José has already proven and actually stated that he is going to be parking his fleet, with statements like '90% of teams do it, we did it for 20 minutes', which all United fans won't mind a jot if they win the league. Mancini would put a defender on for an attacker if we were 2 up against a big team, but we had Yaya, who was a marauding monster back then. This premier league gets won by physical teams who can defend and hit on the counter or set piece. If we win it, it will be the first time a footballing team has won it since Bergkamps Arsenal, but they had big guys in that team too. Regardless of all that, what a brand of football we play, this European Cup is very winnable with this team
 
I agree that Chelsea and latterly Utd are efficient and effective rather than consistently exciting, but Pellegrini's title winners were pretty footbally, weren't they?

Pep's Barca was on a different level. The Rags will and have got more favours than even we do. At least there's some kind of split of Pro-Barca/Pro-Madrid in Spain. Over here, we're just hated and roadblocked at every turn.

All I'm saying is United could lose 18-0 twice to us this season, and they'd only lose the title on GD. Has 11/12 written all over it again and it will be orchestrated. In a fair fight they finish 15/20 points behind us, but this isn't a fair fight.

Yes they were.

And so were Mancini's team for the most part, especially in the first third of the 11/12 season.

After that, it became more difficult, as teams started parking the bus.

The 5-1 at Spurs and the Sick Swan spring to mind.

    Guy should be thanking his lucky stars he's at a club like ours when he belongs at a hoofball team. There will be no 'fight' to keep him, if we hand him an extension he's gonna sign it.


This gem from the Caf as Fellaini wants a new contract and a big rise.
