We have to win at old trafford, but as I've said elsewhere, who is more likely to drop more points from now on in - us or the mancs? We lose at old trafford and there's no way we can win the league, even now we're struggling and the sickening thing is that we've won three and drawn one against the 'big four' rivals and dropped points against the sides we should be beating. The mancs have lost only twice, to us and Arsenal, but the key is they don't drop nearly as many points as us through draws.

Maybe the mancs were a bit lucky to win on Saturday, Ronaldo lucky not to be shown a red or at least two yellows, and then scores the winner. Blackburn deserved something from that game, same as Man City yesterday. Difference is that the mancs won, we didn't. They have the knack, we don't. They have the experience(s) of winners, winning being a habit, we don't.

Whenever there have been new champions in our top division, here are their previous league stats.

Winners                   Pts    Previous position     Previous Pts    Pts behind winners

Man U (06/07)          89             2nd                   83                  8
Chelsea (04/05)        91             2nd                   79                  11
Arsenal (03/04)         90             2nd                  78                   5
Man U (02/03)          83             3rd                   77                   10
Arsenal (01/02)         87             2nd                  70                   10
Man U (98/99)          79             2nd                   77                   1
Arsenal (97/98)         78             3rd                   68                   7
Man U (95/96)          82             2nd                   88                   1
Blackburn (94/95)      89             2nd                   84                   8
Man U (92/93)          84             2nd                   78                   8
Leeds U (91/92)        82           4th                    64                   19

Not trying to imply anything from those stats.
I suppose what you could conclude is that it's rare to go from 4th to 1st.           

Also, the last time there was a "leap" from 4th to 1st - The Premier League was born.
End of an era.
