Are we supposed to celebrate that?
Yes. Give our start it’s a great achievement. Took us until 37th game last season so indicative of the massive progress Ole and the squad continue to make

Given our performances and results, fourth is great right now. It's still early days, but it goes to show what a few consecutive wins can do. If we can find some consistency, we can be in the mix this season. The issue is the inconsistency: never knowing what might happen. It's such a rollercoaster.

But but but

Arteta coaches Arsenal better than Ole does United

But we’ll never finish in the top 4.

But Ole is a PE teacher

Are you asking for for direction in your life on RedCafe? It is your choice. I’m happy with us being in contention
No I am just curious. We were laughing at Arsenal when they celebrated finishing 4th and now we have these threads called "We are 4th", as if it is some sort of achievement worth celebrating for after 10 games.

Ffs. We’re now making threads for being 4th after 12 games. @mods.. sort it out before non United fans spot it.

We are 4th after 10 games, 2 points behind Spurs and Liverpool.

P.S. Moaners OUT
The Glazers will be delighted if that's where we finish, no matter how ugly the road. Literally their entire business model.

Typical whiner. Who is celebrating? Compared to the way we began the season, the fact that we are merely 2 points off the top is something deserving of a thread.

Having watched us this season it goes to show the state the others are in given we are 2 points off the top. Shocked we are even somehow in top 4 currently given how poor we have been.

2 points from first and the press want us to feel like we are relegation fodder.

I have never seen a time where the reality and the narrative pushed are so far apart from each other.

We've been piss poor and you're celebrating after that? Good Man United supporter mentality.
If we get top4 I guess you'll see it as another OK season.

And some people actually still believe standards really didn't drop. Creator of threads like this would've been slaughtered when Van Gaal or Mourinho was here.

Don't think the OP is intending for anybody to celebrate the fact were fourth, I at least hope it brings a bit of perspective to some of the rancid moaners on the forum.

Yeah we aren't playing great but if we can maintain a high position after Christmas and then hit a bit of the really good form we are capable of (and Ole has done this plenty of times) then who knows.

Would be nice to just have a fanbase that seems like it's behind the team instead of begging for us to fail. It's bizarre and far more embarrassing than this thread to be honest.

The standards really have went through the floor when you see how excited some people get over us being 4th after 10 games. And when you don't celebrate it you're patronised and called spoiled and entitled. :lol: We used to laugh at Arsenal and (pre-Klopp) Liverpool but that's what we're becoming.

It's quite obvious isn't it. The fact that this thread even exists says it all. With SAF or Jose this nonsense wouldn't be tolerable but with Ole apparently being 4th after 10 games is some sort of achievement. Standards have fallen off the cliff.

Moaners update.

Check the thread, see the fact, get offended, start to accuse people for being something bad in your head. Do you take a minute to read your posts and how negative they tend to be?

We are 4th. It is a fact.

Most clubs are hurting and we should sign three quality players this winter break. Would do us wonders.

I would guess inconsistency would be down to the manager but these guys look exhausted. Bad sign is after a goal they don’t even seem to want to celebrate as a team so much.
