Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea が 投稿

Team Games Played Points
2. Tottenham 32 62
3. Arsenal 31 58
4. Man City 31 54
5. Man Utd 31 53
6. West Ham 31 51

Today's win brought us no closer to 4th, however with it being arguably a tougher game than those around us had, and with 2 points gained on Spurs (and West Ham) who could yet get dragged back into this, it's surely been a good weekend.

Remaining Fixtures:

Tottenham

Man Utd (h), Stoke (a), West Brom (h), Chelsea (a), Southampton (h), Newcastle (a)

1 Top 4 clash, 1 relegation dogfight, 4 midtable teams.

No extra EL or FA cup games

Arsenal

West Ham (a), Crystal Palace (a), West Brom (h), Sunderland (a), Norwich (h), City (a), Villa (h)

2 top 4 clashes, 2 relegation dogfighters, 2 midtables and a relegated Villa.

No extra CL or FA cup games

Man City

West Brom (h), Chelsea (a), Newcastle (a), Stoke (h), Southampton (a), Arsenal (h), Swansea (a)

1 top 4 clash, 1 relegation dogfight, 5 midtables.

Minimum 2 CL games (PSG)

West Ham

Arsenal (h), Leicester (a), Watford (h), West Brom (a), Swansea (h), Man Utd (h), Stoke (a)

2 Top 4 clashes, 1 game against title contenders, 1 relegation dogfight, 3 midtable teams

FA Cup replay v Manchester United plus possible FA Cup Semi Final

Manchester United

Spurs (a), Villa (h), Palace (h), Leicester (h), Norwich (a), West Ham (a), Bournemouth (h)

1 top 4 clash, 2 title contenders, 2 relegation dogfights, Villa, 1 midtable team

Minimum 1 FA Cup game.

If we beat spurs and win our game in hand, we would be 3 points behind them with 5 games to play.

What do people make of our chances for top 4?

Beat Spurs next week....win our game in hand and we're 3 points behind them.

Spurs finish is cuntish.

[–]Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea[S] 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

True but they've been blessed with injuries and always look like they've a goal in them

[–]CveinMemphis & Martial 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

If our defence play as well as we did today, I think we can beat them 1-0. But our away record hasn't been that good lately.

[–]ReflectingGodMata 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

I don't think its that simple. Today we beat a very poor defensive side. They were also very poor going forward today and didn't really look like scoring at any point. We beat them by 1 goal with our only shot on target. Spurs have statistically the best attack and defense in the league and are 10 places ahead of Everton and 9 points ahead of us with good reason.

Win, lose or draw, I'd be very surprised if Spurs don't score against us and after today's performance which wasn't anything special, I also wouldn't be surprised if we failed to put one past them. Everton saw a lot of possession today, Spurs will play us out of the park and we won't have nearly as much space to work in as we did today.

I'm hopeful we can get a draw which would be a decent result as long as we do well in the easier matches but I don't expect we'll win, Spurs have far more at stake than we do.

Not gonna lie, I want us to take points off them more for the title implications than for our own good. A mixture of LVG sucking the passion out of the games for me, and the fact Leicester winning is a once in a lifetime thing to see and we have 2 games against both challengers that can make all the difference.

I'd be happy with a draw to Spurs though. Scoreless or otherwise. Knowing us though we'd win that game then lose to Palace after beating Villa by the incredible scoreline of 3-1.

I think it's between us and City, and City have a much nicer run in and KDB back.

[–]DANNYWELBECK12345De Gea 7ポイント8ポイント  (6子コメント)

I think our run in is much better

[–]MrD3athRyan Fucking Giggs 3ポイント4ポイント  (5子コメント)

Spurs, Lei, and West Ham vs. Chelsea, and Arsenal.

How is our run in MUCH better, if better at all?

[–]Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea[S] 11ポイント12ポイント  (2子コメント)

Perhaps because we play better against better teams?

[–]MrD3athRyan Fucking Giggs 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Huh, you're actually right. Never thought of that

[–]sidchat_04 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

True that!

[–]Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

No chance of an Arsenal or Spurs collapse?

[–]Flameboy42Made the Scousers Cry 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

Always a chance of an Arsenal collapse.

[–]BobTheBanterBlind 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Think an arsenal colapse is always possible lol

[–]danskzwag 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Never when there is no pressure Arsenal always perform, they nearly always have a strong season.

[–]nandoschickenwings93 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

On a serious note, I think we're contenders, but spurs worry me I can't help but think they'll either win or it will be a draw

[–]azogthorinThere's only one Darren Fletcher 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Draw wouldn't be a bad result against Spurs, get a point there and we can really push on in our next matches.

[–]the_special_juanMata 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Spurs AND away worry me. They're in excellent form right now and always seem to score. Not to mention our away form is atrocious.

[–]nandoschickenwings93 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

ITS COMING HOME LADS

[–]cheesehead99Martial 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

We are only 1 point behind again. It only takes Man City to mess up for us to sneak in to 4th.

[–]ajemikRooney 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

From the looks of it, the most important games will be played on the one before last round. City against Arsenal, and us against Hammers. I really hope that we can be up front before this match, because let's face it - either Arsenal will bottle this up for us (thanks to us beating them before, bastards), or we draw against WHU, again.

[–]Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

2 good results against spurs and west ham, then we would have 3 tasty home games. Huge few weeks ahead.

[–]Dave1711Januzaj 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Kdb being back is a pain I feel like he'll drag them across the line.

If we somehow get a result against Spurs we have a pretty nice run in though!

But beating City and Everton is huge in itself I thought having big games would do us good and it's going that way so far.

[–]goodguy1994it's Rooneyyy, it's inevitable. some things are meant to be 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's never the big games that worry me.

[–]dhillonaireDarmian 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

So its unanimous that Leicester are taking it home this season.

[–]Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

The collapse would surely have had to start by now.

[–]dhillonaireDarmian -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

I mean they can't keep it up whole year. Wait when they are hit by injuries.

[–]Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Time running out. And they have had the fixture run to be resting during the week all year, it's why they've been so fresh every game

[–]DangoManUtdMartial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Can Spurs still spurs it up?
