It's over. We will be lucky to pick up 5 points from our final 4 away games.
Or just being too tentative.Corky said:last 5 months only 8 points form 8 away games.
We are heading for about 84 points with very tough away games on the way.
Away performances took a dive after the 6-1, even the QPR game was one we could have gone a few gaols behind in. The big problem has been missing too many chances away.

7 games left and the whole nation thinks the league is gone. Fuck that, the league ain't over till its mathematically over, and it's far from that. If them red bastard would be in our position now, they'd think they could do, so why can't we?
Fuck all this shit about 'Fergie's been there'. As we all know, it only takes one game to turn this league back on its head and we're back in. As long as we play, get back on and play how we know we can, we're still in with a shout.
United beat a shit Blackburn away, they've tougher tests ahead. I for one know we won't be going down without a fight, so pick your heads off your fucking chests and lets look towards twatting them gunners and putting the pressure back on.

The ability to beat teams at the bottom of the league.
How many points have we dropped and any team who can win 12 games away from home (as a minimum) deserve it.
It fooking hurts to say it,but I`m a realist.
We have beat teams lower down the league, for most of the season everyone was lower in the league than us, and most still are.
It takes one game to ignite the season again, and why can't it be against arsenal on Sunday?
Kompany coming back, Lescott soon to shore up the defence, Aguero coming soon, even a player who is reviled at the moment on here (Balotelli, who I like), can pull a goal out of nowhere. Barry has been rested and should play against arsenal. And what a game for Nasri to show us how good he is (Getting better as the season progresses).
I didn't say it was going to be easy, but it's still definitely possible, and while it's still on, I'm keeping the faith.
I agree completely.Blue Punter said:I've watched Utd the last 2 Mondays and seen them benefit from a late penalty not given last week and winning with 2 late goals tonight.
If we were giving 5 points up to Barca, Madrid or Utd teams of past years, I'd say it was definitely over. However this Utd team is nowhere near as good as any of these and I expect them to drop points at some stage.
Question is whether we're good enough to win all/most of our games? Our current form would say it's unlikely, but there's still hope.
I want to push them all the way and if they win it, make them earn it, rather than meekly surrender it to them.
As it stands, a draw for them and a victory for us in the Derby puts us level. Whatever happens, we need to take it as far as we can, otherwise we'll be under the same pressure next Mar/Apr when we're challenging for the title again. I want us to encounter the heat of a title run in. Invaluable experience for future seasons.
