning... again look at season's progres thread where i predicted all 3 teams remaining games. I even gave you a draw at chavland cos you get to play them in between QF of cl... you I SINCERELY doubt noticed that.

    In games from January to May under Brendan the results are;

    Played 44
    Won 30
    Drawn 10
    Lost 4

    Make of that what you will.

    So UiR has #bottled the poll

    Unless he's still working out how few wins he can afford to go for and still deny Man Utd's ****e form

    Think we will lose but Jose hates you guys with an unhealthy passion. Should Chelsea be comfortably clear at the top Jose is the kind of guy who likes to affect the rest of the league.

    We wont win at the bridge though. Nobody does.

    I wrote the following on regular rival watch thread

    "Here is their last ten results

    Man Utd 2-0 Sunderland
    Swansea 2-1 Man Utd
    Man Utd 3-1 Burnley
    West Ham 1-1 Man Utd
    Man Utd 3-1 Leicester
    QPR 0-2 Man Utd
    Man Utd 0-1 Southampton
    Stoke 1-1 Man Utd
    Tottenham 0-0 Man Utd
    Man Utd 3-1 Newcastle


    Pros:
    Form is 5 wins, 3 draws 2 losses

    Form is good at home 4-0-1. You have to back utd to do well at home against many sides

    They have not conceded that many goals. They've not shipped more than one goal in any game other than swansea and only 8 goals in 10 games

    Cons:
    I have put in bold the names against what i'd consider maybe top half teams. Of those only newcastle was a victory. They lost to swansea and southampton and drew with tottenham and west ham. That suggests against better sides they struggle... albeit affected by away form too

    Continuing on that last sentence. away form is an issue. only one win in last ten away. V QPR who tried to defend and then conceded later after a woeful first half. they drew 3 on the road and lost one - 1-3-1 record

    They have not given one full 90mins of good form this year. not one. They have not opened up on anyone and really hammered them. they have got 3 goals in a couple of games but also newcastle was end of pardew era and a lot of injuries and burnley are burnley and conceded a late pen.

    ...................................................

    so to a neutral.. or a pundit who's got to make a comment.. how can you really have faith that utd are going to do better when the bigger sides are put up against them and when they have away games as well?


    Newcastle (A)
    Tottenham (H)
    LFC (A)
    Aston Villa (H)
    Man City (H)
    Chelsea (A)
    Everton (A)
    West brom (H)
    Crystal Palace (A)
    Arsenal (H)
    Hull (A)

    these games are similar to the games they had except there are top 4 teams in it. ignore us... there are 3 top 4 teams in there and two are at old trafford.

    Utd need to take what 20 points out of this lot which is possible of course.

    If the away form were ton continue at 1-3-1 sort of form they might only take 5/6 points there. 6 games and they got to everton and us and cheslea. They need to pick up more points against the weaker sides on the road. lets give them a boost and say 8 on the road

    The home form then has spurs, arsenal and city in it. 5 games and i cannot see them taking 15 points there. 3-2-0 record might be good... might even be kind form me considering arsenal, tottenham and city and in that. 3-2-0 = 11 points.

    = 19 points.

    As far as i am concerned right now the LFC v Utd game is a real 6 pointer and will probably go a long way to deciding 4th spot. If LFC get no worse than a draw I think we can go for 4th. If we win I cannot see utd getting 4th from us anyway."


    So: while Uir predicted only the 9 games orignally profeered I gave all their last 11 games and still could barely see 6 wings.

    Home:
    Utd have only 5 games at home left. 3 of which are competitive ones. If they win 4 there they will have done brilliant IMO.

    I can see Utd winning 3 at home, i'd not be shocked they don't lose but they could lose to city. I don't know what city will do now. 3-2-0 record or 2-2-1 IMO (loss to city say)



    Away:

    6 games away now. according to bbc website. 3 of them they should win. Newkie, hull and everton say... however their recent away form is not that good at all.

    i could see say 3-2-1 record or 2-2-2 say... (lose to us and Chelsea obviously)

    best i estimate is 6-4-1 = 22 points and should be enough... my worst is 4-4-3 = 16 points.... not enough.

    I honestly think this one is going to come down to how each side deals with cheslea and how LFC v Utd and UTd v arsenal goes.

    No matter what names arsenal are called like bottlers a game right at the death with top 4 survival written all over it is not a game they can afford to bottle given all their wages are tied to it potentially.

    Utd win and we could snatch 4th from arsenal who knows!

    and yes arsenal can bottle a cup game and not bottle a big league game when their actual wage levels is at stake #contracts usually have no cl clauses.

    Weve had a few 90 minutes performances. Qpr, hull, newcastle and sunderland just gone (75 tbh). We actually battered all those sides.

    I would put us down to win all our home games. We probably wont but we have every chance to do so. Arsenal and City are the big tests.

    Our away form is an issue. We dont often lose but we are likely to draw more than we win based on previous results. Will 5 home wins and a load of away draws be enough? It depends who draw against. If we draw at anfield then its a good result. If we draw at sjp then it's a had result.

    Im confident Unitee will make it. Just.

    QPR was a full 90min display? sunderland????? the match reports say something else entirely sorry. i mean i can only go by thier "unbiased" bbc salford reporting and even they say you improved second half

    5 home wins from now til seasons end then.... spurs, arsenal and city...... ok.. fair enough.

    i would agree you are more ikely to draw as i said you've ground them out.

    5 home wins plus 5 draws = 20 points yes.
