As of today

11 points off top with 75 points to play for.

No need to panic or write us off just yet

Knee rash, do you really think it impossible for the current top 4 to drop points?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No of course not and all 4 sides will drop some points, the question is do I see united bettering the results the current top 4 get? And the answer to that is no, I don't see why you will suddenly start winning loads of games and the current top 4 start dropping lots of points.

Nothing to suggest that will happen, in fact I'd arge the gap is more likely to grow than shrink based on what has happened so far this season.

My point is those odes will drop points and I am confident we will get better at taking out chances. Therefore think we will gain on the top 4.

We need the team in first to lose 4 games between now and the end of the season, just for us to catch them, and for us to have 4 more wins than they do.

Can't see that myself.

Or to lose two games and draw four

We aren't going to win the league this season. I think it's fairly safe to say that.

But people who are saying things like, "The chances us of getting top four now are literally zero," are firstly very poor at maths, and secondly, have very short memories.

Who do you see dropping out of the current top 4 for united to take their place?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not saying it's more likely to happen than not, but if you had to choose a most likely candidate I'd say Arsenal right now.

I'm not a fan of making early season predictions. We'll have a better idea about who is likely to finish top four in March. At the moment I'd say we are an outside chance. But people writing us off completely may look rather silly in the spring.

It's a good point

City have Aguero
Chelse have Diego
Liverpool to be don't have a stand out player( Coutinho possibly)
Arsenal have Sanchez


Difficult to know who United have
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We have the Not So Special One

tht's a reasonable way to put it to be fair, and agree there is to omuch football to play, just don't agree with RDD's over confidence.

I'm writing them off even at the risk of looking silly.

If you're not on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Something ain't right at Utd.

RDD. You did actually make a prediction that we would be top 4 by New Years day.

posted on 28/11/16

No, I said we could be given there are 7 league matches before then

¨I said yesterday I had a feeling things would start to click tonight and I was right.

Great win and confidence boost ahead of a busy winter schedule. I predict we will be top 4 come New Year's Day¨

That looks just like a prediction to me RDD

Yes 52, however that was before the West Ham game when we dropped another 2 points on Chelsea, City, arsenal and Liverpool.

My position yesterday, and remains that we can still get top 4.
