Tell you what Iain I've got a funny feeling that Baconface will call it a day if you do win the league this year. I think he would look at it like he has just out done us this year (if you win it) and that we will only get better. Let's be honest he's not going to win another 3 European cups to overtake the scousers, so I think he might decide to go out on a high should you win the league.

I think he could go.. but its grasping at straws to suggest he's scared.. if anything he's loving this.. he's seen off Liverpool, Wenger, Mourinho et al. and has relished going against you.

City are being over pessimistic.. it needs a 1 game swing to have the title back in your hands.. Who'd have thought United would go through the Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool sequence of games and come out closer to you.. there's still just under a 5th of the season still to play..

Sounds like Leeds are in combative mood this afternoon. In the absence of decent players I reckon it's a good strategy. Bit rich to have Martin Keown slagging us off for it though. He was hardly Johan Cruyff was he.

Hard was the word Norman would use.

It used to be a semi contact sport once upon a time.

Warnock's a genius. Get players rested up and fit for the final push in the last few matches. Why have 11 players out there working when 10 will do?

I once heard a story that towards the end of his career his legs were in plaster all week, he didn't train and had them cracked out for the match on Saturday. Legend.

Even better. Give the teams above us a false sense of security by losing this match. Then BAM! play-off time.

You can forget it this season Hank.
Its all over now.
I just hope the west ham cheats don't get promoted.

Sad, but true.
