So much doom and gloom We play Spurs and you at Old Trafford. By January 1st, i'm sure United will be back in the mix. We've barely passed a third of the season, a lot is still waiting to happen.
It's actually not a joke - have you seen us play?So much doom and gloom We play Spurs and you at Old Trafford. By January 1st, i'm sure United will be back in the mix. We've barely passed a third of the season, a lot is still waiting to happen.
Over the last five seasons the points total of the 4th placed team has been:So much doom and gloom We play Spurs and you at Old Trafford. By January 1st, i'm sure United will be back in the mix. We've barely passed a third of the season, a lot is still waiting to happen.
It's sad but oh so true. Watching Spurs demolish Chelsea after our Crystal Palace game was night and day.It's actually not a joke - have you seen us play?
15 points from your next 6 games.
We're not getting into the top 4. It doesn't matter how long is left. We can barely win 3 games in a row .So much doom and gloom We play Spurs and you at Old Trafford.

Maybe, maybe not. I still think fourth place batlle is a long way from being decided. Assuming City/Liverpool and Spurs (once they're out of the Champions League) are nailed on for the top 3, Chelsea will go far in the EL, teams are starting to figure out Jorginho by double teaming and roughing him up. I would not be surprised to see Sarri put Kante back to his original position at some point. And Arsenal well, we've been riding our luck, hard. It's bound to end and this could come very soon. We play United, Spurs twice and Liverpool in December. Add to that the Boxing Day schedule and some players are starting to get knocks here and there. The signs are there and i won't be at ease until we've played Chelsea mid January.We're not getting into the top 4. It doesn't matter how long is left. We can barely win 3 games in a row .
Btw, what's the source of this graph (as in, who put it together)? I googled a bit but couldn't find it.
Sounds about right. I really thought United would finish 2nd this season, 3rd at worse, but I never would've imagined this sort of situation, despite the whole "Jose Third Season" stuff. It's gone catastrophically bad.The United fans are obviously right. You only have to have watched the big six to see that there’s a huge gulf between United and the other five at present.
Without a complete turnaround in form, United have minimal prospects of finishing in the top four. They just don’t appear to have the ability to score regularly enough to win enough games. And it’s not as if they’re not taking chances, I’ve seen a few games where they don’t really seem to create anything.
The current top four looks most likely. Arsenal have a decent chance but we need to improve our defensive performances materially. Form has slowed down over the last month, that will bite us if it continues into December.
I did. /wavesBtw, what's the source of this graph (as in, who put it together)? I googled a bit but couldn't find it.
Ah, nice work! Planning on updating with the latest scores?I did. /waves
I update every few games yeah. Will do it next weekend.Ah, nice work! Planning on updating with the latest scores?
crystal clearCan we expand it for top 7? Pretty clear we are fighting for 6/7 this season. 5 would be extraordinary and 4th would be Leicester winning the league odds
We are due to play Arsenal on 9th March and City on the 16th so I imagine shortly after those two games.We're not getting top four. I wonder when it will become mathematically impossible? I can't wait because I can't stand much more of Jose.
Too long for me. Going to be torture.We are due to play Arsenal on 9th March and City on the 16th so I imagine shortly after those two games.
10 points by virtue of goal difference, really.Chelsea are very likely to beat Fulham at home tomorrow, so United will very likely be at least 8 points off top 4 come Sunday evening regardless of the result in Arsenal vs. Spurs.
If Spurs win or draw, then United will - assuming Chelsea win - be 9 points off top 4 (with Chelsea in 4th).
True.10 points by virtue of goal difference, really.
Which right now is effectively 10 points given our goal difference. All the top clubs are being so clinical against the smaller clubs that it's going to be very difficult for us to catch anyone up. For one, it would take an immediate turn around in our fortunes and go on a run of wins. Then we'd have to rely on two clubs dropping their form considerably.Chelsea are very likely to beat Fulham at home tomorrow, so United will very likely be at least 8 points off top 4 come Sunday evening regardless of the result in Arsenal vs. Spurs.

They've dropped 2 points. A win would have given them 3 points, but they drew and got 1 point.City: Dropped 1 point
Wolverhampton Wanderers 1:1 Manchester City
Correct, got the maths right on the others just a typo on the City one. My bad.They've dropped 2 points. A win would have given them 3 points, but they drew and got 1 point.
