Both Liverpool and Woolwich are far better teams then United, we are a better team then them, we have the momentum and we have HARRY fucking KANE

This thread is getting my hopes up, only tears can come from high hopes.
I don't think so.Ah - the classic case of - "I will assume that the interpretation I put on your statement is what I believe it to be - and then I will pillory you for the mistake in comprehension that I am making."
Not as smart as I think I am
Utd have not quite been themselves and have kept it simple at times to get the job done. I think LVD has played it smart, beneath the crushing preasure the job attracts. Where he has nothing to say he gives the media what they wnat to hear-anything. He is the coach to one of the biggest clubs in the world and needs to get them back on track sooner rather than leter. i feel he is getting there, better than we give him credit., They may show signs of being disjointed, dont let this fog on where they are and how far they have progressed.. Beat us they are sitting pritty. They will be up for this, its a big test for us.See, I get that he's looking at every opportunity and way to scratch and claw out a top 4 finish and the team has just been a complete let down, BUT I will say that he has not impressed at all from a team management perspective. His lineups, positioning, and substitutions are often questionable or even surprisingly bad, and they seem to be lacking a clear strategy and/or vision for how the team should play. I think that is what has frustrated the fans so much, it's not that they just look really poor at times but rather that they appear to be playing poorly and don't have a clear strategy.
They knew they were in a shitty situation when Moyes had the job and after he left, and most people were realistic enough to understand that they were going to have a rough go for a while and that it would take some time for him to put his stamp on the team. That being said, he has used certain players so ineffectively (Mata & Rooney for example), descended into really poor tactics (i.e. long balls all game long), and he's PR has been quite laughable as well.
I'm not sure I would say that he's too old, and I think that he will be able to turn things around, but I can't agree that he's done well so far.
We have no right to beat them as suggested. We are getting over confidant on here, Then we lose and melt down follows. They are favorite on Suday.Imagine if we went up there and smashed them something stupid like 5-1.
They've had a result like that coming for a while.
It would be utter end of days in Guildford if that happened.

I think we will finish ahead of United even if we lose. They still have to play Chelsea, City, Woolwich, and Liverpool. Brutal. I think they'll get a max of 5 out of 12 points in those games, which is enough to sink them. The real race is with Woolwich and Liverpool.
They might, but I think they need all 3 points against us or they finish 5th. They are going to drop a ton of points going forward.I'm pretty sure Yanited will finish above us.

EDIT: I mean 6th.
Right again???
I'll save you all the Larry David Gif for the two billionth time.......
I type it, it's just muscle memory at this point.Not that it necessarily belongs in this thread but while we're killing time until Sunday I've been meaning to ask... does everyone actually type out the word "Woolwich" or do you let the filter do the work?
Ha ha. I type it as well.Not that it necessarily belongs in this thread but while we're killing time until Sunday I've been meaning to ask... does everyone actually type out the word "Woolwich" or do you let the filter do the work?
I see them finishing 5th or 4th. Liverpool are on a roll and history and form says its cant continue. But who knows?
I would say it will be Chelsea, City, scum, Liverpool. Yanited then us.
If Kane can get another 7 or 8 goals and our central defenders remember what their job is we have a squeak at 4th but I just can't see it sadly. But saying that, on paper, it's one of the easiest run ins we've had in years.
United still has to play:
I agree although I have this (inner belief) feelings we may just do it. I feel Utd will drop away so Liverpool are the team we need to get above. Its possible. Sunday is a massive game for them as much as us, so both teams will be up for it. Do Utd suffer with nerves? will they collapse at home-again?will we not turn up? could we beat them for a third time at OT? Will Poch outsmart LVG? what a game it will be...Thanks. I've been reading and hearing Spurs fans say that we're going to batter them, can't lose and that it would be a travesty not to come away with anything.
Thing is though, United are still United. They're favourites and we're not nearly as invincible as we think. Had it not been for a great Lloris save and a poor refereeing decision we would've been out of the race for top-4 a week ago.
I still believe in the hope of top-4 and love the way we're going at the moment, but let's get real. The only thing we're doing is setting us self up for meltdowns and disappointment. I stand by what I've said all along this season, and that is that I believe top-4 is a step too far this time around for this young squad.
