Has everyone given up now?

I don't think anyone will have given up, but there is no way in hell Arsenal, Liverpool or Spurs are winning it. They would have to win all 21 remaining games to get 94 points, which even then might not be enough, but none of them are good enough to win 21 times in a row.
Chelsea and United will fight on, and Mourinho was right that it isn't over yet, but he was wrong when he said its only over in May, it will will definitely be over in April this season!

Never took this bad weather as serious, the days have well gone when pitches were shit. A bit of wind and rain, so what. These players are used to that.

It was more a piss take at what the pundits have said will trip us up, the last bit about our favorite hack, Rudd was meant to be the giveaway.
Bearing in mind the Derby was played in very cold weather with snow falling I think the statement that the Brazilians in particular wont fancy it is out of the window, injuries - meh had them and not troubled us, our blip- just had that resulting in 4 x 2-1 wins.

Saturday 7th April 2018 would be a very very very VERY sweet day to win the title!

Yep, It really would take a major collapse for us not to see it through. It's amazing to think we could still lose 7 games and still get over 90 points, as long as we won the other 14 :)

At the moment there are only 5 PL games after the Derby, that could change due to involvement in Cups, but if not, then we need to be 13 points ahead of them going into that game in order to guarantee the title with a win. At the moment, you'd say that's pretty likely
 
What does giving up mean? If a team gives up do they stop trying to win games? The concept of giving up doesn't really exist does it as all teams will try to win games and finish as high as possible and those near the top obviously have the CL to target.

Obviously to beat City needs us to fall over big time so that's all they can hope and pray for. Good luck with that

Either then, or the week before so they have to give us a guard of honour and we give it to them all game in the stands!
 
As well as we are doing, we become an even bigger target for our rivals. Each one (bar Jose) will want the scalp of first to defeat us. In the exceptional games, we have had Stones or Kompany, against Spurs we have neither, I suspect Spurs could beat us if they pin Son and Kane on Mangala and Otamendi, but hope Pep goes with a surprise CB and I don't mean the Fernandinho or Danilo.. Walker would be excellent IMO.
Another key area is up front. We have to make Aurier work in defence. No Sanchez or Alderweireld for Spurs. So we have to do to them what they could do to us. Pin Bernando(or Sane) Jesus and Sterling to their back 4.
 
Let’s keep our feet on the ground and take each game as it comes. I am in absolute dream world right now but let’s not count our chickens just yet. Still a long way to go.
 
If the gap reaches 15 points I'm popping the prosecco. Even with a wobble this team is too good to let a lead like that slip. With how United are playing right now it's not inconceivable the gap might reach that in the next month.
 
If we saw this much “entitlement” on rag caf, we’d be having a pop. And how we still laugh at the dippers’ open-top bus.

We’re doing fantastic, and we’re in the chair, but we’ve won fcuk all.

I don't think it entitlement, I think it's do do with opposition morale

The teams from 2nd-6th are pretty close as are the bottom half. Look at the effort Southampton, Huddersfield and West Ham put in to ultimately leave empty handed, is it worth it? That is what teams will be asking themselves, particularly with the hectic schedule coming up

Do you remember when Wolves were fined for sending a weak team to United as they had a 'winnable' game a couple of days later? That is what we are potentially heading towards. I don't mean team actually playing weakened teams but mentally they may be focused on what they would see a winnable battles

There are 21 games left. United need to get 12 points more than us in that time. I can't see it

My feelings exactly. Enjoy what we are seeing and celebrate when it’s won. The journey can often be the best part of the trip if you let it be.

Absolutely. If we’re still 11 points clear come may the 1st next year, (Providing that rag cnut Fred Done is prepared to offer me at least 20 million to one against), I just might throw caution to the wind and risk a couple of quid on us finishing top

No coincidence that ever since I left the country we've been unbeatable.

My last home game was Everton 1-1. But unfortunately I have bad news for you all, I'll be coming to the two home games over December/January so expect a loss/draw soon!

I’d love to welcome you back, can you let me know which flight and on what date ?
