I've been consistent in saying if we fail to make CL qualification, especially from the gifted position we landed ourselves in, his position should be questioned. Not if we dropped points to West Ham, but if we dropped points to West Ham and it ended up costing us 3rd or 4th. It's crazy that you think having a go at fans on a rival forum is going to go down well for you.
Top 4 Race 19/20 | duffer: "We [Chelsea] are getting 3rd. Despite what the lunatics in here think, Man United are not all that."
- Thread starter Andy_Cole
- Start date
Come on man. Were you under the rock in 17/18? There were 5 PL teams in CL in that season. It was the season when everyone were making fun of Arsenal for being the only top 6 didn't make CL.
There not a small team but you already know that. As far as Chelsea fans coming on here and appearing to be gloating or pushing their team’s reputation upward, I can see where they’re coming from. They have hit form and have Werner and Pulisic both in their prime starting next season. They play attractive football and have one of their legends as a coach. They have to be thinking top three at least.
I am so sorry, my master. How dare I, a lowly rival from the House of Chav, question your sincerity. When you said that he should be sacked if you drop points at West Ham, what I should have done is imagined you had added the caveat about top 4. I'm sorry for having misinterpreted you and next time I'll try not to take you at your word.
Poch? No thank you.
Go back another season (2015/16) and you will see Man City finished 4th on 66 points ahead of United on GD. This was far from a vintage Premier league but the 3rd and 4th best teams in this season finished where they deserved to be.
I think it’s all major leagues now.
Couldn't have put it better myself.
Who is butthat?
He does have a point, though.
Yeah - have to say, as a United fan this is a bit of a daft thread. We have both qualified so there is not much point in arguing and both teams need improvement.
Technically our first 11- on paper has more potential but you can’t underestimate Lampards achievement despite selling his best player (hazard - remember) and getting so much out of his players. Ole deserves credit for getting us over the line - albeit by the skin of our teeth but there are question marks over tactics , selecting value for money transfers and in game management - plus do we get the best out of our players? I hope these questions will be answered to the benefit of Man Utd!

Me, I’ve normally got my head up my arse.
This is why I hoped for us to finish above them. They can be insufferable.
Are Chelsea the most delusional fan base in the league? Getting there. Talk as though they’re some kind of footballing juggernaut when they’ve got as many league titles as Sunderland. Now they’ve finished below us in the league they can talk to us about as much as Sunderland can.
Maybe he does, but he's still one of the most insufferable opposition fans I've seen on here and there's been a hell of a lot.
Maybe the football forum just isn't for you then. If you don't want to hear what opposition fans have to say about their club, other clubs and your club then 'jog on' back to your safe space in the United forum.
To be fair, other teams forums don’t really like United fans too...
Congrats United fans
For? We just qualified for the CL, even our own staff didn’t celebrate it that much. It’s job done and onto next season for us, don’t put us in the same bucket as Chelsea.
And you are what? Footballing royalty? There are already a couple of examples of how the mighty have fallen, keep living in the past. You were lucky, saved by VAR. Otherwise, it would have been the 4th time you finished outside top4 in the past 5 years. I guess we will see next season how deserving of top 4 is Utd compared to Chelsea. We will see who is getting there and who is not.
Manchester is footballing royalty
Just take the congrats man
Im pretty sure the team celebrated and everyone involved in the club is over the moon to be back in the Champion League. Our form after the shutdown has been great, getting top 4 was a real achievement given how far behind we were. Obviously we weren’t going to do an Arsenal in terms of celebrations, but let’s not try to sour the achievement.
Now to go try and win the Europa and get us a better seeding in the CL and get a trophy winning mentality into the team.
Hahahaha wow, you may not even be better than Chelsea so take it one step at a time.
Hahahaha
Then so is Liverpool who had to wait 30 years for a league title, so is AC Milan who is still in the shadows. That adds no value to the discussion. I mentioned it because Offside was on a high horse, comparing us to Sunderland. Unreasonable ridicule has to be called out.
You’re closer to Sunderland than us in terms of history. You’re lower than Leeds and Forest too, and would be nowhere near them without Eastern European funding. It’s not unreasonable ridicule.
I don't understand why some Chelsea fans all of a sudden here are acting all arrogant. Even Micah richards admitted it was a clear penalty. We did a double.over you lot and yet we don't deserve but Chelsea having conceded 54 goals deserve more than United.
Truth is point table don't lie and we both deserve to be in top 4.
I want nothing more than Lampard getting tactically outclassed by the Water carrier now, with Caballero making mistakes so they have two shite GKs.
Sorry, what?
If we win the Europa league, does that mean Leicester will gain entry to play CL next season? Since we may also get qualification through Europa, that would leave an extra place for league? Or not?
This place seem inundated by newbie (American) Chelsea fans. I blame Pulisic.
You could also just look at the season that was finished today and see who finished third and who finished fourth
Yeah I’m all for the likes of duffer who is a really good poster: but I thought we had a newbie system specifically to stop some of the shite we’re seeing.
Nope, it would still only be the top 4 that qualify. The only way a 5th team will join is if Wolves win the Europa League.
There was a freak scenario where we could have finished 4th and still not qualified for champions league. It would have needed Chelsea to finish 5th and win the champions league and also Wolves to win the Europa league. That would have been them two and the top 3 in the champions league as you can't have more than 5 teams from one country in the UCL.
But we ACTUALLY made it into the top three. Today. This “next year is our year” shit is particularly stupid when throwing it at the team who just did what you’re saying you’ll do.
They would probably probably feel the same way about us. I don't think either Lampard or Ole and their teams has shown immense potential. Both could kick in to bigger things but also easily end up in failing.
Where the feck are all these chelsea fans coming from? Never seen those usernames before today and posting some absolute biles
