A lot of the members here think that we can still win this Prem, so i ask who are the other teams that can take the other 7 POINTS off of Man U.

Away Sunderland
Home Portsmouth
Home  Tottenham
Away  Middlesbrough
Home Man City
Home Arsenal
Away Hull
Away Wigan

I can see were they could get 2 draws but thats only 4 points.

5 live!

Don't they also have villa at home? And one other game. They have a boosted GD because they beat Stoke 5-0, WBA 4-0 and 5-0, even beating them 4-1 made only a slight dent in that (despite being a six GD swing in our favour)

Let's look at who Man Utd have dropped points to this season

Lost : Liverpool (home), Liverpool (away) and Arsenal (away)
Drawn : Newcastle (home), Aston Villa (away), Tottenham (away), Chelsea (away), Bitters (away)

We're only the second side to take points off the mancs at old trafford this season and only members of the big four have beaten them so there isn't much scope for them to drop points at home or overall.

Man Utd 08/09

vs Top Six : P8 W2 D3 L3 PTS 9 (Won 25.00%)
vs Rest : P20 W18 D2 L0 PTS 56 (Won 90.00%)

So much for any who feel the theory games against 'big four' rivals is the key, they showed the 'big four' mini-table on SSN and MOTD and we're way ahead of the mancs. I extended it to the top six because sides in that group have taken most points off the mancs.

Liverpool 08/09

vs Top Six : P8 W5 D3 L0 PTS 18 (Won 62.50%)
vs Rest : P21 W12 D7 L2 PTS 43 (Won 57.14%)

Who is more likely to drop more points? We can't afford to, simple as. We have to play Arsenal and villa at home, we didn't beat either of them at Anfield last season. We also have to play spudz who we haven't beaten this season, Hull away, travel to West Ham who beat us last season and so we need to pick up points where we didn't last season AND hope the mancs drop points that they haven't looked much like doing this season (against most of the teams)

lol got my game list off of Sky and it was wrong, they have also now updated it.

I do feel that we are goingto drop some points and i am looking for Man U to drop about 10 points and they are not going to do that, that is why i feel that we are not going to win the prem.

Rafa should kick himself at the end.

we have turned into a big team for big games, i feel we will win the CL and that will save his job.

yes it will be nice to win it again but i would like our team to be able to say we are the best team in England and untill we win theprem we can not.

Utds next four fixtures are against teams fighting for survival. I wouldn't want to be playing any of them at this stage of the season. 

Our result against Middlesbrough is even more sickening knowing that we could have been 1pt behind Utd (4pts at worst after their game in hand).  I still can't believe we lost to that pile of sh@te, what an embarrassment.

How on earth can we do the double over Chelsea and Utd yet draw twice with Stoke? We should eat teams like Stoke for breakfast especially at Anfield.  It has to be a question of tactics against the lesser sides, it's obviously not the players.

Villa and Fulham aren't fighting for survival, well last time I checked

Oh for feck sake Lakes turn it it , enjoy it like we all are stop looking around the corner , Its a long time ive felt like this Madrid an the Mancs in the same week, not just beating them but battering them both, Thatll do me ,

[Dundalk]

Is right Nanny you cant really ask for much more than that

[Santa]

I can almost see the bitter red-nose come out and blame it on our grey kit...their players couldn't see us hence not knowing what hits them

dont get me wrong, i am over the moon, i have seen the game 6 times since it was live lol.

but i just wished it ment something in the long run, and i dont think it will.

It dont change the way i feel about Rafa or what he can or cant do at our club.

Pepe looked a little shakey yesterday i guess it was down to conceding the penalty and his confidence was knackered still a top class goalie

thats due to no-one pushing for his place, he feels too safe.

it was a 1 off thing mate , i've never seen it happen before throughout the course of the season . Cech and VDS have made more mistakes than him this season

I'm all mixed up! Let me try again....

Fulham and Villa are tough games but Sunderland, Portsmouth, Spurs and Middlesbrough are all just as tough with all of them fighting for survival.  Not games you really want to be playing at this stage of the season. 

We have to keep the pressure on them and hope they slip, we have still have a slim chance of catching them.  I don't expect it to happen but you can't rule it out just yet.
