Just looking at the table, 10 points off of 4th and 6 points from 5th. I don't think we will take the next 18 points and Arsenal will drop 10, not going to happen. But I certainly think 5th is possible. Especially if we beat Everton in two weeks time. 5th place, a CL quarter final, League Cup Semi and Community Shield - would it be that bad? I don't think Moyes would go if that's how it ended. He will get the summer and then next season to see if he can get it all going right. The tactics for the Bayern game will tell us a lot.

You would do well to keep 7th spot and avoid europa league.

nothing but bad form for the teams involved in that competition.

playing thursday and sundays has hurt those teams.

for everton it will be a step up, but for united a step down and possibly hurt chances of top 4 next year.

I think regardless of where we finish and who we sign we won't be challenging next year. We'll most likely make 4th, but I believe it'll be 2 or 3 years until we 're contention to win the EPL again.

And honestly, I'm okay with that. I've had over 20 years of success and I've loved every minute of it. If it means we take some 'down time' in order to return and dominate for another 20 yeas then i'm all for it.

Fresh, It's been a disaster. Oh and finishing 6th would get us Europa, if that's what we really want.

I think it would be good to bed some younger players into the Europa League and we should try to win it. There are aome good teams in it.

I'd rather lose the rest of our league games and not qualify for the Europa, will be a huge mistake for us to be in it next season, unless we use fringe/younger players only instead of sending them out on loan early in the season, could be good experience for them but not the first 11.

Oh I'm not denying it's been a disaster. But a strong finish would help to lighten the mood. I don't think a run in the Europa League would be too detrimental, lots of younger lads need to learn their trade in Europe.

Win as many as we can, what sort of tactic for future success to lose matches.
If we are in Europa good, we can play fringe players and our up & coming young future 1st teamers, win win for our club as an whole with regards future success in Europe. so less of the negative tactics play to win nothing less is acceptable

Whats the difference between Swansea Wigan and Totenham lack of squad depth Totenham are obiously the strongest of them and it has showed we have a team to play in the Europa League Keane and players like them then Wilson Pearson Rotwell and younger players could really make a name for themselves in the League cup and Fa cup and Europa league

Are we allowed to field an under strength team though or would Uefa hit us with disciplinary action? I can't see them allowing us to play a load of youngsters, that would be my main concern.


10.) 31 Mar 2014
Everton have a game in hand and are playing well enough to look up not down, Spurs are playing worse than us atm. 6th at best for me.

I doubt Uefa will agree Byton.

The Moon,

You are literally the first and only United fan I have seen state that opinion in real life or on any interweb platform.

A really good point and even though I hadn't realised until I saw it, that's exactly how I would hope I would feel if my club was going through the same thing.

Mad props.

The thing is under present command I don't see us dominating again. There is no winning CV at the top and we may compete with Arsenal for the 4th place trophy for some time. That wouldn't be acceptable at the other great clubs and should not be to us. Accept it and we become Arsenal.
