Worth noting, however, that the number of points they got last season (74) might only have been good enough for 4th spot this season, depending on how Chelsea do in their last two games.
Apparently, according to some United fans, if we finish second this year, we're no better than United were last year - I've genuinely seen comments from United fans saying this. It's an "interesting" take.
Yes, it's an interesting take.
Interesting how far they have to go in order to cope with being sixth, 31 points behind their biggest rivals with a game left to play.
Interesting, in that if we win our remaining game, we equal their greatest ever points total. It also beats every single one of the title winning totals bar the one it equals.
Interesting, in that we've come second in recent times with points totals well above their best title winning totals.
Yes, mental gymnastics as a coping strategy is, well, rather interesting.
