Whilst i'll always be happy when united lose, i'm leaning towards arsenal not winning today as they seem a bigger threat and Moyes will be under serious pressure if united lose, and we could do with him hanging round for a while.Quote:

United worked and worked.. thought we shaded it but not much in it, but started brighter. Some cracking balls by Sagna..Quote:

tick tock.. what will this be now?
6 managers in 10 years sacked?
Nealry 100 million spent by City in the summer (90 million next spend), 60 million by chelsea (55 million net).. United 30 million.. (20 million net)..
tick tock...
You can't buy heart... history... that is what annoys you so much.
Agree with IainR, come on Danbert, where are your excuses now???

Carry on as we are and we can forget the league this year which is a shame as on our day we are the best team in the league. Non-the-less if we get top four, win a cup , and have a decent run in the champs league, it wont be too bad for a transitional season.
Yes it should be a good game :DQuote:

No chance.. your last statement.. top 4 with that investment. a decent run in the CL... come on you have to be looking at a 10 year domination with that squad. This is not transitional.

We just have to make sure like we did in our title winning season that we are 3 points off or less when we meet Arsenal at the Etihad. Our Goal difference is a big big positive in this years title race just like the year we won it if not more.
I believe no team in this league has the capability to go on a long winning streak other than Us.
I fully trust in Pellegrini and our players, we will get it right, we've been just plain unlucky up untill now, Just wait for us to click.

Apart from your lack of actual experience of doing that... you trust in a manager with a very unproven record.. you've also been believing for 5 years that Man U are finished.. and in that time we've won trophy after trophy..Quote:

2. We are only 6 points off the top with 27 games to play, 6 points would have us top actually.
3. The bookies still have us as favourites, for good reason. We are the best equipped team to win the league this year, we have the squad
4. We have the mental experience to get over the line
5. We have already had a bad run of injuries to key personnel. Probability dictates this will not continue and that other teams less equipped than us will suffer the same fate.
Therefore it is not doom and gloom Iain, however, mild concern that we need to address our away form. We are a team that is learning to play a new way and we are well on our way to that goal. Pelligrini will sort it out away from home, we simply cannot keep dominating without scoring, probability dictates this.
Tick tock.
Its like you are repeating my posts from a month ago when United were supposedly finished...Quote:

Then you sacked Mancini one of the most successful mangers in European football at the moment.
One nil down already and not playing well.
Will the true England please stand up to be counted.
I know you wont believe me but that was one of our worst performances at home this season.
In all honesty If we can fix our away form we will take the league with ease!
Pellegrini is the man.:cool:
Yes, it was 7-0 last time against Norwich.Quote:

Good to see the Clarets doing well for you though matey, I've always had a soft spot for Burnley, it goes back to before my time when Bob Lord quite rightly called Man United despicable teddy boys. :cool:
I've totally given up on united winning it unless by some miracle, all of our players perform at their very peak for the rest of the season and even then, what on earth Fellaini's peak would mean is anyone's guess.
To be honest, it's a lot easier that way - I even watched the Arsenal match thinking, 'we'll, if we lose then at least it was to Arsenal'.
I honestly just wish we were a better team to watch. By and large it's been fairly awful for 3 seasons now which is an unacceptably long time in my view.
Fair play to the Rags tonight, due to injuries it looks like Moyes has stumbled on the perfect formation for their team. Kagawa is a very good 10 and needs to play in the centre. One of Rooney or RVP needs to be dropped and Nani brought back into the team. If he does this and adds a good passing midfielder in the summer they may stay a force in English football a little longer than I anticipated.:p

Can't deny it Alfred it was deliberate, he's is of course now cleared of yellow cards and can play in the knockout stages without risk of getting a ban.Quote:
