Incognito Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Manchester United are top of a poor Premiership.Whoever wins the League this year will be the poorest Champions the Prem has had imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, they'll get a shock if they play Barca or Real in europe as they could get stuffed imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EastEndGeordie Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I would be quite happy if Arsenal won the PL for two reason. 1) I hate Man Utd second only to the mackems. 2) So us supporter can say that we were better than the team who won the PL.

Mr. Snrub Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Only Chelsea imploded the league would be already over with Man Utd about 14 points adrift. They've drew 9 out of 26 league games, that's not the form of champions. They've been incredibly lucky. They were played off the park at home to Crawley Town ffs.

ponsaelius Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 They haven't been lucky. You make your own luck and they've done that, as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 If you look at games away at like Bolton, Stoke, Everton, Fulham etc, they haven't been anywhere near as good as they've been in previous years. They're top of the pile because everyone else is having a shitter too. They're good, but this isn't the best I've seen them in the last few years.

Disco Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 They haven't been lucky. You make your own luck and they've done that, as usual. Exactly, pulled results out when needed. In addition: - They've won 13 out of 14 at home, dropping 2 points - top overall and home goal scorers - have the leagues top scorer - 3rd tightest defence - conceded once in the CL - have lost once overall. Hardly the hallmarks of a poor team. 3points is 3points, doesn't matter how you get it. Playing a bit like how they played when they beat us to the league, just doing enough most of the time.

They're top of the pile because everyone else is having a shitter too. They're good, but this isn't the best I've seen them in the last few years. Exactly. No one in their right mind would say they've been great but they've been better than others. Only Chelsea imploded the league would be already over with Man Utd about 14 points adrift. They've drew 9 out of 26 league games, that's not the form of champions. They've been incredibly lucky. They were played off the park at home to Crawley Town ffs. Non-argument. Could equally say if Man Utd hadn't conceded a couple of late goals, they'd be miles clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 There is still 11 games to go, I expect Man Utd to struggle with their run of fixtures. Arsenal are the team in form and have the momentum imo. Man Utd have 3 away games in a week next week. Wigan, Chelsea and Liverpool I think they'll be happy with 6/7 points out of that tbh.

Neil Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Fwiw, I'd rather Arsenal won it but simply can't see it. They'll slip up whereas Man Utd will pick up sufficient points to win the worst PL in a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next 2 weeks are crucial for both teams. Man Utd with a game in hand, remember. I agree Arsenal have the easier run in but I fully expect them to slip up against a side they shouldn't. For a side who have been beaten twice by newly promoted teams at home, lost a game they were winning 2-0 at home and drew a game they were leading 4-0, I can't not see them invariably slipping up. I also can't see them beating Man Utd when they meet. But here's hoping they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I could easily say that Man Utd's away form is awful. 3 wins in 12 games with 3 of your rivals to play away as well on the other hand. It cost us the title in 95/96 as our home form was 17 won 1 draw 1 loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I wish they showed more Bundesliga down here to be frank. Odd game I can catch has been cracking, Dortmund specially. I hope they keep hold of their players & manager in the summer. Be good to see them back in the CL and see generally if it was a flash in the pan a la Wolfsburg (although they didn't run away with it) or whether they're the real deal and can do the same next season. Not sure what their financial situation is these days, as they were in the shit not so long ago which probably prompted the emphasis on youth. FWIW it is Bayern v Dortmund at 5:30 (GMT) on Sat.
