But I thought you said we'll finish 5th at best
Due to United's fantastic failiure it looks like we're pretty much nailed on for top four.
If we can finish above Arsenal then its a superb achievement. Suarez has moved up a level this season, Coutinho is superb, Gerrard is currently rolling back the years and Henderson has actually looked like a footballer this season and a good one at that. Not to mention the superb form of Flannagan, Sterling and Sturridge... all of which were completely unaccounted for at the start of the season. Major progress has been made, lets hope it continues.
I don't doubt that we will be in the top four at the end of the season (unless Spurs beat us next weekend and we stumble dramatically after that) but I think we need to finish above Arsenal in third to be certain of qualification for the champions league.
We can't control what United do in Europe and while it's unlikely that they'll go on to win it you couldn't rule them out. Though I think we will finish above Arsenal in at least third it's not certain they've never missed out on qualifying under Wenger.
