We won't get top 4 this season, there are far better organised teams around us, teams with a game plan and style of play. Any half decent organised team will take points off us this season.
Bye bye top 4

Okay then. Pack it up lads, lets prepare for next season.
We'll finish 2nd.
Rubbish. Just look at Spurs' fixtures in the next few weeks and you'll see how premature threads like this are. European football changes everything.
It is going to the wire
Our rivals dropped points too
But 3 wins in our last 8 is a tad concerning

Kneejerk.
No way we have every chance.
We're 4th.
The only team who gained ground on us was Southampton and Spurs, we are further ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool didn't cut the gap. We're fine.
That is, we're fine as long as Van Gaal realizes that Falcao is shite and shouldn't be starting. Play players in the right positions and we'll be okay.

What an apt tagline.
Relax...
We are still in good position.
fecking muppet
Too early, but you are probably right... can't wait for our first pre-season game tbh, defending our trophy and all
Ok, end our season. Get LVG out cause Devil forever says bye bye 4th.
It's still more than possible but we really need to buck our ideas up what with the fixtures we have coming up.
Err no.
No, we've played badly all season and have been outright lucky or have De Gea to thank for a fair few points. Of course I want to be proven wrong but just take a look at sides like Spurs, heck even Southampton and watch them play. We have the players and that's about it, no real system, identity or useful plan.
You're hilarious. Thanks for the input.
I'd certainly not put money on it. We're lucky to be where we are, and at the moment I see us finishing sixth. Unfortunately I don't feel like we are able to improve, we've played the same way all season.
Our recent form hasn't been what it should be but neither has the form of our rivals luckily. Only Tottenham seem to be some consistently good football around us. The main thing is that we start to play well coming into the run in. We have got almost all our players back from injury so finding our best 11 and formation is now the challenge we face. We have the players to get the top 4 and we have the experience to handle the situation as well.
Whilst I think your reaction is knee jerk, you make a very good point in that Spurs and Southampton look better than us. However, we haven't played well, yet have gotten results. It's whether we can continue playing poorly but picking up points.
I can see us finishing 10th.
Certainly aren't playing like a top four side. We look bottom half away from home.
You're the type of man I'd like to be on the front lines with.
shit thread. can see how you were ready to post this before the equalizer, then decided feck it ill start it anyway
April will be make or break, if we didn't make it I wouldn't be at all surprised.
Long way to go yet, as long as we're there or thereabouts coming into the last 5 games we've got a chance.
Please take your pessimism elsewhere, no one likes wallowing. We were bad but it isn't over yet.

How can a poster thats been here since 2007 make such a ridiculous post?

We do seem to be more on a slide rather than on the up. Hopefully we can turn it around fast
We'll finish 2nd.
Good Lord, I wish I had your confidence.Not sure how hopeful you'll be after scanning March and April's fixtures.
Playing players out of position won't help us get into the top 4. LVG is too stubborn 
Plus we need to sort out our away form, send Falcao packing, and put Rooney up front, Fellaini and Herrera in midfield and we're good to go.

Aye. That's the thing. If we don't have a cushion then all bets are off. There's no reason to assume we'll suddenly raise our game.
With Rooney as our midfielder, 4th place is like winning the league!! This nonsense need to stop. And Persie - Falcao doesn't work either.
Yes because equaliser or not doesn't change how we played for large parts of that game or this season.
Dunno why people laugh at him,this place is full of his kind.
