Hmmm there are plenty of rags out there who fully believe this. Totally convinced that Butthead is a world class manager who has won titles wherever he has been and the scum will rise to the top again. Listening to Goldstein on TShite ( how dare I!) last night was comedy gold. He basically spouted all this crap at anyone who dared to doubt the greatness of the club and the manager and he was 100% embarrassing.
Can Burnley stop them winning so we can keep laughing?

Rafael - Evans - Rojo - Shaw

Rooney ... Mata ..... Di Maria

That defence is still flimsy looking admittedly, and they could do with a bit more quality in midfield, but there are good players there. Good enough to be at least challenging for CL. They're just being run pathetically and their confidence is shot. It's great. I worry that they'll snap out of this at some point so im gonna enjoy it while i can.

And yep Spurs and Everton will be challenging for the CL too. That's what I'm saying. United are currently looking like a team that'll finish 12th or sumat but they clearly have a better team than that. Admittedly it relies on their forward line bailing them out but that doesn't effect Liverpool and there's argument that man for man Uniteds attack should be better than theirs. The fact that it isn't just goes to show how low the club has sunk since Fergie left - as we pretty much all guessed, we all thought they'd turn into a huge mess after that one consistent was removed and they have.

They may finish 3rd, as all pretenders incl. Arsenal & Liverpool are looking dodgy, but they also may finish 7th again.
1st or 2nd? No way, Jose.
