Chelsea are in 4th and are closer to the bottom team Norwich than they are to Liverpool.  Monty Ha

As I said I think Moyes and his ridiculously smug ego are in big trouble!

I think west ham will be ok, got beat 4-1 in the end tonight but they were the better team for spells in the game, Leicester we're good but it could have went either way at one point, hard to predict who will go with Norwich, everyone else seems to have a bit of hope.

10 minimum, but it's so hard to predict.

Reckon they'll beat Brighton, Wolves and Spurs.

Look at the utter shite in that United team. 

Even Mourinho couldn’t get them anywhere near a title challenge.

I like what Ole is building at Manchester United. I think he deserves a longer to finish what he's started.

The Man United recruitment has failed him.

Man Utd are the top three clubs in the world and Ole is Norwegian, yet Dortmund secured Halaand? This shows that that something is not right with the suits who do the negotiations.

They can't seem to offload Pogba either. Offload Pogba, get Coutinho in. They should've had Halaand in and another quality midfielder. They have some superb young defenders coming through the academy. Tanzebe, Williams etc... When they can replace Shaw and Lindelof, they'll be good to go but they need experience first.

Just can’t see this end well at all for Ole. They are an unmitigated shambles. They are like Hearts but on a global stage.

Interesting. If they get 10 they’ll probably need 7 from their last 5 to be safe.
I’ll predict 8pts max.
Agree that it’s wide open down there.

Since Solskjaer took over, Burnley have won more league games than Man Utd. For those saying man utd's squad is awful etc, ask yourself if their squad is worse than Burnleys. It's full of overpaid dross, but there's no way Burnley have a better squad than utds.

The players at man utd are a problem, but so is solskjaer.

If I was to guess I'd say Norwich, Villa and Bournemouth to go down. I thought Burnley were in trouble then they go and win two on the spin against Leicester and Man U.

Loads of people would have had Southampton and Newcastle in trouble but they're comfortably mid table these days.

Outside shout would be Crystal palace, I know they are mid table but I think they are a side who could go on a really bad run and they don't score goals.

Is it though? Garbage like Pereira, James, Lingard? Jones, Wan Bissaka, Shaw...that’s so so weak.

I agree that he’s not nearly good enough for them but those players are wank. They’ve lost Marcus Rashford and now they can’t buy a goal ffs Laugh

Aye, but burnley are hardly full of world beaters, and rashford has been fit during that period. The fact he's injured now doesn't explain away what happened before he got injured.

Fans at OT tonight (again) singing anti-Glazers songs and about chucking them and Woodward on a bonfire. Ole's not great but those that go are in no doubt where the majority of blame lies.

These players will look at solskjaer and think you've managed a few diddy teams and you made your name as a super sub as a player, there won't be any real respect or fear there at all, they probably like him because he seems like a nice guy but this shower need a proper manager to guide the club out the mess they are in.

They should be begging pochettino to come in and let him do what he wants.

That's all very well but Man U's team should beat Burnley at home. Simple as that. OGS is a joke of a manager.

No but they are full of solid journeyman pros at that level, with a couple of really good goalscorers thrown in in Barnes and Wood. Obviously I’m being a wee bit facetious because they are still above them in the league, even after last night, but it’s actually not that unfair a question to ask. When you look beyond what, Rashford, de Gea (who’s been off form forever) and *maybe* Martial and Maguire, who I don’t even particularly rate, who does he actually have that plays and contributes? A mix of guys who are old and past it, and young players who are mostly nowhere near good enough.

Not even arguing that Solskjaer is anything other than pish and should be binned, but their squads aren’t so wildly different that we should take it as read that United are better, because although they might be on paper, so many of their players are just names.
