Thank you Southampton!

Guess we're Arsenal fans next weekend.

As long as I can be part of the Wenger Out movement.

I'm in.

[–]wet4wet4sergioMartial 11ポイント12ポイント  (2子コメント)

Lol why though? I hope wenger gets a contract extension next year.Their style of play right now is even worse than December Man United.

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

Their style of play right now is even worse than December Man United.

they beat Norwich at home, so no our december form was much worse

[–]wet4wet4sergioMartial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I am not talking about form though,I am talking about their playing style.Lots and lots of aimless possession and a completely impotent attack.They are playing exactly like we did during the december january period.

[–]aman27deepvG 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I hope Arsene stays, as there's no way they can remain top 4 next season with a resurgent United and Chelsea.

[–]David-T99Fergie 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mane looked like Messi today. Hatrick. Nice

So now we need Arsenal or Swansea to beat city and we should win the remaining fixtures

[–]amishbr07 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Man I'd love Pep coming in to find no CL and a overpaid squad. But then again it wouldn't be all that fun if we miss out too.

[–]DyslexicGeniusHerrera 29ポイント30ポイント  (0子コメント)

West Ham away will prove the be the biggest challenge by far. I think City will drop points as they have been shite in the league as of late, but don't have much confidence in us winning the remaining three.

[–]ScotsmaniaSmaldini 18ポイント19ポイント  (3子コメント)

City keep giving us these chances but we never take them.

[–]KeKaRoNiJanuzaj 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Well we got unlucky today.

They've got Arsenal next week and we have Norwich, so we can gladly take one there.

[–]ValenciasLeftFootValencia 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

I don't really see it as being unlucky to be honest.

We seemed a different team out there in the second half and were lucky not to concede a penalty in the first half.

Leicester defended well but we didn't make any changes to try and break them down soon enough.

Memphis should have come on earlier and Rojo should've come off.

[–]BobTheBanterBlind 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Though I agree about the subs, we really did have unlucky calls from the ref

[–]JazzyScrewdriver 15ポイント16ポイント  (2子コメント)

There's a chance. This is unreal. West Ham is going to be tough no doubt. COYG

I said on another thread but I think WH may be easier than it seems. It's one of these occasions that often sees teams emotionally drained by the whole event and I can see them either not showing up at all or hitting a brick wall during the match due to being emotionally drained

[–]azogthorinThere's only one Darren Fletcher 17ポイント18ポイント  (7子コメント)

I know Fellaini's elbow was awful, but I hope he doesn't get banned. We're going to need him against those big brutes of West Ham.

[–]tim1901De Gea 3ポイント4ポイント  (5子コメント)

There is no chance he won't be banned.

[–]azogthorinThere's only one Darren Fletcher 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

Maybe just a 1 game ban then.

[–]tim1901De Gea 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Dele alli got three for something similar.

[–]azogthorinThere's only one Darren Fletcher 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well then I hope Rojo learns to mark at set-pieces.

[–]SonnyisKing 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

He will get a 3 game ban most probably, I doubt the FA will let him get away with the elbows this time, he's done it numerous times this season.

[–]wakey87433Mata 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

We don't know. He can only be banned of the ref makes no mention of it in his report. There is also the factor that he was provoked, if he is banned then Huth surely has to be but will they ban a player for a hear pull? If not it might save him

[–]kharma45Woodward 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I hope he does in a way, he's a thug and the worst bit is he thinks he's an angel who doesn't do anything wrong.

[–]SonnyisKing 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

More chance of Helen of Troy appearing before me than Arsene Wenger and his boys doing us a favour. Still a massive game, but remember this only matters if we win our 3 fixtures, so the West Ham game in 10 days is even bigger.

Man City are utter gash though, they have lost 10 games in the league which is disgraceful given the money they've spent. I hope Ronaldo absolutely mauls them.

[–]Creamy_Goodne55 18ポイント19ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't see us winning three games

Next week is a game you don't want to play, a team fighting for relegation.

The West Ham game is their last game at their ground and they are currently on a record unbeaten run in the premier league. Add the fact they will still be in the running for top 4 if they win their 3 games and we beat them in the fa cup I just can't see us getting anything

Last game should be a win if it matters otherwise it has 0-0 draw written all over it

Honestly I wouldn't be surprise if we don't win another game

[–]TyperSniper 3ポイント4ポイント  (4子コメント)

We need an an Arsenal win hopefully and win our remaining 3 and it's ours.

