Are we in better position to win the league??
-
Given that we got a lead coming from the new year, it does seems that MUFC is in a better position than previous two seasons to end their barren EPL title run.
Given our previous good runs in the latter stage, does MUFC now have the confidence or the necessary killer edge to deny all others? -
Yes. Of course. Provided they maintain their forms.
-
good chance because their nearest challenger chelsea have more than defensive problems.
they cant hardly create enough chances, let alone score. and even if they do, they dont score enough to guarantee winning a match. -
i think the destiny is in the hands of Man U. I hope the draw with Newcastle represent only a blip and won't go into a series of draws. The defense has been strong so far but they should not go into cruise mode with one or two goal lead.
It seem they are not finishing off the opponents soon enough. As Man U fan, I want to see goal glut - like the 6-0 drubbing dished out by Reading. In this way, they send fear to rest of their opponents. -

I want to see Larson play already! -
i do agree that terry is more important to chelsea than rio is to man u.
rio frankly, is over-rated.
so many man u fans against one chelsea fan!!! -
Nah... Its because Hammers ‘played like drunks’ in their 6-0 thrashing at Reading according to YOSSI BENAYOUN.
Hammers ‘played like drunks’ article
Its not every week you will get a 6-0, 5-0 or even 3-0 result. Its not easy. Man u did well against Newcastle i thought, cos it isn't easy to play away matches these days... They even had a goal line clearance towards the end of that game. We must not forget that Newcastle are a good side and on form recently especially at home. So a point gain there is also a good result considering they took the lead first, it could have been worst. And also they got 10 points out of the 12 for the holiday matches... Arsenal and Pool both got 9 out of 12 while Chelsea got 6 from a possible of 12. So 10 points in this period was consider good i would say. Cos you cannot expect them to win every match, its just impossible...

need better strikers.. saha imho.. a lil too guai.. no have killer instinct

I'd really like to see Rooney, Carrick and Fletcher buck up abit.
Rooney's form is very dreadful of late. He hasn't break his scoring duck since his Hat-Trick at Bolton.
Carrick has not scored since joining United and his relax style of play is worrying especially when Defensive Midfielders are breathing down your neck once you got the ball.
Do you see Fletcher's performance in Newcastle match? It's really awful. Mis-timed tackles, wayward passes and sudden lapse of concentration. I wonder why Fergie didn't sub him off soon enough.
Where's Smudge(Alan Smith)? Ask Fergie.
Cheers.

given Chelsea is taunting -> http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/6227021.stm, that given chelsea's most troubled times, MUFC should have reaped max points and be 12points ahead.
Now with Cech, Terry, Robben and even JCole coming back, he feels that they are in with a big shout.
My reply is, MUFC aren't robots, and yes, there are swings.
And one very impt consideration, with Cech, Terry, Robben coming back, are they really 100%?
Cech has a near-fatal head injury, how is he going to perform?How is he going to react if a burly opposing player comes flying in during set pieces?
with Terry, it is a back injury where we all know are delicate. how fragile or strong he will be is a question mark?
I do hope that all are well, and playing cause it is just senseless to throw away your career just a half a season of football.. -
Relax ok. Every1 will get to see how Chelsea is going to bluff all the way.

As much as I hate to admit it, the title is for Man U to lose. At their position now, it is hard to see them losing the title unless they self-destruct. Man U is my number one hate target as with most Liverpool fans haha! But then they are really playing well this season.....
As for Chelsea, Mourinho talks too much recently. It is one thing to play mind games but to see him talk every other day that Man U has blown it, when Man U is ahead of his team, is just a reflection of his fear that Man U is running away with the title. He said Man U has blown the chance to extend the lead. Man U played first and drew with Newcastle and Chelsea later drew with Villa. If anything, it is Chelsea who blew the chance to catch up.
Of course in my fantasy world, I hope both of them falters and Liverpool wins the title.

We are certainly in a better spot at this pt of time than we were at last season.HWoever, 6 points is still not enough to be totally safe.If man u be complacent play liddat against newcastle, no hope liao
-
man u r in a better position, because it is in man u hands now, while chelsea have to rely on man u slips up or draws cos its not in chelsea hands no more
the writing is on the wall for this year epl for chelsea, first cech out since oct, then terry out for 1 mth, cole out for the season and robben out for a few weeks, not to mention selling gallas and huth, and ballack and sheva struggling to adapt to epl frenetic pace of football.
now the dressing room is in revolt after Mourinho came out blasting his players publicly
every team is now having a go at chelsea, because their aura of invincibility is unlike last season. there is a chance to score against chelsea now, seems to be on every team lips
even chelsea may not beat man u at stamford bridge when man u goes calling in april besides, chelsea have to travel to liverpool and arsenal -
ya.. gotta admit, the title is for Manure to lose. under the guidance of the experienced SAF, they should have no problem winning the title tis season.

Its still too early to say that... Now that the transfer window has open, Chelsea may just go out and buy another 2, 3 or maybe even 4 players...Originally posted by monoslayer:ya.. gotta admit, the title is for Manure to lose. under the guidance of the experienced SAF, they should have no problem winning the title tis season.
There are still many games to be played, so the important thing is to keep their focus on every match as they come and hope they can continue with their present form... cos talking about the title now is still too premature.

chelski can go buy the whole lorry of players they fancy BUT dun forget, even world-class player needs time to adapt.Originally posted by zocoss:Its still too early to say that... Now that the transfer window has open, Chelsea may just go out and buy another 2, 3 or maybe even 4 players...

new yr period if the crucial time where u c the performers from the pretenders. the pic is clearer as who is fav to win the title n who r going down. tis season should b a 2 horse race between manure & chelski. rite now, manure have the slight lead n its up to them to take full advantage of the recent slip by chelski.
under the leadership of SAF, i dun c how manure's form will fluctuate too drastically. -
I guess with terry , cech, roben back, they won;t be dropping anmore points till the end of season huh..? wow..Originally posted by iceFatboy:given Chelsea is taunting -> http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/6227021.stm, that given chelsea's most troubled times, MUFC should have reaped max points and be 12points ahead.

I'd like to hear the 'great one's' excuse if they do lose a game or two...
Its probably a diversion to their recent drop of form, droping points when they really shouldn't have... i bet R.A is watching him closely .. -
look what happened to the so called world class players like sheva and ballack struggling in the epl title. even if chelsea were to go out to buy, the new recruits must be given time to adapt to the epl frenetic pace, especially if they are from serie a, german league or la liga.
ballack and sheva been in chelsea since July, yet are not able to adapt and blend in to chelsea's play. besides football, have to consider if the new recruit are able to blend in or adapt to the country's culture, food, weather, language, people and so on, non football factors.
Mourinho just opened a can of worms, when he blasted his players for unable to defend and adapt. I hope he knows what he is doing as it is a double edge sword, especially if the blasting is hoped to galvanise or challenge the players to perform better, or it may lead to a eroding of their already fragile confidence, only time will tell -
i wonder if RA will sack mourihno if they fail to defend the title.Originally posted by 4getmenot:I guess with terry , cech, roben back, they won;t be dropping anmore points till the end of season huh..? wow..
