So, if United do that most unexpected and radical thing, win a game of football today, they are in with a chance of 3rd or 4th. Goal difference means they'd require Chelsea or Spurs to drop points, but United have an easier remaining 2 games after that (assuming Cardiff have been relegated by the time they play). The last month or so has been mad with the top 2 winning pretty much every game and the next 4 winning about 1 in 4 games. One for the stat-os, but fairly unique I'd guess, at least in the Premier league era.

this Norwegian kid is boy jumping into the deep end of a swimming pool and realising he isn't a good swimmer as he thought he was. Will he drop DDG? Dont think he has the balls to do it. We could have been sat 3rd with all the opportunities we had with spurs and arsenal losing matches or drawing them. 
millions more will be wasted giving him the cheque book.

It wasnt a bad game betwen two teams that have huffed and puffed all season but at least Sarri has a philosophy and a game plan, we just need a squad that adopts it. United on the other hand neither have the squad or a game plan. Sorry but cant see that changing and fortunate to have 11 on the pitch at the end.

Sarri has a game plan whether its a winning one is a) moot and b) even if it is, miss out on top four and he'll be gone in the summer. In any event until the De Gea contribution, Utd were objectively the better side. Even with the life sucked out of them after that, I don't remember Chelsea actually having a shot on target (which was just as well).
Herrera again showed what was missing in his absence: the critical knitting of defence and attack together. Given the contract disruption that followed, Sanchez is destined to go down as the most calamitous bit of business in PL history. Cheers Ed, you fucking knob.
Just looking at the possible outcomes in the Europa race...
Man Utd can finish with a maximum of 71 points if they win their last two games.
Huddersfield away
Cardiff at home
Utd GD is -7 vs Arsenal and -8 to Chelsea
If Chelsea only get 3 points from their last 2 games Utd are almost certainly in the Europa unless Utd score a lot.

I'm far from convinced that not making the top four is a sackable offence these days , the top six is too competitive.

Rio on the shortlist for director of football, according to Sky. Bad appointment in my view-though he did say that we should stop wasting our time chasing Ramos a few years back when we were linked with him. He said Ramos as using us to bump his wage with Madrid. Called it right so maybe he does no a thing or to. Still would prefer that former southampton bloke who actually has a track record.

That would awful, he has no track record and doesn't come across as the sharpest bloke on TV.
Awful, but funny as fuck.
I read that Ole (#oleout) wants Phelan for that role
The obvious choice is Moyes
Subbed off after 0 shots on goal
Still played better than Pogba
Steel Icarus
we move
Herrera is well-liked
Odd that Ole (#oleout) did not start himYes that's true and he is leaving - still at least they tied down young and jones on extended contracts

Think of it not as a full Brexit, more a temporary customs union.Europa League confirmed if this stays as is
