Is it totally over yet, or is my team going to do one of those amazing comebacks like they did to take over arsenal and win it?? I really hope so but i cannot see it happening, we got the harder title run in and i just feel that we aint gonna win it this year, next year we might win it, as long as we buy 2 decent center midfielders.

They have a chance of winning the title, its not over. They have to beat Chelsea at Stamford bridge, then anything could happen.
United show their class in their strike force, Saha is quick, scores plenty of goals, Ruud the goal poacher, gets in the right positions. Rooney - need i say more. Deffinately need to strengthen the midfield, theyve had about 8 players in the centre this season, none of them have been good enoug
I can already picture the Manc's oiling up their T-Shirt making machines with Kenyon's face and the quote "the title winners will come from a small group of one".
It's come down to me wanting United to win the league.........that's how far Chelsea have come in the repulsion stakes.
I can see us beating Chelsea but actually dropping points in matches where we expect to win (i.e. FUCKING MIDDLESBOROUGH!). But you never know, we are in incredible form, and given how boring Chelsea have been most of the season, I think we deserve it, especially considering the player losses we've suffered.
It would be the sweetest of all title races, better than when we clawed the Gooners back, but unfortunately it's not in our hands, as Chelsea have to drop more points apart from our game.
Fair play to the team though, we've only won one trophy but I'm satisfied with how we're playing this season and it bodes well for the future if we can get a couple (even one) really top midfielder. I don't know who the answer is (Zokora/Diarra?) but we'll have to splash out. Not sure about Mascherano, he's quality but didn't he only sign for Corinthians from River Plate in the summer - hardly gonna sell him already. Gattuso would only be a temporary solution but if we could get him on the cheap he'd be an asset. Combative/aggresive players seem to fit in well in this league (e.g. Heinze).
I just wish some teams would show more bottle when they play them.
Liverpool and Arsenal just rolled over earlier in the season in *crucial* games and some other teams just accept a defeat, when really it's not hard to disrupt Chelsea if you get about them. You're obviously going to need a good centreback to deal with cheat and someone to nullify Lampard but when Chelsea have been outfoxed this season, they've looked very very ordinary.
i went to see them last weds against west ham. it was great
Vermin or vermin to win the league, some choice. I'd like to see both teams get 20 point penalties for their cheating.
Not watched much football this season then or still having trouble with the rules?
It's where it's at every year, it's the best competition.
Come back when you win it, or do a treble for that matter.
:thumb:
I've watched enough Portuguese and Dutch diving and cheating to last me a lifetime.
I want examples. It's easy to throw misinformed statements like that around but I watch every match and I beg to differ.
Please provide me with a few examples from this season and I'll believe you, I bet you can't.
On the other hand I can single out more dives by Reyes than the whole of Man United squad combined. Should Arsenal be deducted 20 points as well?
If we were to start deducting points, then every team in the Premiership would be affected. Not just those three.
Was it this season or last where Fake Ronaldo and horsey boy were rolling around like shot horses at Goodison? And then swearing at the crowd for getting narked by it?
The three biggest cheats in the Premiershit are Horsey and the two charvers. That said, if Rooney cheats his way to a World Cup medal against the Argies or Germans, I wouldn't be too sad.
As for Chelsea, if you have a Portuguese manager you get that sort of behaviour.
Go on then.
It'd be nice to see it start with the Portuguese charver, he'd never stop being suspended
Exactly. It's a stupid concept, but divers should definitely face sanctions especially if they do it to try and get players booked (i.e. Drogba & occasionally Reyes).
I just think Ronaldo gets a hard time of it from ignorant fans, not that it bothers him much. He was a diver when he first came but he's grown up and I honestly haven't seen him at it this season, and anyone who isn't biased and understands rules would agree. Ruud's done fuck all this year as well.
Nah that one must be just in your head like most other things. Ronaldo didn't even play at Goodison Park. What a shite example. Struggling?
I can do it in one match. Carling cup semi-final against Wigan. He dived at least 4 times. In fairness the Arsenal crowd got really annoyed with him, and several of my gooner mates were screaming at the tv because he was going down so much.
So you think the sanctions should extend to managers?
That's not the answer because you know damned well that in the heat of the moment they will get it wrong sometimes.
This is something which can only be done after the game, five match bans after it's been looked at from several angles...
If I'm honest mate, if you won it this year it wouldn't bother me, I don't really have a problem with Arsenal, the fans are all tarquin softys anyway. As long as them cunts down the east lancs rd are out and we're ahead of them in the league I'm ok.
