Yes. If you say no then you've obviously never placed a bet on United
We spent that much. That should be the expectationWhaaat
You rated our squad that high? Or you did believe in Ole that much?
I still remember most of the caf rated our squad from 5th - 8th (me 6th) at the start of the season. And most had some doubt in Ole, including me.
Thank you!Nice.
As for the OP, I really think we SHOULD get 3rd and expect it. But the real difference between 3rd and 4th is minimal. We still have the EL to complete.
Now, how many expected this question at the beginning of the season? Or how about in January?
Absolutely yes I'd take fourth now, but I'd love third for the psychological factor and bragging rights
Absolutely, I'm petty as feck. It makes ArsenalFanTV and José's interviews way better
Scenario 2, easily for me!Well this question has become a no-brainer. Let me pose another one since we have this thread.
What will you guys take out of the two scenarios?
Scenario 1: We finish 3rd and Chelsea finish 4th
Scenario 2: We finish 4th and Chelsea finish 5th
Objectively, there's nothing separating the three clubs after the two leading clubs, irrespective of the results of the season's last day. All three clubs have been unlucky with injuries at various stages - Leicester are probably the worst hit at the most crucial part of the season.....And 3rd would feel like an excellent season under the circumstances....
Doesn't matter. What's the big deal about Chelsea finishing top 4 or not ? They already made 2 very good attacking signings and will probably go on and do some other good business as well, if you think qualifying to CL is going to hamper them.Well this question has become a no-brainer.

I thought 3rd but it wasn't that I rated us that highly. It was more I didn't think anyone else was particularly good apart from maybe Leicester. I also think this is exactly what's happened except that Chelsea started well and Leicester were on fire for a couple of months.Whaaat

Fairly successful? No. But progress from last season? Yes and Im looking forward to being successful next season.Is there anyone who wouldn't consider this season fairly successful with:
2 semi-finals in the domestic cups
3rd or 4th Place in the League
Worst case scenario : a semi-final in the Europa League ? ( i just cant see us losing the quarter final)

If we had Bruno from the start we'd be comfortably 3rd. If we'd avoided injuries to Martial and Rashford we'd be comfortably 3rd. Even if it hadn't taken us a month to figure out how to score a penalty we'd be comfortably 3rd.
I'm not sure I'd trust anything as a reliable indicator that says Newcastle are better than us.
6th was about right. Leicester are the closest team to the top six and we were better than them last year. Arguably about level with Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal but when we were bad we were worse than any of those. It's going to be skewed considering how awful some of our performances under Jose were.
I'm rooting for you.Like €3200 profit. Thats alot for me
But we have to win the game.
We're playing in Europe next season no matter the result on Sunday.The only people who are going to care between the 3rd and 4th positions are those somehow using it as an agenda in a debate / argument to support the manager. The context overall doesn't matter as long as we are playing in Europe next season it's the main accomplishment and Ole will deserve the credit for getting us over the line irrespective of how poor opposition has been etc.
How are you confident Leicester are going to beat us? The fact that they are at home? That doesn't matter anymore.Of course I'd take 4th. I'd bite your hands off for it.
Right now the only way I can see us finishing fourth is if Wolves beat Chelsea, and that's a big if.
What was your bet? For us to finish top 3? I don't know if we're going to win - I have us drawing that game.Like €3200 profit. Thats alot for me
But we have to win the game.
