The toughest three games there could be Burnley, Spurs and Fulham, depending on other results. Leicester, Leeds and Villa are comfortable, dippers will be throwing everything at Europe.
Burnley and Fulham? Seriously? See how both of them capitulated yesterday? Against average sides as well. I can see your argument alright; both sides scrapping for points for survival. But with both of those games at OT, I just can't see past home wins.
 
The league is over , was after the win at anfield ,and mathematically,time will tell ,but I actually think yesterday’s win will seal it as I do not see another team topping 74points-my opinion I know but I do not think and the form of all the other chasing teams suggest this
Utd still have to play at least 5 teams who will sit in and counter attack as much as they do , they WILL struggle to win theses matches ,As this season has already proved !

forget the rest

Get the champagne out

I have since anfield and nothing I have seen since has made me think otherwise!

I'd rather play an open team on the beach than a side that are fighting for survival and will park the bus and counter, especially if I had the players the rags do.
 
And I was saying that the title is now a procession, so to keep the season alive it would be better and more interesting for a six team scrap for three CL places
To you it may be a procession, they want to create the illusion of a possible title race up until the end for a lot of other people. Don't underestimate the naivety of some folk. Utd's penalty stats are an indicator.
 
Very hard!

I watched us at Leicester and we were incredible. Almost total control of the game, we must be a nightmare to play against. When the third best team in the country are terrified of you you know you're doing something right. For my nerves I wish we'd put games to bed earlier but we have some squad.
 
The Rags will drop points , Mourinho will have Spursy motivated and he will take a 0-0 all day long ,Leeds away is always a grudge match ditto the Dippers game, Villa & Leicester are both better "football" teams , even with the VAR's and penalties , i think the Rags will hand us the title when we are at Wembley collecting another trophy and on the same day they will fail to beat Leeds United. Has any other team won two trophies in one day ?

Burnley have won the last and drawn the previous two games at OT, they will not be a gimme for the rags.
 
This group of players (give or take) had the mental strength to win 14 on the spin two years ago with a brilliant Liverpool breathing down our necks as the spring progressed.

The notion that we’re going to surrender a fourteen point lead from here, or eleven assuming united win their game in hand, with seven games to go, is absurd.

People may point to 2012, but once united had drawn one and lost one in the run-in, our destiny was in our own hands. For this to fall into united’s hands with three games to go, we would need to lose our next four games, even if they win their game in hand, given the goal difference differential.

And those that point to ‘typical City’ conveniently forget Charlton, Bradford, Gillingham and Blackburn where we conspicuously delivered the goods when it mattered.

This isn’t arrogance, or being ‘raggy‘ - it’s the application of experience and logic. A team managed by Pep Guardiola will not lose this title from here.

8 games to go for them GDM, 7 for us.

Bookmarked.


Nah, not really. This title is done and dusted and there's no shame in being confident of that fact.