[–]erxorvan Nistelrooy 7ポイント8ポイント  (3子コメント)

If we win our remaining 3 fixtures, a draw from Arsenal against City would suffice.

[–]Worst_smurf_NAFergie's hairdryer 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

I feel like a crack addict; every time we're about to finally give up the chase for the top 4, something draws us back in.

[–]Remy_LaCroix_ 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

pep going to city and them dropping out of champions league spots would be something of dreams

[–]DaveShadow 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

For now, sure. But letting Pep have a clean run at the league next season with no European pressure on him could help him a lot.

[–]FilipinooFlash 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

They'll still have Europa games

[–]azt95Schweinsteiger 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Here's my prediction, City will lose against Madrid which will give them more incentive to beat Arsenal next week. I see City winning it against the Gunners cause the state of that club is absolutely toxic right now with the whole Wenger situation. I think Arsenal are pretty safe tho and will finish in their favorite position.

Can't see us getting Top 4 honestly, West Ham away is incredibly tough and if Fellaini gets a ban it's going to be even harder to deal with their physicality. We had plenty of chances to get into the Top 4 and constantly fucked it up. I'm not putting my hopes up any longer and just looking forward to the FA Cup final.

[–]koba-311 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

We need Arsenal and Swansea to turn up, I can see City losing points from both those games. But, we have hard fixtures against West Ham and Norwich (because we are shit away), if Felli gets banned, it'll be even harder. Not too optimistic, but definitely can be done.

[–]MrD3athRyan Fucking Giggs 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's going to be incredibly tough. Arsenal don't have anything to play for. With KdB, City should be favourites. I'm confident about us getting 9 points though.

[–]SurilliarManchester United 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

They still need 2 points.

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

I'd say we're right back in it. If we win our next two games and Arsenal get a result at the Eithad, we will go into the last game ahead of them.

But things will have to pan out for us.

West Ham will be the hardest, they will be out for revenge for the cup exit and it will be the last ever game at Upton Park.

[–]OllieUnited18Schneiderlin 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

While the Arsenal match is huge, a trip to Wales could be tricky. Liverpool learned that the hard way today...

[–]derky123 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Universe keeps sending us hope and we keep on smashing them. Hopefully though we can beat all three remaining games (although West Ham and Norwich are going to be pretty hard) and City, distracted from Champions League gets smashed by Arsenal. FA Cup title and Top 4 would be a good end to this season. GO MAN UNITED !

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

We always get a lifeline. Crazy. Hopefully City can screw up along the way and we can capitalize. Onwards and upwards.

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

I think we can clinch it.

If we played like we did today, then we will definitely beat West Ham.

We also need City to lose to Arsenal (which could happen as Arsenal look like they're picking up form), and if we win our last three (assuming City beat Swansea), we'll get fourth.

[–]TudoorsYoung 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think City are going to absolutely smash Arsenal, and lose to Swansea. I don't think we'll beat West Ham, but I see us grinding out results against the other two sides.

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

West Ham shouldn't be left out of this either, they're in the same position as us. If Arsenal beat Man City then they win all their games they will also take top 4 our game versus them could be the 4th place decider.

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

we kick off first next weekend and then City v Arsenal is the last match of the weekend. Norwich will be up for it and won't be an easy match for sure. Hope we get three points and Arsenal get a result. That sets up our match against West Ham nicely with both teams with a shot at top 4.

[–]7evenStringsKeane 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

If we win our last 3 games I think we will get top 4. I can't see Arsenal or City losing their final game against Swansea or Villa who most likely would have already switched off by then.

[–]erfanPFellaini's Chest 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Dammit Southampton why give us more false hope

[–]koba-311 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mod, add West Ham to the equation, they could make top 4 too.

[–]OrcnickThe 3 R's -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

A point against Leicester suddenly does not look to bad. Basically three wins and we need Arsenal to beat city!

[–]arvindedditMartial 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

If we win all three, a draw would also do!

[–]drexter12 -3ポイント-2ポイント  (0子コメント)

And my post was deleted when I said this before the game:

Even if we win remaining games, max is 69 points.

Top 4 guaranteed for rivals above us:

Arsenal: (2 draws) or (1 win) out of 2 games remaining

Man City: (2 wins) or (1 win and 2 draws) out of 3 games remaining

I thought it was all over for us now, but it really isn't. The next game for rivals really decides everything. A loss/draw for either Arsenal or City (tonight) in their next game, and its going to end in a thrilling finish.

Think about it, Arsenal losing to Aston Villa...don't count it out lol
