Not what we needed

Pain in the Swiss roll.

I couldn't give a sh1t about the league title situation, but we need Chelsea winning like a hole in the head.

Mendy is such a shìt player.

For all the talk of a “process” or “transition period” through the Moyes/LvG/Jose era’s I think we are finally seeing that happen under Ole. I’m still not sure he’s good enough to be the long term manager and bring success but I’m on board with everything we are doing as a club at the moment.

Okay so why is the Europa league now important

when a team is unable to finish in the top 4, the europa league is the only route to the champions league.

I see Ole as being the "groundwork" manager right now. Set the philosophy/standards that are expected for Utd for when there will eventually be another high profile manager to come in. Me personally, i love what he does off the pitch in regards to the club but i think on the pitch managing games he's not up to par.

what managers do you see coming through?

Nagelsmann is the only one i see, and he'll be off to munich.

just randomly, i think michael laudrup could be a very good left field shout. would attract top players, and plays a good brand.

Damn Chelsea Peno

City are annoying.

Pep will have to spend another €300 million this Summer no doubt.

It's Leicester we need to slip, especially with their run-in.

They've Everton away next, very loseable game. Big pressure on them if they lose. Especially if Chelsea hang on for the win here. The barrier of a team between them and the pack will go soon.

5th might do us also but that depends on the thickness of City's brown envelopes to UEFA.

Hope City get that Uefa ban. They've been dreadful tonight. Thought we were guaranteed to close the gap today but of course Pep has to have a stinker tonight.

I still think we have the better fixtures than Chelsea and Leicester but it's another uphill battle and I'm worried we might run out of steam. 13 games unbeaten at the moment. Can't see us going unbeaten for the rest of the season and if Chelsea extend the gap anymore than 5 points, it'll be proper hard to get top 4.

We should have been third had we brought Bruno in last summer, the difference one player can make to the side was something none of us possibly realised until he arrived.

We wasted the first half of this season, so many silly dropped points, we were dropping points in a manner inverse to how Liverpool seemed to be winning them against all odds.

We need to at least be going unbeaten until the end of the season in the league to pull anything out of the fire. Anything we will achieve will have been in spite of the clubs hierarchy, and now with the prospect of Newcastle becoming another City type mega club we really need to be prepared for next season to push to be in the top three.

Delighted Liverpool don't get to win it on the field, they've just won their first title in yonks and nobody really cares. Fantastic.

That’s just been disingenuous imo. They are miles ahead of second place, have been head and shoulders above everyone else this season after going so close last season. They are CL champions.

I’m sure they don’t care if they win it on the pitch or not. They did win it on the pitch by amassing such an incredible points total.

It’s their first title in 30 years. Swallow the medicine and congratulate them on the achievement. They care and I’m sure you do.

Same as Leicester then

I really hate to see a post as pathetic as this. I hope I never see Liverpool win the league again but plenty of people care, you included by the sounds of it!

Liverpool played great football this season and were miles better than any other team. All we need is a few top signings and hopefully we will challenge them

Having seen so much success as a United fan over the years, not one trophy my club won made my life tangibly better. I remember all the victories vividly but nowhere near as vividly as the birth of my kids, my wedding day or the memories of dead relatives.

It's nice to see your team win but all we do as football fans is live vicariously through people whose lives are so far removed from our own it's scarcely believable.

Congratulations to Liverpool, but to paraphrase (and perhaps b@stardise)Bill Shankly, football isn't a matter of life and death, not at all.

By definition the team that wins the league is the best team in the league :rolleyes:

I never recall any rival fans queueing up to congratulate us, quite the opposite. Fergie is a cheat, United are cheats etc. etc...

I don't like how hatred of a rival has to be so central to being a fan of a soccer club.
Remember, a lot of Manchester United and Liverpool fans sit together in stands no problem wearing Ireland or England shirts.

It's just nonsense and always had been.

As a kid in the 80s, I have vivid memories of Liverpool fans loving our struggles as much as their own success. In light of that, our success in the 90s and onwards was all the sweeter. They're famously bad winners but what can we do about it?
