Do you really believe the league is over...?

I am sure I heard a few notes from her last night at the bitter cold Emirates

I thought that noise was my ear drums shattering with cold.
You might be right though as we certainly didn't hear any Arsenal fans.

if we win sumday then it cn be time to sing 'that song' in the situation we are in it isn't arrogance and after many tense finishes lets enjoy this for a change.

No. I think we can start to sing it about 2 minutes from the end of the match we need to win (whichever that is) to be mathematically certain of winning the title, but only if we are winning 4-0. Let's not be presumptuous.


(Old habits still die hard with me, and we're not red dippers)

Also we as a big club now must move on from united. We must not consruct our identity as pure anti-united or anti-another club. Our aim must be achieve new targets for us, for our club, not making them angry.

Agreed. When United were winning everything, they didn't care about us. We need to get away from this "obsession" with United. It is small-time. These days, United are just one of 19 other teams we must finish above to win the league.

I said just after Boxing day 84pts will be enough, 3 more wins for us that's it forget the rest.

I think you're probably right, in that no-one else will get more than 84.

Win on Sunday and you can start to hear the fat lady, Rags and Liverpool play next week so one or both are dropping points

Correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure they had a banner in the stadium about us.

I agree with this, but I'd still kind of like the guard of honour. The resentment of having twenty years of having utter contempt poured all over you doesn't go away easily. But I agree, it doesn't matter all that much – it'd just tickle me if it did.
What I would like, on the other hand, is for us to break Chelsea's record number of points. Ten more matches to play, twenty one points to do it.

Yeah, they liked to mock us with a banner but from a footballing point of view, winning things was far more important to them than what we were doing at the time. I still feel that a certain percentage of our support are more concerned with getting one over on United, than winning trophies.
