If we repeat the 6-1...

...or even better it, would you be really that gutted if they win the league this year?

I've been thinking about this a lot recently. When I watch the rags, I get utterly frustrated because week in week out I see the teams they play just roll over for them. Sloppy finishing and shite defending. I always wish we could play them every week.

Imagine if this season we got to play them 10 times in the league - we'd walk the title. We're so much better than them. Except when it comes to beating average teams away from home.

What's more important in life - the journey or the final destination? Life is what happens when you're making other plans. I'm making plans for celebrating the league title, meanwhile we're thumping them 6-1 at their place.

If we hammer them at home next month it will prove to me that we are the better team, and it will ease a LOT of the pain of seeing them lift the title again. Because it won't happen next season.

Honestly, I think that was a one off. But to answer your question, yes I would be gutted if they won the league this year... even if we beat them 10-0.

I'll always remember that day though. In their own back yard!
 
I enjoy beating United but I'm not obsessed by them. Ultimately they are just another team. So no, beating them twice 10-0 but still losing the title to them would not ease the pain. The 6-1 was a freak result that won us 3 points. I would gladly have taken a 2-1 at Old Trafford and used the other four goals at Fulham, Stoke, Liverpool and West Brom. That would have won us an extra 8 points!

Is this a joke?! If we beat the Rags in a record breaking 11-1 victory on April 30th - after a 1-6 victory at the Swamp in October - yet fail to win the Premier League title then both results will mean very very little to me, if anything at all!
 
I doubt there will be another 6-1 for a generation but no reason we can't do them 3-0 or 4-1 or something like that!

How do you know it wouldnt happen again next season?
 
I don't really care how much we beat them by... As long as we beat them, I'm happy!
