I said at the start that given the summer's enforced sales and the added pressure of the Premier League I'd be happy with sixth and the knockout stage respectively. We did better than expected in the latter so I'll be disappointed rather than sad with winning next year's Europa League.

The bottom 3 were shit last year. I'm not sure the bottom 3 being shit again this year makes any difference.

It's been a very good season with some excellent moments and some disappointing ones. I firmly believe that if we hadn't had that spell of our defence being hit with a new injury every game we'd already be in the CL. None of the other CL contendors had to deal with anything like that, and if they had they'd already be out of contention. We've done remarkably well to take it down to the last game.

The big immediate disappointment tomorrow will be if we don't do our bit and win.

The media are doing their absolute best to curse the fuck out of us too. So many articles on how bad Man Utd are, that everyone's miserable, they can't run in a straight line, they smell etc. I've never seen such a jinx effort before in my life.

Well it does . This season the bottom 3 collected 59 points in total.
Last season they collected 80 points .

Luton 26, Burnley 24, Sheff U 16. Total points, not 80.

So long as we win tomorrow - I won’t have too many complaints.

We did well given the pressure of UCL, plus the ffp tightrope which I think meant we came into the season light.  We had a lit of injuries in the first half - something a lot of our peers didn’t.

I think whatever happens will go into next season looking quite different - so would be great for us to end with a win.

76 then . 22/23 the bottom 3 collected 90 points.
So it further underlines how crap this seasons bottom 3 are.

I think the biggest threat to us tomorrow is Palmer at Chelsea . That lad can win games on his own , just need to pray Forest are on him .

They probably wish he'd done that a bit more winning matches on his own, he's scored once in his last twenty matches in all competitions. His last goal away from Stamford Bridge was on January 4th.

"Wasteful" Ollie Watins has nine in the same time period.
