Reallly hoping that united win the league esp as im a man u fan. but i have this strange feeling with everything that has been going on with the results and after todays games. Also the way the whole Carlos Teves saga has gone on and the form they hit since they brought him back the last few games, I wont be suprised if it setting something up for a special occasion for him to shine in this game and and score the winning goal for city! That could win them the league!! Really have a bad feeling about it. Big twitchy bum times for UTD fans.

The only difference between praying in a Church and praying at the poker table is that when you pray at the poker table you really mean it.

Twice in recent seasons we've let a two goal lead slip vs Everton and it could prove very expensive.

Do we need to buy?

The old guard defence is on it's way out and Evans/Smalling/Jones will grow into their roles next season. Hopefully with Vidic adding experience and ability when fit. Rio's time is close to the end as, I fear, is Evra's but the twins should step up and with Valencia and Young doing their share of tracking back and Jones/Smalling/Evra all there as options it may be that one extra fullback is enough. Maybe two.

Midfield - the eternal problem. SAF has a track record of expensive failures in this area and all we can do is hope that he finds the right buy if we make one. Or that the monkey gland treatement keeps working on Scholes and Giggs.

Wingers - apparently we're looking at two or three to add to the three dozen we already seem to have...

Strikers - see above

in a week and a day we could be celebrating having effectively secured another title, or getting out the prediction kits and signing up as Toon Army affiliates.

Rio is shot, can't see him playing if Vidic was fit.

Would like to see Clint Dempsey there next season.

5 points wins Man U the title. Could lose it with 6.

I thought it was (fairly) interesting

Fergie has kept faith with the old guard defensive team in the second half of the season and the results are there to see for yourself, rio for someone who looked so bad and injury prone has excelled without vidic to hold fort. It's telling Smalling and jones are benched and apart from the odd blip look at the goals against in the last 10 league games it's championship stats.

We kept clean sheets against Villa, Fulham, Blackburn, West Brom n Wolves...

We conceded vs Bilbao, Tottenham, Wigan, Everton and Chelsea, and apart from Tottenham all those goals conceded cost us dearly.
The link seems to be that these teams attacked us harder and competed with us in midfield - Scholes has been brilliant but he inevitably needs a little more space these days and we need to be able to man up in games when the oppostion have a proper go (and the talent to go with the effort)

Top post, will add some thoughts soon, remember we've got some real talent emerging still! Two Keane's for starters.

Loving this season, just hope I still am after Monday night.

In first with this...

Scene: The Away Dressing Room  at The Etihad Stadium, 15 minutes before kick off tonight

"Right lads we should have had this title wrapped up but we've been sloppy. We can't let this lot snatch it now because they'll never let us live it down. They stung us on the Munich Anniversary and stuffed us 6-1 at ours.
I don't care what you do. Push, pull, elbow kick or dive. Get the fuck out there and get it done!
"
At this point Sir Alex Ferguson steps forward and says "OK ref, I'll take it from here"


Seriously though - this is so big tonight. I don't know if I can cope with watching it. May leave it to halftime and see how it looks. Wouldn't want to miss seeing a win, would loathe being in a room full of haters as we lose.

The positive note for us is that a loss tonight is a lot less final for us than it is for them.

Hey Pete. What's your side to the story regarding asking Cos his alias without giving yours up. I can see why he would be annoyed and it does look bad on you

Very tame from the mancs tonight, City thoroughly deserved winners, poor team selection imo from Fergie.

Nothing, not even losing to City can take the edge off my mood this week.

Off to bed to polish my Golden Chip
