Tonight's football thread

Be interesting to her Danberts latest froth filled rant....

Far from it, but what does get me is, not one team has earned a win against us in the league this year. I don't mind if we play shit and lose to a goal the other team has earned but that isn't what is happening at the moment.

I could take the defeat to Bayern as they were patently the better side. In all our other defeats, we (at the very least) held our own against the opposition.

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.

Who's bothered about United & Arsenal Alf when there is the big match coming up on Saturday

Yes it should be a good game

Of course.. you have the most expensive squad in the history of the league. You spent 100 million on a team that was second and champions only 1 year ago...

You only don't win because your players dont play to the level they should.

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.

Derby away at Bournemouth? Monster

Morecambe-Rochdale Lancashire derby on Saturday, 5th versus 4th

Oh yes, 'the M6-M61-M60-M62 derby'. Only 65 miles between the towns. There must be loads of Rochdale fans on the coast

When you are in the same league as Dagenham, Wimbledon,Exeter, Torquay, Plymouth, Newport, Portsmouth and Southend then 65 miles is just round the corner

At least we don't have to go to Cardiff and Swansea anymore

To be perfectly honerst we overhauled 8 points from you lot in 6 games. So why can't we overhaul a 6 point gap in the 27 games remaining?

We now go into 2 home fixtures where we can start little by little in closing the gap on Arsenal. Setting small targets should be the main priority now. Win the next 2 home games and if Arsenal or any other Title rivals drop points we can capitalise.

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.

Tick tock

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..

Also re your ageing barb about manUs squad..

Jones and Smalling, Evans and De Gea were immense yesterday, and they can form our spine for the next 10-15 years. You are reliant on an increasingly decrepant centre half and have no first choice keeper... and your players are unsettled because they know pelligrini will likely be sacked..
