Man Utd Vs Villa

[WhiskeyJar]

Fulham are a far better side than sunderland mate. And hodgson is a better manager than sbrigia.

 

Not doubting that. All I am saying that Fulham were not expected to win against a strong United side and Villa were expected to get something off a half reserve United team.

 

Have faith young padawan. This is what happens when you are in a title race. Look at the remaining fixtures with a shed of optimism.

[WhiskeyJar]

You'll draw at home with Hull, Stoke, West Ham, Fulham, City and Everton.

 

Torres will miss half the season.

 

Rafa will be picking fights just like he did the year before.

 

Keane will flop and Dossena won't be much better.

 

Oh, but you'll be fighting tooth and nail for the title in mid-April.

 

 

 

 

 

Tell people that in August and they'd have thought you were cracked.

 

Stop making predictions about this season, it has been too weird already.

 

Some very good advice that. Anything can happen.

[ratcatcher]

Anything can happen. Now its got 'real' both ourselves and the Scum will be feeling extra weight. Those down the bottom simply have to give it everything they've got. There's no point in them trying to nick a point etc against us and Man Utd they have to go out and try to win. That could well help us and possibly lead to them being further exposed. Maybe just maybe eh.

 

Hell even Newcastle won't be a roll over.

 

Why ?

 

The Mancs have failed to win 7 of their 15 away games already , and some to very ordinary teams & they will be threading these games around CL & FA Cup games as well. Also , Wenger , for all of his faults , will never spread 'em for Ferguson don't you worry.

 

And on a more surreal note , if you are looking for omens I just flicked the TV over and happened upon Liam Neeson kicking the shit out of James Nesbitt.

 

Fingers crossed then!

[Fugitive]

Breaking news: If Manchester United win the Premier League this season, to mark the occasion, Premier League Referees will be allowed to wear 18 stars to show what they have done for their cause!

If, perchance, we don't win the league I think Leeson will happily supply us with Nesbitt's home address so we can all have a go.

[zigackly]

If we didn't win the league this season... how would you feel? What has this season taught you?

 

That we are going to win it sooner rather than later.

 

Nobody comes from fourth to win any top flight league with no title winning experience in the squad, and yet here we are in with a chance, scrapping it out to the last few games. We will push on from this. We will play better next season. And this squad has a title in them.

[Salou]

At the end of the day at the start of the season all I wanted was a major challenge lasting into the last 10 games. We have achieved this and some more. The fact that we were top for so long makes it more dissapointing if and when it's decided that we won't win it this year. If we don't atleast we have shown we have what it takes meaning it will be much sooner rather than later we will win it. However I still have very very high hopes for this season.

[Red Nick]

I didnt even watch the game and only heard it was 2-2 after a call but I refused to go and watch because I knew they would win.

 

However there is a very big positive from this weekend in that both teams won when they could have drawn and if both teams had drawn it could have been seen as another missed opportunity. At least we didnt fuck up and if we dont fuckup till the end of the season we will finsih within 4 points of the champions which I think most of us would have settled for at the start of the season if not in November.

You're an idiot and not even a Red.

 

Please fuck off.

My biggest fear is that every season we keep saying with a couple of additions we will win it next year. But it's doesn't happen. I am keeping everything crossed that we can win it this year but I just can't see it not after today.

But what do they think on RTE?

 

I really hope Fergie stays in the job for a while yet, I want to knock the shitty arsed cunt right off his fucking perch.

I never thought we "would" win the league this season. It's possible but I never thought at the start of the season that we were going to win it. Benitez, most seasons, has reduced the points deficit between ourselves and the top side. Next season is the one where I think we could win the league. It's unusual to go from 4th to champions. Most teams lose the league before they win it. That said, I still think we have a chance of winning the league. This isn't a point directly to you but I wish people would sit tight and see what happens, rather than getting carried away on the back of a win, a defeat, or another team winning. People's opinions are swinging wildly on the back of a result or two and it's, well, quite soft. We might win. We might not. If we keep this up, I will finish the season a proud red with high hopes for next season.

[Torvald Utne]

...and it's, well, quite soft.

 

hahaha

[RobbieOR]

I agree dirk. The point you made about teams losing the league before they win it is intersting. If we don't win it this season the players will know how bad of a feeling it is to lose the league and will try their upmost not to lose it again. The expireience will spur them on.

Interesting point of vew

 

However as a tiler will tell you if you dont have the tools you cant do the job, we have lots of tools (too many of one type) and sometimes you need that special tool to cut special corners (ie the type of player we could have bought this season but we didnt) and if you dont have that tool you cant finish the job off.

 

Unless those problems are readdressed in the summer I dont see us winning it next season either.

 

Next season we should spend all our money on one player ie Ribbery and let the squad any youngeters be enough to see us through. However I am pretty sure that wont happen but i might be pleasantly surprised

[Red Nick]

In Rafa's defence if Torres had played as well as he had last season we might still be ahead in the league beside all our missed opportunities

[Red Phoenix]

In Rafa's defence

 

Did you get stoned tonight or something? That looks wierd coming from you, you're usually complaining in some way..... Parry must have payed you off.

Agreed. People have sat up and taken notice of us this season. We're no longer the "side most likely to drop out of the top 4" - we're genuine title fodder.

[Rex Banner]

I feel so gutted like that was it right there, if they lost or got a a draw it would of been so close but now it seems so far away. I'll probably feel this way until the weekend when we beat Blackburn and play the waiting game again.

Villa and Everton normally roll over and die for Utd most seasons so I wouldn't be too disheartened mate. Utd weren't going to lose all their games from now till the end of the season. What these last couple of weeks has shown is that they are shit at the back which will encourage teams to have a go rather than just sit back and hope they can defend for 90 mins (which is almost impossible).

 

Looking at the remaining fixtures, most of our games are played before the Mancs so we just need to make sure we do our job and keep the pressure on.

I doubt everton will roll over manu this time, not with them chasing forth, not unless they hate us more than they want what's best for their own team.

I thought that was one of the definitions of being an evertonian?

[Bobby Chariot]

Shitty arse talking shite again in his post match interview. Anyone know what a 'crub' is and who 'riverpoorh' are?

 

Maybe he had a bit of shit in his mouth.

[spider-neil]

fergiescum is a grade 'A' cunt.

two losses = nowhere to be seen

last minute winner = in front of the camera grinning like a fucking cheshire cat
