Re: didnt expect any favours

We will win the league, however I do feel we will slip up against Chelsea... I know i know it's at home but I can see that team having a big hard-on 'till the end of the season under Di Matteo.

Re: didnt expect any favours

We need to win all our remaining games because (other than vs us) they will. It's a huge ask.

Either way I'm proud of us and our day will still come.

The cororate machine that is CITY will finally squash bacon.

This. A thousand times. This team and this club are only going to get stronger.

The best is yet to come. Both teams will amass over 90 points imo which puts them light years ahead of the rest. It's going to be the same next season and the season after that. I wonder if Sky will refer to us as "The Big 2". Somehow I fucking doubt it.

These are the days. I fucking love it.

Playing catch up with fixtures.....

If Chelsea beat Birmingham in the FA Cup Replay, United play at Wolves that week in the league and we have a spare weekend. Do you think possibly playing catch up will affect the team?

I'm hoping the Chelsea home game (if needs be) gets rearranged as soon as.....

Re: didnt expect any favours

Ruthless today the rags, fuckin ruthless. Reminded me of Us v Porto at home.

This is getting horrendous now. They just wont go away. I couldn't bear it if the derby is the decider.

why the fuck should we be concerned about the derby being the decider ? we have murdered them 6-1 and played with ten men against them for 85minutes and narrowly lost. Cant wait for yooonited to come to our place , because they are going to get a lesson they will never forget , and i hope they bring the premiership trophy with them , it will save us collecting from the swamp.

Re: The Run In (game by game)

This is the Gary Neville way of looking at it. United's first "red" out of the way of course now.

Re: The Run In (game by game)

Looking at atkinson today, plus other refs, the one thing that stands out is that we need to be 100% behind every player that plays in our last 11 games... Including Tevez!!!

If we can do this, we can beat every team we play. I'm not over happy with him playing again, but if Bobby and the lads think we can finish the job with his help, then I for one am backing them...

Re: The Run In (game by game)

Swansea,stoke, Norwich away games for us is were I can see us dropping points,3 very hard matches for us, don't think we will have a problem with Chelsea or arsenal imo.can see them dropping a few points at home and maybe Blackburn away usually the games were you expect a team to win but they end up dropping points and they also have to play us.going to be very close.last year we finished very strong so we will see how it goes.

swansea and norwich will not be a problem , because they both attack and play football , stoke and arsenal away will be tricky games. The home form will look after itself , we will win all 19 home games in a canter.

Re: The Run In (game by game)

We were all saying these last 5 games would be where we created a bit of a gap and the rags had to go and win them all :(

Comparing the run-ins we have much much harder fixtures and tbh can't see us winning the league anymore. Today's result for them has really gutted me, starting to lose faith

Fancy Wolves to get something from that game so don't think we'll be playing catch up anyway.
