He needs a new challenge. Fax Mike Ashley what you want from sportsdirect, we will sort you out with nice products in exchange of Lewandowski....

My entire team are basically preparing themselves for the Summer holidays. I am not impressed. Double training sessions next week, fecking livid.

It must have been Michu's hat.

Manchester United - 58 (+34)
Bolton Wanderers - 56 (+22)
Arsenal - 55 (+26)
Manchester City - 55 (+21)

Chelsea - 54 (+36)
Nottingham Forest - 51 (+20)

Delighted. When I lose against QPR on Thursday, worst position I should be in the league is second.

Worst case for me is a flip flop with Chelsea, but the points gap will open up a bit too much I fear.

Based on league position on form, my run in looks ok on paper. I have a chance to get a few wins on board. I'd expect a loss against Villa possibly, and Bolton are getting results too so that is 50/50. Other 5 games I should get something out of each by right. 15 points from 24 would be a great finish, and judging by previous seasons a finish like that would get me close to a top 4 finish.

Derby.
In good form, beat Everton 2-0.

Unfortunately my remaining fixtures will mean I won't finish anywhere of note :(

After Chelsea, your remaining games aren't so bad.

You've got good fixtures left. I don't think you'll get top four due to goal difference, but top 7 should be doable.

Beat Excal 1-0 :)
Congrats.

Those fixtures are nasty. There's only really Portsmouth you'd expect to get 3 points from... rest could go either way.

Ya I know. 15 points would only get me close to 4th anyway and I'd need results to go my way too. I'm not concerned with it anyway, I just want a comfortable top 10 finish. I'm 3 points off my best season (last season), so a strong finish here and I'd be ecstatic!

United lineup to face Chelsea
Starting XI
Subs

I'm not optimistic as my cup record is poor, while Andy's is great, but if I can get anything - an away goal or whatever - it would be nice.

:lol: Just as I posted that, the result came in:



Crazy game. So fingers crossed even a draw will be enough to send me through in second leg.

Unfortunately Lars Bender is suspended for the second leg which is quite a loss.

Next up: Liverpool in the Shield final :nervous:

Yes! Won 2-0. I'll most likely lose Thursday's game but couldn't be more delighted with how my last three games have gone. Got £1.75M in prize money too.

Good game Barney, you've done great in the cup competitions this season.

Drew 2-2 (came back from 2-0 down to draw late on :lol:). Very happy with that considering the players I was missing. Four points from the last two league games is a very good return.

Unfortunately Carrick is now out for a bit...
