Take a look over in Red Cafe, they're on full meltdown over there, every thread is about Mourinho, over 200 pages dedicated to Woodward across 2 threads.... they're cracking lads, they're cracking. Just got to hope that Maureen keeps his nerve and ruins the club.
United finished second last season, 19 pts behind City. 14 games into this season, they are already 16 points behind. Last season the GD was +39, after 14 games it's now 38, their current GD is -1.
It's not unreasonable to assume basis current prospects they'll finish 30 points behind City. City got 100 pts as last season, 70 points will put United in 5th place! It's absurd to say but 30 points behind City is still good... Burnley in 7th were 46 behind, Newcastle in 10th where United should end up were 56 points behind!
Even if United have a disasterous season United could qualify for the UEFA cup and Mourinho keep his job.
