I can see us having our difficult period at some point too.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
He's identifying the problems correctly. For example, dying he would coach Rashford on his finishing, etc. If we continue to be attack minded, I don't see why we can't challenge for 4th. At the moment, our attack is more potent than Chelsea and our defense is better than Arsenal's.
Wasn't that August to 18 December?
But yes, agree - whether it is achieved is a very different matter to whether it is achievable.
His first 10 days have been outstanding in every aspect. The Spurs match will be the acid test, win that (or draw with a very good performance) and this place will become full on muppetry!
Arsenal are shit, always have been.
We have gained
5 points and a GD of swing of +11 on Arsenal
3 points and a GD swing of +8 on Chelsea
in the last 3 games..
Arsenal are very much in our sights now.. We need Chelsea to have a mini wobble at some point.

Must win against Newcastle. Said it before there was hope if we managed to get 12 points from the four first games under OGS.
100% agree. They are shit.
We will finish above them. It’s Chelsea who I have my sights on.
Under Mourinho this was gone but if we can keep going under Ole and Chelsea drop a bit we could be in.
I hope we aren't regretting not sacking Jose a bit earlier. It's still a big task and we could just come up short despite doing very well.

Chelsea will give us chances to catch them, its upto us to take them. Big games will be absolutely key for us .
It's still an enormous ask. Not because I don't think we can go on a winning run but there's just so much crap in the league that Chelsea may win enough to keep us away. It really was complete and utter stupidity waiting to pull the trigger for so long, it's our own fault. But it is what it is so let's see what we can do, they have Arsenal away and City away in the next 6 weeks so hopefully we can make our move.
Shame Chelsea are getting lucky as feck.
If we go into Spurs game with still 8 points gap, gonna be pretty hard to make it.

We have to win the spurs game, otherwise little to no chance .That's real test for this lot. If wolves can win there we have enough quality to win as well.
Well now, Chelsea dropping points sure does make things interesting, eh?
Very much so.
Everyone digging out Arsenal yet Chelsea aren't anything special and have many difficult away games still to negotiate.
Arsenal
Man. United
Liverpool
Man. City
Leicester
Everton
Will be dropping points at a few of those venues.

Well feck a duck, just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.
I know we can't afford to drop (m)any points but Chelsea drawing tonight unexpectedly gives us more leeway against Spurs. A point away to them isn't a bad one with Chelsea having difficult fixtures in January too.
Did you see that little bugger giving the finger to the fans below when he was walking out? 
Edit: somehow posted this in the wrong thread. Anyhow, funny shite if you're watching the match.

How this ends is all dependent on Chelsea's dealings in January, I reckon. If they manage to bring in one or two talented forwards, I reckon it's theirs to lose... But if they don't? It could be anyone.
Can still get at that defence if the CBs are exposed one v one.
One game at a time but 7 points is doable considering we've still a lot of games left.
How many points off were we when Jose got the boot?
11
Chelsea have 7 points from 12, you have 12 from 12.
So 5 points plus the current gap of 6. 11 points, I guess.
Hmm. Didn't think we had a chance. Great work by Ole so far.
Our GD after 17 games was 0.
GD after 4 games is +11...
What the feck was jose doing?

We have to play Spurs next. Let's see what the table looks like after the next round of games and then we will know whether to hope or not.
Don’t do it to yourselves people. Let’s put a pin in it until mid February
They signed Pulisic but he'll be staying at Dortmund until the end of the season. So they probably won't be getting anyone else who plays in that position.
Great result at both St James’ Park & Stamford Bridge tonight.
Definitely not out of it.
Definitely not out of it.
And then they play Thursday and Sunday in Europa league.
After 17 games we were on course for 58 points this season , 4 games later our average has gone up to 1.8 and we are on course for 68 . What a disaster those 17 games were .
He would have probably brought on fellani tonight to kill it 1-0.
The week after they play Arsenal away whereas we have Brighton at home. Plenty still to play for and, as Patrick says, Europa League definitely is something to factor in.
It's almost like he was self sabotaging.
They're still linked with the likes of Higuain & Arnoutavic (I can't spell). Pulisic is more of a Hazard replacement should he decide to leave - They still need a LOT more than that.
I'll be flabbergasted if they don't sign a CF this window.
We'll beat Spurs. Newcastle with keep Chelsea out... West Ham will beat Arsenal.
It's so ON.
It's so ON.
