Manure are lucky. I was really gutted about the result for both the Villa and Sunderland game. It's true Manure are grinding out results but they will fall. The Ronaldo thing is blowing up inside their dressing room and they still have to play Arsenal and Tottenham (same for us but I think we will man u at most could only manage 2 draws there. We should take 4 points and we then won the league by goal differences haha :D )

I don't see much trouble for us in the Hull, Newcastle and West Brom games myself, I think we can beat them efficiently at this stage, bit worried about Arsenal, West Ham and Tottenham though

Mancs have 2 home games in the league now!  :angry:

I can see them winning them both, although Tottenham could be tricky, so hopefully we don't slip up against Arsenal or Hull

The mancs game against boro, city and Arsenal could be interesting

They lost two in a row, had they drawn the last two instead of scoring late winners then we'd be three points clear and they'd have a game in hand (and we'd be +2 GD better off)

Where can they drop points?

manc remaining fixtures

22/04 Portsmouth 14th (h)
Last defeat in corresponding fixture : 1957/58 Man Utd 0-3 Portsmouth (Portsmouth won in the FA Cup at old trafford last season)
Reverse fixture 08/09 : Portsmouth 0-1 Man Utd
Opponents away record : P15 W2 D7 L6

25/04 Tottenham 8th (h)
Last defeat in corresponding fixture : 1989/90 Man Utd 0-1 Tottenham
Reverse fixture 08/09 : Tottenham 0-0 Man Utd
Opponents away record : P16 W4 D3 L9

03/05 Middlesboro 19th (a)
Last defeat in corresponding fixture : 2005/06 Middlesboro 4-1 Man Utd
Reverse fixture 08/09 : Man Utd 3-1 Middlesboro
Opponents home record : P16 W5 D7 L4

10/05 Man City 11th (h)
Last defeat in corresponding fixture : 2007/08 Man Utd 1-2 Man City
Reverse fixture 08/09 : Man City 0-1 Man Utd
Opponents away record : P16 W1 D5 L10

13/05 Wigan 9th (a)
Last defeat in corresponding fixture : Man Utd have a 100% record against Wigan
Reverse fixture 08/09 : Man Utd 1-0 Wigan
Opponents home record : P16 W7 D4 L5

16/05 Arsenal 4th (h)
Last defeat in corresponding fixture : 17/09/06 Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal
Reverse fixture 08/09 : Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd
Opponents away record : P16 W8 D5 L3

24/05 Hull 15th (a)
Last defeat in corresponding fixture : 1974/75 Hull 2-0 Man Utd
Reverse fixture 08/09 : Man Utd 4-3 Hull
Opponents home record : P16 W3 D5 L8

Not a lot of great records, chances of the mancs slipping up are slipping away. Two good chances for teams to halt the mancs and both lost. I think part of the problem is the opponents are scoring their would be winner or would be equaliser too early and giving the mancs plenty of time to come back and win it, and also forcing the the opponents to choose whether to stick or twist.

Pompey and Arsenal have both won at old trafford in recent years, the last time Tottenham won there was when we last won the league. Reverse fixtures this season hold some hope, Tottenham drew with the mancs and Arsenal beat them. The rest lost, but with three 1-0s and a 4-3, in fact only the 3-1 against Boro involved more than a one goal margin either way.

City, Wigan and Arsenal in less than a week here is where the league will be won or lost.

And the form they are in 3 games in a week is going to be very tough for them.

Keep the faith  :)

City is getting whooped by everyone, everywhere.  Don't see City grabbing any points.  Just can see an Arsenal loss and Tottenham draw.

They'll get better towards the final weeks.. they have Petrov back and with Robinho, SWP, Ireland and maybe Bellamy back they'll step it up a notch especially against the mancs im sure...

I reckon a quality side could give the scum a good game so Tottenham may just get something from OT and Arsenal may too. Boro may well have their backs against the wall around that time so I wouldnt bet against them either, City are guaranteed to give them a game as well but I dont think they'll get anything

Weekend 9th-10th May will decide the title.  If Ure get past City they will feel the pressure off.

Where do the CL semis fit into that programme Cigs?

tottenham are long over due a result at old trafford. Seems like they go their every season and score 1st only for something silly to happen and they get pipped 2-1. Also I think any team with an attacking impetus have given utd problems this season, and Arsenal arnt know for they stout defensive mindset (anymore)
