The hope for me has to be us getting Champion's League football and them simultaneously missing out - every year that this occurs is good for us in the long-term, slowing their ability to potentially ever become a force again.
At the moment I think that if we do qualify for the Champion's, the Mancs will as well.
One thing that would help is if Villa and Chelsea BOTH manage to beat them, which I don't foresee - with us then finding a win at Old Trafford, which I think will prove tough this season.
One of Chelsea or Villa could miss out - Chelsea have the upcoming tough run of fixtures, whilst Villa's final two games (unless the schedule changes) are against us and Man City, so they could end up missing out right at the Death of the season.
Just need to keep handling our own affairs. Beat West Ham, cross fingers someone else drops points, rinse, repeat.
