I think Saturdays results make the 1-1 draw with Liverpool look even worse, yet again teams in front of United drop points and they fail to take advantage
Thats 4 or 5 times this season teams in the top 4 or 5 have slipped up and United have bottled it
If we had beaten Liverpool and Stoke we'd currently be 1 point ahead of them with them having to play Chelsea and Spurs in the next few weeks
I know the run has been decent but at the crunch times they have failed to stamp any bit of authority on the league all the game we've won have been fairly easy in terms of opposition, our 2 hardest games slipped up in.
I still think the best route to go down for CL football is by winning the EL because league matches towards the end of the season are looking anything but straight forward

Of course you can use score predictions when debating whether a future event (us attaining a top 4 finish) will eventuate. It's a guess.

This.
It's funny how people have a problem with a future prediction where I'm saying we'll be okay but those same people slating are more than happy to write us off. Surely that's a future prediction?

That isn't really the point Firmino was making.

I thought it was in response to Robb's predictions to counter SE's claim we won't get top four.
.................
It was.
Nothing wrong in making a prediction, but you can't base your argument on that prediction, which was Firminos point.
SE's comment was ridiculous as well mind. Whilst the damage was well and truly done in that two month period, it wasn't insurmountable, or fatal, as he put it.

Glad I'm not a betting man, otherwise I'd be a poor man.

Robb is a betting man, so he really should know better.

The reason we're 6th is because of October n November being shocking.

He was hounded out for more than just a league position and rightly so
