I’m glad it’s Chelsea we’re chasing they look really poor lately.
Come on, it's not that unlikely.If we win, which is pretty unlikely.
Spurs are heavy favourites and understandably so given their attack and how dodgy our defence has been even under Ole.Come on, it's not that unlikely.
Why?I think we should just focus on catching Arse first and then worry about Chelsea.
Yes but the way people are talking here you'd swear we have already passed them out (Arsenal) points wise.Why?
We are only 3 points behind Arsenal and there isn't any incentives by finishing 5th (instead of 6th) in the league.
Yeah, they're impotent in attack and have the dreaded Thursday / Sunday weeks coming up alongside a likely FA cup run if their easy draws continue.I’m glad it’s Chelsea we’re chasing they look really poor lately.
They'll likely buy a striker this month and fix that issue. If we lose tomorrow it's all over for me in terms of 4th. All about momentum and applying pressure for me.Yeah, they're impotent in attack and have the dreaded Thursday / Sunday weeks coming up alongside a likely FA cup run if their easy draws continue.
I have no idea why catching them has been written off by so many.
Why not? We're currently 9 points off with game in hand. Let's say we draw tomorrow that's 8 points .next week they play Arsenal let's say it's a draw and we win against Brighton . That's 6 points gap already - the most likeliest scenario. And still yet to play at OT.Just can't see us catching Chelsea. Arsenal are as irrelevant as always, but Chelsea are actually a pretty good team. We'd need title winning form to catch up to and then overtake them.
If we lose tomorrow we go again. There's still plenty more football to play and Chelsea are more than catchable no matter what the result is IMO.If we lose tomorrow it's all over for me
Did Morata fix it? Or Giroud?They'll likely buy a striker this month and fix that issue. If we lose tomorrow it's all over for me in terms of 4th. All about momentum and applying pressure for me.
Won't happen - Hazard's injury record is great.We have no margin for error. We need Chelsea to have an injury crisis.
Yes, but Ole could be given a little help by bringing in a top CB and maybe a winger this window. We have a great chance of getting into top 4 but we need a top CB to do this. IMO.I thought this was a really magical moment from Ole, in contrast to Mourinho's interview after Sevilla with his "I sit in this chair with Porto, Man United out, I sit in this chair with Real Madrid, Man United out" bollocks.
Both of them fully conscious of the past, but Ole's only thinking about the club and the standards it sets for itself, while Mourinho's only thinking himself and his stature in the game. Watching it back again that attitude from Mourinho really is uniquely self-centred.
But also Ole's perspective does feel unique. He's not thinking about his Manchester United or the players that are there now, it's just Manchester United, we came back against Arsenal in 2003, we can come back this time, it's nothing special.
Whatever happens I think we should appreciate how special it is to have someone with that affection for the club in that position.
Have you watched Man United this season? We look better than you!I’m glad it’s Chelsea we’re chasing they look really poor lately.
Not lately you don’t, even we’ve scored more goals than you and we’ve been shite up until a month ago.Have you watched Man United this season? We look better than you!
I can't disagree that you've looked better in your last 4 games. I guess we'll see today if your improved form is a real resurgence or you were just playing against a load of shite.Not lately you don’t, even we’ve scored more goals than you and we’ve been shite up until a month ago.
You started well but seem to be out of ideas whilst we have been terrible but finally seem to be getting it together. If you don’t get a striker we could catch you with a bit of luck.
Could argue that it's both. Under Jose, we'd have dropped a few points and played dull football.I can't disagree that you've looked better in your last 4 games. I guess we'll see today if your improved form is a real resurgence or you were just playing against a load of shite.
By law of averages though you'd imagine we'll be due a blip at some point, even if we don't regress to anywhere near what we were like under Mourinho.Not lately you don’t, even we’ve scored more goals than you and we’ve been shite up until a month ago.

Agreed. The hunt is on!Spurs are very much in this now.. They are just 1 point ahead of Chelsea.. If we think we can catch Chelsea, Spurs should be within range too..
Yes! And it only took a few weeks, now chelsea are next"We've caught up 8-9 points before" is a more Manchester United thing to say than "I've won the league 3 times with Chelsea."
God bless Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Especially if Kane is out for a while. If Son was still around they could probably deal with it, now I'm not so sureSpurs are very much in this now.. They are just 1 point ahead of Chelsea.. If we think we can catch Chelsea, Spurs should be within range too..
Only just came back to this thread, and this is the first post I read, from before Christmas.8 points in half a season is surmountable. Especially when one of teams is Arsenal.
I actually think leapfrogging Tottenham (10 points ahead) might be doable with a bit of luck.
It's the most wonderful thing. Every win feels like 1999 all over again.The way this has gone since Ole came in is absolutely unbelievable.
