The Title Race - 2021/22

I’ve heard a million times in the ever so neutral press that Liverpool can close the gap to 3 points with a win at the Etihad but not once that City can go 9 clear and put the champagne on ice

Who will United fans support when we play the dippers in the title showdown ? Their hated eternal rivals or the little irrelevant neighbours who they couldn’t care less about. 99% Will cheer on the mickeys.

So, if we win, that'll probably put us 9 points ahead of them, at least! They're in the Chumps league too - and Carabou final as well.

I just think pep will prioritise champs league over prem & we may see some more rotation this will give Liverpool something to chase. Their priority is prem I believe

 

[Blu1]

Even a draw is ok for us....

I agree but I have an awful feeling the derby won’t go as planned. :-( hope I’m wrong. This is their one way to give their fans something to cheer & they are stuffy against us. I just see points dropped ahead

You must know pep will never prioritise any single cup.

I’m not sure, pep & the club want this trophy & we are in a very good position to win it

Outside of Ederson, Rodri and Cancelo, I legitimately couldn't call what a priority and non-priority first eleven would look like. We've got the squad to win the league and go the distance in Europe, and if we don't it won't be because Pep rotated because he's done that all season.

That sounds like something they may have been saying about us a decade or so ago. It really is nice to see how far they've fallen.

Someone asked me the other night about how many points we were ahead and I didn't have a clue. They are about as relevant in our thinking as Brentford were - try to get 3 points, move on to the next game, no idea what the table looks like below the top 2

Hes says time and time again that winning breeds winning. He tries to win every single trophy we enter

How could you not totally love the run-in at the business end of the 2018/19 season? As a football supporter, the things that dreams are made of.

Because the pain of losing it to them outweighs the joy of beating them to it. With hindsight yeah it was fuckin brilliant but had we lost it i would never have gotten over it
