to finishing outside of the top 4...
Last season, when our struggles became very apparent, I approached each game with a mindset expecting we would lose. It worked. I would always come back from the bar in the very best of form, win, lose or draw.
With the race for 3rd and 4th being tighter than a ducks ar se, I've already accepted that we'll fall short. If that's the case, we accept it and move on. I would prefer it that LvG gets another season and really start to mold the team into something more attractive and effective. I understand others would rather see the back of him, but what would another managerial appointment so soon really achieve? More upheaval, more disruption.
If we do fall over the line, then it's mission accomplished, and top level European football returns to Old Trafford (barring an utter catastrophe qualifying, should we finish 4th).
Whatever happens, let's try and enjoy the ride

I thought I add some much needed optimism, seeing as their is far to much realism in this thread

The stark realisation that it's Sunday night is enough to depress any man!

Mud - do you think we will get 4th and if so why?

Yes. Why? Because we will

Wayne, you probably are already aware that I am from Belfast, but what you're alluding to is a whole other debate, and not one really befitting of this board
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I had no idea where you are from, hence the question.
My mum was born in Belfast #brethren

In that case, I apologise. I had mentioned it several times while trying to explain that I was no imposter!
Good stuff. Excellent city, really on the rise

I can't say I share much of a connection otherwise. At the time, my 22yo unmarried Grandmother was living with her parents in Port Rush, but was sent there to a place for single ladies to have their babies then back to Port Rush afterwards for a few years until they moved to England.
This was 1942 so they weren't as liberally minded as we are these days.
A few years ago my parents visited Belfast to see the building where my mum was born, it's still there, but not used for the same purpose now.

Portrush is a nice part of the country, anywhere along the north coast infact. Pretty scenic drive too, if you're ever across and the weathers taken a turn for the better.
Do you know exactly where your mum was born? I'm always interested in finding out about local history.

I'll ask her, she knew the address when they went over about 10 years ago. I think she'd wanted to go and see it for years but didn't due to problems that persist there.

I can't say I'm not surprised
It's been a difficult place to grow up in, but also a wonderful place too. I can't even imagine how hard it would have been for my parents growing up and living through 'The Troubles', so I've been incredibly lucky in that respect. I'm just glad that, as things are, my children will not have the same problem.
