Bolton (H)
Arsenal (A)
Stoke (H)
Chelsea (A)
Liverpool (H)
Norwich (A)
Spurs (A)
WBA (H)

City could easily win all 10 of those. (I know it won't happen) Anyway realistically I have us down for 26 points drawing with Spurs and Everton just can't for the love of me see any others take points from us (unless they manage to defend like WBA)

Rags will Defo drop more points in the next 10 than us (or they should do) I have them Down for 22 points losing @ Arsenal Spurs and drawing with Chelsea.

I worked through all the fixtures for the season and I get us and the rags only 2 points apart us 94 and them 92 it must surely come down to who wins the derby it's gunna be very close and very nerve racking :( Come on blues :)

As for a 3 horse race I just can't see Spurs keeping pace they'll finish 10+ behind us and rags.

i went on the BBC predictor and had us winning the league from the rags by 4 points, had a top 4 of us, rags, spuds, arse.

You're writing off Spurs too easily. They have absolutely proved themselves this season.

It's New Year, they're 7 points behind with game more to play and looking at their schedule, it's hard to see who could take a single point from them before they come to us so they could come with only 4 points behind.

And if there is one match where I'm afraid for final score it's the one against them. They play the football that could make a damage for us. First match was played in completely different and strange situation for them and could not be used as a real showcase.

true they didnt have Parker and he's holding that midfield together to allow Modric and Bale to run havoc. Watched him V Norwich and he's so intelligent, doesn't waste energy and does the simple things.

If we finish one place below Spurs, our best possible position will be third because no way on Earth will they take down the rags.

There is only one team who has a cat in Hell's chance of stopping Utd & that's us. If we can get to them again & demoralise them, then it's not impossible it could hurt them enough for them to drop out of the top 2 & let some of the others kick them around a bit, but none of these other characters will do it without us.

Either we kill them off or they win it. Spurs my arse.

not only parker but situation with Modric transfer made a huge damage to them at that time. Modric even asked to not play that match and was invisible on the pitch. and we still had some problems before we started to score. They had 2 great chances at 0:0.

 

[marsy was here]

Does ady go to the ANC next month with Togo??

oops just found this..

The bizarre decison of African governing body CAN to banish Togo following their bus being attacked by terrorists at the 2010 tournament has now been lifted, but they failed to qualify so Spurs will also not have to deal without Emmanuel Adebayor for a month next year.

More than ever now. The next time we play a league game the rags will be top and Spurs will have the same number of points as us.

Before we play again in the Prem:

Rags: Toon away and Bolton home

Spuds: Everton home and Wolves home

Then, finally, they both have a run of tricky games.

Wigan will probably play the game against us like a Cup Final.

Whelan is a huge United-fan.

The game i fear most is the one against Everton.

All we can do is hope they both don't collect 6 points before we play Wigan but I wouldn't be surprised.
