There's more than a handful managers who would kill their granny for a shot at The Swamp. Their ego keeps telling them that they are the one who can bring a title back to Trafford and build on that magnificent history encapsulated in the Fergie years!

Mainly ex Rag players, although one of them wouldn't be too happy killing a granny...

I must say I keep noticing this: it’s not just pundits, it’s fans. I had two football conversations this morning. First one with a Liverpool fan who said “Chelsea are going to take some stopping”. Second with a Chelsea fan who said “We look like we are going to win it”. Both are sensible guys and I don’t do that stupid one-upmanship football banter thing, but on both occasions I said more or less the same thing: “well they didn’t look it last month when we went there” and genuinely both looked kind of surprised; and sort of went “yeah, that’s true actually”.

Nobody considers that we nearly always put a massive run together mid season. Nobody remembers that we always finish strong. Nobody has seen that we’ve had all of our toughest games already. And everybody, in their haste to find the next champions, keeps forgetting that we are the best team in england. Whilst there are pundits out there saying “it’s a three horse race” I can’t remember the last I heard one tip us to win it this year.

I wouldn’t say it to an opposition fan but I think we will win it easily again.

Check the bookies odds that might tell you something

The bookies are usually right in my experience.

haha. Just checked. They’ve got us miles ahead. When big money is involved they don’t risk the opinions of morons, unlike much of the football media.

Don’t think so he is a bit worried they might sell him in the January window so he needs all the money he can get :)

No, but you could label it being given a huge helping hand with around 20-25 penalties, in which one guy scored every single one of them.

Now that kind of 'luck' can get you 2nd place, never mind all the non-yellows that would have been red for any other team or even the non-yellow and then the same player getting an actual yellow later on, again missing out on a red card and 10 men.

Time and time again the refs have helped these rag cunts cling to some semblance of respectability.

That is whole lotta luck, don't you think?

Yeah. What you said. Saved us all a job there Alf :)

That Burley clip is not that accurate. Last season Man Utd had a style of play. For example, when they played City it would be the counter-attack. This season they bought Ronaldo and it's changed and that's why they have struggled.

I thought every word he said was bang on the money .. Noddy was completely out of his depth from day 1..

The more bent the refs were, the luckier they got ..!
