Of course you are, you'll get 4th I have little doubt. Liverpool will be the ones to make way I feel as they have come up short against the big boys and look as though they could lose a couple in a row.

5 points off top 4. We'll make that. The title won't happen, but I doubt any of us realistically thought we stood a chance anyway even if we won this game.
Why do people think we'll make top 4? We've been playing absolutely awful football and every point we pick up seems lucky.
Look at the Storey table to see how far back we are in relative terms.

We've lost against City, Spurs, Liverpool and Everton.
Safe to say we do also.
Only title-winning form from now until the end of the season would see us steal a top four place and given the quality we possess, I just don't see that happening. A signing of Ozil proportions that injects massive quality into the first team, but also galvanizes the squad as a whole is what is needed, but that's not gonna fecking happen.
United have come up shorter, and we have no problems dispatching the smaller teams.
Salah, Tello and an English kid is coming from what I know.
Thinking about it I guess there is the problem for United that they have a lot of the very tough games still to come whilst Liverpools are at home, but then United seem better on their travels.
Christ that's some list, especially when January is apparently a difficult window to make signings
Obviously not all will happen. I'd expect three new additions though, potentially 4.Christ that's some list, especially when January is apparently a difficult window to make signings
I'd expect? feck off.
We scarcely look capable of beating the "big boys" either. Liverpool have an advantage in that they have enough goals in the side to beat the cannon fodder whereas we struggle. For example even taking today's defeat we'd be in a completely different position if we had beaten Cardiff, Southampton and West Brom.
I think we'll finish 5th and only because Everton don't have the required depth and will taper off.
That's what I expect will happen, didn't mean to make it sound like they were demands.
That would be the worst case scenario imo. You really want to avoid the EL. Finish 7th rather than 5th. Although that may be redundant if you win a cup.
Indeed, I'm just laughing at the oft-repeated excuses about January being a difficult month for transfers which are aired when United are concerned, while Liverpool seemingly have little trouble bringing in Salah and others seem to be in the works
A FEW? I think you're quite optimistic. I'll be surprised with one, which I believe could be a left back. I'll be stunned with two.
We can certainly make the top 4, but something has to change in order for that to happen. 20 games in, and we simply don't deserve to be there.
We've also brought in Coutinho, Sturridge and Suarez during January windows. If anything we need to do ALL our business in January to save us from the rubbish we buy in summer.Indeed, I'm just laughing at the oft-repeated excuses about January being a difficult month for transfers which are aired when United are concerned, while Liverpool seemingly have little trouble bringing in Salah and others seem to be in the works
Erm. Lolz
This reminds me a little bit of the self-imposed pressure Arsenal players put on themselves a few years back. They'll never win a quadruple.
Ok then, Vincent.
